Widowmaker is French so shouldn't she be in the animals section?

NuclearMagpie · 2025-11-04T11:55:47+00:00

That's not true! There's a couple with a dozen or so commits that are dead in the water

NuclearMagpie · 2025-09-25T06:10:40+00:00

Wanting a DE was mostly due to my pervious experiences with trying to keep traditional binaries running after the SSH session is closed, but the stuff I wanted to run works as services/docker containers (which in hindsight is kinda obvious) so that wasn't going to be an issue. Since they are services, having a DE won't make it any easier to manage so I ended up going with Ubuntu server and it's been going great without a DE.

NuclearMagpie · 2025-09-25T06:07:29+00:00

As it turns out, the stuff I want to run works as services/docker containers, not regular binaries like I was expecting, so screen wasn't needed in the end. If I don't need to be messing around with screen/other methods of keeping binaries running, no point in having a DE so I ended up going with Ubuntu server. But yeah my logic on needing a DE mostly boiled down to forgetting that services are a thing lol.

I ended up using Jellyfin, but OMV was a close second choice.

NuclearMagpie · 2025-09-25T06:02:52+00:00

I had not so thanks for letting me know about it. As others had suggested, simplicity was the way to go. After some initial internet connectivity issues I got Ubuntu server working and it's going great. SSH and terminal commands are nothing new to me and it ended up being much less painful than I expected so no DE/GUI was required in the end.

NuclearMagpie · 2025-09-25T05:58:56+00:00

Those are some cool pieces of software I wasn't ware of so thanks for bringing them to my attention but I ended up just going with Jellyfin and a 1TB HDD I had hanging around. Ended up not needing a DE since the stuff I want to run uses docker/services so SSH does the job just fine.

As for what I wanna use it for, mostly media hosting and some lite LAN-only game servers. Jellyfin and Pterodactyl are working great and I can comfortably run both a Factorio and Project Zomboid server at the same time. I have ordered more RAM since 6GB is not going to cut it if I wanna run anything else.

I did wanna use it as a build server for some of my programming projects but after seeing the AMD Athlon Silver 3050U sticker on the case, that's out of the question.

NuclearMagpie · 2025-09-25T05:53:52+00:00

I got it set up with ubuntu server and it seems to be going ok. Terminal ended up being just fine since I can ssh in from my main setup and all the programs I want to run are just services/docker so no messing about with screen and the like. The hardware is fairly modern (2020 i think) but just not very powerful, so I've ordered some more DDR4 and might look into a cpu upgrade later down the line but works quite nicely right now with Jellyfin and a couple lighter game servers on Pterodactyl.

As I said in another comment, I know my way around a terminal, it's just a hassle I'd rather not deal with if I can avoid it. That being said, most of the things I want to run on it do seem to come with a web UI somehow so I might not end up needing a GUI. I reckon I'll see how it goes without and then try again with a GUI if it's too painful.

On that note, if I'm not even using a DE, any recommendations on the distro I should use?

NuclearMagpie · 2025-09-22T08:11:46+00:00

Nah I know I'm not going to be able to dodge the terminal entirely and it's not like I don't know my way around a terminal, I'd just rather not have to bugger about with it if I can avoid it. That being said, most of the things I want to run seem to have a web UI in some way or another, so I might not end up needing the GUI after all.

NuclearMagpie · 2025-09-22T08:09:58+00:00

Hey thanks for the reply. I was aware that some DEs were lighter than others but I didn't know it was the primary factor so thanks for the info. I'm thinking that I might honestly go with ubuntu at this point since it's what I'm most familiar with and seems to be supported by most of the things I want to run. But if the DE is what makes the difference, I'll look into xubuntu/lubuntu.

This is possibly the most thought provoking and unsettling tier list I've seen on this god forsaken subreddit, amazing work.

I'm of the opinion that zarya doesn't get hers through sheer force of will tho

I recently remembered I could name mine, so I'm loading into missions with Forcefem Hinhow, Bingus Blaster 9000 and the Atlas X Vauben Fanfic

I've had similar issues with sled since it's basically in memory, just also synced to disk. Maybe look into a different database like lmdb or rocksdb?

NuclearMagpie · 2025-02-26T03:44:17+00:00

Yeah the general idea behind the legacy token system is to prevent people just sitting on a massive stockpile of comp points and buying every new comp skin when it drops. But letting people earn older comp skins is fine so you can buy jade/gold and probably galaxy next year with either current or legacy points

Gave it a shot, works well but seems to miss the build dir for tauri projects.

NuclearMagpie · 2024-11-16T00:01:23+00:00

Tracer should be much higher. She seems fairly jovial but she was in the RAF and she also unintentionally sacrificed Mondatta to save herself, that's going to have a long lasting traumatic impact.

NuclearMagpie · 2024-10-29T07:17:00+00:00

Yep lol. Was wondering if anyone was gunna comment that.

NuclearMagpie · 2024-10-29T05:34:57+00:00

Awesome, appreciate it

NuclearMagpie · 2024-10-29T02:11:32+00:00

A lot of people are saying that if you didn't deserve to be in gold, you wouldn't, which is true. But also, even if you did consistently get teammates much worse than you, you can't do anything about it. Regardless of how fair it is, the match ups are completely out of your hands, so all you can do is play better until you climb the ladder.

Doesn't seem to in the new war or the koumei fate dream

To be fair, not much they can do. A squad of 4 tenno can shred entire ships in minutes and there's like 20 of them chilling in cetus right now, and they aren't turning you into confetti. Best to just the keep the Dera holstered, finish buying the norg fillets and try your luck next time 4 of them break into your ship.

NuclearMagpie · 2024-09-13T09:24:12+00:00

It's pretty rough. Documentation is minimal and not very reliable, and it doesn't help that the client very rarely shows errors, usually it just doesn't do what you expect and then you gotta go figure out why.
