If youre up for it, you could stream off of your home desktop with Sunshine and use the laptop just as a light-weight client. Then the requirements for the laptop are a lot less and could potentially play even better games.

I played dota on my old laptop at a friends house while it actually streamed from my home desktop and it worked fine. I dont remember if you need a domain or static IP or anything like that, which may be a barrier. Or if upload speeds just wont allow it

I selfhost a forgejo instance, which is the underlying framework for codeberg (and they maintain forgejo).

Federation is in the works, they say.

If i was going to have any projects public, this is where i would do it.

Thats my password!
