I do. It takes about 1 hour every 3 months. It’s pretty easy, actually

GoG checking in with no arbitrary server requirements! Why reward companies for treating you badly?

When companies treat me like a sucker, I move on to companies that don’t.

Reminder: Dont blindly trust random internet sources!

Correct! I get confused sometimes! :)

RTMP cameras with Motion: https://motion-project.github.io/

I use https://tt-rss.org/ The devs are kinda jerks, but the app works decently if you can self-host. Theres also a couple of phone-apps that work fairly well.

I used a Steam Deck dock with an HDMI out. Worked just fine!

I used my SteamDeck as a media center for a while, and it worked pretty well. I never had any battery issues. It did have a little bit of trouble on super high-quality videos, but it worked well enough for the rest

I use Webcalendar - https://www.k5n.us/webcalendar/

Its been a while since I’ve looked at the alternatives, but this has served me well for >7 years

I have Dovecot and Postfix running on Debian on a server in my closet. Works great for my needs
