I'm in the same boat, I've been playing Death Stranding and a few other indie games once every weekend or two... or three. Now every one of my friends and coworkers are talking about hundreds of hours in BG3, I've bought and downloaded it last night to catch up.

The genre itself appeals to me, but the amount of time and concentration it takes me to get into a game nowadays, maybe this gets a kick start.

I've been running the following in docker on a thinkpad t510 running ubuntu server, performance isn't bad for a 10+ year old laptop.

• radarr/sonarr/jackett for finding movies and shows.

• Jellyfin for local streaming.

• transmission-openvpn for torrents over a VPN without routing other apps traffic.

• syncthing, for file sync between my desktop, laptop and phone (means one node is always on to get latest changes).

• wireguard VPN server to connect from outside home.

• nginx as a reverse proxy for all applications. Currently configured by hand, plan to find a way to automate at some point.

I tend to listen to music by the album, so after getting used to one any not-so-great songs will start to shine in their own way?

That said, a bit of genre whiplash here:

• Runes by Bury Tomorrow
• My Head is an Animal by Of Monsters and Men And as mentioned by DathKnight, El Camino by The Black Keys

I've been doom-scrolling reddit for a while and see this as a chance to kick the habit better than deleting and re-installing a week later
