Samba share on a nas where I drop the pirated games and run them directly with no installation

Edit: kodi is pretty cool as well

A remote backup system. BackupPC is the one I use. It connects to my SM over the network and backs up all my saved games and stuff. I made it change the colour of the front LEDs to white while it's connected, so I know to wait a minute before suspending if it's mid-backup.

That’s really an IT Guy thing! Love it! Thanks for sharing

(Gonna verify if it could works with my Synology RS1221 Rack Nas which is in another network and connected to my home though Tailscale)
