  • It’s false equivalence to claim steam has a monopoly when you’re literally giving epic a monopoly on your games for financial kickbacks between yourselves that in the best case doesn’t impact the user and worst case actively compells them to a much worse platform. What epic and gearbox did is monopolistic, what steam did is just make a good enough product that no one gives a sh*t about EGS. If you want an actual competitive store front, make something your users want, not your business partners. Gog is struggling but it’s still my first goto for games because even if it’s missing all of steams functionality, it gives me ownership of games that can’t just be revoked or broken by publishers. That’s a value add I’m willing to pay for. Paying more so publishers can make more money and sell a worse experience through EGS ain’t moving me.







  • I recently played momodora 4. Fantastic game. But you need to finish about 50% of the game before unlocking fast travel and it… is… a… pain. Doesn’t help since its a metroidvania it can lock you off from certain areas and you just kinda need to explore until you find a path through. I ended up going back and forth the entire map 4 times before I just used a walk-through to get where I needed to. Fast travel should be available much sooner for this one. In the other games it varies but really it depends on how much value there is in backtracking.



  • As a programmer, I disagree. This isn’t the users fault, it’s the shells and filesystems for being too permissiv. Honestly the shell is a bad choice for pin point acting on files anyways. I say this as a heavy user but selecting files is the most annoying part of using the shell and the solution isn’t warping your filenames to make them easier to type without shell weirdness, it’s using tools built to prevent these issues. That can either be tab complete (with zsh it auto escapes shell characters) or a terminal file manager like lf.




  • In general yes. You can think of each container in a docker network as a host and docker makes these hosts discoverable to each other. Docker also supports some other network types that may not follow this concept if you configure them as such (for example if you force all containers to use the same networking stack as one container (I do this with gluetun so I can run everything in a vpn) all services will be reachable only from the gluetun host instead of individual service hosts).

    Furthermore services in a container are not exposed outside of it by default. You must explicitly state when a port in a container is reachable by your host (the ports: option).

    But getting back to the question at hand, what you’re looking for is a reverse proxy. It’s a program that accepts requests from multiple requested and forwards them somewhere else. So you connect to the proxy and it can tell based on how you connect (the url) whether to send the request to sonarr or radarr. http://sonarr.localhost and http://radarr.localhost will both route to your proxy and the proxy will pass them to the respective services based on how you configure it. For this you can use nginx, but I’d recommend caddy as it’s what I’m using and it makes setting up things like this such a breeze.


  • Not legal pressure, government pressure. They kept getting asked to disclose which accounts had which ports associated with then and share all the info on them they kept (which for some payment methods they do briefly). So they decided to remove the feature rather than potentially violate their founding principle of privacy and anonymity. Kudos to them. Of course f*ck the CSAM assholes who made the government get involved in this and cost us this feature.



  • I disagree with this almost on principle. GitHub was a mistake. We don’t need these large, bloated, isolated forges that are just going to be acquired and converted into social networks. Forgejo> is the future. Any new forge not even trying to support federation and independent hosting out of the box is dead in the water to me. You wanna build a github style accessible platform above forgejo go right ahead, the thing github did best was make all of this accessible.
