  • It might be possible but unreliable. Your best bet is to have unRAID host a VM with a VM that has either the full steam client running on it or the appimage for the steam link app. Passthrough a GPU to it (you need to do that) and passthrough eventual peripherals to it. Connect the TV to the GPU output.

    For a hardware solution, I suggest finding a cheap-ish Android tv box that has an Ethernet port, and then simply installing the steam link app from the play store. You will then be able to connect your controllers to it directly, using Bluetooth or wired. It might be tempting to go to Amazon but honestly AliExpress is 60% cheaper and the same (garbage) quality. Try to find a one that says it can do 4k, that usually means it’s capable of outputting 1080p.

    All of this is completely disregarding the fact that you will likely have issues with game streaming when your host is on Linux. Try it out first with the steam link app on your phone.



  • I was there too. Do try the freebies and see how you like it, there’s nothing to lose. Personally, that convinced me and I switched to 300 searches, then I got a new job for which I was making lots of searches and outgrew it so now I’m on the unlimited. IMO ultimate is useless unless you really like the vision or something, I just pay for a working product.










  • So to be clear, you want traffic coming out of your VPS to have a source address that is your home IP?

    let’s go back to fundamentals and assume for a second that your VPS provider allows these packets out and your VPS initiates a TCP connection like that. It sends a TCP SYN with source: home address and dest: remote.

    The packet gets routed to the remote. The remote accepts and responds SYN/ACK with source: remote and dest: home address.

    Where do you think this packet will get routed? When it gets there, do you think the receiving server (and NAT gateways in between) will accept this random SYN/ACK that doesn’t appear to have a corresponding outgoing packets sent first? If so, how?



  • Not really. Your VPS’s public IP is not yours to change, for obvious reasons, and it’s unlikely that your hosting provider will let you send packets from your VPS using a source address that is incorrect. if they let you, then any replies to those packets will evidently get routed to the actual IP, ie your home IP. If you really want to forward SMTP to your VPS (which has less chance of being on a Blocklist by virtue of not being a residential IP), I suggest declaring your VPS as your SMTP sender in SPF, instead of declaring your home IP and trying to make that work with the VPS IP. The VPS can then be configured as an SMTP relay (this is a key feature of SMTP) to your home instance, or you could forward all traffic on the appropriate ports at the TCP level, but I don’t advise doing this.

    I hope you understand that if what you’re asking was possible, I could rent a VPS, spoof your IP and receive traffic meant for your IP without any issues. For the same reasons, I think the other commenter mentioning x-forwarded-for headers is wrong if you’re not using DKIM (and even then it’s iffy). Otherwise I could just write a payload with mailto: whatever, from:you@yourdomain and x-forwarded-for: your home IP and pass SPF checks without having control over your IP.

    if you’re still confused about SMTP feel free to ask more questions


  • It exists, but it’s generally really small shops that I wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending.

    The bigger hosting providers are fine with the status quo, because it means their support tickets are from people who at least know something about anything rather than complete noobies who need help resetting their password (not that there’s anything wrong with that, it’s just higher volume and not what hetzner staff is trained on)


  • My mom kicked me out when I was 18 and I was homeless for 2 weeks. She took me back in when uni started.

    This is one of the reasons I don’t speak to hear anymore. At all.

    This year, she sent me texts demanding to see me on my birthday. I did not speak to her. At all.

    I am now waiting for her to die and for one of my siblings to inform me. Apparently, my sister (who lives in another country, we don’t talk much) is also done with her and doesn’t talk to her at all. I guess our brother will let us know.

    What I’m getting at is that you are under no obligation to cater to people who don’t want to tolerate you in the first place. If a guy you lived with for a while was an asshat and demanded to see your children, you’d think he was demented. But suddenly he nutted in your mother once and now it’s fine? Family means nothing on its own. Family means you have a default group of people you interact with, but it’s up to each individual to actually be friends and allies with their family members, and if someone isn’t being a good friend or a good ally, and even is actively antagonizing you, then why do you still feel like you owe them anything? What do you mean “finally getting to the point you should accept it”? Accept him into your life? Why?! What good will that ever do to you? Oh sure maybe you’ll get to think “well I made amends before he died” once he’s dead. Guess what, if you’ve never held a grudge against him like you seem to imply, then it’s actually not up to you to make amends. Don’t tolerate bullshit from people just because they happen to be related to you.
