If you‘re a cave dweller like me that stares at code for pleasure, yes.

Exactly. Same here. The fact that „linux“ isnt a product that has to have the shiny new thing after every update and has no deadlines to hold and no manager to keep happy makes it a fundamentally different thing which actually is very much in line with efficiency ideas, the idea of progress and evolution as a whole. At least thats how I view it.

Exactly how I see it and did it. Thanks for mentioning this.

I only had to read like three or four sentences to arrive at the conclusion: yes, you should absolutely self host and you‘re already pretty far.

Depending on your location, I suggest you first visit your local hackspace, if that exists. I have had a similar journey and it took me years to arrive at my current state. Had I learned about „hacker communities“ earlier, I would have taken a very different and less stressful path.

Never heard of that. Feel free to share info.

Plex is just really polished and kind of makes sharing with low tech friends easy imo. But switching to proper foss is on my list.

Exactly my thought. Thank you for pointing that out.

That would be neat as well. :) thanks for sharing.

There actually already is steamdb which does that exact thing. The reason I suggested it is because probably all would benefit from it.

They‘re devolving into the gestapo of megacorps.

What part do you feel is horrible? I enjoyed playing it a lot.

I’m monitoring the cpu and ram and so far the server isnt utilizing it except short bursts which dont max out anything. i’ll try and optimize the network first and then go for performance. i suppose its a multi stage issue by now. will update on the matter.

E3 1220v3 3.5 ghz

Xeon 4 core, 4 threads, 16 G DDR4 ram, onboard graphics.

Hmmm… that makes sense. I‘ll check. Thank you for the suggestion.

What happens is that I get rubberbanding (I go somewhere, build something, get set back like 30 seconds and my stuff is not built), loosing my connection like once every two hours or something. My wife plays with me and has similar issues.

The logs sometimes show „tick took longer than anticipated“ or something, which would indicate a performance issue but since the cpu and the ram arent even used properly, I assume it might be limited somehow.

Took me a moment to recognize it. This game is far better with friends imo. Have fun :)

I really enjoyed reading your take. Thanks for posting it. IP is theft.

That was unexpected.

Damn thats a depressing read. Why isnt this shit illegal?

Walled garden or die

Thats how i read azure
