A simple step-by-step guide for setting up Server76 on Debian
Preparing the server
This guide presumes that we're starting from a minimalist Debian LXC container, setting up the username server76 and the installation path /opt/server76/. From within a root shell simply run the following commands to create the user and the directory.
By adding the user to the group sudo the user will be able to run commands as root later which will ease up the installation process.
The user needs a password so supply one with the passwd command. If you're feeling lucky, you can also delete the randomized password by running passwd with the parameter -d. Be aware that deleting the password will lead to security nightmares if there is ever an RCE exploit for Server76.
passwd server76
Installing components
Install necessary packages and add support for i386 packages (needed for steamcmd). Make sure to have Debian's non-free component activated in your sources.list if you want to install steamcmd.
If wget returns a 404, check out the project's discord for a new download URL. At the time of writing they were storing their releases with a simple ISO formatted date suffix.
Extract the archive's content to the subdirectory bin with p7zip. The directory doesn't have to exist, it will be created automatically if needed.
7zr x -obin linuxrelease_$(date -I).7z
Remove the archive if you don't like to waste space and make the binary executable with chmod.
Now dump your Fallout76 1.4.1.6 ESM and BA2 files into the ServerData directory /opt/server76/bin/ServerData. If you need to upload them from a remote location, keep in mind that you might have to enable login for the user if you want to use rsync or scp/sftp.
If you want to use steamcmd, modify the following script to represent your login data and save it as ~/download_f76:
Launch the script with /usr/games/steamcmd +runscript ~/download_f76. If you've activated 2FA for your Steam account, you'll be asked for your Steam Guard code. It'll take a while until everything's downloaded.
Once the downloads have finished, you may move the files to the directory mentioned above and tidy up your downloads. Don't forget to remove or protect the above script because you probably don't want to have your Steam account's credentials lying around in plain text.
Run the server ~/bin/Server76.Server once to let it build initial structures. This will take a while. If it fails with an error message suggesting that CSV files could not be found because the devs once forgot that Linux is case-sensitive, add a symlink with ln -s /opt/server76/bin/ServerData/CSV /opt/server76/bin/ServerData/csv. It also may fail because of a missing override directory so create one with mkdir -p /opt/server76/bin/ServerData/overrides. You may stop the process when you spot Verbose: World State Service ready....
Creating a service
Now add a systemd service for Server76. This allows us to start/stop/restart Server76 without lousy tricks like screen or tmux and adds a nice way of logging. Additionally, it automatically restarts Server76 if something went wrong.
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/server76.service
Add the following contents to the newly created service file:
The process's priority can be elevated by lowering the niceness. A niceness of -5 might be a good start, so you might try to remove the # when Server76 runs choppy.
Now it's time to reload systemd, enable our new service and start it.
Server76 will now automatically start when Debian boots up. You can check it's status with sudo systemctl status server76 or it's stdout log with sudo journalctl -u server76.service. Add the user server76 to the group adm if you want to omit sudo for journalctl.
Add auto-update (not tested yet!)
While not necessary, one might find joy in having a fresh copy of Server76 delivered on a daily or weekly basis. To simplify the process we've already installed anacron above. Just throw the below script in one of the /etc/cron.*-directories (e. g. /etc/cron.daily or /etc/cron.weekly).
Don't forget to make the script executable. To disable auto-updating again, just remove the executable bit of the file.
This guide also seem to work on free tier Oracle cloud servers with Ubuntu, so go for it if you're feeling lucky. Be sure to add at least 2 GB of swap space if you choose the VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro shape.

Its not illegal to have the interior lights on while driving. Birds wont reject babies cause they smell like humans and actually have a bad sense of smell in general. Tectonic plates are made up of a bunch of little tiny plates. Swimming after eating wont give you a "cramp". Your Parents would have had to buy that food and had a house without you. The sky isnt blue cause its a reflection of the ocean. Quick sand isnt really a problem for people even if you find some, u sink very slowly.
