I have just shy of 13 hours in Dead Cells. It's not something I play extensively. It's one that I pickup, play a run or two, and move on. When I don't have much time to devote.
I haven't tried the Kaycee's Mod (I didn't double-check my spelling) addon for Inscryption yet. I was trying to beat Cult of the Lamb first. Both are some of my favorite games in the last few years though.
I like the more roguelite type of games. I like that each run is different whether that means procedural generation of the map or just the starting weapons and pickups change throughout a run. Some of my favorite are the following:
It also depends on the audience. A lot of people might not be comfortable installing a different OS. Steam Deck is ready out of the box.
Personally, I have installed many OSes many times, so I am comfortable doing it to a handheld device. But the inputs on the Steam Deck would stop me from buying any alternatives. SD has so many options, full Xbox layout, track pads in either side, four paddles on the back, gyro, and the two "menu buttons". And they all feel super premium!
The last thing I'll say is about the support of all of this. I have only owned two valve made physical products at this point, Steam Deck and Steam Link. The updates for Steam Link continued far after the product was discontinued. The amount of bugs on the Steam Deck that were fixed via an update the day following it's report is truly astonishing. I have owned 3-4 ASUS ROG products and after the last keyboard I owned (how do you messup a keyboard?!?!) I decided it would take some serious innovation to get me to buy another product of theirs again. I have also owned two different models of GPD win, very unimpressed but the quality of the inputs so I sold them very fast. I can't speak to any other handheld but I can say I feel very comfortable with Steam backing the Deck.
That's such a big thing. Linux is better for a handheld. I used to own a couple of GPD Win's and Windows made it so frustrating so I just sold them. With my Steam Deck I have found very few games I couldn't play on Linux. I actually can't think of a single example that isn't a competitive multiplayer game. But, personally I didn't buy a handheld for competitive multiplayer..
Maybe I read it wrong but what I got from it is this:
Vaping is good as an alternative to non-smokers. The problem is that it's being pushed to non-smokers. It's not as bad as smoking, but the best is neither.
I also host VPS for lots of things. However, I don't think that's what you want here. I think you are really looking for two separate things. VPN for torrenting and bypassing geographic restrictions. Spot on. Go with a cheap VPN that allows torrenting and have fun.
Now, you want to do the media sharing thing with Jellyfin. Using a commercial VPN doesn't help here. It's only protecting you from giving your IP address to people you share Jellyfin with. But, if you trust them to share a service from your local network, you should probably trust them with your IP. Puting it on a VPN still leaves your Jellyfin exposed on the open internet where anyone can try to break in. It's just not your local IP. Does that make sense?
Because of the above, I would say to port forward on your home internet instead. However, I don't suggest this either! Even if you are super knowledgeable, it's best to not expose anything to the internet unless you have to. Jellyfin is pretty safe, but the best thing would be to use you want a VPN. So, I am a little confusing haha! Separate to the commercial VPN in the first part, you should setup a VPN where your network is the private network. I would highly suggest Wireguard. You can do all the setup and it's a little overwhelming. Or you can try Tailscale which uses Wireguard but it does all of the configuration for you. It is a paid product but for your needs I highly doubt you would fall out of the free plan.
Seems like you are already in the right place. Find a community in Lemmy called LLMs, AI, or whatever else is appropriate and post.if the community is dead you might be the person that brings it to life :)
