Portable storage. As a soldier I take my work and entertainment with me because when you deploy you may not have internet. I have hundreds of movies, about 4000 songs in mp3 320kbps, a bunch of audiobooks from librevox, and a ton of games with Steam’s DRM removed or using emulators for consoles or flash games or exodos. It’s all well organized and ready for any file share should I come across a large file server.
I enjoy maintaining this file sharing application in TypeScript. I am considering rewriting it in Zig so that it’s faster, doesn’t need Node, and works with better encryption than TLS and without certificates. It is fully decentralized using a multi-tier model so that sharing and texting is unrestricted between personal devices but allows Samba like restrictions between users.
- quickthrower2 3y agoI am guessing you have a mirror of that drive at home too.
- austin-cheney 3y agoYes, I have an old computer running my favorite Linux distribution as both a Plex server and a Samba file/print server. In the future when I am flush with cash I will do it right with a proper NAS solution.
- politelemon 3y ago> with Steam’s DRM removed How is this done? Just asking out of curiosity, I thought it wasn't possible. That could open up games to being backed up in case of account loss. But it probably wouldn't work for games which are actually just going through third party launchers?
- austin-cheney 3y agoI have not tried this with games that require Steam for multiplayer access. I use two commonly available applications to do it. One is to use Steamless to clone the games exe and another emulates the two DLL files Steam uses for drm.
