  • I never played the SH serie, not because it looks bad but because it looked way to scary to play back in the days.

    I have only heard good things about it, but I think I would profit more playing the remake, because graphics, sound design and technology changed way to much.

    I know all of the die hard fans are going to down vote… The power of nostalgia. But have you tried to replay the first tomb rider, first metal gear, first resident evil…? While they left some good memories from the past, replaying them today will just scatter your memories into some strange soup-feeling you wished you never touched !

    Either way, I’m happy I can finally give SH2 a shot :) I heard it was the best from the serie.




  • While I don’t know of a solution I totally get what you mean… A lot of cool projects don’t work anymore because of that…

    Something similar to the container technology, where everything is packed into an image with all it’s dependencies to the correct version. The app would probably be a security nightmare, but could still work in it’s own contained system.

    This sounds like a very neat technology that Linux is missing !






  • This must be very specific and probably heavly bloated with unecessary stuff? (With probably alot of telemetry and other strange things…)

    I have never encountered any breaking of styling/css, except with some specific addons (no-script, heavy dns blocking, ublock in hard mode…)

    Not that I doub your claims, but if you have any example on hand I would be very open to give it a try and maybe learn something new in the web realm.



  • Yep, Debian for sure ! 3 years ago I settled for debian on an old spare laptop, It’s still cruisen with more than 21 containers !! Sure I had a few fresh installs because skill issues, lack of proper configuration, user mistakes… But it’s probably the easiest to maintain and learn as a beginner !

    No idea what’s your level and how close you’re with computers and how much time you have to spare, but don’t be afraid to make mistakes and try a few things out.

    If you are like me just a plain old geek who knew his way arround computers and used Hamachi back in the days, thinking you were a HAKKER… Get ready to get your ass kicked !

    While self-hosting and de-googling is fun, it also has alot of negative things:

    • Time consuming
    • Involves ALOT of Searxing/Reading
    • Debuggin (kinda…)
    • Learning the basics of at least 1 scripting language (consider bash your ally)
    • It’s an infinite rabbit hole that will suck you in and sometimes get to your nerves…

    One of the best advice I could give you along the way is, If you’re stuck on a bug or something isn’t working as expected in your setup and It seems you couldn’t find any answer or similar issues on the web, you absolutly have to take a break, not a 5min cigarette break… A few hours bicycle/sleep break !!!

    The next day you will for sure find a solution !!

    Good luck, have fun and don’t forget to take time for yourself and people arround you !
