Yes you can use the autoscale mod to make content soloable but you might want to tweak the settings to get it to a difficulty level you like. Some raid bosses have some game mechanics that make soloing difficult though

You should look into the gm commands to see what you can manipulate and also the server configs have a lot of things you can tweak that could make the game more enjoyable for you

I run one on a 8 gb debian server from hetzner and it seems rock solid so far from what i can tell with the amount of traffic i am likely to have (just friends get an account). Running azerothcore and not trinitycore. Setup was very easy.

Quests are really just entries in a mysql database so im sure there are open source quests you can just inject into the database. or you can make your own :)

I am also running my own instance of azerothcraft on a vps so that i can play with some friends. Love it so far but summertime means there is not too much activity yet. Im running with autoscale mod and it is quite fun to run some of the lower lvl instances at lvl 60 and it is actually a challenge (yes i capped the level at 60 because that is what i know)

Anything in particular you like to do with your awesome gm powers? (moonfire spam wins)

And if I don’t it’s because I’ve misplaced it, and the program isn’t going to help with that :(

In that case it will help you with where it was supposed to be

Click “visit random instance” a couple of times until you hit an instance that works

And dont feel bad for random rights holders of dead musicians or musicians who are already filthy rich. If your music taste is limited to taylor swift and some up and coming indie artist make sure the whole budget goes to that up and coming artist…

Yup they suck. Gave up piracy for streaming services once, wont get suckered in again if an attractive new service comes along unless there is some proper ownership involved. But i cant really see that happening.

Ironfox

Maybe you want to communicate through an encrypted service?

Yes, they are switch emulators and were taken down by the developers following legal troubles with nintendo

Perfect, thank you!!!

i started out wanting to hate it but its still running on a loop after several minutes and i cant seem to get myself to close it, and now i am questioning so many things

As a norwegian who is back to pirating after a break of around 10-12 years, it is not primarily a cost issue. Hell with hardware investments it is costing me more tho that includes stuff for gaming (roms, i currently dont pirate pc games).

What it is is a service issue. Self curated collection of movies and shows beats the fragmented shit that is current streaming platforms not to mention the flood of utter garbage on tgese platforms you have to sift thru to find somethinf worth watching. Not to mention the privacy aspects and in general the “ownership” model (ie licensing without really knowing the terms).

Fuck that shit and im never getting fooled again.

Thats pretty cool, never heard of those kinds of tapes. Im at somewhere between 5-10 TB myself. The cheapest storage units ive seen is about $90/month here so that would be a bit expensive, but there might be some smaller ones for item storage that i dont know about.

ah rotating the drives can is a smart solution, that could be an option.

ah good to know. hopefully will not need the recovery but if i do i would like to avoid paying thousands, because then the idea of spending money to save time in case of emergency doesnt really work anymore

My impressions is that such fireproof safes are only fireproof for so long?

i have been planning on getting on though so could perhaps store the original local copy there for additional safety. depends on the space tho

At $12/terabyte/month it seems pretty expensive for media collection (I mean: family photos are irreplaceable but generic video?)

It is the value of my time i am concerned about not the files themselves. But i can see that there are cheaper options

Other options are to use “glacier” tier S3 which is cheap to rent but ultra expensive to recover (but hopefully you won’t need that)

Ill check that out :)

Or just put a pi+HDD hidden somewhere at work/parents and copy to that

This could be an option but a little cumbersome to keep updated perhaps?

perfect, thanks a lot!!!

Ok thanks i will look into B2 (is that just shorthand for backblaze or is it something in particular?)

I asked below here as well so no need to answer multiple times, but will restic encrypt when transferring or does it require that i can store the entire encrypted archive locally as well? or is that just borg?