@budsofstone As someone involved with competitive swimming for a hot minute, the cramp thing is blowing my mind. Like just generations of swimmers mindlessly parroting what other swimmers told them
It's not illegal to have the light on in the car. Some people have always been told by their parents not to let the cop catch you with the light on in your car or he'll pull ya over.
@chandlerkyle93 I mean this one I kinda get in terms of, “don't attract unwanted attention on the road”. Was never specifically told this is illegal, just to not do it or cops might suddenly find reason to talk to our very brown family
hi my dears, I have an issue at work where we have to work with millions (150 mln~) of product data points. We are using SQL server because it was inhouse available for development. however using various tables growing beyond 10 mln the server becomes quite slow and waiting/buffer time becomes >7000ms/sec. which is tearing our complete setup of various microservices who read, write and delete from the tables continuously down. All the stackoverflow answers lead to - its complex. read a 2000 page book.
the thing is. my queries are not that complex. they simply go through the whole table to identify any duplicates which are not further processed then, because the processing takes time (which we thought would be the bottleneck). but the time savings to not process duplicates seems now probably less than that it takes to compare batches with the SQL table. the other culprit is that our server runs on a HDD which is with 150mb read and write per second probably on its edge.
the question is. is there a wizard move to bypass any of my restriction or is a change in the setup and algorithm inevitable?
edit: I know that my questions seems broad. but as I am new to database architecture I welcome any input and discussion since the topic itself is a lifetime know-how by itself. thanks for every feedbach.
What? Problems like this usually come down to some missing indexes. Can you view the query plan for your slow queries? See how long they are taking? IDK about SQL Server but usually there is a command called something like ANALYZE, that breaks down a query into the different parts of its execution plan, executes it, and measures how long each part takes. If you see something like "FULL TABLE SCAN" taking a long time, that can usually be fixed with an index.
If this doesn't make any sense to you, ask if there are any database gurus at your company, or book a few hours with a consultant. If you go the paid consultant route, say you want someone good at SQL Server query optimization.
By the way I think some people in this thread are overestimating the complexity of this type of problem or are maybe unintentionally spreading FUD. I'm not a DB guru but I would say that by now I'm somewhat clueful, and I got that way mostly by reading the SQLlite docs including the implementation manuals over a few evenings. That's probably a few hundred pages but not 2000 or anything like that.
First question: how many separate tables does your DB have? If less than say 20, you are probably in simple territory.
Also, look at your slowest queries. They likely say SELECT something FROM this JOIN that JOIN otherthing bla bla bla. How many different JOINs are in that query? If just one, you probably need an index; if two or three, it might take a bit of head scratching; and if 4 or more, something is possibly wrong with your schema or how the queries are written and you have to straighten that out.
Basically from having seen this type of thing many times before, there is about a 50% chance that it can be solved with very little effort, by adding indexes based on studying the slow query executions.
First question: how many separate tables does your DB have? If less than say 20, you are probably in simple territory.
Currently about ~50. But like 30 of them are the result of splitting them into a common column like "country". In the beginning I assumed this lead to the same as partitioning one large table?
Also, look at your slowest queries
The different queries itself take not long because of the query per se. but due to the limitation of the HDD, SQL reads as much as possible from the disk to go through a table, given that there are now multiple connections all querying multiple tables this leads to a server overload. While I see now the issue with our approach, I hope that migrating the server from SQL server to postgreSQL and to modern hardware + refactoring our approach in general will give us a boost.
They likely say SELECT something FROM this JOIN that JOIN otherthing bla bla bla. How many different JOINs are in that query?
Actually no JOIN. Most "complex" query is INSERT INTO with a WHEN NOT EXIST constraint.
But thank you for your advice. I will incorporate the tips in our new design approach.
You really have to see what the db is doing to understand where the bottlenecks are, i.e. find the query plans. It's ok if it's just single selects. Look for stuff like table scans that shouldn't happen. How many queries per second are there? Remember that SSD's have been a common thing for maybe 10 years. Before that it was HDD's everywhere, and people still ran systems with very high throughput. They had much less ram then than now too.
