    If you have docker containers and other stuff all on that USB drive I’d really reccomend getting it all off that USB (not just logging) and onto a proper drive of some kind. USB thumb sticks are not reliable long term storage, you will wake up to find the drive failing one day and good chance you lose everything on it with little to no warning.



  • Games need to live closer to the bleeding edge than a lot of other software.

    Also, for wine/proton, and the other customisations built into the deck, it makes sense to pick a starting point that is more built for customisation. By that I mean there was probably less things they needed to add or remove at the start.

    As mentioned, it’s also likely there was personal bias internally. But even that can be a valid reason as they need to be familiar/comfortable with the starting distro.

    Not saying that Debian cannot do it, but doing it this way probably made valve’s employees lives easier.






  • Mine is nice and quick in regards to the web interface and general functions. However I run it on a server at home and my upload speed isn’t the best, so if I need to pull a larger file (Files On Demand enabled) then obviously the transfer speed of the file is a bit sluggish.

    Hosted on a VM with 16GB RAM, 4 cores. Using the NextcloudAIO docker deployment option, all behind an Apache reverse proxy (I have a bunch of other services on another VM that all have reverse proxy access in place as well).

    In very basic terms, and why you want to do them:

    Attack surface is the ports and services you are exposing to the internet. Keep this as small as possible to reduce the ways your setup can be attacked.

    Network topology is the layout of your home network. Do you have multiple vlans/subnets, firewalls that restrict traffic between internal networks, a DMZ is probably a simple enough approach that is available on some home grade routers. This is so if your server gets breached it minimises the amount of damage that can be done to other devices in the network.





  • A sane firewall configuration should have no/minimal impact on a desktop focused OS.

    On the other hand, sometimes programs are really badly made and expect stupid things like there being no firewall.

    You should have one yes, but to each their own.

    I manage a bunch of windows computers and regularly make adding firewall rules part of install scripts, good example: Dreamweaver.

    Don't be part of the problem. Be part of the solution! Start shopping for underwear at Victoria's Secret, Honey Birdette, etc.

    The only downside is occasionally not being sure who's underwear is who's. Also it might not fit guys as well, but that can be excused for the extra style.

    The ad on the left is for gaming products, but the picture is for a hair eraser/exfoliator. The joke is that gamers are all uWu femboys.

    I mean, a lot of us probably are, but there's going to be a few that are outliers.

    Then again, I like my legs being hair free, especially during summer, makes me feel cooler (but only temperature wise, I'm as awkward as all hell otherwise)
