The xbone controller works fine, just make sure it’s bluetooth. Not sure if the wireless dongle thing would work.

If it’s work and you get reimbursed, just tip everyone. Unless receipts are required.

Mine was also slackware. I think I broke my windows (95? 98?) installing it.

Some* people get the government they deserve.

That does pretty much rule out i2p if you want any federation with clearnet.

Maybe federating only inside of i2p is fine though? It’d require more than one instance, but having a completely isolated fediverse could be a good thing.

I guess I would worry what sort of people would be attracted to it.

I’m not sure how popular they are now, but there are speedometers/odometers you can get for bikes that are just physical devices. You wouldn’t get a gps view of the route you took, but you could still easily track how far you went.

Not sure on running though. I guess some math with a pedometer would get you part of the way there?

Do they publish their protocol or how it works anywhere? Their site didn’t seem to have much technical info at first glance

You should also ask for a copy of the pictures or videos it takes while scanning so you can reference when returning.

I’m currently using forgejo and have no complaints.

Depending on your requirements, you might also consider just using regular git and ssh on a central server somewhere.

Your readme looks super in depth, thanks for that! I haven’t watched the video yet but will later.

I didn’t see it mentioned from a quick glance, but is either sftp or ftps supported?

Have you used jmp.chat before? It looks pretty interesting at first glance

No.

Are you sure you’re not a machine?

What kind of annoying things are you dealing with?

You don’t have to put the user home in /var/lib either if that helps at all.

If you’re already running rootless, I’d keep doing that unless there’s a really good reason not to.

Garage is great. I use it in a multi region cluster, mostly just for storing backups. Haven’t really had any issues with it yet.

There are a lot of options that aren’t nix. Ansible, chef, puppet, salt, etc. Basically any config management solution.

Works fine for me so far from steam on linux.

Self hosted and open source projects are successful if you enjoy it or are solving something you need. Bonus points if it helps someone else too.

What about Nextcloud? It’s heavier than syncthing, but would be an alternative.

I went through a bunch before settling on Kanboard. If you try kanboard, there are some plugins/themes to make it look nicer.

In the end though, I ended up moving away from it. Would be curious what you end up using!
