The stick is better for movement, while the pads are better for aiming. And the buttons work fine where they are.

Arguably the left side pad is a bit useless for gaming itself, but its nice to have two pads for desktop navigation and using the on screen keyboard that is build into steam.

Yes, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_Controller

Steam controller obviously (for everything other than retro gaming which often requires a dpad).

You still don’t have a clue, but I am tired of trying to argue with obvious bad-faith Russian trolls like you.

Nothing specifically, just nice improvements cumulating over the years.

Installing Linux on most hardware became really easy maybe 5 years ago.

Gnome works quite well on a larger touch-screen. Edit: ah, Ubuntu should have that by default.

There is a special .iso archive for all past releases.

When you are actively charging the batteries off a solar panel for example, it will be even higher, up to 17V 14.5V or so I think. The automotive PicoPSUs only cost a little more and will smooth it out up to 24V I think… there are even some models that go up to 48V.

Edit: why the down-votes? Is this incorrect?

Some people want to be able to reach their server via SSH when they are not at home, but yes I agree in general that is not necessary when running a real home server.

Get a PicoPSU for automotive use (there are two varieties, one that needs stable 12v and another that can run directly off a battery with varying voltage).

Don’t leave SSH on port 22 open as there are a lot of crawlers for that, otherwise I really can’t say I share your experience, and I have been self-hosting for years.

This is nonsense. A small static website is not going to be hacked or DDOSd. You can run it off a cheap ARM single board computer on your desk, no problem at all.

No, it works the same in both directions.

I think the term often used is “NAT reflection”.

Power-line tends to be quite slow and error prone. If you have existing coax, that is likely the better option. You can get up to 2.5gbit adapters for it: https://til.simonwillison.net/networking/ethernet-over-coaxial-cable

Anything metal or wood will probably create too much dust etc.

Maybe get a 3D printer?

Systemd is very useful for managing (rootless) Podman containers.

Hmm, I think there are more people that are #1 and #2 the same time (not me though) and the bigger divide is between those that rent a VPS and those that run a homelab.

Usually* there is a database for the file meta-data that will benefit from faster access times of a SSD, the files themselves can be on a HDD.

*not sure how Immich specifically does it.
