Depending on the software you need and how technical you are, Wine and Bottles may be a solution to not need an VM.

Huh, never heard of it! from what I gathered from the website its a central VPN? Wouldn’t that be overkill for a homelab scenario? Thanks for your response!

Thank you for not only taking the time to answer but also adding quite useful resources. I will look into it!

This game is a treasure for those lines, gotta search my old screenshots 😁

That seems like quite a large endavour. And I’m always a fan of alternatives. One thing I do not fully understand is the, I do not want to selfhost so its federated. Somebody needs to host in the end, why can’t it be you?

To improve security of option 1 you could use a keyfile, that is either only transferred manually to devices or stored at a second cloud provider.

The two main reasons I decided to opt for a VPS was, that I don’t have a PC here that is efficient enough and the faster fresh installs and snapshots are a pro too.

Thanks this is quite helpful!

Since you seem to enjoy JRPGs I can’t recommend Persona 5 enough! Story is at times predictable, but the characters make it worth your time.

That’s just such a great image!

Its a set of software tools, that are often bundled together with the Linux-Kernel. Most Distros use them.

I loved those too!

I really liked the first one, so maybe I really should take a look. Thanks!

Maybe I am wrong, but I wouldn’t consider Doom as a tactical shooter. But thanks for the recommendation!

Sounds like Showly, that aggregates track.tv and IMDB. https://github.com/1RandomDev/showly-oss

Depends on the use case. For my own stuff I usually use LibreOffice, for docx compability I use OnlyOffice and for presentations I use Latex with TexStudio.

While I agree with LibreOffice as an option, no one should recommend OpenOffice anymore. Its just not well maintained.

How did you get Monica running? I’ve tried the docker scripts but had no luck with them.
