The bad ones…

hint hist hiss

I’m afraid I don’t have time to look, or I’d try and diagnose the issue myself… It’s an awesome resource I’ll be making use of though!

C# 404’s - possibly some encoding issue?

That’s because HS2 is a totally flawed, Ill thought out, over budget and badly managed boondoggle - just like everything in the UK rail system since the Beeching cuts in the 60’s. If it was properly run, well thought out - and actually made a significant difference in time (not approximately 15 minutes from Piccadilly to Euston), we’d support it.

Just a quick note - it’s this weeks free game, not this month - they do a game or two a week. :) I’ve not played it, and I kind of feel like it could bring the worst of deck-building and real-time strategy together into one, rather than best in my mind; but I’m open to try when I get free time.

Porkbun have a ddclient plugin on GitHub. Subdomains are supported. They’ve got a full API, so if something isn’t supported, someone can probably implement it relatively easily.

I’m a huge reader, massive… like, I spent up until I was about 29, 30 or so going to the library every week or two and getting 10 books out every time (That was the most you could get). I’d have read them all, and be champing at the bit to go back well within the week… it was a regular trip for us to go.

I’ve never actually read the Never Ending Story, and I loved the movie… one of my favourite childhood movies.

Going to have to give it a read…

I’m going to briefly explain why I downvoted… this (I feel) is an unhelpful comment that doesn’t explain anything. You say, “[if] you’re comfortable support a broken-by-design network, do it.”, but you don’t explain why it’s a broken-by-design network.

I’ll say - I agree with you, but the comment doesn’t actually enhance the conversation and comes off as abrasive and unhelpful. If I’m looking for information, I’d rather be given education (Even if it’s just a, “Go here for why you don’t do that!”), not just a, “Don’t do it” with no assistance and help for how to do it right.

Some routers will call the 1:1 NAT feature, “DMZ” (Short for Demilitarised Zone). The idea is that you just act as a pass-through, in this case, “passing through” the external internal to the internal router.

That’s… Pretty nice, and once you’ve sourced everything, not that much more than a cm4 with good specifications…

Are they available in the UK easily? I realise that’s probably a Google-it answer, but I’ve not had chance to research yet

Those are fair pointers, but I suppose in the back of my mind I’m also thinking about power draw as well… Speed isn’t a massive retirement, it’s going to be hooked up to a poe network, if I wanted speed I’d first be putting in cat 6 or something…

Not heard of a beelink, time to research, thanks.

This is an intruiging subject. I was part of reddit’s /r/patientgamers subreddit (lurking, mostly) because it was a good place to get insight into valuable gems that I missed first time through because I didn’t have time or didn’t want to spend £60 or £70 on a brand new game, and would rather wait for a sale.

Nowadays, I generally wait for Game Pass, Ubi+, PS+ or similar to get the game. Sure, I spend on subscriptions, but the games I play if I count out the costs it’s a lot cheaper.

I do also play retro games - ‘retro’ being an ambivalent term for me, as it somehow is used pejoratively throughout the modern gaming community, which I disagree with: They’re good games, just not on modern hardware or systems - quite often. So - yeah, sometimes I lag, sometimes I’m up-to-date, oftentimes I’m on my Steam Deck so I get to play slightly older games at a high fidelity on a handheld device, which is awesome.
