Hello, I'm eyeing No Man's Sky for past 10 years and haven't decided it's a game for me yet. On paper it's my childhood dream come true - deep space, commanding ships, discovering planets, seeing alien life forms, basically everything I dreamt about as a kid reading Clarke and Asimov...

I'm not a kid anymore, but the itch is still there to some degree. Nowadays I do enjoy slower paced RPGs, interesting story and distinctive art and music style. Thinking games like old KOTORs, Morrowind, Gothic, or Pillars of Eternity, Disco Elysium or Pentiment from newer ones. I did enjoy some hours in Valheim too, but more like exploring and not so much building and micro managing the base. And I play slow. Really slow. I tend to discover all the corners of the map before moving on, just to "check" if there's something of interest (old Gothic was amazing for this).

Is No Man's Sky worth its asking price for me? Or will it crush me with never ending space, billions of quests and tedious base building? Does it have "main story line" or something like that?

Ever since I played the game some two years ago I keep getting back to Disco Elysium OST. It's simply wonderful - original, calm, deep, meditative, thoughtful. There are plenty other OSTs I really like - things like Morrowind, Wizardry 8, Diablo and many more, but Disco is just very unique in this list. Maybe because it's so different than any of those other game OSTs I keep in my heart?

Do you know anything similar? What is your special soundtrack?

Hello, quick introduction. I'm self-hosting beginner, started about year ago, burned myself couple times, learned a bit, but mostly still groping in the dark as nobody I personally know does anything like this.

• Currently I do have Asustor 2-bay NAS, equipped with Celeron 5105 processor, which I managed to installed TrueNAS Scale on to its NVMe drive, with two mirrored drives for data. I host couple services there (like Navidrome or Adguard). It works OKish, although I don't feel like I'm very confident in TrueNAS.
• Recently I got HP Z2 Gen3 Mini workstation with Xeon 1245-v5 with 32GB RAM. Which - according to specs - should be much better "server" than Asustor above, although it does have just one SATA and one m.2 port.

My (probably not very smart) idea is:

• Use the HP as a Proxmox node with OS installed on the SATA drive.
• Host the services in LXCs on secondary m.2 drive.
• Wipe the Asustor and use it just as a network drive for "data" (navidrome music, immich pictures, etc.). Ideally accessible from other PCs as data drive. Not sure about OS choice for this use. OpenMediaVault? Plain Debian? Another instance of Proxmox? Or maybe even original Asustor option?

Is this a good idea? Considering reliability concerns or future-proof abilities. My thought process was this way I could swap either the HP or Asustor for something else in the future when the need (or device fail) appears. Or should I scratch the idea entirely and use completely different approach and/or devices?

Or maybe I should rather post this in a different community I don't follow yet?
