Yes, NTFS indeed. That is the setup I am using right now as well, because the games drive already was NTFS. For steam this works nicely.

However, for other use cases I was creating symlinks to directories on another NtFS drive in my system, and this borked some files. So that is how I found the BTRFS option. Have not tried it myself though…

you could try using BTRFS, there is a driver for windows. NTFS support can be flakey from Linux and is in general not recommended. If you are using steam for your games library, there is a support article from valve that helps setup dual boot accessable game library. I have set that up in my dual boot system (windows 10 / Endeavour OS). It works, and also the steam sync feature works nice so game progress is shared across both OSses.

If you are just looking for a way to SSH into your machines from outside your network, you can setup a more recent VPN or Wireguard yourself. If you have a Raspberry Pi lying around, using PIVPN makes things super easy. You can have both OpenVPN as well as Wireguard running if you want, using the same script. If that is the only thing you like to do, then there is no need to reverse proxy your servers and expose them. Just having a VPN or Wireguard connection should be enough to access your servers when outside of your network. It is recommended to have a fixed IP btw, to find your VPN/Wireguard server easily.

Also, you can leave all your servers locally (and not exposing them) when you can reliably setup a VPN/Wireguard connection. That is the most secure I guess.

It is the final panel from issue 7, originally released in 1977 in the French language. It was translated and released as "On The False Earths" in English translation release in 2014.

you can automate a lot of the basc profile stuff in your dotfiles with some automation such as https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot to bootstrap a new install. it makes your new distro right at home, and if you combine this with github to store your dotfiles, you’ll also have a backup of your environment.

Does this affect ubuntu and raspberry os releases as well? Since these are based on debian?

I understand what you mean, however,there are at least 3 different kinds of distros that are complementary: LTS based distros, stable distros and rolling distros with cutting edge version releases. These have undeniably distinct use cases.

Not much gaming time, but i started Against the Storm which I liked.

Looks like a pretty straightforward install! And a fun project to have a personal message space with friends. It includes the ability to launch gameoso you could maybe set it up as a personal lobby for gaming buddies.

I think you would also need an initial run process such as systemd or the sysV runlevels.

Grest that the improvements will be upstreamed to the Wireguard source, so anyone can benefit from the improvements.

This also looks similar to Tailscale (https://tailscale.com/). I have not used this but saw it popping up in youtube recently.
