Playing The Surge, a Souls-like sci-fi game with some fresh ideas for its time. The combat is like a button masher with combos and finishing blows, and dismemberment that rewards you with new gear. If you see an enemy with gear you want, you hack off their limbs and collect the gear, piece by piece.

I’m playing Heretic in split screen with my son on our Steam HTPC. We’re in the second chapter now.

And merry Christmas!

This makes Civil War look like a mockumentary.

“Whoever told you that is your enemy!”

The ability to use a custom search engine (searXNG) and the accessibility/UI features.

This has been my go-to on GrapheneOS. Glad to see it get some notice.

You could try learning podman as an intermediate tool. I recommend it for the user-controlled systemd services. There are so many systemd commands to fine tune your containers.

That’s great to hear you’ve made it into a business. I’d been thinking of creating a “biz in a box” side hustle for small businesses. I’m not very business-savvy, though.

I just have it in a pod with the companion app. They auto update and auto restart at night. I’ve also kept my subscriptions fairly low. Most of the time, that’s all I need.

I’ve been selfhosting for about 4 years now. I wanted to break away from services like Google and find tools I could control on my own hardware.

I went from bare-metal Jellyfin and Nextcloud on my NAS to running the NAS with an NFS share and a Raspberry Pi as a pod orchestrator through quadlets. That little sucker is running pods for:

• media (audiobookshelf, kavita, Jellyfin)
• Immich
• Invidious
• Navidrome
• Peertube
• SearXNG
• Servarr suite (flareresolverr/jackett/prowlarr, gluetun/qbittorrent, jellyseerr, lazylibrarian, lidarr, mylar3, radarr, sonarr)

It’s also running instances of:

• mumble
• nginx-proxy-manager
• sftpgo
• syncthing

I’ve only opened a few services for family usage, but everything else is VPN-accessible.

Also, no more Nextcloud. Syncthing balances everything out, and I can use sftpgo’s webdav option to host my own seedvault backups. Now Google is collecting dust.

This looks like a rPi Zero.

I wonder what quadlets would look like. U-hauls on a ferry?

I have my own instance of this, and it’s become my only front end for YouTube content. The last political shooting (and subsequent firings of commenters of said shooting) made sure of that. I imported my subscriptions, scrubbed all my data, and haven’t looked back since.
