Please keep working on it, thank you for your effort.

I think https://masto.host/ offers what you want, you can pay to host mastodon. I haven’t seen the same for Lemmy.

It's gotta be Jeremy Parish and his many videos. just super informative.

There's so many providers, and they don't always make it clear when they change hardware. Amazon AWS feels pretty open about it, they are good. I doubt the resource you are looking for will ever exist. You won't be able to make a purchase decision with all the info you want.

Having said that, you did bring a ton of resources together in this post, thank you for that!

Excellent quality of life feature!

Hey pick something light and easy to make progress on, no grinding RPGs please!

You're the admin of Lemmy.World? Thanks for hosting this place. What got you into self-hosting?

subs are coming back online and not saying ANYTHING about the next steps

I think it's a "pick your battle" kind of thing. People don't want to spend a large amount of timing fighting about a website. The fight is worth different amounts to different people. Those who set their subreddit to private did their part to voice their disagreement. People know that they can't really control Reddit. Either people will go back to it, or they will move on to something else like Lemmy or the other options. I won't get mad at those who re-open their subreddits, there is more to Reddit than it killing the 3rd party apps. I'll stay here at Lemmy and contribute to it so it's a good option for others, I hope more will join us here, but let's not hate people for their choice of website or how dedicated they are to online protests.

Thanks for the summary, I haven't heard of it. Sounds similar to kanboard, I'll check it out.

Tildes? Got any pointers to that one?

It's a pretty lame situation. I used to have a big collection, but I sold 95% at the beginning of the pandemic when I realized I just don't play them. I'm more likely to emulate, even stuff that I own. Game collecting is different from game playing and it's almost like a separate hobby with a lot of overlap. It's a bummer for people who want to have a cool thing and can't have it.

OpenAPI is pretty great. At my last job, we had a code generator to build part of the backend based on OpenAPI spec file, so we always knew the spec was accurate, couldn't have routes or parameters that weren't in the spec.

OpenAPI has been around for donkeys years

Lol wut

Co-recursive is excellent, I enjoy it a lot

Execute program is another online learning tool that teaches SQL. I have used it for typescript lessons and like it a lot.

Yep, I love his energy and positive attitude. Feels like he slowed down on releasing videos

I didn't see the diff command last time, thanks for that. It still feels like a miss for fossil to host a web view and forum but not a pull request-like section.

Some issues I've seen, mostly related to interactions with mastodon. I generally use Mastodon more so I've been playing with it.

1. I can follow a lemmy community on my mastodon account but all the posters do not show their avatar. (actually i just checked again and my avatar shows up, but others don't, so perhaps there is a long delay?)

2. I replied to a lemmy post on mastodon, and it showed up in lemmy, but when I'm logged in to lemmy and I try to post a reply to that it never publishes, the "post" button becomes the spinner and never makes the reply. This post for reference. This is the only one that feels like a bug.

3. when someone on another lemmy instance makes a post on our community, a mastodon toot goes out, but it links to their post on their community. It makes it a little odd to follow a link and it takes me to another instance than the one hosting the community. Maybe this isn't a bug, just kinda annoying, kinda fediverse in general it's tough to bounce between instances. Example. Ok making that link, it's clear that the "post" originated from the instance. I guess this is just how it works. Message Board systems are a bit more tricky than twitter-style systems.

4. When I make a post, it's got a warning Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content. and I have no idea what this is talking about.

5. I wish the community page would let me sort the rows by Subscribers.

Yep, the simpler the pitch, the better. Lemmy gets caught up in the tech chat because federation is a cool technical detail, but casual people just want a community. Let them learn about the tech after they are set up with an account and place to interact with others.

Ah, I'm not on Twitter so haven't heard that. But he had a big video about changing patreon & trying to be more productive! Well, I hope they come back strong when they are ready, very good quality stuff from the SSFF crew.

Game Boy tetris has always been my favorite version. Check out the Rosy Retrospection romhack for the GB game with some nice quality-of-life improvements.

I've used the Gamesir X2 and it works well. Only issue is I can't have my phone case on at the same time, so I have to take it off. I think I have the 2nd revision, there is a 3rd one out now last I heard.

I've heard vita has slowdown on some GBA, SNES games, do you experience that?

I like this idea. I've been self hosting using A VPS cloud server, but this is a great reason to do something in my home.

Very cool video, and respect to The Gaming Historian, he does quality work.

• Puzzle Games
  • Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo (GBA, other platforms)
  • Puzzle League (GBA, paired with Dr Mario same cart)
• Roguelikes
  • Dragon Crystal (Sega Master System, GG too)
  • Shiren the Wanderer (Nintendo DS, others too)

I find puzzle & roguelikes the best for just diving in for a little bit and not worrying about when you drop off.

I think it's cool they are using myBB, I'm a big fan for that style of community.

Looks great in the video. A super short clip of the battle system, is it still first person view? I would be interested in this if it goes on Stream or PS4.

In general, I'm a fan of games getting remakes to keep them available.

Jeremy Parish has a whole video series about the system if, like me, you never heard of it: https://jeremy-parish-fanclub.neocities.org/video_series/segaiden

I'm not much of an 8-bit gamer but it's cool to hear about these early consoles. The general narrative is that the Famicom ruled in Japan, but it had some competition and it's interesting to see what other companies released.

Metroid: Zero Mission is my favorite these days since I recently beat it for the first time. Now I jump into it every few days and enjoy just running around and attacking and bombing and stuff.

I haven't heard of that festival, was it good? I need to go to a retro show one day.

Are cartridge dumpers tough to get? I never thought of trying to dump my items before I sold them. You should make a post about the dumpes & using them, I don't hear about them much.

Any forums you recommend?

I think it can keep going up.

Look for some rom hacks to make things easier, or figure out cheats for quick level gain, etc. Older RPGs have a lot of grind and I'm just not into that anymore.

I originally looked in SRPG/Tactical RPGs because I wanted the battles to be fewer & more meaningful. Check out Disgaea 1 on the PSP, it's the best I've found of this.

Hey /u/Mac if you know more can you expand? I understand it's asking me to pick a language, I just don't understand the warning. If i'm posting in english, it seems I should pick "english", but the warning makes it sound like i'll be missing out if I do that. What would I miss out on? What does it mean to "not see most content"? Why even have an option then? It's just super unclear what happens.

How fast are you able to get through the Final Fantasy games? I stay away from them, I can't commit a lot of time to a game. But they are so big in the industry, I really need to pick one and get through it.

I checked out fossil once and looks like it doesn’t have an equivalent to Pull Request so I moved on. It wasn’t clear how anyone could begin to be a contributor to a project if I host on fossil.

Is there an equivalent of "going dark" in lemmy? Like if there is some "global" or "fediverse" issue that communities want to protest, is there the same option as back on Reddit that they are using now?

Self hosting music is still on my TODO list, I'll check this out later. BTW, what is Scrobbling?
