There is winapps that does the bottle thing for you in a background vm.

Absolutely valid move here, we started a mp server, three total players and while we didn’t do any kind of rush, we all agreed most of us will need a lot more hours to actually get to play with everything properly.

Before RustDesk I have used NoMachine but that’s completely proprietary (Luxembourg company, except for the old core protocol - NX 1).
Afair I am afraid that there isn’t an all-in-one foss desktop remote software as good as RustDesk currently.

Now it looks correct:)

Big stuff

-euo pipefail now being a posix standard is really awesome, as well as readlink and realpath (didn’t even know these last two were non-standard).

Formating of the configuration content under point 4 seems to have spilled out, you might have to use a triple backtick followed by newline if it’s a multiline code/content.

Numbers from my instance, running for about a 1 year and with average ~2 MAU. According to some quick db queries there is currently 580 actively subscribed communities (it was probably a lot less before I used the subscribe bot to populate the All tab).

SELECT pg_size_pretty( pg_database_size('lemmy') ): 17 GB

Backblaze B2 (S3) reports average 22.5 GB stored. With everything capped to max 1 USD, I pay cents - no idea how backblaze does it but it’s really super cheap, except for some specific transactions done on the bucket afaik, which pictrs does not seem to do.

According to my zabbix monitoring, two months ago (I don’t keep longer stats) the DB had only about 14G of data, so with this much communities I am getting about 1.5G per month (it’s probably a bit more as I was recently prunning stuff from some dead instances).

Prometheus says whole lemmy service (I use traefik) is getting within about 5 req/s (1m average) though if I go lower it does spike a lot, up to 12 requests within a second then nothing for few.

Attach it to the VM

Is this possible only with the extra, bought storage boxes ? Or is this possible even with the free 100G backup boxes offered with each dedicated machine ? (Or is this just nfs mount?)

We have a dedicated machine in a project from Hetzner with big raided hard disks but the latency is starting creep up on us, moving some of the data off to the faster ssd/san boxes would be rather helpful.

Edit: I’ve reread your post, you are trying to run non-steam games through steam & proton right?

Did you move/symlink compdata out of the NTFS disk?

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows#preventing-ntfs-read-errors

I use ntfs3 (not ntfs-3g driver) with uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000,rw,user,exec,nofail,nocase,windows_names flags and after moving compada out (see the github link) it kind of just works.

Also what is your HW? If you have a laptop with extra dedicated gpu or have PC with cpu with integrated graphics and extra GPU card the games might be trying to run on the wrong GPU.

Graphical applications should definitely do this, it’s rather easy to hit delete accidentally but in CLI? I wanna see a cat type rm and some valid parameters, so if the user typed the whole command out it should probably do just the one exact (destructive) thing.

There is also 6 hour long Down The Rabbit Hole of Eve Online (yt vid)

Run your ip through ip abuse databases to make sure there is nothing wrong perceived from outside.

Guessing this is the one https://www.hbo.com/movies/money-electric-the-bitcoin-mystery
It hasn’t released yet it seems, october 8. Though HBO does not seem to claim any of the above, I smell another flop.

There is a youtuber for that!
Asianometry has a lot of “documentary”-style videos about microchips, civil engineering and histories of interesting industries (Zweis lenses, ASML, so on).

Anything without vocals so that it doesn’t force me to actually think about it, just vibe.

Lately Chikoi The Maid (maidcore rock) or Gnome (the Father Of Time album, just-riffs-rock?) to some dnb/techno stuff, depends on the mood and how hard I need to focus - faster is better then.

I’ve once tried WinBTRFS and on top of not making it work I still have leftover drivers that can’t be deleted.

I just use ntfs3 and ever since tweaking steam so that it does not put proton compatdata on it I didn’t have to reboot and run chkdsk for months now.

Wohoo time to hack this old phone of mine. (for the interested, I’ve found CVE-2024-31317 which is easier but should get only system user/uid 1000)
