The second one is the ip I use to login to my modem settings. (192.168.1.254)

Yeah duckdns has the right ip address. It says DHCP-fixed on my modem. I don't know if it's dynamic or not, but I think I've had this ip ever since I started the service. I have a duck.sh cron script, but I think the issue might be between the modem and the router. I don't see the public ip address from the modem settings. I only see a 192. address in it.

Yeah I've port forwarded 9091, 443, 80, and 8096 for good measure.

I only made this comment because for some reason GOG seems to be more preferred by linux users than Steam, where as Steam has done a lot more for linux, and it not just works for Steam. GOG is now easily usable on linux mainly thanks to Valve's proton. I don't mind if game devs don't make as many games for linux. There is a huge chicken and egg problem with game development and userbase. Before proton they had all the reason to make games for linux but most didn't because it didn't make much financial sense to them. Now they don't have to worry about it. Plus, linux is much more than gaming. Because there is more people using linux now because of gaming, software other than games would be interested in building for linux, because the userbase is getting there.

I mean, I'm not naive to think valve does anything for anything other than money and self preservation. That doesn't mean I (and the overall linux community as a whole) don't greatly benefit from it. I want to incentivize their actions which benefit me. I love that I have been able to not boot into Windows for close to a decade because of proton, so I buy from them. I hate that GOG for all their drm free policy don't support linux, and that I have to jump through hoops to get their games working on linux (which is again made easier because of valve's proton), so I don't buy from them.

I agree GOG and Valve have different objectives. GOG's objective is to provide drm free games, where as Valve's objective is to make linux a viable gaming platform so they can stay independent of Microsoft. My objective aligns with Valve, so they get my money.

This is why I gave up buying on GOG and buy my games exclusively on Steam. Valve has made linux a viable gaming platform through seamless proton integration and steam deck. GOG on the other hand hasn't even built a linux client after all these years.

Interesting how there is no middle ground between $8 an hour and $10000 an hour. What do you think of $20 an hour? That is still 500 times less than a ceo pay so the ceo doesn't need to clean toilets any time soon.

I would add senses to that. It's not just thinking about it, but also applying your senses towards it.

The Long Dark is brutally cold and brutally challenging

Lemmios is great too. It has alert features where you can set up notifications whenever a new post is made in certain communities. It's very useful. Also it's the only app where inbox notifications consistently work for me.

Yeah, I would just make it a habit to always leave the home with a trash bag and drop it on the way to wherever I'm heading. Using large trashbags makes you wait until the bag is full. Buy those small 13 gallon (or smaller) bags. I use all my grocery bags as mini trash bags hung on cupboard doors. Makes it easier.
