As I understand it, you can pay your subscription in in-game currency (gold) so this sounds about right to me

I probably would love this shit if I stilled played, 13 years ago I was averaging 12k gold a day and financing a ton of my guild’s raiding costs. Was lots of fun, though I’m sure it didn’t look like that if you were watching me. Having a mount with AH and mailbox built in would be so OP. But there is absolutely no way I would pay american dollars for any of this garbage

Fools that don’t know what they’re missing!

Yea and it was awesome

While there are usual practices and some common sense methods you can expect, it is ultimately up to the software authors and can be whatever they wish, or nothing at all. Neither version nor build numbers are universally used.

It may be the worst one, but it’s the one everyone at my company uses. Having multiples is worse than having a bad one.

I started learning k8s about 5 years ago, and in about 8 months I was ready to setup k3s at home and manage everything with ArgoCD.

Approximately 3 years ago I set up a second cluster on digital ocean and moved some workloads to that, including ArgoCD which manages both the remote DO cluster and the home k3s cluster

Never heard of dockStarter so I’m gonna say yes

Compose is good for getting started, and might be sufficient for a long time. Eventually I moved to k8s but I also use that for work so it was an easy move for me.

Internet archive actively tried to gather as much as possible before it was decommissioned:

I used idonethis.com a long time ago, but haven’t had a need for it lately so can’t comment on any changes to it in the past 4-4l5 years

I use oauth2proxy+nginx ingress gateway where needed (apps that don’t support OIDC themselves), with dex their OIDC provider, and github is dex’s upstream IDP+OIDC.

I use it for my home services but that’s because I also use it at work and understand it well. It is absolutely not something that a beginner should touch, especially if “docker” is a new term to them.

It’s one of the most important game franchises of all time and I’m really glad that I experienced the original when it was new (well, I was a bit late to it, but time moved slower then), and at a time when it had a formative effect on my life.

I was playing Doom 1/2 when I was 10-12 years old, at friends houses who had the right computer OS+specs to run it. I wouldn’t say it was solely responsible for setting me on the path towards other adjacent media like horror movies, metal/punk music, etc but it was definitely an important stepping stone along the way.

That said, I didn’t spend too much time with it compared to other games. I was never very good at it, preferring instead to watch my friends play since they’d had more practice time. Over time we gravitated towards newer games, and my time with Doom was over for a while. (I was disappointed by Doom 3’s gameplay, possibly exacerbated once again by my computer being underpowered for the technical requirements to enjoy it)

Fast forward to 2020 and we’re all in pandemic lockdown. So I fired up my ps4 and went looking for some “comfort games” to play - old stuff that I knew I’d enjoy and wouldn’t break the bank. Sure enough, I found a cheap Doom bundle: Doom 1, 2, 2016, and Eternal. We’re back, baby!

I ended up beating the original gen and their available Unity port WADs (e.g. BTSX) on Ultra Violence, beat 2016 and Eternal on Nightmare (no ultra nightmare for me, though I did put in some honest attempts). And Ultra Violence for the Eternal DLCs also. I still will pop on Eternal for some casual slaughter - I really love the dynamic combat.

Along the way I got interested in some Doomtubers as well- Zero Master to see, well, the master; but most importantly Decino who I still am playing catch-up with trying to get through all his content. My wife sees me watching his vids sometimes and “can’t believe you’re still watching Doom”.

So yea I’m a fan.

A big part of it is the open source aspect, yes.

In addition, Plex is increasingly weighing down their offering with new “features” of questionable value. Some would probably use the term “enshittification” to describe the trend over the past year or two.

I bought a plex lifetime license a long time ago (2013), but for a newcomer I would recommend Jellyfin. You can also run them both simultaneously with no issue and decide for yourself.

Thanks for the heads up.

I plan on using digital ocean’s Spaces (s3-alike) where possible and also it’s intended to be a personal instance, at least to start - just for me to federate with others and subscribe to my communities. Given that, do you think it’ll still use much disk (block device) storage?

Might be time to familiarize myself with DO’s disk pricing…

A 13-year-old former gaming computer, with 30TB storage in raid6 that runs *arrs, sabnzbd, and plex. Everything managed by k3s except plex.

Also, 3-node digital ocean k8s cluster which runs services that don’t need direct access to the 30TB of storage, such as: grocy, jackett, nextcloud, a SOLID server, and soon a lemmy instance :)

That’s not quite the case actually, the image builder doesn’t have to update the latest tag, but that’s the usual default configuration since it’s easier for out-of-the-box usage such as newbies, demos, etc.

Oh no you forgot kubernetes!

You could get notified with a PR to update a version with renovate.

(Assuming you have your selfhosting configurations checked into source control, which I realize as I’m typing this that it might not be the norm…)
