This is a mystery you don’t want to solve.
I hadn’t heard of a “self hostable Steam-like platform” before; after reading the above post I became very excited… until I read it doesn’t support a Linux client and isn’t FOSS.
Thank you for sharing this alternative! Configuring it for my homelab environment right now.
You’re married to your cousin? (/sarcasm, mostly)
@StarkZarn@infosec.pub have you heard of NixOS? If you’d become a contributor with these bitesized posts that you’re doing you’d be increasing the repeatability of your work immensely.
No pressure. Just doing some evangelization 🙂
Oh it certainly wasn’t the first I have ever used.
Debian, Ubuntu, Kali, and more.
This is just the first one that has made me ‘want to make the shift’, so to speak.
I specialize professionally in hyper automation of all sorts of things. Long time user of PowerShell, custom built C++/C#/Java backend services. More recently also utilizing Python and Rust.
The declarative nature of NixOS (incl. Flakes, idempotent ❤️) is what I love about it. Although I am well aware it can be quite daunting for those that prefer imperative scripting, or even ClickOps.
Nix (and more specifically, NixOS) made me switch to Linux as my daily driver.
I had been using Windows since 3.11 as my daily driver, MS DOS before that. This was for web browsing, gaming, and development. Linux was my sandbox on the side, and mostly server OS throughout the years.
Goes to show how powerful packagemanagers can be, it made me make the full switch after ~30 years. I love how my OS is now idempotent/declarative.
You mean to say:
"Wer nichts zu verbergen hat, hat auch nichts zu befürchten"
“If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.”
How quick we are to adopt the logical fallacy of Joseph Goebbels when we want to protect our creature comforts, rather than our privacy.
