Honestly I think the trick for valve there would just be to release a build of steam OS people can install themselves into desktops (if they don’t already) and just have folks building their own machine for TV pc use.

Either ignore like I do or add a self signed cert to trusted root and use that for your services. Will work fine unless you’re letting external folks access your self hosted stuff.

Well where the hell else are we supposed to store our Marxist filth?

If you’re running mostly Linux vms proxmix us really good. It’s based on kvm and has a really nice feature set.

It’ll last long as it’s useful to you barring any disasters. I’ve got a HP gen8 microserver that I’ve been running as a free/truenas box 8/9 years now and I’m only thinking of replacing it now as I need more performance than the CPU in it can give.

Might get drone stoked to protect American interests.

I find mine useful as both a learning process and as a thing need. I don’t like using cloud services where possible so I can set things up to replace having to rely on those such as next loud for storage, plex and some *arr servers for media etc. And I think once you put the hardware and power costs vs what I’d pay for all the subs (particularly cloud storage costs) it comes out cheaper at least with hardware I’m using.

This is why you get a letter of marque to give you legitimacy. I’ve been letioning my government for one endlessly so I can attack Russian shipping in the balkans.
