The blessing of selhosting

Your pursuit for digital soverignity has come to an end

• Server maintenance: lose one bonus action per round
• Media server of pirated movies: gain one random spell roll at the start of your turn when in combat
• Tales of docker: Frighten a creature for 2 rounds, but lose 1 Charisma for 10 rounds
• Tailscale: spend an action point to access your camp chest from anywhere

im replaying the game in vr rn, usinf luke ross real vr mod. it bringsnonly barebones vr capabilities, you still need kbm or controller, but honestly, the open world complaint simply disintegrates in vr. a world this perfectly crafted is simply a joy in vr. since vr is generally slower, the dialogue parts also feel way less slow and tedious, and when modded appropriately difficult, you really start roleplaying to your charavters strength. starting off as a weak ass meatbag, having to stealth everything, chroming up more and more to the point where you go from dying in 4 shots to being able to go beserk bring a real sense of progression to it. currently modding via the new nexus app, as vortex doesnt work on linux, so i cant make a collection yet, but once i have it, i will definitely share it. i have 680 hours rn, 300 of them in vr (120ish i the current run) and i’m enjoying every minute of it

have you tried using a vpn, e.g. tailscale?

extremely easy to set up, if you are a selfhost purist, there’s headscale as a direct alternative.

only really good at doing stuff in a personal workspace, not really made for exposing to the public internet, still very possible tho

vim is a text editor program which is the centerpiece of a lot of people’s workflow.

while vim itself alone is already impressively good, what makes it really stand out is the amount of Keybinds it has and how well you can use them.

hjkl for left up down right, for example. Sounds complicated, takes some getting used to, but after a while, it comes natural. hjkl in particular are great for navigation as that is where ur right hand is on the keyboard all the time, so no need to move it right hand to the arrow keys.

so a lot of other programs offer vim-like Keybinds to navigate or to do text stuff. This extension being one of them.

at the beginning of the month, I donate 5-10% of what I have in my bank account to whichever project I like to support atm. this month, a really nice symfonium update dropped and I like the direction KDE is going, so this is where my money will go to in 5 days

im a garden and landscape builder and my greatest pleasure in life is seeing things grow and progress.

a few months ago I connected with a group of incredibly nice people and seeing these people grow every day of their life, bringing in new people and change with them, that is my lifeline right now.

if I was to reincarnate, please let me be a hobbit in the 4th age.

is this loss?

desktop for home, laptop for not home, as it was intended.

kubuntu 2 years windows 10 2 years Ubuntu 1 month kubuntu 2 years fedora 2 years everything for about a month fedora for a year arch since february

I am very glad that most my mail stuff still goes through other providers, but I do use my domain’s mail for purposes related to my server and its services, and wow, this is unnerving…

i selfhost navidrome and use feishin on linux desktop, and symfonium on mobile.

i do, and together with nextcloud’s map application you get a full view of which image was taken where.

just feels really cool after a half decade to have so many pictures so far away, all at one glance.

also, in the current age of large machine learning models, it is scarily easy to use one of these to guess the location. it’s like the colkective hive mind of geoguesser players working together, so if one really wants to find ur location based on ur pictures, they really dont even need the metadata anymore

minecraft and team fortress 2 for 3 years.

end of list.

when you don’t know something, saying shit like “despite my infinite wisdom, this eludes me” instead of “sorry i just dont know”

just stuff that stands out, gets a chuckle off of people, but is so obviously exaggerated that people know you don’t actually believe that you are infinitely wise.

and the greatest thing is that after a while you also incorporate these phrases when talking about/to others, so when you need help or something, you ask for their infinite wisdom.

(sry for the late answer im not used to getting interactions on social media lol)

a tumblr meme about replacing self deprecating humor with over the top self belief humor.

not even kidding, was doomscrolling, this jumped into my feed and burnt itself into my brain and 4 years of doing precisely that later, i’m better than ever and it’s also just a way to break the ice sometimes.

code: null, nada, nothing. dunno how issues: maybe 30 in 9 years using gnu/linux money: 1% of my income for 5 years now, to whatever project i find cool, mostly smaller ones tho
