You just hate pants eh?

I can respect that

I think at this point maybe Embracer should try replacing Lars Wingefors with ChatGPT instead

Heheh, stupid pillow.

It is very doable.

Take a look at https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun - it’s what I use for this.

Ahh, woah, I never thought about the huge address space would affect network scans and such.

With NAT on IPv4 I set up port forwarding at my router. Where would I set up the IPv6 equivalent?

I guess assumptions I have at the moment are that my router is a designated appliance for networking concerns and doing all the config there makes sense, and secondly any client device to be possibly misconfigured. Or worse, it was properly configured by me but then the OS vendor pushed an update and now it’s misconfigured again.

Getting flip flopped around like that on a timescale of weeks fucking sucks (I’ve been in that situation but not in game dev).

Just… being totally used and owned by an executive team that simultaneously wants to harness/abuse your passion, while also callously making snap judgements like this without any regard for respecting their people… it’s like “how to destroy morale 101”

Maybe I have Stockholm Syndrome, but I like NAT. It’s like, due to the flaws of IPv4 we basically accidentally get subnets segmented off, no listening ports, have to explicitly configure port forwarding to be able to listen for connections, which kinda implies you know what you’re doing (ssshh don’t talk about UPnP). Accidental security of a default deny policy even without any firewalls configured. Haha. I’m still getting into this stuff though, please feel free to enlighten me

Cue video with a thumbnail showing the @ symbol, a server, ICANN, Klaus Schwab in his university robe, and Gobekli Tepe

Nah it’s “hehe his handle sounds like bussy”

The real “hate” here is anti-GNOME developer hate lol

Same, it’s nice here. I don’t miss the old place at all (especially thanks to the Voyager PWA)

Fun fact: some cats practice zen meditation

This is hilariously silly, putting that on my Steam Wishlist hahaha

Yeah, I figured as much.

What a big brain move from their support team, lol

It’s bad enough when these companies are monopolistic and malicious. But monopolistic, malicious AND incompetent - argh, it’s just too much.

I lost my Minecraft account to this, but that’s because the email address I bought the game with was with Lavabit, and thus never was able to receive any of the emails. Couldn’t verify I owned it either because again, no access to the email address.

I was just a kid when I signed up for that Lavabit address sometime in the 2000s, a kid who was vaguely interested in the idea of privacy and software freedom (I used PPC Ubuntu on a G3 iBook btw). Bought Minecraft Alpha in 2010 for €10. Now because of time passing and some bullshit happening I don’t have access to any of it.

But tbh I never opened a support ticket or anything, because fuck Microsoft. Its the principle of the whole thing

Microsoft and Apple are both privacy-disregarding monopolistic megacorporations. The difference is Microsoft is slowly degrading in competence and their PR machine is no longer able to compensate

lol anything that does that shit = auto disqualify from even bothering to try it

me rn, why’d you have to post this

That would be cool.

I guess my AMD Bulldozer TV PC is gonna have to go in the ewaste bin though. Its already stretched to its limit running Linux Mint, Firefox, uBlock Origin and Sponsorblock as it is

I get the sense that’s what .NET itself is meant to be

It’s a very insular ecosystem IMO, and the lines between .NET, C# and Visual Studio are very blurry

Where you’re at now sounds particularly bad, but having worked fully remotely for a few years myself, it definitely isn’t guaranteed to be better for your work-life balance. It’s difficult to separate the two spheres for one thing, and you can still end up in a situation where you may get requests, messages and pings come through at any time, constantly.

I’ve worked for roughly half a dozen employers so far. In my experience an employer may SAY they value employee work-life balance, that’s no guarantee they actually will. They may also genuinely believe they prioritise it, but still fall hugely short of what other employers can offer.

Fuck burnout culture though. Also fuck teams that celebrate “heroes”
