I can make large and complicated games, but my 3d art skills are absolute trash. I envy you for having both skills and being able to get this far in one year. Either you're young with time on your hands, or you're a genius. Or both...

Good job btw!

I converted my gaming machine into a server as well. I actually took the graphics card out as I couldn't find a major use for it, but kept the 12 core Ryzen and upped it to 128gb memory. It now self host way too many things, including a few game servers my friends and I play... But even with all this, CPU carries along nicely and not even at half memory consumption (yet).

But as others have asked, what's your goal? Don't overkill it if you're only hosting one service or something. If you're doing a lot like I do, then up the RAM. And seriously consider whether the GPU is even useful or needed if you're not using a desktop environment.

For a hardware response, my go to camera company is Amcrest, in case you're looking for someone reliable and trustworthy (cameras don't require dedicated apps or internet and work perfectly with a regular PoE to an unmanaged PoE switch)

Cyberpunk worked out of the box for me, but senua 2 absolutely refuses to start no matter what kind of voodoo I try ("fatal error"). I seem to always be on the opposite spectrum of protondb mint users I swear.

I've had this issue many times as well. I've found changing the MTU would help since it seems some filter specific ranges. Doesn't always work but I've had more success than failure doing so

As a Gentoo user, I can confirm I started from sticks and rocks. I'm now in the space age though because of the customizability and performance boosts, so image is a little dated.

Glad I looked at this thread. The fact they're cheap and have what sound like reliable PoE hats... Tempted to replace a few old Pis lol. Maybe. But can at least say no future devices will be Pis at this point.

Note: only using them for simple things. Wireguard VPN (no I don't have a fast internet so I don't need more than the 1gb connection speed), pi hole, and a touch panel I installed that connects to home assistant on the wall.

I was super excited for this game until I heard about the free cam... Really hoping it's something that can be turned off. A core piece of the original horror was hearing something coming but not being able to see it.

This thread has provided genius ideas I somehow never thought of, and I'm totally stealing them for my sites lol.

Friends and I are in the upper 30s and 40s range so not young not old I guess lol. For the family side, I tend to look for all my closer relatives which range in all ages. While there were many many lines that matched our last names, the entries that were a match didn't have the right phone numbers or addresses (so couldn't really validate if they were us or others with the same name). Or it could always be that they were addresses so old that I don't have a record of them to compare to... Considering a large chunk of the data is apparently old, it's possible that could be a reason I didn't see everyone, too? I'll probably go back and dig a little deeper on the family side since I haven't deleted the data yet.

Fair enough, I should have left with the mention of mileage may vary. I checked for some more friends per request since my posting, and out of the 20-30 families I've now checked, only 1 was compromised... But they were also in a couple of previous ones too. But of course, this doesn't mean it's the same case for everyone else.
