  • Oh no! I've been kidnapped!

    • python < shell (for scripts)

  • I think we some ed-ucation here

    • I only get 82% :( How much do you get?

  • Make that three!

    • Is there an open source game engine with visual scripting? or something?

    Jump

  • Honestly, I think biting the bullet and trying your hand at coding will be worth your time. Visual scripting typically fall into two camps: code but it is visual (in this case it is just slower, more cumbersome and harder to read) or limiting (this may be fine depending on your needs, but you may also outgrow it). A middleground could be coding where the vast majority is done for you. For example in Godot, there are many nodes that are fully built and just need your custom settings. There are even freely available nodes in the asset store if you need more. Then, if you need some behaviour that does not yet exist, you just code that little part, which will be a great learning experience in of itself.

    My biggest tip though, regardless of the approach you take, is keep it simple. Your first game should be ridiculously simple. For example, the first game I made was a 2d scroller spaceship shooter where there were only asteroids as "enemies". I could then add onto that to test my coding skills, and eventually it was fairly fun, even if it had simple roots.

    • It's not great

  • I don't post to GitLab because I use Gitea. We are not the same.

    • Backup software recommendation?

    Jump

  • Borg has worked well for me. Also supports compression, encryption and deduplication.

    • Agent Elrond

  • "My name is Bilbo!"

    • Official Minecraft wiki editors so furious at Fandom's 'degraded' functionality and popups they're overwhelmingly voting to leave the site

    Jump

  • I hadn't considered that previously, but I think that is a great idea!

    • What password manager do you recommend?

    Jump

  • pass would meet your requirements. It is a super simple implementation of a password manager levying PGP for encryption and git for syncing. You can therefore use any git server for syncing. There are browser extensions for autofill etc and scripts to import/export passwords etc.

    • The influx of Redditors has had a detrimental effect on Lemmy.

    Jump

  • I disagree. I was here before the migration and I really wanted to like it. However, there simply wasnt enough content and most threads were barren. Now, there are full deep discussions everywhere about loads of different topics. I've come back to a far better product than I previously experienced, despite a few more bad actors.

    • If you had to redo your self hosting setup, what would you do differently this time around?

    Jump

  • I would have taken a deep dive into docker and containerised pretty much everything.

    • Oh no. #Jerboa is crashing on launch after the update :(

    Jump

  • I found that clearing cache and data fixed it for me but ymmv

    • The Password Game

    Jump

  • Let me just say: screw Paul and his inability to pace himself when eating. I just gave him a bunch of food to satiate him and he decided to eat it all at once and die from overeating...

    Cool concept though!
