  • If this is all happening wirelessly, that could be your problem. Looks like you have a 4g modem with a built in router. Is anything in the aar stack connected to the router through Ethernet, or is everything using WiFi? Try hooking the laptop up to one of the lan ports on the back of your router, see if that helps things.

    Could also just be all the aar apps doing their thing for the first time, pulling from databases, downloading cover art, etc. once your library is all set up, they should calm down. Only way to really check this is to log into your router and see who the loudest talker is.







  • Hopping in here to mention Proxmox Helper Scripts . They have many scripts that help you set up LXCs with software you may be using, including the full aar stack.

    I tend to test things in a dedicated new VM, to get a feel for it, make sure I need to add it to my permanent services. If it does, I try to find a way to run it via LXC, and if that is too complicated/won’t work, I have a dedicated docker VM I throw it on. Everyone will answer the “LXC/VM/Docker” question differently, and they will all be correct. What is easiest for you is the right way.

    I run a VM with opnsense as my network firewall. Moved it from a hardware install. I don’t see any issues, and there are loads of times it’s saved my ass having it backed up as a VM.

    Slam as much ram as you can afford/fit inside the computer too. Every time I think I have enough, I always find I have need/use for more.



  • I’m not quite sure they have “done nothing”. They have made a digital storefront that other storefronts strive for, they have help with Linux compatibility with windows only games, have released a few bits of awesome hardware every now and then. I think this is what happens when you are not beholden to shareholders and the mantra “make line go up at all costs”




  • I believe you are using the wrong terminology. A hypervisor is a software suite that helps manage virtual machines. You are just looking for easy ways to spin up fediverse software. Docker with docker compose is all you need, and if you need a gui for it, dockge or portainer will be usable. Having at least a little bit of networking and container knowledge is necessary as well, as there is nothing out there yet that is “one click” for running those things. I started with Lemmy, as there is Lemmy-easy-deploy that does a lot of the heavy lifting for you.

    You have to read the news in game. There is an evolving story line about the thargoids invading known space. There are new colonies that are being formed hundreds of light years from known space that need protection and supplies. There are communities like the fuel rats that are constantly coming to the rescue of stranded explorers. It’s a really big, open, beautiful galaxy that has a lot going on. It’s a shame it always gets overlooked because you have to search the story out instead of it being served to you on a platter by npc and cutscenes. Don’t get me wrong, I looooove a good story driven game. Elite is probably, in my little opinion, the best execution of a true open world game. You just have to really search for the story, and I can see how that could be a barrier for entry for a lot of people.

    Throwing Elite Dangerous in there as well. The learning curve is steep, and story is not driven by anything but you. But oh my god does it satisfy that “fuuuuck space is so big” feeling. The one thing that was fun in Starfield was the gunplay, which is the only thing missing in vanilla Elite, but they have an expansion that adds that. I haven’t played Odyssey, but supposedly it has gotten much better over the years.
