  • I don't understand how this hasn't been solved yet. The new Texas Chain Saw Massacre game has had massive cheating problems. How is it 2023 but people haven't figured out anticheat yet? Also, how are game companies just not banning these users permanently when they are caught?

    I've heard all kinds of rumors about how the server side doesn't do any client traffic validation, et al. I'm a dev by trade so I'm not new to code, but game dev is all a black box to me.

  • They should be tested upstream of you, assuming you aren't using customized (eg roll your own) versions of any of the ancillary software (php, pgsql, redis, etc). Generally configs are either merged or not adopted, and you can restrict version upgrades to non major releases, if there's chances of breakages between them (eg moving from pgsql 9 to 10, etc).

  • Perform automatic updates and reboot when necessary.

    If one is serious about hosting this, it's best to isolate the services. One container or VM or reach service, with (probably) physical hosts for the DBs.

    Schema change is more involved, but backup then update. If you have read only db, it should sync the changes when reconnected.

    Realistically, federated data will be re-sent if the recipient doesn't respond, so a few minutes of downtime is not the end of the world. At least that's how mastodon works - not sure about Lemmy but I'm presuming it operates in a similar fashion.

  • Yeah it seems like it's grown organically from a POC, which I think is sort of what Lemmy did too. I feel like this concept is ripe for a platform which has been designed from the start then implement.

  • How is it so easy to create spam accounts with Kbin? What kind of account validation is implemented? Email? Enforced 2FA? Just a curious dev who hasn't started their own lemmy or Kbin instance yet.
