  • Well, as everything, it is safe is you do it right. If you are just starting, you could try running some services in LAN, or if you don’t have the hardware, a cheap VPS with VPN or some other tunneling. That way, you’re not exposing your data to the wider internet.

    Of course, you should keep backups of everything you deem important, and once you start feeling more comfortable, you may try opening up your services with a reverse proxy (caddy, nginx) and some authentication (authelia, authentik). You can try hosting simple things, things that expect to be open to the internet, like a game server.

    If you’re limited by your hardware, you can start planning to buy something bigger. But I don’t recommend it to just get started; you can do a lot of learning with basic hardware (and the prices are crazy right now too).

    Edit: seconded what ghost_laptop said, an e-mail server is kind of the hardest there is for self-hosting. There are solutions like mailcow, but even that is very hard to set up.





  • Games with tons of replayability, where I have already spent a ton of hours:
    Roguelikes:
    1 - Dwarf Fortress
    2 - Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead
    Resource/construction based:
    3 - Satisfactory (sorry, Factorio fans)
    4 - Valheim
    5 - Minecraft or Terraria
    RPGs with deep systems
    6 - Divinity: Original Sin 2 or Fallout: New Vegas + mods
    7 - Baldur’s Gate 3
    Classics that I want to play from time to time
    8 - Dark Souls: Prepare to Die edition
    9 - Bloodborne
    Some skill-based game that I’m never going to get amazing at, therefore infinite playtime:
    10 - Either some fighting game (Skullgirls?) or something like Crypt of the Necrodancer

    Not a perfect list, but I probably would have enough stuff to play until I die :P










  • Well, he thinks criminals are such because they’re evil or something. He thinks the only way to stop them is by creating a totalitarian state where he is God and everyone does his bidding lest they invoke his ire.

    The thin veil of “making the world a better place” was lifted super early in the series, when he started killing people that weren’t criminals, justifying it as “if they go against my plans they may as well be criminals”.

    He was never supposed to be a good guy. He’s an arrogant piece of shit, and that’s why he got caught.
