  • I absolutely loved 2. I beat 2 before I beat 1, but went back and beat 1, and beat 2 multiple more times.

    I can’t say I have an order, but I love:

    • Kingdom Hearts 2
    • Kingdom Hearts 3
    • Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep

    Those are my favorite from the series as whole.

    I really couldn’t ever get into Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories or Re:Chain of Memories.

    Back in the day, I bought Birth by Sleep and beat it, but wanted more; so there was an English Patch of the final mix for PSP available and beat that too. And when the collection came out on PS4 (Before the PC release) I went and bought a PS4 Pro just for KH collection. Which now I am going back and beating all of them again but on Proud.









  • Glad to hear another success story of someone who dropped Windows.

    I dropped Windows on all of my machines over a month ago. My 2 desktops and 1 laptop I own are on Arch. I can’t fully escape Windows completely due to music production software I use due to lack of support for the hardware on Linux. (Thanks Line6…) So I run a Windows VM in QEMU with USB passthrough, but with no network access.

    I wrote an alias to count days its been since I switched to Linux full time.

    It wasn’t a difficult switch for me. Even with the learning curve. I actually enjoy the tinkering and learning aspect.





  • I wasn’t meaning to conflate the two, as I see your point. I didn’t claim it was FOSS, just that the source was available.

    I know for me, I don’t mind using software that is licensed so that it doesn’t directly fall under FOSS. I just like the availability to view the source vs closed source software being a total black box.

    I have no plans to monetize their work, nor fork it, only use it.



  • I know I don’t want to open up any more ports than I have to, but you’re right, that does sound like another alternative to setting up VPN.

    Since I access more than just my pihole when connected to my home network. And because I want access to my home services, and don’t want to open up access to the public, opening one port and connecting to VPN is the way to do it. I have one port opened up for my VPN, and in order to connect you have to have my IP or my domain pointed at the IP, and you have to have a Wireguard profile setup, and know what port is open. So that does help a tad bit with my security concerns.

    Edit: how would I go about that if I felt so inclined? Any tips?



  • I want to self host more, but power draw is a concern.

    So I have gone the route of running to Pi 4 8gb models as my hosts of choice.

    So far I am hosting:

    Non-Docker:

    • PiHole
    • Unbound
    • Wireguard (and Wireguard-UI)

    Docker:

    • ForgeJo
    • Dozzle
    • Homarr
    • LinkWarden
    • Traefik
    • Watchtower

    There are a few other services I want to get up, but I haven’t gotten around to it:

    • Jellyfin
    • Immich
    • Nextcloud

    As to why:

    • ForgeJo to host my own git repositories (Docker Compose files, Chezmoi dot files, Miscellaneous configs)
    • PiHole for ad blocking
    • Unbound, well, having my own DNS
    • Wireguard so I can connect to my home network
    • Dozzle for easy log checking for my docker containers
    • Linkwaren so I can backup bookmarks in a privacy friendly way
    • Homarr for easy access to other web services I host
    • Traefik so I can resolve IP:port to a hostname with SSL certificates even though everything I host is internal only
    • Watchtower to update my Docker containers
