  • Personally, I use headscale (self-hosted tailscale) that is open to the internet. Then my phone and all other devices use tailscale clients to connect to that. All my other services are accessed through the tailscale magic DNS service.

    Nothing except headscale is open to the internet, and I can access anything I need on the server and other devices. It also doesn’t just route All traffic through my server, only the stuff to other tailscale nodes.

    Then just recently I’ve been using Nginx proxy manager and my DNS to make nicer names instead of memorizing a dozen ports for random services I host :p

















  • I do not have a Steam Deck but I do use Linux.

    Doesn’t it have a Micro SD card slot? That would probably be the least faffing way to copy files.

    Aside from that it’s just a Linux computer so anything you like; I’m partial to SSH (rsync) for one off or Syncthing to sync folders around. You could also use a magic-wormhole web client, a Windows shared folder (no experience connecting to SMB shares from Linux), or croc (like Magic wormhole but resumable).

    Also not a user of pirated game files, but what kind of format are they? If they are EXE files then they won’t work when you double click them like on Windows (at least not unless SteamOS went to the effort to configure that). You have to run them with Proton from Steam. I do not know how to do this with things outside Steam but you cauld try adding them to Steam as an external game, then the usual “select Proton” configuration might present itself.
