  • 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.

  • I had the 64GB model, and I upgraded it to a 1TB SSD.

    It is miles better; mostly because some things don’t get installed in the microSD card (shader cache, proton versions…), so I barely had any space left in the internal storage, even though I had 512GB on the SD card.

    I didn’t clone the previous install, I just did a new install from scratch, but it was painless and very fast with a USB-C pendrive by following the official instructions. I had to redownload some games but it wasn’t an issue with gigabit internet.

    The performance is similar for most games if you have a quality SD card, but if a game does heavy loading you may notice a difference.

  • I mean… If it was online at some point, it’s probably still out there for anyone that goes looking.

    For example, Bloodborne PSX is still available at the Internet Archive; and Bloodborne Kart became Legally Distinct Nightmare Kart and is available on Steam.

  • When you turn clockwise, you move down when you’re on the right side.

    To scroll down, you move the slider on the right side downwards.

    Idk, it’s intuitive for me, but I guess that it’s like inverted controls on videogames. What’s comfortable for you depends on how your brain works.

    I think of it as a (the world’s ugliest) cogwheel.

  • Copyparty is very cool, but it also confuses me a bit. It keeps giving me 403 forbidden errors when I try to rename or move files on certain folders.

    I’m pretty sure it’s a permission problem, because the root folder is read only but the folders inside have permissions per user, but I never figured it out.

    I still use it daily, 5/7 perfect software.
