Ah, that would make sense. I could definitely see that being annoying, especially considering the sheer number of users on that instance.
What's the reason for defederating from them? Aren't they like the original Masto instance? What kind of moderation issues are going on there?
Fair point. I can't really think of any games that have done that, either. Interesting that there haven't been more physics sandbox style open worlds, come to think of it....
There are two distinct things I could want when searching for stuff on [Insert Search Engine Here]:
-
Niche "Expert" Opinion: If I am trying to figure out what maple syrup to buy, I am not going to go to someone's advertised maple syrup blog with sponsored posts and a bajillion ads. I am going to go to r/maplesyrup. While they might all be snobby dudes with highly opinionated takes, I at least know it's from people who care enough to be angry about maple syrup on reddit. And most of the time, they give good advice that will point me towards an informed purchase.
-
Troubleshooting: Reddit has great troubleshooting threads imo. If I threw my issue into the search engine, and I didnt get a Stack Overflow response, I could add reddit and someone will have at least asked a relevant question before. Sooooooo many of my issues have been assisted in the people asking questions on reddit.
Both of these things I think needs to be replicated elsewhere, especially the Niche "Experts". I would love for my searches to end in "lemmy" or "kbin" or whatever ends up winning, as long as its a federated platform
It took me 3 attempts at starting The Witcher before I eventually got through it. I had just came off of Dark Souls 3 combat, so the combat in Witcher was especially clunky feeling. Eventually I moved into a new home, had nothing else to do, and proceeded to do nothing but play the game for 50 hours until I beat the game lol. I would say the story is worth it, but I agree that its kinda tough to get into.
it's pretty cobbled together, but ive got a docker swarm that runs the following:
- Portainer to allow for fairly easy CI/CD worflows with Gitlab
- Plex Stack
- Plex
- Radarr
- Sonarr
- Jackett
- qbittorrent
- VPN
- Deemix for downloading music
- Authentik for SSO
- AWX for my automation
- Budibase for a local Go club I run
- A discord bot setup with CI/CD for a friend
- Foundry VTT
- a gitlab runner for local CI jobs
- An comic strip to RSS scraper I wrote
- MongoDB for Budibase
- Nextcloud
- Onlyoffice server
- PiHole
- Shlink URL shortener
- Traefik and Caddy for reverse proxies
- Uptime Kuma for basic monitoring
- Minecraft Server
- Ark Server
- Frigate NVR
On its own Pi4 I have Homeassistant
What things would that be? Im trying to think of something that hasnt been replicated / improved in another game, but I am drawing a blank personally.
Indeed! I think I did it right this time, lmao.
Embarrassing 😭 lmao. Set it up too quickly. Well ill move it over and update the links
Updated the post with a full link incase the otherone doesnt work. The first one seems inconsistent, but the 2nd should always work.
No problem! Glad to help!
What's the saying? If you can't tell if it's ignorance or malice, it's probably the former?
however, with all of these points, even if it is ignorance, the lying about encryption (even though I don't really use it) is upsetting. That plus the other lies I've seen them pull is enough to make me consider switching to something else.
Got any recs? Lol
