I need some suggestions on what to play. Single Player games only. Most of the games make me feel lonely and alone. In most of the games, the protagonist has to deal with the problems on their own, like Control, Crysis, Ghost of Tsushima, God of War (I liked the original 6 more than the new ones, even though the new ones had companions), horror games like Outlast, Echo and Alan Wake, and many others.

I want something that won't give me anxiety. I really enjoyed Guardians of the Galaxy, having those teammates by my side always made me feel "safe". I also liked Spider-Man and Deadpool because the humour makes me feel comfortable. In old Harry Potter games, Ron, Hermione and Harry were usually together, so, I never felt alone while playing those either. In Indika, that one hand man was with me for most of the game.

Open world games also give me less anxiety, like most Assassin's Creed games, Ghost of Tsushima, Just Cause series, etc.

I think you all get my point. So, what do you suggest I should play?

I bought an Optiplex 5040, with an i5-6500TE, and 8 GB DDR3L RAM.

When I bought it, I installed Fedora Server on it. It got stuck every few days but I could never see the error. The services just stopped working, I couldn't ssh into it, and connecting it to a monitor showed a black screen.

So, I thought let's install Ubuntu Server, maybe Fedora isn't compatible with all of its hardware. The same thing is happening, now, but I can see this error. Even when there's nothing installed on it, no containers, nothing other than base packages, this happens.

I have updated the bios. I have tried setting nouveau.modeset=0 in the grub config file. I have tried disabling and enabling c-states. No luck till now.

Would really appreciate if anyone helps me with this.

UPDATE:

• I cleaned everything and reapplied the thermal paste. I did not see any change in the thermals. It never goes over 55°C even under full load.
• I reset the motherboard by removing that jumper thing.
• I ran memtest86, which took over 2½ hours. It did not show any errors.
• I ran a CPU stress test for over 15 hours, and nothing crashed.
• I also ran the Dell's diagnostic tool, available in the boot menu of the motherboard. The whole test took over 2 hours but did not show any errors. It tested the memory, CPU, fans, storage drives, etc.

My current setup is an old MacBook woth 2 external HDDs, and I am almost happy with it, for now. I just saw this mini PC on Amazon and I am considering buying it, just to try out a new thing. I think it is cheap (~22 USD).

What I am worried about is that this much memory and storage might make it almost unusable. I was thinking of hosting some minor services, like remark42, shynet or vaultwarden. What else do you think I can host? If my mind changes, I will also try it with a desktop environment and try to connect it to my 4K Android TV.

Here are some specs, if you don't want to visit the webpage:

Even after enabling JS, all I saw waa a white/blank page. They probably want me to enable cookies and/or DOM storage.

I am trying to set up a reverse proxy server, with TLS passthrough.

I am behind CGNAT, so I cannot forward any ports from my home server. So, my current workaround was that I connected my home server to a VPS via WireGuard and used Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) to proxy services running on different docker containers to the VPS, so that they are accessible publicly. But now I want to use TLS passthrough for better privacy. But I cannot find any guides for my case.

I need help with 2 issues, basically. Let's take a look at my passthrough.conf file, which I have included in nginx.conf file.

stream {
    # Listen for incoming TLS connections on service1.domain.me
    server {
        listen 443;
        proxy_pass service1.domain.me;
        proxy_ssl on;
        proxy_ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;
        proxy_ssl_name $ssl_preread_server_name;
    }

    # Listen for incoming TLS connections on service2.domain.me
#    server {
#        listen 443;
#        proxy_pass service2.domain.me;
#        proxy_ssl on;
#        proxy_ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;
#        proxy_ssl_name $ssl_preread_server_name;
#    }

    # Define the backend server for service1.domain.me
    upstream service1.domain.me {
        server homeserverIP:port;
    }

    # Define the backend server for service2.domain.me
#    upstream service2.domain.me {
#        server homeserverIP:port;
#    }
}

The services are running in docker containers on different ports. When I used two server blocks and two upstream blocks, I got this error while testing NGINX config: nginx: [emerg] duplicate "0.0.0.0:443" address and port pair in /etc/nginx/passthrough.conf:13. So, I commented out the other server block and tested it again. The test was successful, but NGINX failed to restart. When I checked the systemctl status I saw: nginx[2480644]: nginx: [emerg] bind() to 0.0.0.0:443 failed (98: Address already in use). This is because I am already hosting multiple WordPress sites on this VPS.

Here's my nginx.conf file:

user www-data;
worker_processes auto;
pid /run/nginx.pid;
include /etc/nginx/modules-enabled/*.conf;

events {
        worker_connections 768;
}

http {

        sendfile on;
        tcp_nopush on;
        types_hash_max_size 2048;

        include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
        default_type application/octet-stream;


        ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3; # Dropping SSLv3, ref: POODLE
        ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;

        access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
        error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;

        gzip on;

        gzip_vary on;
        gzip_proxied any;
        gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;

        include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
        include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;

        client_max_body_size 100M;
        server_tokens off;

}

#include /etc/nginx/passthrough.conf;

I do not know much about NGINX configuration, any help or article links would help.

Hi. I have been into self-hosting for about 2 years, now. My current setup is that I have a home server and a VPS. My ISP does not let me forward any ports (I am behind CGNAT, I think), so, I have connected my home server to a VPS via a WireGuard tunnel and am using Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) to proxy the services hosted on my homeserver to the public.

Now, the traffic that goes from my home server to the VPS and from VPS to the public are encrypted, but theoretically, the VPS provider can look at the data passing through, since this is technically TLS termination. Although, I trust my VPS provider more than I trust my ISP, I am thinking about setting up TLS passthrough, for additional privacy. But I have a few questions and I would be greatful if anyone can help me.

1. Do I need to put the SSL certificates on my homeserver, or can they remain on the VPS if I have to set up TLS Passthrough?
2. Is port forwarding required to set up TLS passthough?
3. Does NPM support TLS passthrough, or should I shift to HAProxy?

If there are any issues with my current setup, or the assumptions I am making, please guide me.
