These devices have been recommended in the past, and it looks like they can run OpenWRT
Bash and a dedicated user should work with very little effort. Basically, create a user on your VM (maybe called git), set up passwordless (and keyless) ssh for this user but force the command to be the git-shell. Next a simple bash script which iterates directories in this user’s home directory and runs git fetch —all. Set cron to run this script periodically (every hour?). To add a new repository, just ssh as your regular user and su to the git user, then clone the new repository into the home directory. To change the upstream, do the same but simply update the remote.
This could probably be packaged as a dockerfile pretty easily, if you don’t mind either needing to specify the port, or losing the machine’s port 22.
I would probably use ntfy.sh for this purpose. It doesn’t quite meet all your requirements, but you could use a random channel name and get some amount of security…
You can self host it, or use the hosted version. (I know it’s technically not chat, but it works on a series of messages, it just happens to call them notifications.)
Yes, I have. I should probsbly test them again though, as it’s been a while, and Immich at least has had many potentially significant changes.
LVM snapshots are virtually instant, and there is no merge operation, so deleting the snapshot is also virtually instant. The way it works is by creating a new space where the difference from the main volume are written, so each time the application writes to the main volume the old block will be copied to the snapshot first. This does mean that disk performance will be somewhat lower than without snapshots, however I’ve not really noticed any practical implications. (I believe LVM typically creates my snapshots on a different physical disk from where the main volume lives though.)
You can my backup script here.
I have recently repurposed and old Hp Stream to a home server and successfully run Immich. I really like it and even a small 500GB disk is way more than the 15GB Google offers. My issue though is about backup. I would only be comfortable if all the data is backed up in an off-site server (cloud). But the back up storage will probably cost as much as paying for a service like ente or similar, directly replacing Google photo. What am I missing? Where do you store your backup?
I would create separate nodes for each piece of metadata within the scene you are loading, you can use a Node2D (or Node3D) to store a position (such as a spawn point) and there is a Timer node which can hold the time for a level.
Alternatively, under the node inspector there is an option to “Add Metadata”, which might be more along the lines of what you are looking for. It can be read with the get_meta function.