Do you notice how, while some people spend their days breaking things, others, more of us than them I believe, just keep mending. Humble, patient, skilled, never done, usually messy, the handwork that holds the world together.

Ministers #Smotrich and #Strook have handed out 21 4X4 Ranger vehicles to #settlers in the South #Hebron Hills. On the ground, these so-called “modern day pioneers” are using them to harass and intimidate a Palestinian family that has a flock of sheep. They take photos, report back to their friends by phone, and wait for a confrontation. The gift is proving effective.
In early April (2025), Ministers Smotrich and Strook of the far-right, fundamentalist racist Religious Zionism party handed out 21 4X4 Ranger vehicles to settlers in farm outposts across the South Hebron Hills. On April 3, Smotrich posted on his Twitter: “The farms in Judea and Samaria are the protective wall of the State of Israel. The farmers who take hold of the open areas and stand firm against terror, are the #pioneers of our time.”
Now let us see how the “modern day pioneers” are using the gift they received from the State of Israel: West of the village of As Samu’, a Palestinian shepherd family lives in a few very modest structures. The family has lived in this spot for decades, in Area C, just about 300 meters from the nearest houses of the village, which are in Area B. Between them and the House's village there is a small wadi that the family cultivates mainly to grow fodder for their sheep.
But in the twisted world of Smotrich, Strook, and the #settlers in the area, a Palestinian family quietly raising sheep on its own land is labeled “terrorism” and in order to confront this so-called “ #terrorism” the settlers were given the Rangers. So now, nearly every day, one or two settlers arrive on one of these Rangers that Smotrich gifted, park just a few meters away from the family’s home, and spend several minutes filming them while making phone calls, presumably to “report” something. The goal is clear: to provoke even the slightest pretext for escalation, so the settlers can call the local militia to take it from there and continue their work.

As part of my job, I have to evaluate AI tools. Part of that evaluation is pushing them to their limit. Today, I realised Cursor has a setting where if you critique its work enough, it goes silent and refuses to apply changes.
It's a moody junior dev whose overconfidence and bravado quickly turn to surly silence when their work is questioned. The happy, helpful (and frequently wrong) AI is gone, replaced by a useless one with a bad attitude that won't make it past the next performance review.
Christ. I'm used to managing engineers, but I draw the line at managing AIs.
It's got to the point where I can't even recommend these tools for simple jobs. The amount of technical debt these things are going to generate is beyond comprehension. They throw away decades of software and professional standards.
Yep. You know that one legacy codebase that every company has, which nobody wants to touch because the "tech wizard" who wrote it did things in his own idiosyncratic way and never documented anything, then left without doing a handover, so even the tiniest fix can take a day of wrapping your head around how the parts are connected?
That's what you get from the outset with AI. Anyone promoting these tools has no understanding of, or respect for, the value of institutional memory.
@PentUp and this is the crux of the problem with AI marketing. 95% of software is that one legacy codebase. Very few people actually get paid to bootstrap a javascript framework quickly. They get paid to maintain huge, unfathomable enterprise systems.
LLMs are statistical bullshit generators. They produce output that looks highly plausible, but may or may not be true, accurate or correct.
LLMs have zero understanding or intelligence, they merely match patterns found in their training data.
The sooner we all realise this, and the "AI" bubble bursts, the better. AI has it's uses, where spotting patterns is useful, but is otherwise mostly just a toy.
my wife is asking if you have tried to apologising to see what happens 😀
Either random electrical wiring can fool us into believing that a machine is intelligent, or we are fooling ourselves into thinking that we are very different from a bunch of random electrical signals.

Out of curiosity, I had asked GitHub Copilot to create an issue for me in one of my own repos and it didn’t even do the basic task of checking for duplicates. There were at least 5.
I’ve been holding off on moving everything to @Codeberg because of CI and because “everyone has a GitHub account” but directly enabling AI generated spam is the final straw.
I will start migration of what I can on the weekend and I encourage everyone to join me in using a non-corporate forge.
