I’d just set up the reverse proxy on the VPS and make it forward everything via IPv6. But you could also use a tunnel/VPN, everything from Tailscale to Wireguard or even an SSH tunnel would work. And there are dedicated services like Cloudflare, nohost, neutrinet, pagekite…

I run Windows software such as games with Proton, I used Wine before. The frontend to launch it doesn’t matter a lot to me. Lutris, Bottles, Steam… they mostly all work. But honestly, I don’t pirate many games these days. I’m more for older games and since we got Steam sales and Humble Bundles, I get a lot of them there. At least the Windows games. I haven’t found a legal source for old console games, but we have a lot of emulators for N64, PSP, Arcade machines … as well. And great frontends like Emulationstation.

Try finding out if it received an IP address, if the driver is loaded or if there are any error messages in dmesg. You might also want to give more information. Which ethernet card? Which version of Linux are you running? And there seem to be some similar reports on Reddit and in some Linux forums. I couldn’t find a solution, though. Maybe you just want to buy a cheap new network card.

You could run multiple mail servers. Or download from Sharehosters in parallel. Or download more Youtube videos before the rate limit stops you. Or use virtualization or containers to launch some more virtualized servers.

Sure, I have an old PC with an energy efficient mainboard and a PicoPSU and I wouldn’t want anything else. I believe it does somewhere around 20W-25W though. And I have lots of RAM, a decent (old) CPU and enough SATA ports… Well, I would go for a newer PC, they get more energy efficient all the time… But it’s a lot of effort to pick the components unless some PC magazine writes something or someone has a blog with recommendations.

You’ll want to look up the QNAP as well. I’ve seen reports with quite some variety on the power consumption. Depending on the exact model, it could be somewhere in the range from 25W to 55W… So could be less, could be the same. And have a look at the amount of RAM if you want to run services on it.

I’m not seeing any post or comment removals in that modlog other than the usual stuff and things due to other specific reasons. It doesn’t seem to be connected to what OP is referring to. At least I can’t see it. Also I’m not sure about that being another alt account. Maybe true, IDK. The writing style isn’t the same. If it’s one of the alts, that’s done well.

I think it’s super weird that some people have a r/Lemmy to discuss Lemmy drama and tech support Lemmy questions on Reddit (with very low engagement), some people do a tumblr and some do YouTube videos to gather evidence and expose certain users. That’s just wild.
