The games cost like $2 on Steam. They probably lost money doing this if anything especially since they gave it away free to people who bought the previous releases.

It's a weird take from someone kind of uninformed. The assumption that the company would base the release off of the GPL'd version and not the original source code is odd. Also, the claim that it's Windows only when it's cross platform so....?

The original MS-DOS versions are still directly playable too.

When you launch, you get a prompt from Steam asking if you want to run this new rerelease or the original MS-DOS versions.

It's an upgrade to the DOOM (1993) and DOOM II versions on Steam currently, which usually are only $2-3 each from what I remember.

This is exactly why for everything fediverse, I only run my own.

Is River City Girls 2 any better than the first game, which I thought was okay but seemed a bit unresponsive in terms of control?

Not having a problem with this on my personal instance yet, but I've had to disable DASH because it takes forever to watch anything when it's on these days.

Code is already stored, it's just not public.

An explanation of what SimHub is might be a good idea.

Games back then took 20 people. Now, upwards of 2000 for modern AAA games. It's nowhere near the same.

People also used RHDN as a news source to find out about new hacks and translation releases, and it was the best resource for doing that. And it sounds like it still will be going forward, so... I disagree with you on that.

Your logic works if you assume that we are making games at the same scale and the same way we were 15-20 years ago.

I thought it was NOT shutting down and is instead turning into 100% a news site only?

The one and only thing keeping me on Chrome... well, Ungoogled Chromium... is the webassembly performance which is just abysmal in comparison on Firefox, sadly.

By the way, running synapse - docker or not - is a challenge. It can be very complex especially if you are interested in adding gateways to other services and such. Attempting to use https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy might be a better choice as even though it is A LOT, it has a ton of good documentation and you can grow with it as it can help you install various different Matrix servers, gateways and clients as well.

Good luck, hope to hear more about how you get on with it.

It took a little time to get the hang of it, but stick with it and it will get so much easier and it'll make self-hosting anything you want less of a pain in the future.

As it says in the image, the file is /data/homeserver.yaml. Your other questions are all answered by looking at the way the file is formatted.

Uh... yeah, those are assumptions I made because I went through it entirely myself previously so... yeah.

So you added the secret to the file and restarted the docker container, right?

Something that I think will help you with self-hosting in the future is to always read through the entire process for setting up whatever you want to set up first, beginning to end, so that you are familiar with what you need to do before attempting it the first time. It's helped me numerous times myself.
