  • All the same. There will be no appreciable difference in any of them at the level you’re interested that can’t be tweaked and tuned from the apps you use.

    Edit: though if you want long running game servers, a small minipc that draws a tiny amount of power is a good way to continuously keep the server portion running without wasting a ton of energy. The Intel N100 or the Ryzen 5 (forget which) can both run below 12W, which is about the same as an LED light bulb.








  • You need a router or a proxy. A proxy would be annoying, so a router is preferred.

    If you don’t have control of your edge router, just get a cheap Pi-type device, install OpenWRT, setup your VPN connections, then create a route on your network to point at this new device for whatever you need it for.

    If you simply want to use it at-will for certain things, you can put a proxy on it.

    As to your other issues, it sounds like your WG connection is just dropping, in which case it won’t automatically reconnect by default. OpenWRT has plugins that can monitor that and reconnect when it drops, or you can script it pretty quickly as well.





  • I’ve never seen this “just” happen, but have seen it during events like switching from headphones to speakers and such.

    You may also have your app volumes linked to your master channels, meaning when you lower the sound on your master with something like a key combo, then it lowers the individual app volumes as well, which is generally not something you’d want enabled.

    Apps at full, and using PCM/Master channel for general volume is pretty much the “default”.






  • Mirroring is exactly that: a copy

    If the thing you are mirroring does something you don’t like, you can’t stop. Literally imagine standing in front of a mirror and trying to stop the reflection from doing something you don’t like. Not happening.

    The thing about git is that it keeps all history, even in a force push situation, unless they actively clear previous history, which is… difficult.

    What you can do is lag proxy whatever the main branch is to catch it in time, or just keep revisions of your mirror that you script and tag yourself. It’s like a daily backup you can go back and look into.

    It’s going to waste a ton of space and time, but it would effectively create a stop-loss on someone nuking history, which generally is just not a thing that people do because it’s entirely stupid.
