You didn't mention what platform but all of the Sniper Elite games are on Gamepass including the literally just released Resistance.

Just to add to the info so far: while you're spending the effort doing a migration it's worth going the extra few steps and moving to their Docker image. It'll make any future server moves a doddle, not to mention updates etc.

Isn't that exactly why so many of these company and app names have missing vowels? Because they can't trademark a word but they can trademark a collection of letters that sounds like a word when spoken aloud. It's really dumb.

I like the idea of open worlds much more than I like the reality. With a full time job, kids, and a completionist mindset I just don't have the time or mental stamina to spend 100+ hours doing side quests and revealing every inch of the map. Not to mention reading all of that dialog and lore.

Give me a corridor with a tight, focused story over a sprawling open world any day of the week. Coincidentally Bioshock was awesome.

Third Plex. It's a bit baffling as to why it's got such a bad rep recently because it performs its core function of serving media incredibly well, is super easy (barely an inconvenience) to setup, and there's apps for every conceivable platform.

Yes there's a few features locked behind a subscription (though they still sell lifetime passes, often at good discounts) and they're trying to "legitimize" with their ad-backed streaming thing, but the core product of local media server is still very much there, and free, and isn't going anywhere.

Webtop. Lightweight Linux VMs but in Docker.

This shit winds me up so much. It used to be that a game would be full price for 6-12 months before moving onto a budget label at a vastly rexuced price.

Nowadays games are full price forever, except for the few days a year when they go on "sale" and get reduced to what they should've been all along. During which time the publishers get to act like they're being altruistic and doing us a massive favour.

That's... A lot of storage. I'd say your options are, in no particular order:

  • buy a 12 bay NAS.
  • expansion unit. Do it as a separate volume and shuffle cold data onto there.
  • upgrade the drives.

Failing that you could just have a bit of a purge? If not straight deleting stuff, move things onto an external drive.

You could also try deduping. There's a script that'll add any drive to the internal "supported" list and also enable dedupe on mechanical drives. The savings were minimal on mine but you might have more luck. https://github.com/007revad/Synology_enable_Deduplication

I can't use these things together.

Oh no.

Two.

Is down.

  1. Sure but there's no reason to openly advertise that yours has open services behind it.
  2. Absolutely. There are countries that I'm never going to travel there so why would I need to allow access to my stuff from there? If you think it's nonsense then don't use it, but you do you and I'll do me.
  3. See point 3.

We all need to decide for ourselves what we're comfortable with and what we're not and then implement appropriate measures to suit. I'm not sure why you're arguing with me over how I setup my own services for my own use.

Yes and no? It's not quite as black and white as that though. Yes, they can technically decrypt anything that's been encrypted with a cert that they've issued. But they can't see through any additional encryption layers applied to that traffic (eg. encrypted password vault blobs) or see any traffic on your LAN that's not specifically passing through the tunnel to or from the outside.

Cloudflare is a massive CDN provider, trusted to do exactly this sort of thing with the private data of equally massive companies, and they're compliant with GDPR and other such regulations. Ultimately, the likelihood that they give the slightest jot about what passes through your tunnel as an individual user is minute, but whether you're comfortable with them handling your data is something only you can decide.

There's a decent question and answer about the same thing here: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/what-data-does-cloudflare-actually-see/28660
