I’ve become a big fan of mini PC’s for home server use these days (with NAS systems for storage duties). Low power, low heat, low noise, and very affordable.
Beelink on Amazon makes a good selection of them. Always watch for sales. I have several of their machines and have been pleasantly surprised by all of them. The latest addition was one of their N95 systems with 8GB of memory. It hosts Jellyfin, Deluge, Wireguard (client and server), dns, forgejo, etc.
Its not as easy as launching from steam
Nonsense! Often adding as a non-steam game and using proton is one of the fastest ways to get up and running!
But yeah, it’s trivial
There hasn’t been a packaged release in a while. The repo updated last week, though. Not everything needs a high release cadence.
The most common alternative is probably Bottles
Proton does. I switched from Mullvad for that very reason.
I see you all over this thread and I want to share something you might find interesting.
You keep mentioning the server can’t handle the anti cheat because it needs to trust client data. Here’s an interesting thought: how is client anti cheat supposed to work when it needs to trust input data?
Look up direct memory access cheats. TL;DR Two computers are hooked up such that PC 1 runs the game, PC 2 reads memory from PC 1, and can then output keyboard/mouse inputs, as well as wallhacks/esp. How is the client side anti cheat supposed to know that the keyboard and mouse inputs are legitimate? How is the client side anti cheat to know wallhacks are being used when they are being rendered on an entirely different machine?
You can say that speaks volumes about the character of the author (though you are the one assigning said “shame”). You were asking why this report deserves credence. The points raised in the report have citations such that you can decide where you fall on the presented issues.
It looks pretty well cited to me. The fact that it was written anonymously doesn’t really take away from that.
I agree, but you could have posted the link with your comment, no?
90% sure wireguard (the VPN server) is going to need an open port if you want to connect from the outside.
FWIW: I’m running jellyfin and a whole host of other services on a Beelink with an Intel n95 and 8gb of ram. Runs like a champ.
Using Firefox mobile, everything works and is mostly performance 🤷♂️
You’re going to connect to the seedbox at some point, which ties your IP to the traffic. If you are worried about a VPN attaching your IP to traffic, this is no different, no?
If you are worried about VPN’s, why are you not worried about seedbox providers?
The OP ruled out zig and rust already
I know it’s of very little help, but I have not seen this issue, and I’ve been using Deluge for years (not automated via the arr suite, however)
It would do you well to find out what error it is throwing (check logs). Would be much easier to diagnose if you knew the actual issue.
im a big fan of the nas device being single purpose. its life should only exist in fileserving. i have several redundant nas devices and then a big ol app server.
This is the way. Except my “big ol’ app server” is an n95 mini pc that sips power.
Because even if an attacker could gain access even as root he cannot modify system files.
Your comment was already from the position of if an attacker could gain root access. My responses were to that directly, and nothing else.
Your comment also contained
The filesystem itself is also read-only.
Which is what led to the further discussion of root making that not so.
I don’t believe that to be the intent of the OP’s comment, given their second sentence, but they are welcome to state otherwise. I just don’t want them thinking that an immutable distribution gives them some kind of bulletproof security that it doesn’t.
While you are correct, any system is compromised if you have root, so isn’t that irrelevant at that point?
The original context for the comment chain was:
Because even if an attacker could gain access even as root he cannot modify system files.
So no, it’s completely relevant.
You son of a bitch, I’m in.
