1. Set up your.dns.address to point to your public IP

2. Port forward necessary traffic to your machine on your local network

3. Set up a hairpin NAT rule on your home router so that when you try to access your public IP from inside your own network, it redirects as necessary

AI strikes again.

Only works if it’s an incandescent light, but…

Flip one switch. Wait a few minutes. Flip it off.

Flip the second switch and go into the room.

If the light is on, it’s the switch you flipped most recently. If the light is off but warm, it was the first switch. If it’s off and cold, it’s the switch you didn’t touch.

Even better! Thanks for pointing those out.

Well, I’ll take Manifest v3 over AI, so I guess I’m switching to Vivaldi.

You don’t.

Learn to actually code.

America Offline

It must be exhausting and lonely seeing the world in black and white.

In North America it’s like domestic violence in a word. Cunt doesn’t really have a positive connotation here.

If you’ve known him for 20 years he should respect you enough that you can tell him he’s being a cunt. Coming from you it should mean something, and maybe he’ll take a look at himself. I’m friends with some right wingers who are decent people but folks like that need to be called out.

Last release 10 years ago, is the autobuild much further ahead in development? Last time I tried openomf it was super janky, ended up reverting to dosbox and the original game.

Super Mario Bros 2 did the one you’re talking about. I think Mario 64 onwards as well. However, the one OP is talking about is common in Half-Life.

Been charging my phone overnight for years. Battery health is 100% and I never have to worry about charging.

Nice

If only there was a way to prevent a person from getting measles. Hell, mumps and rubella too!

Seriously though, who asked for photorealistic graphics? If people agreed on a reasonable target, we could just have games at a reasonable size and cost, hardware upgrades wouldn’t need to be so insane, and teams could be put on other important things like, I dunno, making sure the game works instead of just looking pretty.

Starfield, Diablo 4, and Tears of the Kingdom for me.

Starfield was a hard pass at 30FPS on my Series X. But also, the gameplay and story just didn’t interest me at all.

Diablo 4 was monotonous. Grinding for hours to get a percentage of a percentage increase on gear was not fun. I’ve played every other Diablo game along with numerous other action RPGs of that style, but D4 is a snorefest. It’s frustrating being chain stunned by all the crowd control, it’s frustrating that a lot of enemies have a lot of health for no reason, and it’s bland when you face the same few bosses over and over again. It wasn’t so bad in the other Diablo games because you could just nuke the bosses, but in D4 each one is a straight up chore to kill.

Tears of the Kingdom… it’s a fun action adventure game, but if it has The Legend of Zelda on it, it needs to be held to The Legend of Zelda standards. And it, just like Breath of the Wild, is an awful Zelda game. If it didn’t have LoZ on it, I’d probably rate it much higher.

I was just a tech-obsessed teenager who thought it seemed cool. Messed around with it but since gaming was a pain in the ass I shelved it and went to Windows. Eventually administering Linux systems became my career.

Windows 11 is hot garbage. I haven’t had anything outright break, but with my hardware my machine should not be as slow as it is. Installed Ubuntu since it’s what I messed around with as a teenager and here we are.

However, now that gaming is even relatively painless in Linux, it’s here to stay on my personal desktop. A couple tools still require a Windows install but 90% of my usage is Linux and I don’t see that changing any time soon.

EDIT: I wouldn’t say I’m an evangel or anything. I don’t preach Linux to people, nor would I want to get my friends and family into it. The last thing I want to do is troubleshoot their botched install because they fucked around with system files and broke something.

I wouldn’t really say I’m obsessed either, it’s an OS. It allows me to actually do the things I want to do, and quickly. I enjoy it but I don’t plan on distro hopping, making low level tweaks, or anything. It just works and lets me work and play games. That’s good enough for me.
