Evidence that marginalized individuals are just as capable of asshol-ish behavior as the majority.

I host a handful of Internet facing sites/applications from my NAS and have had no issues. Just make sure you know how to configure your firewall correctly and you’ll be fine.

Must have been a lot of Dramamine going around before Einstein invented that.

There’s another nifty little container called qbittorrent-natmap that will take care of that for you.

Oh, piss off.

Kinda curious as to the point of drive encryption if you just want it to automatically unlock on boot.

Ah, nifty. I may check that out then. Thanks!

Right, those are the instructions I tried to follow, but had issues in the “running from source” process. I did eventually get it running, but I’d get errors and nothing would work once I tried to start adding the plugins I wanted.

Thanks for the advice! The application I’m using in Wine is Elite Dangerous Market Connector, nota game itself but a small helper app for the Elite Dangerous game. According to the git page, you can get it running from source with Python, but I wasn’t quite skilled enough to get that working.

As far as my actual games go, those seem to all run fine through Steam/Heroic Games Launcher with Proton GE edition, which as I understand it incorporates Wine somehow…? I’m not sure of the specifics, but I assumed Wine in that context would get updated with Proton eventually.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I’m still very new to Linux. I have Wine 8 installed, currently just to run one application for one of my games. Should I bother to update to 9 if my current setup is working? I’m still adjusting to the FOSS environment and haven’t quite figured out whether or not I should always update to the latest and greatest just because I can.

I recently converted to Linux and am loving the FOSS environment. Together with my NAS which covers my “cloud storage” and media server needs, I’m having an awesome time not having to give away money and/or my information just to use my own hardware.

You need a hug or somethin’, sweetheart?

Considering the Fediverse is new territory, legally speaking, I can sympathize with a bit of extra caution from instance hosts who don’t have a team of lawyers backing them up.
