Awesome! Thanks so much for taking the time to post. I’ll have to dig a little more into that, looks really interesting

I’d love to take a look at that if possible

Yeah, I didn’t even know that screen was a thing until now. Gonna have to keep an eye on that…

That’s the exact one I want to get for the wife. She had the translucent purple N64 and got nostalgic over that case. Thanks!

Yeah, I just saw its 40% off (shortly after I bought it full price…) That’s a good deal in my opinion!

Here’s my response on the Steam sublemmy

My question is- why not start moving some of that content to Lemmy? If users who have contributed value to reddit replicated that content over to Lemmy, it seems like that would be fertilizer to the soil. I know it’s not reasonable to expect it to be done all at once, but if the few thousands just chipped away at moving even some of their best picks over the next few months, I think that would help with the growth on Lemmy. (Unfortunately, my contributions would be more akin to manure…)

Why am I not seeing anything? I want to see the amazing work!

We need a c/visiblemending. Please someone, make this happen!

This guy DIY’s

I’d be interested in seeing it! Can you upload a pic?

Very nice! Can you give us a build breakdown, material list, or helpful pointers? This definitely looks like something I would want to build.

I love it! My wife and I play it all the time. We were having a hard time with Xbox login on the deck, but once you get past that annoyance, its great. I’m fine with the graphics (yes, I notice some abberations) but I’m not one who makes a major fuss about that. Game content is way more important to me than graphics. But, it’s not that the graphics are bad, I just think that those who are really sensitive to this might be frustrated. It will kill your battery, though! I basically just play with my steamdeck plugged in.

Are you very familiar with xmpp or jmp.chat? Would I gain any benefit in using jmp.chat by having my own xmpp server? With my own xmpp server, I own my account, but I don’t know if I can then connect that in any meaningful way to jmp.

Yeah, I have done research on all of that before, but so far, I’ve just stuck with tailscale as a safe way to traffic my data. I’m going to have to do more research on each of these items again and figure them out. Any good resources you know of?

So you’re suggesting that I not set this up on the same VPS I have my nextcloud instance on, then? That makes sense. Would I basically need two completely different VPS services if I wanted to do this? One for my private services, and one for my communication services?

My main thinking is that I don’t know what I’m doing, and I don’t want to unnecessarily open myself up to threats.

As an example, many people will post their personal information on social media. They think ‘why not? What harm can it do when I talk about my favorite teacher, or the street I grew up on, or my first date? What harm can that do?’ (Not realizing these are common answers to security questions) or ‘Why not talk about my big vacation coming up?’ (Not realizing they’re letting thieves know when their house is going to be vacant) People reveal information about themselves all the time online without a second thought because they can’t personally see the danger. I can’t personally see a problem with using my domain in this way, but I would prefer to check with those more experienced than me before I learn the hard way that I made a bad choice.

I hope that makes sense, and I appreciate any expertise you offer.

Yeah, I’m figuring that I have a lot of holes in my knowledge. I’m trying to fill them, but unfortunately its a bumpy road. And while I didn’t think I could keep my domain ‘secret’, I also am concerned about broadcasting it too much, making it more noticeable. I mainly want to use it for private services, so I’m not sure if using it in a more public forum would increase the likelihood of threats.
