that’s literally the feature of Plex…

what you’re looking for is a multi-tenant game server. only two ways to get that, virtualization or containerization.

you’ll need a really really beefy server for it either way if you want more than 2 people playing simultaneously.

since steam works on Linux you might have some luck with steamos on docker.

you can run multiple instances people connect to and stream all from the same “library”. this means you could technically be able to have halo running across two instances from the same executables. though YMMV since steam may be signing those exes per account.

alternative is to use something like unraid which has recipes for this exact problem. they use a combination of virtual boxes that use GPU passthrus. probably a larger overhead since it’s a full windows VM running, but you can run pretty much everything on steam in it.

from my own experience, apt dist-upgrade removes old kernels, apt upgrade still installed the new kernel, grub updated and booted into the new kernel.

all dist-upgrade did (for me) was delete the old kernels. which is something I would prefer not to do because it removes any ability to rollback should I absolutely need to.

one year my local uni got rid of a whole lab of G5’s. this was just about two years after they bought them.

container management is just the tip of selfhosting with docker.

learning the CLI will go a long way to help themselves later when they need to learn it to fix something the UI doesn’t handle well.

Be nicer.

would you have preferred noob?

docker runs native on Linux. you run docker desktop on windows and Mac because they don’t have Linux runtimes that can run docker.

docker desktop would be useless for Linux.

learn the command line scrub. better now than never.

that sounds like poor garbage collection in an application.

I’ve written software that had similar issues when writing to files and I failed to “close” the file after writing.

processes stay open, files stay open. 500 byte processes times 10000 orphaned process can make for a bad time.

rule of thumb. any backup you don’t regularly test isn’t a backup.

if you have anything publicly exposed and you’re not using a siem solution you’re gonna have a bad time.

IMO vlans are the nuclear option to network separation.

try setting up some proper firewall rules first. if that doesn’t solve your issue then start going down the vlan route.

some BIOS has auto start up times, so if you’re not using it all the time you could just shut it down and it will turn on everyday at the same time.

make sure you set your containers to start automatically.

is that last one Gary Glitter?

I have thought about doing this with gitlab. honestly, I was just going to stand up a free instance on AWS and have my local repos sync to the public one.

no problems then.

ssh

🤔 yeah, that and I guess docker?

budget? kiln-dried spruce 2x4 and vertical rack rails. they come in multiple lengths.

I built mine like this along with some 400pound rated castors, and some 1/8in MDF sheets to cover it.

I love it tbh. I’ve got all my network infra in its own cabinet inside that has its own cooling vents separate from the servers, that also have their own cooling, that are separate from power dist/batteries that have their own cooling.

been running fine for almost 9 years now.

the sides are paneled so it’s really easy to take one off and do any cable mgmt too.

is there something wrong with watchtower I missed?

can second this.

I use Mango manga reader and have been personally maintaining it for the last two years.

the recent crackdown on manga sites has made it difficult to continue maintaining it though…

I’m a little puzzled why a lot of creators don’t do this

my guess is that when you become “YouTube famous” you get perks and increased volume pay. this comes with a new contract that has binding resolutions, blocking you from uploading your content to other platforms.
