Thank you!

Thanks. This is new to me and I’m going to be looking into it.

No problem.

For my VPN, it tells me the forwarded port in the software’s GUI. I’m not sure how to find it out through the command line.

Thanks.

It’s my understanding that https provides encryption for the data sent between you and the server. If you’re not sending any sensitive data, then the encryption shouldn’t be necessary.

Don’t get me wrong, encryption is great even when it isn’t necessary. For my demonstration purposes though, I chose not to include it.

I also believe it’s possible to set up HTTPS encryption without a domain name, but it might result in that “we can’t verify the authenticity of this website” warning in web browsers due to using a self-signed certificate.

It’s not dumb at all! Don’t be afraid to ask. I’m not an expert and still learning myself.

The VPN is running on the same machine that I am hosting the website on. There may be some configuration you can do to perhaps have the connection routed through your raspberry pi with a VPN running on it to the machine that’s hosting the website, but I’m not sure how.

Otherwise, you should be able to at the very least run the entire setup on a raspberry pi.

I was able to run the server properly after building it with ./build -g. I can connect if I select the local server and therefore have localhost for ip address and ip management in the config.

If possible, I’d like to find out where I can put my VPN’s internal IP address (assuming that’s what I need) so I could have the server listen on that interface and let people connect to my server from the outside.

Thanks again for all your help and your contributions to this project.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

I’m glad I stopped expecting logic from you people.

Thanks. Now I’m getting validating 2009scape-master/docker-compose.yml: services.healthcheck additional properties 'timeout', 'interval', 'retries', 'test', 'start_period' not allowed when I run docker-compose up.

I’m using the repository at https://gitlab.com/2009scape/2009scape

I completely agree with you.

The whole atmosphere surrounding live shows is toxic as fuck. There are literally millions of useful idiots eager to get ripped off so they can fit in with each other.

It’s a force that logic can’t fight back against. We live in a world of morons, and seeing them get taken advantage of in this way is something we should just get used to.

I’m not holding my breath expecting things to change. My generation certainly wasn’t the one to fix these problems.

Stop giving them money?

Seriously. Selling tickets doesn’t have to be a million-dollar affair.

Odds are the venues that you’re going to suck and exist to take advantage of people’s low standards and excess wealth.

Piracy

Who is the guy and how did he get that position?

I’m guessing he’s just a businessman that was hired based on connections or “credentials”? Does he have any connection with the free software space at all?

We need to keep scumbags like that as far away from the ecosystem as possible. They are leeches and will take advantage of our ignorance if we let them.

I have practically no respect for the gnome project at this point, so it wouldn’t surprise me if this guy was brought in because the gnome foundation wants to emulate proprietary software companies.

Looking at his list of contributions, he didn’t do much but probably sucked up a fat paycheck.

That makes a lot of sense.

I personally don’t like any kind of big moves in the free software space at this point. Anything that stands the test of time does so because it has the community backing it.

Whenever we put our faith into a company to do the work for us, it always ends up being really expensive and mediocre.

Don’t be fooled into thinking the rules of business stop applying when dealing with a Linux company. These people still care about profit above all else and will never do anything that would get in the way of maximizing it.

There’s a point where we have too many options and the space becomes too fragmented and inconsistent because everyone is doing their own thing instead of improving what others made.

I don’t think we reached that with DEs, but if they don’t maintain this one then it’s kind of going to just be a waste of time and resources that could’ve been spent improving a different one.

Time will tell. DEs are massive undertakings and they have a lot of catch up to do.

Have you tried using emulators? They’re a great start and can show you how to easily get some usage out of your computer.

If you have a controller, I recommend giving it a shot. There are plenty of emulators out there. Just pick a console you like and you can get games for free at vimm.net

Docker is annoying as fuck. Don’t blame yourself for not getting it to work.

Bottles is also annoying as fuck.

These two things aren’t really a sign of your skill. The first one (docker) is unfortunately super prevalent these days because of memes and bandwagoning. It has its use, but it’s also used in many places where it’s not needed without providing a comparable means to run software without docker. It sucks how newbies who are just trying to get a program to work all of a sudden have to learn a bunch of docker bullshit. Just another layer of crap to make things harder to learn while the creators jerk themselves off.

Running Windows games on Linux will always be a pain in the ass because you’re trying to run complicated, sometimes very old, software that straight up was not designed to be run on Linux! I’ve been doing it for years and it’s still a pain in the ass. Some games only work with Lutris, some require very specific settings. It’s all a mess and I don’t ever expect a Windows game to work unless I’ve gotten it to work recently and played it a bunch.

It’s not your fault. It’s not Linux’s fault. This is the price that we all collectively get to pay for not doing things right the first time.

In short, don’t lose hope. You’re doing fine.

Doing what’s right doesn’t always mean doing what’s easy.

Yeah, the soccer industry is full of some of the scummiest people on earth.

There’s a lot of money to be made off of idiots who don’t know any better for doing pretty much nothing.

You can play multiplayer games with LAN support together for free using a program like Hamachi.

Use a free VPN (https://riseup.net/en/vpn) to download the game for free. I usually go for fitgirl repacks if they’re available. Then you and your buddies can connect to the same ‘server’ using Hamachi and play together.

I recommend doing this with the new Halo collection and Baldur’s Gate 3 so you can see it’s possible, even with new and advanced games.

Brains > wallets, don’t be a corporate simp.
