No, I use a second reverse proxy for my local network. For example, I can resolve navidrome either via my VPS using navidrome.mydomain.net or directly in my local network with the address navidrome.local.mydomain.net. I also configured the local caddy reverse proxy with a DNS provider module to get LetsEncrypt certificates for my local addresses.

I use a wireguard tunnel that connects to a cheap VPS and then configured a caddy reverse proxy on that VPS that makes my services available on the internet.

Why are they doing business in Russia?

I tried it a couple of years ago with the steam controller and the action camera. It works surprisingly well.

Here is more information.

Apparently its not developed by ArenaNet but a smaller studio of former ArenaNet employees.

And Guild Wars Reforged isn’t about a one-time update; we plan to keep collaborating with our partners at 2weeks to make further improvements to the game in the future!

This sounds promising.

Well, now I know what I will be doing during the better part of my Christmas holidays.

I am admittedly still hoping for a proper Guild Wars 1 remaster or a successor that is more like GW1 in tone and game play. Maybe its nostalgia but the sequels plot and world building never reached the quality of the original game for me.

I recently bought one and I am quite happy with it.

That explains a lot about her.

Gothic one and two are really good. In the first game you are dropped into a prison colony and very soon a guard will try to extract protection money from you. In any other game the guard would just kill you, instead you will meet another guy asking you for help. He then lures you to a secluded space, reveals that he was sent by the corrupt guard, and beats you unconscious to steal your money.

Another game I will never stop recommending, because of its worldbuilding, is the excellent Enderal: Forgotten Stories. I really like how it depicts the theocratic society of the continent the story plays out in. The story about what initially seems like a standard fantasy thieves guild but is actually a cult that shuns emotion and try to transcend the physical body, is also really good and ties in with the overarching plot of the game.

I would not recommend it. Session is a signal fork that deliberately removes forward secrecy from the protocol and uses weaker keys. The removal of forward security means that if your private key is ever exposed all your past messages could be decrypted.

I use Kopia to do encrypted incremental backups of my user directory.

Don’t worry about being an introvert in a big city; I’ve lived here for three years and have never seen my next door neighbor, let alone spoken to them. You don’t get this kind of privacy in a village.

Honestly, I would go with a managed Nextcloud solution like Hetzner Storage Share or another reputable provider. No hassle of updating and securing the server, no data stored at Google or Microsoft, and easy to administrate by people who aren’t expert system administrators in case you are no longer available. I also went with that route for my personal instance because it was actually cheaper than hosting it myself on a VPS.

I don’t need to be a three star Michelin chef to realize that the plate of shit I have just been served is in fact a plate of shit. Similarly, I also don’t need to be a game developer to see that the buggy mess of a game gearbox just released is not worth my time.

As for the listenbrainz/last.fm that is kind of a solution, but it takes a very long time to train up your profile to actually be useful.

This isn’t a huge issue, listenbrainz supports importing your spotify history.

There no need to choose on over the other. I host all my podman containers in a Proxmox VM.

You can connect navidrome and many other music players to listenbrainz.org. Like Spotify it creates an end of the year report and it also does recommendations like the weekly spotify playlist.

Pretty cool as a learning exercise. As a follow up scenario maybe try moving this infrastructure to another cloud provider because AWS deleted your account without warning or try a multi-cloud deployment.

Regarding Lets Encrypt your server doesn’t need to be accessible from the internet if you use the DNS-01 challenge. Caddy with the caddy-dns plugin for your provider can do that automatically for you.
