Honestly, that is what hurt the experience more than anything, not having the capacity to support an event that is meant to show off what your game can do and hopefully entice new players (assuming that’s what the free fly events are for) is just going to leave a bad impression on people just checking out the game. I tried several times over a span of 3-4 days to get some footing, but found myself just having to Alt+F4 in most cases.

If the servers actually worked, I could have looked up a video or 2, tried out a few free ships (assuming a new player can find the event which is an entirely different issue), etc. But all I’m left with is no desire to even buy a starter pack.

I heard good things about new patch so I gave the free fly a shot last week…

A decade of development and I couldn’t even complete a lot of the things I was trying to do, it was so laggy that it wasn’t even registering actions I was taking to progress the starter quest and the servers crashed 2 or 3 times just when I was trying to get off the starter planet making me repeat the “tutorial”. I feel like even if it was good, it’s a game that now you have to spend 10 hours on youtube trying to figure out all the in game systems and what you want to do

I think the real problem is guns got nerfed and at the same time, environmental hazards were introduced. I saw 3-4 reinforcements going to people hit by meteors. I think people will get used to it, but right now it’s kind of fun how it feels like early dives again, just utter chaos.

I keep hearing that, but I’ve not had luck with it as of yet. I need a few more dives to get the FT mechanics down, I think.

I started just with a 2 bay nas that I had a few VMs on… then it spiraled. Back with PIs were cheap it was fun to spin up new stuff all the time. Now an N100 mini-pc is way more cost effective long term, plus you get to start dipping into VMs, LXC, docker, etc.

Not to mention Home Assistant is an entire hobby in itself. 4 more aqara devices just came for me today.

I do feel like I should second the comment that it isn’t cheap, but you can do things in bits and pieces that don’t make it feel like you’re spending your life savings.

And this classic…

The zigbee bulbs I’ve had the best luck with are Innr, although they are kind of pricy. Ikea bulbs are good for the price, but every one I have, has very loud coil whine when off. I had some on bedside stands and had to move them to other rooms. Sengled are nice when they work, I’ve had issues with them dropping off my network.

Both Ikea and Innr are also repeaters, Sengled does not do repeaters in their bulbs. Neither Ikea or Innr are exactly cheap, but they’ve been the most solid for me.

How, how are you disabled?

Knife goes in, battery comes out

Now you’re talking

WD Red for data hoarding/NAS. People like Barracuda drives as well but I’ve had bad luck with Seagate reliability in the past.

Also, purples tend to cost more because they are rated for surveillance.

This was my first thought as well. This isn’t a replacement for portainer agents on mulitple docker hosts, hopefully that’s something that is doable in the future.

Piped is so slow for me, I’m not sure if it’s a me issue or a host issue. I finally spun up viewtube to test it out since running my own piped instance seemed cumbersome.

Ah, just forget the whole thing
