Especially since that’s a thing that almost every MMORPG does too.

Tiles are just BLE, they’re pretty dumb devices that basically just broadcast a BLE ID.

But there are dedicated standalone GPS trackers that use LTE/5G, the downside is you need a SIM card and data plan, and they are a lot bigger with shorter battery life.

Ah, yeah MX might not be the best choice of a distro for ease of use.

Yeah just copy the files to your games folder and run it from there, leave a copy for the torrent client.

Generally nay I think. There are a few I enjoy like Minecraft or Space Engineers.

But in general open world is just more annoying to deal with.

Just pick the webserver you want (nginx, caddy, etc…) and check the docs for Debian instructions since that’s what MX Linux is.

I think making it as easy and feature packed as the big commercial apps and services would go a long way.

Right now asking someone to switch to a more private service/app is not only the work of switching over, but also learning an often much more complex system.

Yup, I treat the ‘3’ as 3 copies of data, so the first copy is just my working system, and the other 2 are various backups.

Basically a backup is a point in time snapshot that you can restore from. So you’d run backups daily or multiple times per day and can easily get back deleted or changed files.

Whereas with a sync service if you delete that file or change it, the original is gone and you can’t get it back. Some will have versions and trash cans, which gives you some limited ability to restore.

Well one thing to point out is nextcloud and other sync programs are not backups, they’re sync software.

But syncthing would work fine for keeping changes in sync between systems.

That seems like a rather critical feature to have missing!

Well whatever the equivalent is lol, I didn’t see the last little line on the post.

apt autoremove will do it. Just double check what it’s removing for obvious problems.

Do you need nextcloud? Its resource heavy and slow on the best of days.

So if not you could run syncthing plus a web based file browser, and immich or similar for photos.

Always have backups! Doesnt matter what OS you use, stuff will break eventually.

I prefer bootable full system images to my NAS for easy restores, and online file backups, both running daily.

Just click skip? They just use it for traffic notifications on maps and stuff.

Just wanted to point out that if your client is configured properly it won’t have any connections while the VPN is down.

You don’t absolutely need port forwarding to seed. As long as the other side has a port open you’ll be able to upload to them.

Well more that when it does work you don’t know for sure which apps are fully backed up.

Go through each app and export its data, then transfer those files off the phone.
