The software to run a server for a game is different from the client software. I have to buy Minecraft to be able to download and use the client, but the server is freely available for anyone to host their own server.

Developers almost always release their server software for free if they offer it. The user is providing a service to the developer by offering another server for the community to use without the developer having to pay for it. There’s no reason to charge for it.

You can even password protect your server and put it behind a patreon or other exclusive membership, but it’s hard to compete with free servers. You have to offer some kind of special experience.

Everything you’re complaining about has been common practice in the PC space for decades.

NixOS gang, you here?

No? Guess I’m here alone. Meme checks out.

NodeCore is another great Minetest game. I haven’t been able to find a game that matches the feeling of discovery it provides as you learn about the rules of the world.

This isn’t really a Windows vs Linux issue as far as I’m aware. It was a bad driver update made by a third party. I don’t see why Linux couldn’t suffer from the same kind of issue.

We should dunk on Windows for Windows specific flaws. Like how Windows won’t let me reinstall a corrupted Windows Store library file because admins can’t be trusted to manage Microsoft components on their own machine.

All EVs come with Level 1 chargers that plug in to your standard house outlet, NEMA 5-15R. If there’s an outlet nearby you can charge your car.

That can still be difficult for apartment renters, but there’s no need to modify your house.

It’s the wind turbines knocking the water out of the sky!

I’ll give you a hint: Arr!

Do you use the Infinitime firmware? I remember weather display being fairly limited back when I tried.

They just said that to “drive engagement”.

Unacceptable, he has to play The Boulder.

.localhost is already reserved for the loopback, per RFC 2606, but I agree with you in general. A small network shouldn’t have to have a $10-15/year fee to be compliant if they don’t want to use a domain outside their network.

As other posters have mentioned, .lan .home .corp and such are so widely used that ICANN can’t even sell them without causing a technical nightmare.

Yes, you’re right, RFC 6762 proposes reserving .local for mDNS. I was not aware of this until you brought it up, hence the dangers of using using TLDs not specifically designated for internal use.

I believe he was wearing pants like someone who has to perform a depantsing skit in a play.

Very few as this ruling would reserve .internal for local DNS only and forbid it at the global level. This is ICANN’s solution to people picking random .lan .local .internal for internal uses. You’ll be able to safely use .internal and it will never resolve to an address outside your network.

Bed adhesion, nozzle clogging, inconsistent extrusion. It was always some issue and it was difficult to figure out the root cause. I kept buying better parts to try and fix things but at some point I decided to cut my losses. Truthfully I don’t know if it was my fault or the printer’s.

It’s comforting to know I’m not alone. My Ender3 was a money sink that just kept getting worse. I have no idea why they’re praised so commonly.

I find myself commenting more frequently on Lemmy as well. I attribute it to there being less comments in general so less has already been said. By the time a post shows my reddit feed there’s already hundreds of comments and the discussion is already pretty well laid out. At that point I don’t really have anything meaningful to add.

There’s a variation of Pop Goes the Weasel:

“All around the cobbler’s bench The monkey chased the weasel; The monkey thought 'twas all in fun, Pop! Goes the weasel.”

So the monkey is the victim of the popping by the weasel for being chased. I’m not sure if there’s a deeper meaning to the mulberry bush though.

It does exist, see qbitorrent and similar apps. Torrents already fill the usecase you’ve defined: decentralized sharing of arbitrary files. The main problems being the central exchange and the need for seeders.

The bigger the central exchange (torrent tracker) the more susceptible you are to both internal and external threats, but you need to be big because bigger means more seeders and more content.
