Yea, it’s not the first time I’ve seen this discussion either.
I don’t wanna seem like I’m not believing you or belittling your experience, I just find it weird that we (we, users, as a whole, not just you and I) have such wildly different experiences with it.

As is, I have a vastly better experience with my own nextcloud than with corporate’s onedrive, with more stuff on mine.

Wish I knew why it’s so inconsistent.
Even though my nextcloud experience is fine, I know plenty of people with the opposite.

Legit have had none of these issues.
I do get a notification once in a while if I modify a picture fast enough, like a quick crop and it’s still uploading. Like snap pic and edit within the same 5 seconds or so.
Basically just a: “there are multiple versions of the same file (which is true), which one do you wanna keep”.

Then again mine is running on a pretty beefy server which might hide issues rooted in performance.
I remember it being hell when I was running it on a RPi.

Yea only times I’ve had issues is if I run out of space allocated to the container that runs it.
I currently have 16GB of phone uploads and 540G overall, it works fine

Nextcloud’s instant upload feature?
Whenever I take a picture or screenshot it’s uploaded there.

Nextcloud might be overkill if that’s the only feature you need. I’ve never used the more involved stuff like chat or document editing, just sync.

Examples:
Hades is a roguelite.
Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a roguelike.

I don’t know about their scans and whatnot, but their website is hosted on Amazon, so probably not straightforward to block them (and not block other stuff).

“eh, that’s a problem for future me”, sais previous me, the asshole.

This, but bottom right also includes past me.

I think the only way I’d ever give it another shot is if there was a mod that deleted most dialogue and story and just skipped from minigame to minigame without context.
Maybe.

I vaguely remember genociding squirrels with a flame thrower…

Unpopular opinion: It Takes Two was overrated.
The gameplay had its moments, but the storyline and characters were just terrible.

I love a good couch co-op, but playing it felt like being forced into role-playing a shitty stereotype of some bickering narcissist parents.
My wife and I couldn’t finish it.

Hey honey, did you wanna play the lazy ass disengaged deadweight tonight? or would you rather play as the workaholic narcissist?
I think we were just about to try and destroy some toy our daughter loves, so she’d cry for our benefit.
I think that’s what the annoying talking sociopath book suggested and that’s like a metaphor for crushing her feelings, or something.

Nah, I’m fine thanks.

yea, me too

Thanks for saving me a click.
Fuck tencent

I only ever bought a H440 case from them.
It was a popular and well reviewed at the time.
The design itself is fine, probably better than most back then, but I also had to retap several threads because the screws would bind.

I realize it’s anecdotal, but idk if I’d buy from them again.
Building the whole PC, realizing it needs tapping, disassembling everything, tapping, cleaning metal shards, reassembling again was certainly more of a hassle than I care for.

I was gonna check my Steam library for the numbers, but the real answer probably is Shattered Pixel Dungeon on my phone.

Some subjects you might wanna look into.

1. NAT hairpin, also called NAT loopback If you’re sending packets to your ISP’s public IP from inside your LAN and it fails, your ISP modem (or whichever device does the NAT, probably doesn’t support NAT hairpin.

2. Split-horizon DNS That’s when you configure your own DNS for your hosted services, but with a different config on your LAN (which would point towards your services LAN IP) and another config with your public DNS provider (which would point to your public IP)

3. Carrier NAT This could break your chances of having a reachable service as they likely won’t make a port forwarding rule for you in their stuff.

4. IPv6 address types Link-local addresses are within fe80::/10 (kinda similar to how 169.254.0.0/24 is used in ipv4). This IP wouldn’t be reachable from the outside.
   Global unicast addresses are all in 2000::/3, this would be reachable from the outside.

5.IPv6 DNS Make sure to configure both A (ipv4) and AAAA (ipv6) records with the right info. Although if your LAN devices only have ipv4 addresses and you’re doing Split-horizon, you could theoretically omit the AAAA on your LAN

6. Phone DNS shenanigans.
   Some recent phones ignore the DNS they receive through DHCP and instead use something like Google’s which breaks split-horizon and can confuse troubleshooting. This wasn’t in the SSID settings, but in a global “private DNS” setting.

As for your problems, it depends.
There might be a way to make this work without the VPS, but I don’t have all the info.
That said, a VPS or something like a cloudflare tunnel could come in handy. I usually prefer to host directly but still, that’s an option if port forwarding doesn’t work with your ISP.
You’d configure the DNS for your services to the VPS IP and configure the VPS to reach your stuff.
Using the VPS kinda also gets rid of NAT hairpin problems although it is inefficient to go through the VPS from the LAN with the downside of not working when your Internet is down.
You can still use the VPS and Split-horizon DNS if you wanna have local availability from your LAN when your Internet is down.

Good luck

Don’t fucking let Musk buy it though

I stopped paying Microsoft a long time ago.

Windows 10 LTSC currently has an EoL date of 2027-01-12.

No store, no cortana, much less bullshit in general.
LTSC is the only current windows version I even remotely consider having.

My only solution was to literally disable all other at the OS level.

Hey, I’ve seen your deleted post about trying to seed your instance.
You seem to be the admin of a new instance.
By default, your instance won’t see any remote communities content until someone subscribes.
Which is kind of a catch 22, because you kinda have to know about it to subscribe.
To browse for communities:
https://lemmyverse.net/communities
You can then use your instance’s search bar to fetch it initially in order to subscribe to it yourself.
Which you’ve likely already done for this one.

There’s also a tool that can do this for you:
https://lemmy-federate.com/ (which was formerly known as communityboost)
Then again it may subscribe to things you aren’t interested in, so that may or may not be for you.

Cheers, welcome and good luck.
