Oh thanks for the heads up. First time I hear about NVIDIA dropping Linux support for older cards. I would have liked to say that they lost me as a customer for this, but it doesn’t look like NVIDIA cares about selling to consumers these days anyway (also due to the lack of an open source driver I had already made up my mind not to get another NVIDIA card long before this).

Guess it’s gonna be an AMD or Intel card next time. Any recommendations for a card that fits into a small ITX build?

Ah, got you!

I do something similar using restic to encrypt, deduplicate, and backup my photos to backblaze every now and then. Out of curiosity, any particular reason you choose zip over something like restic?

It took me two tries to get used to Kvaesitso but now I love it. I was using Nova until the Branch acquisition, then briefly tried lawnchair but had to move on as it wasn’t very stable. Once I realised I could start apps by pressing enter after searching I found it much quicker than scrolling through an app drawer. Unless you can’t remember the name of the app that is.

I’ve enjoyed playing Mineclonia on Luanti with my kid. I don’t know how it compares to real Minecraft but it’s been perfectly serviceable for our needs. It even has an Android client.

I’m in the same boat, but I’ve pretty much decided to move my Restic backups to Hetzner Storage, unless something better comes along before I do the migration.

It does some UDP fuckery to bypass NAT and firewalls

I wouldn’t be surprised if they use hole punching. It’s an old but effective technique which Skype famously used back in its heyday.

I’m using Infomaniak Mail and am fairly happy so far. They are based in Switzerland and I get custom domain + 5 user accounts for 1.50 EUR/month. I’ve tried other providers but coming from Gmail I like that their webmail displays email conversation like Google does whereas most other providers just run rainloop or roundcube where threading support isn’t quite the same.

Their android app is open source too and can be installed from fdroid. It can be a bit sluggish sometimes though, but K9mail/Thunderbird works fine too.

Haven’t seen anyone mention https://overthewire.org/wargames/bandit/ yet. It’s a Linux shell game where you need to solve problems using shell commands that only requires an ssh client on your machine: you ssh into the first server, solve a problem, and the solution points you to the next server. It starts easy (e.g. read out this file using cat) but gets hard quickly. But you can always look up solutions when you’re stuck. It gives a good idea what certain commands are used for and how they can be combined in powerful ways.

Thomas was alone OST is superb.

I didn’t play it when it came out so it’s not carried by nostalgia (like the old Resident Evil games which have also aged badly but I still do enjoy). Will give the second one a go someday. If it’s anything like the RE remakes I’ll probably enjoy it.

It’s quite far down my list but will pick it up someday and probably play it via moonlight then if it’s too much for the deck.

You might enjoy Bramble: The Mountain King then. It’s basically a walking simulator with a good (and spooky) atmosphere and a couple of simple puzzles sprinkled in.

I finished this not long ago on my steam deck. The story was engaging but the gameplay was a bit of a slog. Had to push myself to finish it but was probably worth it in the end.

Ross (Accursed Farms) did a really good review/analysis of the game: https://youtu.be/rxOKEsBx4NU?si=a7UHgYa-TqCfnqvB

I can recommend this too. I got the WiFi version. Integrates beautifully with home assistant including motion/person detection.

That’s what I do. The beauty of wireguard is that it won’t respond at all if you don’t send the right key. So from the outside it will appear as if none of your ports are open.
