Lenovo Legion. If you pick a configurable one and remove windows they’ll lower the price accordingly (sometimes 100€ for windows pro). Some models offer Linux pre-installed.

Steam did an amazing job on the controller management, you can already remap everything. Disabling track pads should be easy

Dumb idea: if the configuration is on a file, you can make it immutable. Something with chattr +i can’t remember. I take no responsibility if your server catches fire, and you may have to manually set the flag on and off if you want to add new media/change settings. It may be more complicated if everything is inside a “full” sql db

As for the rest, either start jellyfin at boot or a custom launcher or kodi. I don’t know if plasmashell is still working, it can probably be configured to only show the correct stuff. There are also custom launchers for android tv

Such a ride

Looks really nice! Thought it was a terraria clone at first, will check out the reviews

Edit: bought it since it’s 75% off, played around 2 hours, it’s pretty entertaining, I’m not a super fan of this kind of turn based combat in general, but we’ll see

In my opinion, for your situation, AI is not going to help if you don’t know enough programming ALREADY, what is probably going to happen is that you’re going to achieve a certain progress and then get stuck.

I suggest you take a look at no code/low code solutions since your game does sound not too hard to make.

Take a look at rpg maker and construct 3

You’ll be able to use AI for the scripting you’ll need.

I had a friend use rpg maker with success in the first years of high school, before “the internet” was available, and he knew nothing about programming (he’s now a doctor)

This is the reddit discussion in Italian

With much smaller numbers reported, and commenters saying it’s simply impossible by looking at pictures. The most efficient protest seemed to be the workers in ports stopping shipping for Israel

Meloni proposed a motion to recognized Palestine, but adding conditions which people didn’t like, so the vote failed

I think most selfhosters already know/use Linux, so management issues are already known. About the ease of use, if you manage services with docker it’s really easy to bring them up/down, and if you want some GUI there’s portainer.
