  • If I like having a web UI means you can do without it, git doesn’t require anything fancy. I just have my git repos on my server and push/pull from my workstations over SSH. It doesn’t require anything but git & SSH on the server. You can even collaborate with others by giving them a locked down account that can’t do anything other then interact with the git repo.

    This approach certainly isn’t for everyone. The web UI can be super handy, but if you just want your own self-hosted git server, keep it simple.



  • You could probably install a handler for the event that’s triggered when the power button is pressed. Most OSes do that and pop up a graceful shutdown options window. Most hardware will have a hard shutdown option when you hold the power button for a few seconds. You would probably have to overwrite the BIOS or something at that level to prevent that way out.






  • Yeah, you’re absolutely right. I’m in a slightly different demographic, but am still really interested in the steam machine. I’d be happy building my own gaming rig, but:

    1. Pricing out all that stuff, ordering it, building it is a lot of work, I’d want to see some benefit for that work,
    2. After pricing it all out, maybe I look at a steam machine and decide it’s a better deal.

    Realistically, steam machines, consoles, and custom gaming rigs are all approximately the same hardware and the same market. If the price of the steam machine is going up, so is its competition.






  • I started playing with it, but decided that DNS was slightly lower level than I wanted to host myself (personal opion, more power to you if you disagree). Instead, I use NextDNS which gives me great control down to individual devices, blocks ads and malware, and doesn’t bring down the internet for my entire home if I have a faulty power supply or SD card or whatever.
