  • I recently set up something similar to this. I can’t comment on your specific hardware, but I was very frustrated with the limitations of TrueNAS and ended up using Debian and Cockpit with BTRFS for the drives.

    I started with two 18TB drives with no RAID, and have since added two 26TB drives with everything’s using RAID1 and ~45TB of usable storage. Converting and adding drives was very simple, but also time consuming of course.


  • As others have said, there isn’t much story for most of the game outside of subtle, environmental story that can only be inferred. The biggest story beats happen at the very beginning and very end of the game.

    Those callbacks that are annoying rehashes for you are intended to be nostalgic for players of the first game. Keep in mind that there was an 8 year gap between console metroid games.

    If you aren’t having fun playing the game, then it’s failing at its primary goal. Feel free to skip the rest of the game, but please be sure to at least watch an online video of the ending, before, during, and after the final boss. The opening of Fusion and other future games in the series reference that ending, and it’s absolutely an iconic piece of gaming history.

    Edit: I couldn’t find any examples on PeerTube, but this video of the ending from YouTube is fantastic (should you choose to skip the game).

  • Cheers to your journey so far, and to your continued success!

    You can absolutely do free SSL certs with Let’s Encrypt without exposing your infrastructure to the internet. Just use DNS based validation instead of HTTP, copy the required TXT records to your domain as instructed, wait for any cache/TTL of any old records to expire (generally 1-2 hours by default), and finally complete the validation.

    You’ll need to renew the certs every 3 months, which could be annoying if done manually. If your Registrar has a decent API, writing a script could be a fun automation project. Alternatively I can also send you scripts that I used to use for that purpose.

    As a sanity check, I just completed the same setup that you described (Ubuntu Server 24.04 running in a Proxmox VM, Domain name pointing to a CNAME that points to the Dynamic IP, using the installer script, enabled CrowdSec, etc.), and everything worked out of the box. A couple of things I noticed that would also be worth checking now that I’m more familiar with this specific setup are:

    • In the config/config.yml file, verify that the dashboard_url is set to the FQDN of the full URL (e.g. pangolin.mydomain.com), and that the base_domain is set to the root/apex domain (e.g. mydomain.com).
    • Double check those DNS records. As the haiku goes: it’s not DNS, it couldn’t be DNS, it was DNS. dig pangolin.mydomain.com or dig @1.1.1.1 pangolin.mydomain.com should show the CNAME that points to the A record.
    • A 404 page not found error is normal when connecting to the IP address directly rather than using the domain name. I was successfully able to access the dashboard using the FQDN from a local and external network. Depending on your network, you might want to set up a local DNS record that points to the internal IP address as well (though this should be optional in most cases to my knowledge).

    I hope that helps!





  • As far as I can tell, no one has accused you of promoting Windows over Linux, but please feel free to correct me if I missed something.

    I think the flak that you have been receiving is based on your perceived attitude, whether or not that perception is accurate. Many, perhaps most people in this thread, myself included, think that 10%+ FPS improvements can be accurately described as “massive.” You can absolutely disagree in a reasonable and good faith manner.

    My understanding and perception of your responses is that you not only disagree that the outlined improvements can possibly be described as “massive,” but also that anyone who claims otherwise is a blind Linux shill, doesn’t understand the definition of the word “massive,” and is suffering from mob mentality.

    Countering the argument, and not the messenger (e.g Buddy get over yourself. Geez) is a much more effective way to express your point.


  • I was referring to this specific edit to your initial comment:

    Edit: geez this single comment brought more people out of the woodwork to respond to me than anything else I have commented on lemmy

    I’m not even here arguing which one is better like come on now

    Massively is the wrong word to use it’s that simple

    While I personally think that an average of over %10 FPS improvement in itself qualifies as massive in the current landscape, reasonable minds can absolutely disagree of course. The inclusion of price is just another layer of advantage, only bolstering the “massive” overall improvement.

    I have been having a nice evening so far, thank you, and I hope you’ve been having the same.


  • From what I can tell, at least in this specific instance, aubertlone has only received downvotes for comments they made that were directly attacking or insulting those with differing opinions from themselves. I believe their initial comment before the edit did add positively to the discussion.

    I can’t speak to the second part of your comment, but I’m sorry to hear that you received that response to your opinions.


  • It’s absolutely your right, and fine to disagree with the usage of the word “massive” in this context. It’s not OK to insult people who disagree with you however.

    It’s OK for people to have differing opinions, and your initial comment was a good discussion starter. The edit complaining about it causing said discussion, saying “it’s that simple,” the subsequent post stating that you believed your opinion on the matter was the absolute truth based on the dictionary definition of the word “massive,” and that any disagreement was insane in your opinion, is where I take umbrage. I hope you can see where I’m coming from.

    I’m sorry that your comment has ultimately driven such a negative response, and I hope you are able to have a good day regardless.


  • I think it’s all a matter of perspective.

    In absolute terms, these differences aren’t very significant (with maybe the exception of the 2 hours to 7 hours battery life improvement in that one specific game). But in relative terms, especially when considering that these games are not native to Linux, that these degrees of improvement typically only happen after a hardware upgrade, and that these improvements are available on the same device as the Windows version, but for $130 USD cheaper, it all adds up to something significant. In my opinion, the word “massive” is appropriate.

    I’m sorry to hear that Linux has been the least compatible for your uses. It’s certainly not for everyone, but you at least have a plethora of alternative options at your disposal. I don’t understand why you’re making such a big deal about the manner in which other people are describing these improvements when clearly none of this applies to you.
