Yes, really haha. I don’t think I would consider the mod list I used heavy, at least not graphically. I didn’t use any of those programs you mentioned.

Trying to get MO2 to launch the Linux version of Skyrim running via Steam/Proton and not the Windows version of Steam running through WINE was a fun mess to deal with

I recall using some sort of script that installed MO2 and handled all of this (at least for the Steam Deck).

Either way, I hope their new cross-platform launcher works out well.

What games are you using it for? I’ve used Mod Organizer 2 for Skyrim SE and it’s worked great on the deck

I think a lot of people just haven’t heard of Caddy. Since I’ve found it I haven’t used anything else.

I’ve been using Sonnet 3.5 a lot recently. Does seem like it’s better and more creative than others for a lot of tasks. I also think it’s training set is up to April 2024 which is nice.

I’ve also found that GPT-4o is worse than GPT-4 in my experience. Seems to hallucinate more

Thank you.

And created the firewall rules to forward (some) incoming traffic to my home server.

I guess this is the missing piece for me. I’ve already got all of my devices and VPSes setup with Tailscale, I’m just not sure which software to use that can do this forwarding.

I know Tailscale Funnels, Cloudflare Tunnels, and Caddy could be solutions for some, but in my experience they only do TCP or restrict what sort of traffic can be forwarded.

Thanks. This solution looks like it might work, too.

I’m looking to maybe replace my VPS with something like Hoppy and a Raspberry Pi (I imagine the Pi 5 8GB might be stronger than anything I can get for $8/m). I have a static public IP anyway, but I’d rather not host websites and stuff using that.

Data Analysis is nice for converting files and cropping images I’ve found.

I think it depends on what kind of services they are using as I think Funnel is designed for HTTPS traffic, no UDP or custom ports.

If you’re the only one connecting to the server, I would recommend something like Tailscale. Everything will be encrypted and you won’t need to forward any ports to the public internet.

If other people need to access it, an option might be https://hoppy.network. I haven’t tried it myself, but it looks like it would be pretty slick if it works well.

I don’t recommend Oracle at all if you value your sanity. Paying a couple bucks a month for DigitalOcean or Vultr (or probably almost anything else) is so worth it compared to dealing with that monstrosity

Also, I’ve experienced this, and I’ve heard reports of others having the same issue; Oracle might just randomly delete/disable your VPS

This is just great! Tailscale is doing ALL the right things it seems. So happy to try this out

I think it was OpenWRT

Nano (or pico). I had to use vi one time 😭

Like the other commenter mentioned, ChatGPT can be really helpful for these kind of questions. I’m not sure if there’s any “starter guide” since everyone starts with different wants and needs.

I will say, you should look into Tailscale once you’ve got your services up and running on your home network. Tailscale makes it simple and secure to access those services from outside your home network without any port forwarding.

https://njal.la is good in my experience

I’m loving it but I can’t get it to work 😂

I’ve been using MouseCape on macOS for years and it’s worked flawlessly

Tailscale is great but I find it non trivial to run in conjunction with another VPN (Mullvad). Anyone have experience with this? Seems I can have only one or the other for iOS or macOS

At that point? I’d just pirate. Streaming services are for convenience. Going to the library for a physical piece of media isn’t very convenient for me
