I have a big storage server and a couple of backup drives for all my media

I have a reminder pop every few months to download the newest games that I bought from GoG. I’ve found it easier to download one or two, rather than a giant batch.

Another couple of reasons:

A) It gets people to quit, so the company doesn’t have to fire them

B) It selects for those who are loyal, allowing them to filter out those that are unwilling to be pushed around

Correct! I get confused sometimes! :)

RTMP cameras with Motion: https://motion-project.github.io/

I use https://tt-rss.org/ The devs are kinda jerks, but the app works decently if you can self-host. Theres also a couple of phone-apps that work fairly well.

I used a Steam Deck dock with an HDMI out. Worked just fine!

I used my SteamDeck as a media center for a while, and it worked pretty well. I never had any battery issues. It did have a little bit of trouble on super high-quality videos, but it worked well enough for the rest

I’ve long been a fan of edis: https://www.edis.at/

I use Webcalendar - https://www.k5n.us/webcalendar/

Its been a while since I’ve looked at the alternatives, but this has served me well for >7 years

I have Dovecot and Postfix running on Debian on a server in my closet. Works great for my needs

I use Debian and Ganeti. I’ve not toyed with much else, so I dont know how they compare.

I just use a few shell scripts. Basically some simple bash scripts that do all the work after a fresh install.

Kubernetes/Ansible are great to learn, but are also more complicated for simple setups.
