What advantages would this have over Obsidian, which is already all local unless you explicitly make it not so?

Unraid has been so simple for me. Really pleased with it.

I’m “techy”, but not in a tech career. By that I mean I’ve always been casually interested in tech, and enjoy building my own PCs, and am usually the one people come to for tech help, even if I just end up googling it for them haha.

Got into hosting through Home Assistant and Foundry VTT.

I haven’t been running it for too long, as I just started putting this together a few months ago and took a while to decide. No issues with downtime though. Updates have been super easy with Unraid so far.

My answer may not be quite as helpful for you, as you said you are a software dev and would probably pick up the more advanced options easier than me.

But for me, I was asking extremely similar questions to you a few months ago (still my only post on Lemmy, lol). I ended up trying unraid, proxmox, and truenas.

I went with unraid and have no regrets. It’s been super easy and I now have the all in one server box I’ve wanted for years.

Gamers Nexus

I’ve been playing my 3DS, Wii, WiiU, Gamecube, and PS2 titles on it.

Okay, but, they did already do an incremental upgrade.

There definitely is.

US citizen voting from Canada here myself, voted in the last election. You register under the last address you lived in the states. That county will be the county you vote in.

It’s a “brand recognition” kind of thing.

No one should get a second home until everyone’s had their first.

Me: looks nervously at Stardew Valley, multiple Monster Hunter games, Anno 1800, Dark Souls, Elden Ring all with 100+ hours

Extorted? Why are you so dramatic? It’s a service I’m happy to pay for.

I use ad blockers too. But I also don’t mind paying for a good service. The cost of the service is worth it to me for the conveniences it offers. If I didn’t feel that way, I wouldn’t pay for it, but I also wouldn’t be complaining about something I’m not paying for.

I know this is an incredibly unpopular take on Lemmy, but YT Premium is the best value subscription on the web by my reckoning. I watch an absolute fuck ton of content on YT, and I listen to an absolute fuck ton of music on YT music. And my partner does too.

If you don’t use YT enough to justify the cost of the sub, I understand being frustrated with the ads but it’s a free service. I can’t imagine the amount of data that YT serves daily to free users.

New patterns emerge in a 4x4 compared to a 3x3, and some more new ones show up at 5x5, but after that it’s all the same thing just more layers.

The difficulty would come more in manipulating the individual layers, than the actual mental process of solving it.

I’m sorry, the WHAT? Holy crap I know what I’m setting up tonight!

Different priorities for different people. The AI is what I really have an issue with right now. I’m sick of it being shoved down everyone’s throats, and I have big ethical concerns about it in general.

I’ve used Firefox since it was released. I will be considering other browsers due to this. I do not want AI in my products.
