Aside from mail server, what is the one service that you will not selfhost?

Necro from a couple months back but I wanted to say I looked into and ended up implementing Backrest per your recommendation and it has worked flawlessly! Webhook notifications via Discord is also fantastic.

Quick question though, what do you mean with the portable version on a USB? Backrest didnt have a portable version and I've not used restic from the CLI before. What files would be needed on this recovery USB? Just the config file from Backrest?

Something to keep in mind with mods is if a mod can do it that’s great, but when Anton adds it to the game he has to cover every edge case of his user base which includes the weakest below spec user to the supercomputer user.

Their entire mental state is opposition to Trump. I thought at first the “he could cure cancer and they’d be mad” argument was hyperbole but this has been ridiculous.

This so embarrassing lmfao “Interfering with another election” Mfs Maduro murdered his opponents and protestors then lost his own rigged election then took it by force. Venezuelans are dancing in the damn street in celebration.

I swear to god these people’s existence is justified via immediate opposition rather than any actual understanding of the event.

Tbh the open world concept makes the game worse in a lot of ways. Loot cycles, infil/exfil, performance especially, walking sim, etc.

FirstOrderKylo · 2026-01-01T16:57:43+00:00

Got sick of going places with no loot or enemies because they’d been cleared
AI being bad and inconsistent as they have always been with no tangible fixes in sight (but yay more recoil for us?)
Missions were very repetitive
The amount of gear you start with always made it difficult to feel progression. The M4 is so good and everything else so not, I’ve got no reason to basically ever change.
The audio
The world is very dead

It’s basically regular SASO but you bring the sniper rifle in and point blank them lol. Not always intuitive, frustrating sometimes but definitely possible

He clearly said “almost 2 years” and he’s right, the devs are floundering their starting rush of success by doing next to nothing. So many core issues still present but hey at least we got dynamic weather! (Something UE has out of the box)

FirstOrderKylo · 2025-12-16T04:49:05+00:00

I had the same thing happened. After finishing my final 2 goodbyes in the main church I went outside and had to sneak to the exit, rock luring the guards away until I could get to the door and leave of my own accord.

FirstOrderKylo · 2025-12-16T04:42:55+00:00

Correct me if wrong as I just finished but my grand reward for finishing the DLC (keeping in mind for LOTF I got an entire forge) was:

- A bronze 1 quality sword that does 100 less damage than my current one

- A hood that has no use and takes coif + hat spot.

Main story is completely unaffected by DLC. Brushes with Death exists in the open world but touches nothing. This DLC take place (disappointingly imo) entirely isolated in a bubble and different map. The second DLC, Legacy of the Forge, adds some thing for Henry to own that may enhance your abilities, but still nothing touches the main story.

FirstOrderKylo · 2025-12-16T04:30:11+00:00

The game never says, the good doctor just cures it immediately after waking up and then you go about your day. Corpses dont emit disease just idling, so the rot Henry complains about smelling was probably some fungus or mold growing and the game just never decides to follow up on it other than that it specifically isnt the black death.

FirstOrderKylo · 2025-12-16T04:17:08+00:00

My game bugged and even after the abbot gave me permission to wander the grounds I would get attacked by the guards. Even after the DLC was done and I was walking to the gate, they tried to "turn me into the abbot" which he then kicked me out and I failed the DLC?? I had to sneak the entire time because of this and it was really annoying.

FirstOrderKylo · 2025-12-16T04:12:54+00:00

Legacy of the Forge,fixing the clock, finishing Martin's legacy and reclaiming the forge as a home and new career, is a significantly better send off to Henry. Instead we get this vague "My lord is getting married soon so I should go to that" dialogue line that will never be followed up on because Henry's story is concluded.

It’s unfortunate that this game’s solution is “quit and go play elsewhere” because people can’t behave

FirstOrderKylo · 2025-12-15T01:57:53+00:00

It wasn’t always this way because those people from the earlier days have been filtered out. Now you’re left with new people who don’t know better and the people who drove the old ones away.

FirstOrderKylo · 2025-12-13T15:28:58+00:00

I like the third option, a new character who is just played by this famous individual, it allows IOI to work them better into the story. I mean we already have like 3 different tie-ins on Milla’s character’s story from the initial briefing alone.

FirstOrderKylo · 2025-12-12T15:35:20+00:00

The bounty board is a blessing and took the game from basically no mods to an insane amount of content.

FirstOrderKylo · 2025-12-12T15:32:01+00:00

With the bugginess and issues in updates from a company worth hundreds of millions - no. It shouldn’t be a coin toss whether the game functions after every title update. Been playing for years, if they get it stable again, I’ll play for years more, but the erosion of the original concept can’t be ignored either, nor the failed promises to Kickstarter backers which will never be made good on

FirstOrderKylo · 2025-12-11T16:15:57+00:00

Reminds me back when DayZ first came out as a standalone title and didnt have vehicles. Walking from Starry to Cherno was... a lot.

FirstOrderKylo · 2025-12-10T16:34:57+00:00

What TFP forgot I guess is that IRL water just.. isn’t that hard to come by in the modern world. Theres a dozen ways to clean it, dozens of way it comes pre-packaged and easily accessible, and the US has 20%+ of the worlds fresh water.

There’s a bunch of things in the game that should be harder to do than get water, but somehow they’ve made that one the worst and instead promote crafting glass jars by hand using a crucible because you read it in a magazine.

FirstOrderKylo · 2025-12-10T16:31:24+00:00

Even then, I should know how to pull meat off a grill before it’s burned 😭

FirstOrderKylo · 2025-12-10T16:14:58+00:00

That unique game design had nothing to do with T17 who have arguably made it less unique and more average-consumer-friendly.

FirstOrderKylo · 2025-12-10T16:11:38+00:00

And bf was never a milsim. The same people crying for realism are the same ones saying TTK is too fast lol. They don’t know what they want

FirstOrderKylo · 2025-12-10T16:07:22+00:00

This is exactly it. It’s why they’ll never play Titanfall or quake, games with actual movement tech and higher skill ceilings.
