And I don’t think you understand OPs point. Of course you should be paranoid as a person like that, but most users aren’t targets. If you, as a regular user, get this paranoid about using computers, maybe you should evaluate your priorities.

Because it’s easy and free, GitHub has great static page hosting

I use backblaze as a target with duplicacy, pretty cheap and allows free downloads of up to 3x your data per month. I use about 500gb there.

3-2-1 means 3 copies total on 2 different media with 1 copy off-site. An easy way to implement would be make a local copy outside of your NAS/RAID(different NAS or external HDD) and create a copy of that somewhere in the cloud or hosting(backblaze for example)

You should probably not look at your whole storage when thinking about Backup, but create different logical pools. For example I have 3 pools: media files, personal files&photos, app config files for my docker.

I don’t backup the media files because I can reacquire them, I have a very strict backup policy for my personal files and a more relaxed policy for my config files.

I use duplicacy to manage a local copy and a cloud copy and do restore tests sometimes. Duplicacy can also manage retention of its snapshots so I can keep years old versions of my personal files but only a few weeks worth of config

Sounds more like a software issue tbh. Would not get worried if it doesn’t happen regularly. Keep updated and maybe recover/reinstall first if it happens again before opening a ticket for hardware support. https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/1B71-EDF2-EB6D-2BB3

I’ve had some rare wonkiness aswell, it’s still a consumer Linux device and not a fully locked down console like Xbox or PS

Nobara is great, based on fedora so very stable and fairly up to date with many built in gaming features and no after install setup required to get gaming. https://nobaraproject.org/

Running it for over a year now on my gaming rig and very happy

So do you just want to complain about skyrim? The game runs fine on my and many others deck and runs great on good hardware. I have a 6700xt + 5800x3d on my desktop and it runs great without any issues (GE Proton 8.3) as it does for many others aswell. The game is fine, if it does not run on adequate hardware under linux you might have to troubleshoot on your end.

Doesn’t matter, you are still effected by this issue since any images from communities you or anyone else on your instance follows get cached on your server, doesn’t matter if you actually looked at them or not. I would advise you to look into this if you are the instance admin and didn’t know this by now.

I guess? Maybe running out of VRAM and using RAM, that’s generally a huge issue.

Skyrim runs absolutely fine on the deck, you might have an issue with your Setup.

Yes, sometimes it might help to have multiple providers on different backbones if you run into availability issues.

There are currently no legal cases in Germany against Usenet like with copyrighted material and torrenting, that’s mostly because you don’t distribute with Usenet.

scenenzbs is great, also has many files with English+German audio, marked as DL or dual language.

Depending on power prices in your country I would take that into strong consideration, while some server or desktop grade hardware might be technically very good, they often have high idle power consumption without offering greater functionality.
