They have Open Source versions of their stack. Just run it yourself at no cost.

Am I missing something?

Also, use any other similar service which all have open source counterparts: Head scale/Tailscale, or ZeroTier.

Any RSS reader will work with RSS feeds. It’s an open standard.

To be fair, you could play these games all day, and it still won’t register exactly what you’re doing because it lacks that repetition.

Try installing it across more machines and get some reps in that way:

• Maybe friends and family want to try it out
• Get a cheap VPS and host some basic services (not containers)
• Next time instead of installing a package for something you want to run, build from source
• Find a cheap laptop or two at a thrift store, garage sale, or Estate Sale you can beat on a bit

Having one machine working well just won’t get you the exposure you need. Identify some goal of anything you want working, and set about doing it the hard way.

Same way you started anywhere: practice.

Most people who use Windows cant, and don’t, need to fix a thing. Same thing in Linux.

The goal is to make the OS as compatible with as many machines as possible, to make sure that user intervention isn’t really needed, so you don’t really get that reflexive sort of knowledge unless you’re doing it for work and being exposed to it at a MUCH larger scale. Even then, you forget the things you don’t use frequently.

There tons of learning simulators out there for the basics. Just found this one. Give it a go: https://itsfoss.gitlab.io/post/test-your-bash-skills-by-playing-command-line-games/

For starters: Rails, PHP, and passthrough routing stacks like message handlers and anything that expects socket handling. It’s just not built for that, OR session management for such things if whatever it’s talking to isn’t doing so.

It seems like you think I’m talking smack about HAProxy, but you don’t understand it’s real origin or strengths and assume it can do anything.

It can’t. Neither can any of the other services I mentioned.

Chill out, kid.

HAProxy is not meant for complex routing or handling of endpoints. It’s a simple service for Load Balancing or proxying alone. All the others have better features otherwise.

I’ll be honest with you here, Nginx kind of ate httpd’s lunch 15 years ago, and with good reason.

It’s not that httpd is “bad”, or not useful, or anything like that. It’s that it’s not as efficient and fast.

The Apache DID try to address this awhile back, but it was too late. All the better features of nginx just kinda did httpd in IMO.

Apache is fine, it’s easy to learn, there’s a ton of docs around for it, but a massively diminished userbase, meaning less up to date information for new users to find in forums in the like.

It’s called a Reverse Proxy. The most popular options are going to be Nginx, Caddy, Traefik, Apache (kinda dated, but easy to manage), or HAProxy if you’re just doing containers.

The KVM is the most likely culprit. Remove it from the equation for awhile and see what happens.

If you’re ever present or have remote access to her network, make sure sshd is enabled, and try to SSH into it to see what happens.

Q’s:

1. Is this a laptop or desktop?
2. If Desktop, what kind of cable is the monitor connected with?
3. See if you can get dmesg output (needs to happen during the event, but the machine is still accessible - hence ssh above)
4. Does the monitor have its own power saving settings?

It’s pretty hard to totally “crash” a running Linux kernel, so understanding some details about what symptoms happened, during, and after (screen freezes, sound stops, mouse stops…etc) would be helpful to discern if this was a kernel thing, or just apps crashing. Almost always ends up being a hardware issue or resource constraint though.

As for game logs and crashing, here are some guides and info:

You don’t. That comment was misinformed. No idea where they heard that from.

We’re all running high performance games through the same thing all the time now. Benchmarks best Windows in most cases.

You’ll be more than fine.

Wine, Bottles, Lutris…etc

Edit: this was a different kind of solution someone else sent me: https://medium.com/@pascalwhoop/how-to-get-lightroom-running-on-linux-with-webassembly-and-nativefier-a69dd9d9f647

First: there is no cheap way to back this amount of data up. AWS Glacier would be about $200/mo, PLUS bandwidth transfer charges, which would be something like $500. R2 would be about $750/mo, no transfer charges. So assume that most companies with some sort of whacky, competing product would be billed by either of these companies with you as a consumer, and you can figure out how this is the baseline of what you’ll be getting charged from them.

50TB of what? If it’s just readily available stuff you can download again, skip backing that up. Only keep personal effects, and see how much you can reduce this number by.

I got it working under both Wine and Bottles for someone that needed it, but it was a real pain in the ass, and the reports on actually successfully doing so are hit or miss.

Found this solid write up on various options and results though, which sounds like it could be helpful for you while investigating: https://gist.github.com/eylenburg/38e5da371b7fedc0662198efc66be57b

I have no idea what this is, and there’s no links. Second.

From the features talked about, I’m guessing a browser.

I want to say Sonarr has a regex renaming feature, but I may just be making that up as I’m not looking at my instance right now. Doing whatever renaming based on a pattern would be preferable during the download phase in order to keep the metadata of each service clean.

Failing that, if you have a predictable list of release group strings you want removed from filenames, a one liner with sed or similar would take care of this. You’d then break the known locations of these files by any service tracking them of course, but they will eventually be reindexed.

Seems kind of pricey for that specific unit, but it should work well for just hosting simple services.
