What about the next generation of kids that want to play old classics, or just plain ol patient gamers that never got to it? If it's just people that have private personal backups, then it'll eventually die with them and be lost forever to time.

I use Plex for my music, which has a lot of mechanisms that help me process new stuff.

For example, I have a smart playlist that only plays things I haven't heard in a year. This is my "Frontier" playlist to hear new things. As I listen, I rate stuff with stars.
From there, I then have smart playlists that only play highly rated things I haven't heard in a week or two. Depending on my mood, I'll either listen to my frontier playlist, or my liked playlist.. with other playlists further scoping on genre as desired.

All these playlists filter out things that are lowly rated if I've heard them more than X times.

I generally shove anything/everything anyone recommends into the pot, which then naturally folds into my frontier playlist which then fold naturally into my liked playlists. I've discovered quite a lot of stuff I never would've predicted I'd like this way. From there, I'll look at recommended artists from the bands I have and like and add those as well.

Check out Komodo for doing docker UI work. Pretty new, but already awesome and making lots of progress

FoundryVTT or bust

It's on my "short" Todo list to write an app that looks at your current library (Plex, for me) and finds related artists through other apis (like Spotify) and exposes a UI to show what things to check out. Maybe some tracking of what you've accepted as interesting and still missing so you can grab off Bandcamp or wherever else you get your music. But at least it would help track/expose WHAT bands to seek out

Recall Knowledge. If someone is going out of their way to do it, I try to round up a bit and give them something when I can. Also, I let them pick the type of info they want to learn about, like, "Does this creature seem to have high reflex". If you don't reward them enough, they just go back to blindly bashing, I think.

I'm also seeing if I want to add my own rules for peeking around a corner to shoot, since that's fairly unclear in the rules how that works. RAW just seems extremely punishing to need to spend two Step actions just to lean. For now, thinking about adding a peek action that lets you view around the corner for your next action, without needing to spend any more to go back once you're done.

Yup! Spotify removing things off my playlists was a big initial factor into me getting into self hosting. All my music streams through Plex now and I haven't looked back

Huge fan of the cathedral view. It's the only thing that makes modding amazing.

In the parlor view, everyone is holding their secrets close to their chest and hiding the tricks, which means the community can't learn from each other nearly as well.

Cathedral is what allows tons of tiny contributions to add up to a vast amazing experience. Each person's work can be built upon by the next or used as inspiration and guidance for something new.

For an ecosystem built on people working after hours, this collaboration and knowledge exchange is fundamental.

Just out of curiosity, is the tail scale part of this required? If i just reverse proxy things and have them only protected from there by the login screen of the app being shown, that's obviously less safe. But the attackers would still need to brute force my passwords to get any access? If they did, then they could do nasty things within the app, but limited to that app. Are there other vulnerabilities I'm not thinking about?

Ah, nice. I gotta do the reverse and check out Soularr a bit. I imagine my Deezer setup will eventually implode, so I'll need a fallback haha

Sure sure! Just a fallback to consider if you have trouble locating elsewhere, as I did. Spotify rippers were noticably bad quality, and torrents for music were very scarce compared to other media types. But maybe I missed something or there's better options now. Dropping $10 for a month to mass download everything at crisp quality isn't too bad an option, imo.

I use Deezer. You pay for it per month like Spotify, but they have API to just download the songs straight up. I think the open source UI I've been using for that is on the rocks a bit, but do far still been working for me
