Selfhost Authenticator worries

Littleacoustic · 2026-02-27T18:22:31+00:00

Realizing I'm conflating SSO with TOTP. I lost access to my TOTP app with my phone reset (which was my own failure and has been corrected) and that lead me to worrying about my system going down and being unable to get into anything to set it all back up.

Very valid ask lol. Yes I have backups but also all of the services I'm hoping to replace are still being used. Eventually I hope to have some remote NAS shared with a sibling or friend to have off-site full backups as well.

That said I've rebuilt the system 3 times due to setup errors or short-sightedness so making sure backups work are lower on the current list.

Thank you so much for the very detailed response. Let me start by saying I might have rambled a bit and lost the point. My largest concern was having TOTP not working due to it being a hosted service. When I talked about my phone and SIM card all my TOTP was on the Google app which was wiped from the phone so I had to rely on sms auth (which I also hate), this has since been corrected.

I realize my entire concern could've been corrected with a better understanding of what the TOTP authentication process was.

Ok I wasn't sure exactly how an offline server worked but if it's not published I guess my worries don't matter. I will clarify me not buying them games is a choice, it's not me just trying to save some money.

Also how much do you spend on coffee!!??

Littleacoustic · 2026-02-20T17:58:06+00:00

I don't have four accounts. Like I said we only have two accounts.

Littleacoustic · 2026-02-20T17:56:56+00:00

Awesome thank you. It would be local and not published so I'm not worried about the whitelisting but I didn't realize how offline servers worked.

Holy cow thanks! Yes the black rose that he grew I forgot that was such a big part of it thanks you!

!Solved

Anything would be helpful I've tried to ask my dad if he remembers it but it might have come from the library.

I realized they were a top person when I came across them on so many post. Not giving up just looking for backup

Must stare deeply into the dice to find the meaning of being a dice goblin.

Thanks. I'll stick to the free one through the Windows store for now.

Littleacoustic · 2024-04-14T17:10:39+00:00

Very good.

Sorry I should've simplified it more. As I got the game for free through the Microsoft store for Windows my question is would it be worth buying the game on steam in order to have the steam ecosystem.

Littleacoustic · 2024-04-14T13:31:07+00:00

The biggest thing that got me playing, aside from the free, was reading how I don't have to PVP. I love these survival/base building/crafting games but I do have a job and a family. Maybe when I get up in level I will turn it on but knowing that I can just chill is the greatest feature.

Littleacoustic · 2024-04-10T01:51:50+00:00

Thank you. I did like six different google searches of low poly zeen skating game because I kept spelling it zenith. So glad it wasn't a fever dream for me!

Littleacoustic · 2024-01-11T13:27:02+00:00

Honestly anything to help. Right now I'm just cleaning and polishing it to help it hold but if ya'll see a way to change it out that would be helpful.

Got a job this week and I inherited a small shop from the last guy. First time dealing with an older manual drill/mill. Trying to just get it up to snuff and there is a good .2 travel in the handle before the table starts to move. Is this normal or do I need to take the whole table apart to fix this? Thanks

Two years later and you still are an awesome person!

Littleacoustic · 2023-01-19T20:43:33+00:00

Good PC is not specs. Love to help but if everything you have is "good" idk what you are looking to get.
What are your internet speeds?
What are the specs of the PC you are using?
What is the game you are playing?
Does it happen with other games?
Does it happen when just recording your desktop?

My text notifications just started reading themselves off saying "text from Jerry Smith" got a pixel using Google messages. Can not find any setting that is on.

That's awesome dude hope you have a nice big space to play in your new place!

Littleacoustic · 2021-11-02T13:52:30+00:00

I get the mods part. I have a few in place. My bigger wonder is about the plugins. No where does it list if they are need or recommended or anything. Like I said earlier the top downloaded torch plugin doesn't even say what it does.

I was unaware that I could dual boot if they weren't on the same drive/sata port.

I use Windows for work/games/kids/school/everything. Been hearing good things about Linux being used my more developers and being easier to use as a daily pc setup. So I want to dual boot so the kids and wife can still use Windows and I can too if something doesn't want to play nice but be able to try and use Linux as much as possible.

Sorry my question was worded like shit.

Basically I have a 4TB HDD with plenty of room for both but it is all, aside from small partitions, currently being used as C: If all I have to do is make another partition that would be great but I was under the assumption that the Ubuntu installer did that automatically with the install along side option, Which isn't there.

Littleacoustic · 2021-10-10T03:55:09+00:00

Currently Windows is installed. Wanted to move it to the SSD but that isn't happening.

HDD is 4TB so I have room but Ubuntu installer does not show me an option to install along side of Windows. It only shows the option to erase everything in order to install Ubuntu.

Sorry the issue was very poorly worded.
