  • A couple of my favourites :

    • Days Gone
    • Metro Exodus (I would recommend you play the 2 previous games before to understand the story. They are linear, so if you do not like that, simply watch a playthrough of both of them. BUT. I highly recommend you play and experience the atmosphere of the first 2 games, just my opinion)
    • Older Assassin’s creeds (BF, Unity, Creed, Brotherhood, etc)
    • Witcher 3
    • FFXV
    • No Man’s Sky
    • Need for Speed Unbound/Heat (which ever one is cheaper, I prefer unbound, but they are pretty similar.)

    And, if you have a good computer that can emulate switch games, I would highly recommend BOTW and TOTK as you’ve mentioned in the post. The best open world games there are.




  • https://esc.sh/projects/devops-from-scratch/ is a good resource. Most questions you have (that are more specific) are easily searchable on the internet.

    ways to safely connect to home servers over the internet while away A couple methods include :

    • Installing Wireguard on the host machine
    • Reverse-proxying with a VPS
    • Cloudflare zero-trust tunnel

    when it may be better to spin up services on a VPS instead

    Most services you probably won’t need a VPS to do, but off the top of my head a couple services which would be better hosted (not saying self-hosting them on your own hardware is bad) would be services which proxy a service. Example SearxNG, Invidious, Proxitok, etc. This is so that traffic can be shared among multiple users, and not linked back to your home IP.






  • 2 things (one of which you mentioned)

    • Lobbying
    • Makes money for the government (taxes)

    Lobbying in the tabacco industry is crazy strong, they have so much money that, much alike to the oil industry, they will keep selling their products no matter the risks.

    There’s also the fact that the government makes money off the sales and imports of tobacco products. The revenue is strong enough to counter the money spent on healthcare, etc.



  • To connect via a domain name I would recommend using a VPS as a reverse proxy to your server. This is easily done by initiating a Wireguard connection to the VPS, then connecting to your home server via the domain which points to the VPS’s ip. Quick google search got me this.

    And for wolfgang’s blog, all he’s doing is setting up NPM then pointing Nextcloud’s ip+port to his domain name (which is a DuckDNS). For truenas scale I found this, which basically says that Traefik is a better reverse proxy for scale.

    Note: I have not used TrueNAS Scale at all, so take my info with a grain of salt. I personally feel as if using Proxmox and then making 1x TrueNAS Core and 1x Linux containers would be easier, but I digress. Let me know if you have questions.
