My suggestion is to migrate the server to the Java edition and use one of the projects that support plugins like paper or purpur.

After that install geysermc, floodgate, viaversion, and viabackwards plugins.

https://geysermc.org/download https://github.com/ViaVersion/ViaVersion https://github.com/ViaVersion/ViaBackwards

This lets people connect to the Java server from bedrock clients and it gives some flexibility in the specific version used to connect to the server.

This way you can use whatever official or questionable version of the Minecraft server client.

Migrating the world might require a special tool like chunker.

Once your on the Java edition client all kinds of options open up for you in terms of plugins and options should you wish.

The geysermc plugin supports extensions as well one I recommend is:

https://github.com/MCXboxBroadcast/Broadcaster

This one let’s you add an Xbox friend that you can join from most bedrock clients super easily.

If you go with your option A, you could virtualize the windows install and run it inside of the truenas or other os using qemu.

You would still need to have enough drives for a new array, but that was always going to be the situation

I’m ready for tf2 on a pdf file

It’s just from my phone. I have all the notifications off from the original app

I better invest in Coleman and the North face, I hear they are due for a boon soon

Or if you prefer docker

Proxmox backup server is my jam, great first party deduplicated incremental backups. You can also spin up more than 1 and sync between them

I feel like Matrix ( https://matrix.org/ ) more appropriately mirrors the Lemmy ideology in that it’s a distributed federated chat platform where users can use one of multiple server options and client options.

Once in a while discord signs me out and I have to do a bunch of extra sign-in steps on the official client. But otherwise I have discord, WhatsApp, Google voice, Google chat, Google messages (sms), Facebook, telegram, signal.

All the mautrix bridges are will made and robust

I honestly always thought it was CanaDiaN

There will also be a Steam Deck 2: Episode 1 and Steam Deck 2: Episode 2

So, one thing that’s not clear here. Is the server and your desktop both at the same location? If they are I see no reason why you couldn’t just leave all the files on the server, have an NFS or Samba share then just stop it on the server and start it (over the network share) on your desktop. It would be functionally seamless, would require no effort to keep the files in sync, and would ensure your running things in the box you want.

That makes sense the post is from 2002 and the link was good for 2-3 years after since it would be 20 years before today.

Ha indeed, every room in the house is getting 2 faceplates (on roughly opposite sides of the room) with 4 Ethernet that runs each back to the server rack. Is every room having 8 runs right back to the switch excessive, you bet.

In my old place I had one faceplate with 2 ethernet, coax and phone to each room, but phone and coax is useless and I didn’t have enough Ethernet.

Top to Bottom:

• 48port Patch panel
• Cisco 2990 48 port Poe
• 48port Patch panel (future)
• Cisco 2990 48 port Poe (future)
• 24 port patch panel (spare)
• Pfsense 2.5gb eth minipc
• 4u server 20 bay (proxmox)

Bottom area:

• 2 mini pcs (proxmox)
• PiKVM and ezcoo switch connected to all PCs
• Couple of UPS

The access to the crawlspace isn’t great so the CrapRack ^tm had to be assembled in the crawlspace.

I am expecting the fediverse. Any day now it’s coming

Just checked

This was also my takeaway, it seems so obvious all of the sudden

To be fair the post was 2 days old when you posted

At least we did get another half life game (Alyx), I greatly enjoyed the first 4 core games (1, 2, ep1, ep2) and felt that Alyx fit nicely into the bunch though it was interesting that they ended it in such a way that it opens up more options for any future games.

As an aside while I know the market is definitely smaller for VR releases, if the next half life was a VR release again I would love that, i found the experience for Alyx to be stellar
