Comment on Homeserver, hosted server, domains and stuff. What do you do, what should I do? in ~tech
rmgr It's fast enough for me but I only really use Nextcloud as an upload box for other people to share photos and to be able to share files from my NAS so I guess it depends on what you want it to do.It's fast enough for me but I only really use Nextcloud as an upload box for other people to share photos and to be able to share files from my NAS so I guess it depends on what you want it to do.

You can do the same thing with Apache or Nginx, Caddy is just integrated with Let's Encrypt so it handles setting up SSL on stuff for me.

I run most of my stuff off of a 4gb Raspberry Pi 4 but I have an old Dell Optiplex box configured for Wake On LAN for when I run game servers and stuff for friends and need a bit more grunt/an x86 architecture.
I run the following with Caddy in front of them to handle reverse proxying different subdomains as well as providing SSL automagically.
- Nextcloud
- Postgres
- Miniflux
- Gitea
- Bitwarden

Comment on Seed saving movement calls for seeds to be publicly owned in ~enviro

There's something really cool about swapping seeds with friends as well!

Comment on Mutt releases version 2.0 in ~tech
rmgr "Mutt has two main advantages: efficiency and configurability. It appeals to those who spend hours tuning their .vimrc files ... and who demand that their programs start up and respond instantly.""Mutt has two main advantages: efficiency and configurability.

I ummed and ahhed about getting one for about six months and finally pulled the trigger. It took me a while to get used to but now it's so much more comfortable than using a regular keyboard that I bought a second one to use in the office.

Comment on What are the oldest games you still regularly play? in ~games
rmgr I'm currently chipping away at Bastion of Chaos by Bridgeburner. It's a slaughter style map with like >4000 enemies and the most gorgeous architecture you'll ever see in a Doom map.I'm currently chipping away at Bastion of Chaos by Bridgeburner.

It's sort of musical junk food I guess? It's not profound in any way but it's not meant to be, it's music purely designed to dance to. I tend to listen to it when I'm in a bad mood or feeling tired but need to grind through work because I find it hard not to feel energised when listening to it.
I also understand that it's great on ecstasy but I've never tried that myself.

If you told me it was going this way a decade ago I wouldn't have believed you but here we are.

Comment on Why Microsoft's new Flight Simulator should make Google and Amazon nervous in ~games

I don't necessarily want an explosion but it's hard to judge if I stuck a landing or not if I can nose dive into the runway with seemingly no consequence

It's a little weird that there doesn't seem to be any damage effects to the planes. I tried landing on my street and just kind of bounced off a bunch of buildings hilariously.
Not sure I'd pay AU$100+ for it but with game pass it's well worth a go!
