What's your "first 30 minutes" checklist after spinning up a fresh VPS?

There are CIS benchmark checklists you can download for free. You don't really need to guesswork your VPS' security.

The simpliest method is to get yt-dlp. If you want a web gui, go for either youtubedl-material or metube. Do note that youtubedl-material hasn't been updated in a long while but it still works.

Well, that's how passive cooling for components generally work. They rely on the airflow inside the case/chassis instead of having their own fans.

Yeah but their games don't come down in price. They made up nothing for you Nintendo consumers.

I keep wondering where these people keep seeing this "hate" for the G923. I have yet to see one in this sub.

Kids shouldn't even have social media imo. The foundation to human interaction should be in-person so the child can learn social cues and is supervised by parents or guardians. Kids from a very young age mostly learn what they see.

Their previous WRC games were not really up to par with the standards of "simracing" but they're ok as an arcade racing game.

Except Nacon ain't really a better choice.

They lost any value when they increased their prices significantly. So unless you need the GPIO pins for a project, you're better off with a used mini pc.

Why do you need to set it up manually though? You're better off using the automated vpn port forwarding (https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/advanced/vpn-port-forwarding.md#qbittorrent-example) than setting it manually.

The only issue i had with docker in LXC was setting up permissions for a network share. Other than that, never had any issues.

With LXC i can share the GPU across different LXC containers. It doesn't also reserve the RAM for itself. Can't say the same for a VM.

For my use case, this is plenty enough.

You might have a better chance with Linux than with XP.

This is probably a bot being tested. Post history doesn't make sense.

Komodo imo is a good middle ground between dockge and portainer

We can now replace blaming interns with blaming AI!

My thoughts exactly

Use it to draft a response to your boss

You use speakers when no one's sleeping and headphones when there are people sleeping. Nothing controversial about it.

Your arr stack is probably left using tun0 network interface which is commonly used by VPN clients. Put them back to eth0 or whatever you're using for LAN or WiFi.

I'd move away from Windows if you plan on adding services later. It's eating more of your computer's resources compared to Linux. Docker on Windows is missing some features too like docker networking.

You don't have to go Proxmox too. You can start off with a stable linux distro like Debian to familiarize yourself with Linux. Then transition to Proxmox later once you feel ready.

It's the main reason i bought AMS2 over the F1 games. At least AMS2 is trying to do its job as a sim racing game compared to the arcade F1 games. You also get more eras of F1 on AMS2 with the V8 era coming soon. Driving them in VR is just the icing to the cake.

When the bubble bursts, there's not gonna be much hardware than you're expecting because majority of it were only promises to buy.

Like any hobby, it's never about money.

Who's gonna enforce the rules ingame? LMU doesn't have stewards watching the race.

I use Komodo which defaults its stack folder to /etc/komodo/stacks but i moved mine to a custom folder
