I hope this goes better than last time.

Well I mean, at least they are keeping an election promise?

Not that it’s a good promise to be keeping though

Yep, companies give “unlimited PTO” because it’s a way to actually reduce the amount of PTO employees take.

Give them 20 days PTO/year? They’ll take around 20 a year.

Give them unlimited PTO? They need to justify every bit of PTO, so probably only get to take 4 or 5 for important days.

Upside: not fired.

Downside: have to do work.

Upside: make money

Downside: not enough money

Make sure you get a reputable VPN to avoid issues with any “questionably acquired” content.

Surprised they didn’t lean into it. “Just lost your job? More time to play games!”

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.

My guess is log files are being written to it? Might want to install a proper drive internally and redirect log storage. With less activity the USB drive should not heat up anywhere near as much.

It was one of the best value for money experiences I’ve ever had. Only beat out by The left 4 dead series based on hours played.

Wonder if it’s piloted using a steamdeck or controller?

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.

Some issues are

1. As mentioned, they will not run on the actual hardware
2. Pressed CD’s normally last longer than a burned one.
3. It’s far too easy for the creator to simply create a few extra to make a little more $, where as creating pressed media take a bit more effort/money as you need to do it in bulk to be cheaper than just ordering blank CDs on Amazon.
4. It’s far less “premium”, which is normally what limited run items are for.

It’s a good game, and despite complaints people have had regarding balance issues, Arrowhead do seem to be doing things well (if slowly).

The only complaint I have after the recent balance changes is that the number of heavies seems at odds with the nerfs. Quasar was too strong, but the extra 5 seconds added to the cooldown means it has about 20-25 seconds between each shot. That’s near EAT calldown levels of slow

AND AGAIN!

HOW DOES SUCH A SMALL BEING MAKE SO MUCH POOP?!

1. It runs in browsers
2. If you hate your co-workers, then they will also feel your pain.

It was an ok game, if the sale* included the DLC that would have helped.

But the card modifiers just never fit to me.

Nothing too special, just had to do some fiddling to get the Apache reverse proxy working correctly. Now I believe they have a pre-made example for it, but back then they only had nginx. I stick with Apache because that’s still what I know. Might start learning nginx, but my main work isn’t in web stuff.

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.
