The article mostly says it was some kind of error but I can't help it, censorship and china lives closer together in my brain...

From my own experience on my older Lenovo Legion with the optimus GPUs (intel integrated, nvidia 3060m dedicated) it was always a bit of pain.
Though I think I settled on using optimus-manager and with just the right tweaks it worked, when I wanted to game I restarted my whole desktop session to run on the nvidia gpu.

Are you using bumblebee/primus with optirun/primusrun ? back before these were the main pain points. (I am also assuming you are on X11 Desktop Environment - afaik wayland on older nvidia gpus is basically impossible. Also, are you sure you are using the proprietary nvidia driver and not nouveau? Nouveau is unusable for gaming.)

I also use rsync.net but as direct host for my borg repos, why rclone after?

This was/is my main gripe with Beyond All Reason (open source rts game) there is no wiki or forums - for an outsider it looks like 98% of all development talk is done in discord.

Though they do have a good basic knowledge base on their website about the game units and mechanics (but I would love dedicated wiki).

I had the same question few days back here

Yeah it's not it's closer to paying your yearly cost but per month. L

Why is dietpi a worse choice? it's still basically debian (11).
I've chosen DietPi because of their sane defaults that I would have to setup myself like vm swappiness, fs noatime, tmp journal, and some more I am not even aware of.

I rent dedicated machine so the HW I have is the limit - I pay the same rate every month, no matter the usage, so with the bit outdated but still performant Ryzen 5 3600 and 64GB of RAM I was very happy to throw minecraft/zomboid/vallheim servers at it and few more services, aye aye;)

Though the possibility of tunneling services out from the RPi is something I am aware of, but except for stuff that would benefit from video HW accel there isn't much that would be better to run on the RPi instead of on the server directly.

Already got ssd as a nfs share in my openwrt-based router before that I did have it set up on the rpi. I did want to do offsite backup into that disk originally but I've got "only" ~100Mb/s up/down speed here so I didn't want to risk slow-downs etc (but now that you remind me, borgbackup should be rather light on traffic!).

NEMS being a whole OS is a pitty, I like the possibility to have multiple different services there.But you are absolutely right I could have a offsite resource monitoring for my Hetzner setup with these, thanks!

I might have a look actually, though if any of these require publicly accessible IP then that won't be possible because of CGNAT :(
