If I wasn’t using so many other Nextcloud apps besides the file storage I would switch.

As far as I know RetroPie also has x64 images.

Nextcloud as the server and DAVx⁵ with Fossify Calendar as the client on my phone. On my laptop Kontact, but I haven’t looked at that in ages, so it could be in shambles for all I know. I think I’ve also used Thunderbird with some plugin.

And my Fritzbox router uses CardDAV to populate the phonebook of all connected phones.

Guess I was always using the right combination of apps. Never had any problems with CalDAV and CardDAV. Except for frustration at outright missing support.

Pft, just enable wobbly windows and Linux will be the shit.

For everything else God invented cloud gaming.

But seriously, my kids had the choice between Windows and Linux. They chose Linux because it looks nicer. The older one is even on Discord with friends who live further away. He finds enough current games that have anti cheat for Linux enabled. And in the end they both always get back to Minecraft and Roblox.

Yes. But in terms of gaming Steam seems to have problems if your games are on an NTFS (Windows filesystem) partition. Everything else should work.

Yes.

But every other year Windows seems to “accidentally” mess with Linux bootloaders on other drives/partitions.

The EA app (like most other games) can run with Proton, Valve’s compatibility layer for running Windows games on Linux. If you run your games through Steam they should just work. External games or Windows programs can be added to Steam and configured to use Proton.

Roblox works with Sober.

The games you listed all work on Linux.

Roblox sometimes has problems but currently works. You need Sober to launch Roblox.

With Minecraft it depends on the edition. Java Edition works great. Bedrock Edition is rocky. The Windows version doesn’t work at all but the Android version does through the Bedrock Launcher. You’d have to buy it on Google Play. But if he plays Java Edition he’s golden.

And it will only work on the latest GPUs.

Wouldn’t LW have to upgrade their instance? They’ve been stuck on 0.19.3 since forever.

Seems to be a lemmy.ml thing.

Brilliant!

And then a baby on a tricycle drives by casually.

So, what did you do?

Just for drive redundancy it’s awesome. One drive fails you just pull it out, put in a new one and let the array rebuild. I guess the upside of hardware RAID is that some even allow you to swap a disk without powering down. Either way, you have minimal downtime.

I guess a better way would be to have multiple servers. Though with features like checksums in BTRFS I guess a RAID is still better because it can protect against bitrot. And with directly connected systems in a RAID it is generally easier to ensure consistency.

I’d stay away from hardware RAID controllers. If they fail you’re gonna have a hard time. Learned that the hard way. With a software RAID you can do what you proposed. Just put the disk in another system and use it there.

But what if the OOM notification daemon gets killed by the OOM killer?

Port forwarding is what you’re looking for. You almost certainly can configure that in your router. You tell it what the port in the outside should be and to what IP and port in your LAN it should go.

Edit: Just saw your other comments. I’m a bit at a loss.
