This is a kick right in the childhood for me. FreeSpace made up a lot of my formative years as a gamer. Despite them pumping out trash games as of late, it doesn’t make it any easier. I guess I’ll do another playthrough of FreeSpace tonight in memory of the good times. Thank you, Volition.

I’m running Debian on my home server and I do a lot via SSH from my desktop. I used to host a Minecraft server back when it was alpha so I learned a lot about cli. I do have xfce setup in case of an “Oh shit” moment though because I tend to do stupid shit.

Sadly my server predated Docker or I would have done this. After I left the community I think they migrated to Docker.

They weren’t asking, I was getting spammed with attempts. I changed the ports and locked down my server. In the end I switched to VPS’s.

Minecraft. When I started out it was fine but when I began to get regular visitors I got DDOSed for days on end and people poking me for ssh access. Never again.

I love our Arris modem. It’s definitely rock solid.
