I like having the conversation organized around topics instead of people

Because they want to have you as a marketing contact for their sales people to cold call until the end of time after you don't buy it. It also let's them do variable pricing based on how much they think you'll pay.

This is the weirdest complaint until you realize OP is from yiffit.net

Yes you are making an unreasonable complaint. You're complaining that the story doesn't include one particular niche element of interest to you and comparing it to having shit thrown in your face.

Making all the weapons overpowered to match ruins the intended difficulty.

Openstack is like self-hosting your own cloud provider. My 2 cents is that it's probably way overkill for personal use. You'd probably be interested in it if you had a lot of physical servers you wanted to present as a single pooled resource for utilization.

How does one install it?

From what I heard from a former coworker - with great difficulty.

What is the difference between a hypervisor/openstack/a container service (podman,docker)?

A hypervisor runs virtual machines. A container service runs containers which are like virtual machines that share the host's kernel (more to it than that but that's the simplest explanation). Openstack is a large ecosystem of pieces of software that runs the aforementioned components and coordinates it between a horizontally scaling number of physical servers. Here's a chart showing all the potential components: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a5/Openstack-map-v20221001.jpg

If you're asking what the difference between a container service and a hypervisor are then I'd really recommend against pursuing this until you get more experience.

One. Use a switch for networking.

10mb is pretty much nothing. May as well just use Fail2Ban.

Software engineers have ethics classes

We do?

This is bad but the Fediverse is going to be just as, or even more, vulnerable to this kind of thing.

You're making it that much easier for someone to brute force logging in or to exploit a known vulnerability. If you have a separate root password (which you should) an attacker needs to get through two passwords to do anything privileged.

This has been considered an accepted best practice for 20+ years and there's little reason not to do it anyways. You shouldn't be running things as root directly regardless.

Typically there's a period of responsible disclosure to give the software maintainer an opportunity to fix it before it's widely announced. After that period is up or the fix has been released the vulnerability discoverer is able to announce it and take credit for finding it.

They can't all be like the attorney general.

If you don't trust your VPS host then you shouldn't use them. They have physical access to the hardware so it's impossible to prevent them from accessing your stuff if they really wanted to (realistically they probably don't want to).

I was wondering if an encrypted volume would make no difference for protecting any data uploaded there.

This is known as "encryption at rest" (as opposed to "encryption in transit"). In order for an application to use the content then it has to be decrypted using the private key (decryption key). Where are you storing the private key? If it's on the VPS they have access to it. If you transmit it to the VPS at runtime they can access it via network monitoring. If you kept the private key only on your end-user devices (phone, desktp computer, etc) and then decrypted the content locally, then encrypted it before it was uploaded to the VPS then the provider would have no way of accessing that.

I’m not sure how is my data protected inside a VPS.

Ask your provider. The larger ones have a lot of security certifications and periodic audits showing that they're in compliance with best practices for securing the clients' data, including from their own employees. If what you find isn't satisfactory then pick another provider.

Am I being too paranoid? Or should I be investing in a small physical server?

IMO yes but you need to determine how sensitive the data you're storing actually is. Chances are that no one really cares about your personal photos or private git stuff. If you want to store the passwords for all of your email accounts and banking then I'd be more concerned - though I think that's still fine to store on a VPS if you trust the provider.

You can only do 100M runs max anyways, just replace the whole thing? 100M of CAT6 is pretty cheap if you already have a box for it.

Or is this an academic question?

Prison Architect predates Rimworld. Rimworld got shit for "copying" PA when it first came out.

See the FAQ for the Rimworld Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tynansylvester/rimworld/description

It looks a lot like Prison Architect. What's up with that?

Blame my (Tynan's) lack of art skill - especially with characters. I made the character art you see in the trailer as a stopgap, and borrowed the Prison Architect style because I'm not a good enough artist to develop a new one. They were never intended to be final. With this Kickstarter, we'll be able to get a real artist who can sit down and develop an original style for RimWorld.

I've talked with the original Prison Architect artist, Ryan Sumo, and he's fully supportive of RimWorld. We didn't share any art or code with the PA guys.

Way, way, way overkill even if it could work. Try doing a search for 'roaming profiles linux' and you should find some solutions that are a better fit.

Well, that explains it. Hopefully it's fixed soon, thanks!

A lot of this is being complicated for you by not understanding networking fundamentals. I'd suggest looking into a Network+ certification which will cover all of these basics like DNS. You don't have to actually get the cert, just going through the motions on learning the material should help a lot.

You seem to be close on grokking the whole picture and just need some of the basics that are hard to pick up from just doing things at home. A lot of work has been done to try abstract that away from consumers in order to make things easier which is making it harder for you.

Interested to see how this does after all the drama between the Alexis Kennedy and Failbetter.

Ikey being involved again doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. Josh has been very reliable though.

Drama aside, Solus' target userbase has always been exactly what you're describing.

What's the cost and impact of downtime for you? If you're doing this for personal use it's probably minimal for both so doesn't really matter. If you want to try the new thing and you're not afraid of the time investment or potential downtime then go for it

Fair enough. Personally I'd start with their documentation then: https://docs.openstack.org/install-guide/

For OS it looks like they support RHEL/CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, and SUSE so I'd stick with one of those.

Tried it when they had a free weekend shortly before release. They added these awful segments where you drive a stage coach like it's Skiifree between locations. The rest of it seemed pretty good and the art style looks great.

I smoke a cigar once every year or so and this sounds about right to me.

No. They've publicly said they came up with the stupid joke first, then applied it to Kanye later because he seemed like a guy that wouldn't get the joke (and were later shown to be right).

I believe the term you want is "digital signage". Be prepared that they can cost twice as much as a regular "smart" TV.

You're conflating 'country' and 'people' then. The 'country' that gave up the land had this flag: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/ae/Flag_of_the_United_Kingdom.svg/2560px-Flag_of_the_United_Kingdom.svg.png

Neither because it makes it hard to copy paste. If you have to pick one then $ because # is for comments in bash.

When you start talking about offline then you're going to run into consistency issues and conflicts. How will a system automatically determine which edit to a file is correct if they were both edited offline?

I'm fairly certain Ceph is also going to be online only. You won't be accessing your CephFS filesystems when you take your laptop offline since they're part of the object store.

Something like Syncthing (as @Max_P@lemmy.max-p.me suggested) or some other 'Dropbox-like' self-hosted solution might be the way to go for what you're doing. Even then you'll probably only want to replicate a subset of your home directory - for example I'd skip temp and cache files that a lot of programs create.

If you want to play with Ceph just for the sake of doing so then don't let me stop you though :)

Are you referring to the British Empire (who was a victor of WW2) or the Ottoman Empire (who no longer existed)?

"Acca Dacca" killed me lol

He was forced out (maybe?) of the company he was a key member of. He and his former company have thrown a LOT of mud at each other since then, mostly about claims of Alexis being an abusive jackass or sexual harasser, while he claims the reverse and that they're running hit pieces on him. There's been so much back and forth that it's hard to make heads or tails of any of it. And none of it turned into a legal matter so never progressed past "he said she said".
