To be fair, also love the mini pc's and having a larger NAS. For me the PoE capabilities of the Pi's are definitely the reason I use them

I have a simple mod, but it really sucks to stay up to date. I play with a lot of mobs and haven't updated minecraft since 1.21.1. I also think that the new update release cycle really messes up mod developer workflows, as you need to put in a crap ton of work or don't have to do anything. Before this, you could just update on a major release, while code was mostly the same in a minor release.

I'm currently saving up to buy a fractal design node 804 to build a NAS with 4 drives within. Also trying to create some more reliable backups using said NAS.

Going with rust for the second year, I'm still trying to learn things with it and AoC is a great way to do so

From my experience, Cities Skylines works great through proton on steam (it's a compatibility layer for windows games) and Minecraft has it's own native launcher (which is downloadable from their site here, you need to use the debian installer for ubuntu). As far as ubuntu native, I haven't used it a lot. Linux mint is a distro recommended for people who are used to windows most often, you can take a look around.

As far as the other games go, only slime rancher is one that I know doesn't work through steam. For most games you can take a look at protondb, where you can just search for the game.

Modrinth just started their server network, it is very new, so I'm not quite sure on reliability. The company itself is open-source and seems quite good, they have made a great mod platform in recent years.

I was planning on filtering local and external IP's, like technotim explains in one of his videos by using cloudflare as an external reverse proxy

I'm aware of this. There are a few services I expose, but most of them are local. I just wanted to make accessing local services a bit cleaner.

Will also take a look at the router DNS, thanks a lot!

Okay, I'll start with configuring pihole for DNS. If I get it, I can just use that DNS and if I need to access a service external I need to register the domain with my registrar?

Thanks for the reply! I think I get it now.

I'm working on a simple and hackable static site generator, stagnant. I wanted a static site generator that utilized html for templates, so I built it myself to learn rust a bit better.
