  • I think it was more prevalent when there were “console wars” i.e., fans of Xbox, Playstation, or Nintendo would shout at the other two about how great their system and games were. Some of it was probably marketing, some of it was overly excited and fanatical people making arguments for a thing they like. Generally, PC gamers get to enjoy a little bit of everything, from PC ports to emulators to their own exclusive swathes of games, but the label of “PC Gamer” feels marred by the idiots over at r/pcmasterrace.

    Nowadays I’d be very surprised to see this bickering, considering how cross-platform everything is now. Playstation games are on PC, Xbox games are coming to Playstation. Nintendo is… well, Nintendo.




  • I don’t mean to add to the discourse here or to keep giving you hypotheticals but, while learning to self host is fun and cool, you really do not want this thing on public Internet. Even if you can delete files to prevent uncouth things, what if someone uploads something while you’re asleep, or away from your computer? Do you have others monitoring the instance to take down CSAM or other illegal material? What if someone uploads malware and it executes on your machine? If you must leave it exposed, you should allow only family and friends to access via a strongly passworded account(I think that is configurable with copy party).

    If you really want to expose services, try a media server like Plex or Jellyfin. You don’t want strangers to upload things to your machines.
