I’ve never done it in decades of owning computers, the only hardware that ever broke was a sketchy PSU, one regular hard drive and a refurbished one. But I guess it also depends on the quality of your electrical supply

Nobody does that

Some IDE (PATA) connectors had no keying…

I mean, isn’t that part of the point? Decentralization to smaller systems

I also self host, but I can’t claim to have better uptime than Cloudflare

Maybe it’s regional

NAT may be insecure but it keeps chugging on

Connect it to a spare access point, create a custom filtering rule on the router…

Weird, must be regional

Whenever I create a redirection on my domain it’s always instantaneous, but it still warns me that “DNS records may take up to 24h to propagate”

Can you open the website? I can’t:

The dev has a specific vision and that’s it. If you don’t like it you can use something else.

Yes, that’s what I wrote as well.

Valetudo is not a community is on the website.

If your answer to my comment is: “well, you can create your own community, with blackjack and hookers!”, well… There’d be so much to discuss that I don’t think it’s worth it.

And as for the second paragraph, communities aren’t “nice”. They’re communities, made of people, who are all flawed, just like everyone is, in different ways, but manage to make the puzzle of human interaction fit. If all you want is people communicating and behaving in a specific way that you approve of, that’s not a community.

Nobody’s forcing you out of your space and I’ve never proposed it, I just said that I won’t be using your software, we’re both making our choices, hopefully in respect of each other.

Yeah, the one cloud-connected device I had in my house, my Neato D7 Botvac, was lobotomized just last week when Vorwerk switched off its servers. I’m quite pissed off. It still works if I press the button and let it roam, but I lost scheduling, cleaning maps, no-go zones… I’m MORE than quite pissed off.

Idk, the dev seems… hostile. And prevents the project from becoming a community effort. Also:

Feature-parity is a non-goal for Valetudo, and if you’re wondering which features “you might lose”, Valetudo is not for you.

I mean, I do wonder if I will lose features, therefore I guess I should look elsewhere.

Unplugging the internet is also an option…

That’s the style that gets clicks on Youtube unfortunately.

Higher RAM price is irrelevant as it acts on the whole market, it’s not a disadvantage specific to the Steam Machine

Yeah that seems like a temperature issue. Have you tried increasing it 15-20°C?
