Wow, I'll definitely look into this, thanks! Even if I don't use it, it still may be useful just reading through it.

Honestly, I have both, but that's because redundancy is amazing. Generally, DIY is more involved and thus more fun, but if you just want boring set-it-and-forget-it data backups, a pre-built NAS is a better option.

Actually, exception rethrowing is a real thing - at least in Java. You may not always want to handle the exception at the absolute lowest level, so sometimes you will instead "bubble" the exception up the callstack. This in turn can help with centralizing exception handling, separation of concerns, and making your application more modular.

It seems counter-intuitive but it's actually legit, again at least in Java. lol

Yeah but see, that would require the Reddit CEO not being a giant fucking moron. Instead, well, we got what we got. lmao

I gotta admit, two of my friends who pre-ordered on a whim and ended selling theirs had perfect units, and I was looking forward to mine so much and would never sell it, I was the one to get a "faulty" unit I was pretty angry lol.

With that said, after I fixed the button, it's now been the perfect device for me. I heard the ROG Ally has similar stuck buttons but even worse than the Deck had so that would have made me way more angry lol

For me:

Positives:

• It runs Linux, I am a big Linux fan so this is a big plus for me because it helps advance Linux gaming.
• It has better emulation capability than almost anything else.
• It's more affordable than alternatives.
• It has great battery life vs power especially for emulation.
• It has enough power it can handle almost any game you can think of running at least at 30 FPS.
• It's pretty comfortable despite it's large size (that's what she said).

Negatives:

• Mine had a stuck B button despite them saying Q2 2022 units would have it fixed, I had to sand down the edge of the case where the button would get stuck, sliding the 240 grit sandpaper back and forth between the button and the case with.
• Mine has the noisy Delta fan, this isn't a huge problem honestly I don't even find it that noticable but it may bother some people to varying degrees.
• It's a bit bulky, but it's also understandable and the large screen is pretty nice.

It's my favourite gaming handheld device I have ever had. I'd absolutely recommend one.

i’ve decided against hosting lemmy at home because there’s no way to setup a proxy for outbound connections (or i couldn’t find it) so any federation request your lemmy instance makes reveals your home IP to owners of that particular instance.

Wait, how would that work? If I'm using OpenVPN, would it not be using the source and/or destination IP as my OpenVPN client IP, and not my home IP? After all, OpenVPN is completely bypassing my routing and NAT from my home connection, and it just tunnels traffic through the VPN instead.

I believe the source IP would be the IP of any server trying to contact my server, and then the destination IP would be my VPN client IP because of the DNAT rule I have on my VPN server (say 10.0.0.2) so it would not expose my home IP, or is that not correct? If both Lemmy and Nginx are either using a local docker IP (not on my home network) or the OpenVPN client IP from tun0, how would they even be aware of my home IP?

Are you saying I'd be exposing my IP if I tried my home-based VPN port forwarded setup? I am pretty sure it wouldn't be exposing my home IP, but maybe I am mistaken.

I'm planning on self-hosting an instance (and some other web apps) on my local server at home, but over a VPN on a public VPS. I feel like that's gonna make an overcomplicated setup even more overcomplicated lol

Yep, making federation decisions myself is why I want to spin up my own instance at some point, and I have spare computing resources as is already lol

I'm a PHP developer, I prefer PHP but I'm probably going to be going with Lemmy since it's more refined currently.

Seconding Horizon Zero Dawn, it's a great game.

Yes, the Fediverse is actually awesome. It's decentralized, there's so many open-source implementations, etc etc. The Fediverse is what Zuckerberg wishes the Metaverse could be.
