  • Every time I’ve seen major streamers asked similar questions, the answer has usually been “just do it.” If you enjoy it, keep doing it, if you don’t stop.

    In all likelihood, early on you might get the occasional singular viewer, but otherwise you won’t get much, which will provide you with time to get used to talking and narrating while playing, as well as develop some kind of style or tone that you want to go for.

    As for concerns over what people think of you, as you get more comfortable with things, you’ll find an audience who enjoys what you’re doing. It’s kind of the nature of the platform. You’ll also get people who don’t like what you’re doing and really want to tell you about it, that’s also the nature of the platform. They can be ignored and/or banned if it’s bad enough. Probably a good idea to set some stream rules early on and enforce them.

    But at the end of the day, what matters is that you’re having fun.



  • I’m far from an expert and have never setup borg, but I see some possible problems with that config, though I don’t think I see anything that would cause it fail.

    • In the environment section of borg, borgmatic, and borgweb, the “BORG_PASSPHRASE” variable is used inconsitently, it either needs to be uncommented in borg or commented out in borgmatic and borgweb.

    • Networks: having a single “backup_net” network is less than ideal from a security standpoint. Nginx should probably be in it’s own network (an ipvlan or macvlan network) in addition to the backup_net. backup_net should be isolated to the host that are running borg, while any communication into borg should be routed through nginx on its ip.




  • While the term “duct tape” does commonly refer to both the (usually) grey fabric based tape and the aluminum foil based tape used in duct work, technically only the aluminum tape is duct tape.

    The proper term for the fabric based tape is actually duck tape as it was originally made from cotton duck, which is a durable cotton weave similar to denim or canvas that can be easily made water resistant by impregnating it with wax. It was invented during WWII and was used to seal ammo cans. It’s also not particularly resistant to extreme temperatures nor is it air tight, and is kind of useless when it comes to duct work.

    Duck Tape is also a name brand for both duck tape and duct tape.


  • I know it’s almost two weeks later, but I’m also seeing this issue. My experience matches the others reported here.

    After I post a comment/reply I get a slightly shrunken window with black borders.

    Additionally, some of the UI elements look slightly washed out in color.

    It’s almost like the animation for returning from the reply screen never fully finishes.

  • The communities of enthusiasts, purists, and OSS advocates, I think would push back hard against any enshitification. And the license models would allow those same people to revert any changes made by moneyed interests by simply forking the software and making it better.

    You already kind of have examples of that happening. RHEL and SUSE are both owned by corporate interests. Both have open source alternatives both upstream and downstream of them. History has already shown that when either do shitty things, people push back, and if that push back fails they fork it and fix it themselves.
