  • You went through the trouble of creating a new burner account to post this unconstructive garbage, wow. Starting to see a lot more of this pop up within the past few days. Show that you actually stand behind what you say, and post this from your main account instead so we can block you

  • Are you new to Minetest in general? The "mineclone2" game available in Minetest is almost exactly identical to minecraft 1.12 in terms of features, but with tons of things in the newer versions also implemented on top.

    The last time I used it, some things that were possible on a desktop were inaccessible via the touch input on Android, and needed a keyboard. Maybe things will be better with the hardware buttons though - wouldn't hurt to give it a try IMO

  • When your domain is close to running out, you should either get an email from your registrar asking you to renew, or a payment notification telling you that your domain will be renewed for whatever price automatically.

    If the payment fails, the domain will be temporarily suspended. There is a grace period where nobody can buy that domain, allowing you to settle the missed payment. If you do not settle the payment, the domain will be put back up for sale

    None of this affects whatever services you're running on your Pi, people just won't be able to connect to it if your domain is suspended.

    I'd suggest looking into SSL certificates (Letsencrypt is free) as well as Cloudflare for masking your Pi (your home) IP address from users of your instance - do note this has privacy implications: cloudflare becomes a MITM for your site

    Freenom is being sued by Meta (Facebook) at the moment for supposedly not dealing with spam domains. I would not recommend using a Freenom domain if/when they reopen registrations: FMHY had their old Freenom lemmy instance domain seized by Mali's government

  • It's a bit crappy that manufacturers have managed to essentially force us into a subscription for our home appliances, by making self repair uneconomical and expensive, almost guaranteeing a replacement every 4-5 years.

    The repair contract on my washing machine is about to run out, and that thing has been serviced many times at this point. Once for a blown mainboard, burnt out motor, and other miscellaneous issues that some of the techs haven't been able to identify, having to return again with more bits.

    At least I have a spare mainboard now and the last tech fitted a brand new motor, which is way quieter than the horrifically loud original one

  • Neat.

    I have a hand-me-down NES from a relative that sadly passed away, console works a treat but at some point within the past decade the cartridge batteries went flat. Finally have the gamebit driver to replace them but the gear is all packed away at the back of my storage cupboard...

  • My partner has a bunch of AC games and it's pretty much a ritual at this point to delete the launch screen logo files from the game's data folder.

    For other games like CS, there's a flag to bypass the whole launcher which is really nice 👌 if only more games did that

  • Steam also releases pretty cool stuff, and continues to support them way after release... My steam link got an update about three weeks ago, despite being discontinued back in 2018

    Also, the steam link can run custom apps (like Moonlight for those who would want to use it for generic low latency streaming without a Steam account) and has the ability to enable a SSH server and root access. There are some limits though on what things you can modify, particularly relating to the boot sequence and the included kernel, as it has a hardware secure boot implementation. The OS is on GitHub anyway.

    I will happily give my money to companies like this that actually provide value to their users, even years after the fact. Doubly so if they are domestic or western - it is so rare nowadays to find a western company that isn't blatantly and purely leeching their users

  • Incandescent bulbs don't visibly immediately transition to a harsh on/off state like LEDs do when operating at the same frequency.

    Incandescent bulbs are still burning and emitting light during that brief period of "off" time, and CRTs have a similar "effect" that allow the interlaced lines to display smoothly on the screen AFAIK, although I will admit CRT flicker is much more noticeable

  • Don't most planes fly almost entirely on automated systems nowadays? The pilots mainly handle takeoff, landing, and monitoring the instuments if i'm not mistaken.

    That said, remote controlling a plane of any kind seems like a very, very bad idea, cargo or not. If the 737 Max prevented pilots controlling the plane from the actual cockpit, I'd not like to think about what a similar plane would do in the event of a poor radio control signal and faulty instrumentation

  • They must have swapped roles at some point, Elementary lets you minimize windows the last time I checked (use toolbar or gesture), and GNOME doesn't 😂

    I honestly don't mind lack of visual customization as long as the design language makes sense, is clear, is consistent, and applies to all the system apps and default utilities. In the case of Elementary and GNOME this is OK IMO because they are ridiculously consistent, and share some similarities
