So, what did you do?

Just for drive redundancy it’s awesome. One drive fails you just pull it out, put in a new one and let the array rebuild. I guess the upside of hardware RAID is that some even allow you to swap a disk without powering down. Either way, you have minimal downtime.

I guess a better way would be to have multiple servers. Though with features like checksums in BTRFS I guess a RAID is still better because it can protect against bitrot. And with directly connected systems in a RAID it is generally easier to ensure consistency.

I’d stay away from hardware RAID controllers. If they fail you’re gonna have a hard time. Learned that the hard way. With a software RAID you can do what you proposed. Just put the disk in another system and use it there.

Port forwarding is what you’re looking for. You almost certainly can configure that in your router. You tell it what the port in the outside should be and to what IP and port in your LAN it should go.

Edit: Just saw your other comments. I’m a bit at a loss.

NPM won’t help you here. As you said, it’s only for http. You will have to set up port forwarding in your router. But as far as I recall Minecraft changes its port with every game. So you could either change that in your router every time you start another game.

But it would be better (for security as well) to set up a VPN. Many routers actually have that built in.

That is, if your goal is to have your Minecraft server reachable through the internet.

For DNS you will need a Dynamic DNS service to let the name always point to your public IP. For this as well many routers have built-in functionality. Maybe even a preferred service.

I’ve seen that on Linux as well. Funnily enough also with faulty file systems. I think NFS with spotty wifi for one.

Oh, and once with a dying RAID controller. That was a pain in the ass. At that point I swore to only ever do RAID in software.

You can easily make a program unkillable (or to be more precise untermable) on Linux. Here’s a simple bash script that will do that.

#!/bin/bash                                                                                                     function finish {
  while true
  do                                                              
    echo "Can't kill me."                                   
    sleep 10                                        
  done                                            
}                                                                                                               trap finish EXIT                                        
trap finish TERM                                        
trap finish INT                                                                                                 

while true                                              
do                                                              
  echo "Still alive."                                     
  sleep 10                                        
done

And as always with this meme: Both Windows and Linux can ask a process nicely to terminate or kill it outright. And the default for both is to ask nicely.

/tmp might be world writable but everything created in there belongs to the respective users.

Dang. Must be the reason why I stopped watching. Even just behind the scenes she was invaluable.

She came out about two years ago or so. Sadly no new videos with her moderating since then, as far as I know.

She goes by Emily now.

I think Valve would have gone ahead without DXVK as well. Either with Gallium Nine or Wine’s Direct3D implementation or so. With the Steam Machines they were already on the Linux train before DXVK.

In that case install Gentoo. Compiling everything from source is its thing. And on the way it will resolve all the dependencies for you. The dependencies you want.

I was glad my server did this the other day to make sure the data Lemmy put into my database is secure.

OpenSUSE is that you can use it was the game ia gone far right eithee.

Ugh, I’ve got to get rid of my typos from the autocomplete.

Looks like a SUSE/Debian hybrid.

Invasion.

Have you tried different browsers? You should also enter the full URL sometimes they’re a bit stupid nowadays. So http://192.168.x.x:1500/

Maybe the browsers bring their own VPN. Some process all traffic to make it more “mobile friendly”. Or they have some other kind of proxy.

A bash script would probably be easiest to write and pluck into cron.

Edit: Clone all repos you want into one directory and then loop with a script over all cloned dirs and issue git fetch. Done. If you want to add a repo you clone another.

That’s what original content gives you.
