Not a fan of the "modern" style Godzilla movies. This one was really good.

It's like playing Civ, just one more turn.

Oof. Thanks. I deleted mine as well. Never really use it anyway because I was always afraid of what they might do with my money.

Yes, you have iptables and nftables, but it's not always enabled. So, when I said installed, I really meant enabled. I 100% agree with what you are saying though.

Unfortunately a lot of places just have shitty IT and people go rogue because of it. Some people are just impatient though as it sounds like in this case.

You also have things like apparmor and selinux. If those are enabled, you might be chasing your tail trying to figure out why something is not working. You would need to know where to look and how to fix it.

Oh God. Those are the 2 worst ones. They are mainly used for IT tickets, not for developing software. Jira isn't the worst, but it does lack basic features. It's just when companies use Jira you just know you are going to have to deal with a bunch of PMs who all they care about is velocity.

There are so many other simplified alternatives these days. Basecamp is one.

Yeah. I just say qt as separate letters. Smh

Wait, how is it supposed to be pronounced?

Look at that fine woman with her fine hair. I wonder if she's feeling fine today. Maybe I should take her out for fine dining.

Totally agree. They definitely have a monopoly in PC game distribution, but this feels different than most other situations. They are not forcing anything on anyone. This is really the consumer's choice. The thing is, they offer a great service and consumers don't really have much to complain about. The only time you would need to complain about something is if you lost your entire steam library. Which is a reminder that you don't really own these games, you are renting them.

Think about other monopolies. Microsoft has a dominant force in the PC OS. You have other options like MacOS and Linux, but if you wanted to switch from windows to MacOS, you really can't. Microsoft can force products onto people like edge browser or ads.

Comcast and Cox are monopolies as they normally service specific regional areas and stay out of each other's way. Because of this, there is no competition when looking for an ISP and both companies generally act on bad practices and milk the consumers for everything they can.

The more you dig deeper into it, you'll find that all these companies try and fuck over the consumer. The difference with Valve, is that they can fuck over the producer moreso than the consumer. The only other company I can think of that is similar is eBay. eBay is really a monopoly for an auction like or used goods marketplace. The consumer is more protected than the producer.

Tbh, I don't know the ins and outs of the game development process, but at least for smaller teams and games, 30% seems very reasonable to get your game out there. I am in the process of making a game now and I am fine with that fee and not having to deal with all the headaches. I just want to make a game, publish it, and make some money.

I went with deezer for this reason as well. But deezer has gotten really bad and the interface is just God awful. I recently moved over to tidal and love it. It's way better than deezer at this point

Not sure where you got the idea that it's not advisable to mount the box via NFS. You can totally do this. I would make some adjustments though.

I would use mergerfs to union multiple mounts into one. You would then download to the local mount which is the drive connected directly to your seed box. Then I would have a remote mount to the nfs mount. You merge these into one so that when you link up jellyfin, it won't know the difference and you can just stream like normal.

You need to copy files from the local drive to the remote, so you can try and roll your own solution by using rclone or use something like cloudplow which solves this issue as well. Cloudplow uses rclone as well, but monitors for changes automatically.

As far as copying files, why are you using sync anyway? It's pretty dangerous. Just use move or copy instead. This way you don't need to keep copies on your computer and the server.

As far as streaming from the nfs mount. You may need to make some changes to the cache settings and ensure they are set correctly.

With a setup like that, you should have no problems though.

You can use a few tools.

RSync

Rclone - probably want this one over RSync though.

Tarsnap

Duplicati

Restic

There's obviously a lot more, but these are some of the more popular ones.

Now you need a way to back it up. Probably the best way is to tar it up first and then dump that file. You can also get something like deadmans snitch to ensure backups don't break.

As you mentioned, if this is just source code, then the best thing would be to create source control and have it set up that way. Then you automate it and deploy the code when you make updates and have a history of changes.

It sounds like tarsnap is your best bet though. It will be the cheapest.

You can also backup to another storage provider like Google, Dropbox, or even AWS s3. S3 can get costly, but you can archive everything to the glacier tier which is pretty cheap.
