This is specific to my old neighborhood:

It goes to a small hub, looked like a small green stantion/pillar, that connects the nearby houses. My old home’s was in my backyard, at one point I saw about 6 other runs for neighbors.

Then that hub, with bigger/more cables, connects to a larger hub. This was in the middle of my neighborhood by the school, and it was a quite large green box, probably 6ft tall.

From there I didn’t know where it went, but same concepts apply. That would go to an even larger hub, connecting multiple neighborhoods. Depending on your area and ISP, eventually they hit an end point your ISP manages which is probably a big building where they’re “connected to the rest of the internet.”

Having played it a decent amount, I’d imagine it would be the easiest game to copy.

Unraid is the GOAT for self hosting. An excellent way to learn VMs, Docker, and Linux in general. They have an “app store,” which is community templates for Docker containers, and have all the *arr programs you could want. Drive management is super easy, too.

All that kernel access and the reviews still show a ton of complaining about cheaters. This studio has been way in over its head everytime I read about this game.

Here’s to hoping Cachyos’ own proton 10 does it. I can’t imagine it not having Wayland support.

Let’s gooooo! Earlier today I thought to myself, it’s the end of April, where is Proton 10?! And a quick search came up with no results except speculations.

It’s designed to scale. Plus it’s nifty to be able to add ~3 tags to a docker container and then it’s instantly online and ready to be used.

Think of it as more modular.

I personally used Traefik, but only because I’m a masochist and it would be useful to know in IT workplace.

Traefik + CrowdSec + CowdSec Traefik Bouncer.

Traefik handles the traffic, and said traffic has to get a green light from CrowdSec + Bouncer before it can go anywhere.

The concept of CrowdSec is honestly super awesome.

Reverse proxy with CrowdSec, which has setups specifically for Jellyfin. Docker for everything.

I still want a combo shoe of soap shoes + heelies. I think someone makes a kit to make your own heelies.

They really need to start differentiating; between multiplayer mainstream, and singleplayer mainstream, IMO.

Seconded. You subscribe to channels you like, and your feed is just the newest videos first. Plus built in sponser block.

Essentially, most cheats for games work because the program can access the RAM addresses that the game uses. Anticheat works by scanning the computer for these running programs/services that are known to be cheats.

Historically this has been done in userspace, ie. no elevated permissions. Nowadays, Kernel level AC let’s the AC check for deeper cheating methods, like devices that are operating on a driver level.

Currently, the most difficult to detect method is cheating using a 2nd PC that connects via a cable to a special PCIe device in the gaming PC. It essentially analyzes everything going to RAM and plucks out game related info. It’s currently a back and forth trying to hide that PCIe device from the anti-cheat.

Get Unraid for your server OS. Its nuts how good it is at being beginner friendly, while being robust when needed. It has a docker app “store”, as well as plugins, and a virtual machine manager as well. It also has a very, very nice Web GUI: you manage the server from another PC you use in your house.

I can not overstate how much I learned by starting with Unraid.

AMDs always get a wack, ultra safe, and high voltage. I undervolt all my AMD GPUs and CPUs. Makes quite the difference.

Unraid is the bee’s knees, especially for being beginner friendly. You use the internet browser of another computer on the same network to access the web GUI of the server.

Most game servers, Palworld included, have ready to go templates in their “App Store,” for running the servers as Docker containers.

Lmao, that got me good! “List of things it does better than Windows: open dxdiag.”

Beat me to it. Outstanding controller, with replaceable parts staight from 8bitDo.

I’ve done a decent amount of Distro hopping with an all team red PC, and CachyOS is fantastic. I recommend Bazzite for people who want no bullshit, OOTB experience. But if you don’t mind minor tinkering, CachyOS is just too good at what it accomplishes. Their gaming meta package, which has custom wine & proton builds, is is such an easy way to milk out that last bit of performance. Their kernel manager and Firefox fork are also just so well done. Not to mention they’re ahead of the game for things like the upcoming NTSYNC in Linux 6.14. Last but not least their default Cachy kernel is the cherry on top.

The CPU was done in BIOS on an ASUS x570. For me it was under AI Tweaker > Precision Boost Override > Curve Optimizer.

The GPU was done in the driver software on Windows. Or LACT if on Linux.
