  • Creating a "maintenance" page for my self-hosted sites

    Jump

  • That's a very elegant way of doing it! I need to do something similar with my setup one day. Having everything hosted in my home gives me the most control but also a lower availability than if I ran everything in someone else's datacenter. Currently an outage means that browsers and other clients just time out which is not very informative. Have you explored any other options? I was thinking of spinning up a dedicated VM somewhere to handle this and automatically switching over DNS entries at the same time (maybe automatically update DynDNS when the VM boots).

    WRT is this relevant to selfhosted: I think some people will disagree, but Cloudflare is still selfhosting. It's not localhosting, but as long as it's services that you provision yourself it's selfhosting.

  • Using an x86 emulator for Android (maybe GameNative or Limbo, I'm not very familiar with those) could work.

    It looks like there's also SNES, Nintendo 64, and PlayStation versions of the game which might be easier to find good Android emulators for.

  • Does this community include emulating older games on non-standard hardware?

    Jump

  • I stopped buying consoles quite a few years ago, it's only worth it if you want to play console exclusives. There's so many PC exclusive games though that there's always something else to play.

    Making your own emulator sounds like a fun project! Are you thinking of a software emulator or FPGA or what?

  • Definitely, yes! That a completely valid way of preserving games and keeping them playable in modern times.

  • Alberta café northeast of Edmonton closes after losing customers over separatist event

    Jump

  • This is actually quite similar to what happened to a local Ottawa business a few years ago https://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/stella-lunas-wellington-location-closes-its-doors

    TL;DR they supported the trucker convoy and then people stopped going to their two locations. They also got a newly-opened business in the same building kicked out. Both times they complained about the finding out part of FAFO. Eventually they closed two locations because they couldn't make money.

    It was actually the best thing, because now the city's best ice cream shop is in that location and has long lines every night. I just hope the convoy supporters would close their remaining location...

    why is it okay to curse out anybody from any religion and call them slurs dedicated to that religion except Islam?

    Jump

  • I respect, tolerate and love every single human being.

    But not their sin, or specific sinful/heretical ideogies If you respect people only when their values line up with your own ideologies, you've got no tolerance at all. "Sin" is defined by interpretation of the religion's canon, so it's not even remotely respectful to inflict your beliefs on other people. "Christian sin" can be defined as anything from christofascist and queerphobic to strictly the 7 deadly sins (and probably less). So let me ask, are you queerphobic or do you respect others' beliefs?

    There's also a few parts of the bible about non-believers, the most egregious is probably the part that calls for their death (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 and to some extent John 3:16). The quran also doesn't speak highly of non-believers, even if they believe in another Abrahamic religion (quran 3:3-4), so even you are guaranteed to be heretical. This contradiction allows anyone to be disrespectful of any others and it is never acceptable. As a deeply religious person, you should know how much blood has been spilt in a god's name and how little good has come from it.

    and “religion is not based on verifiable evidence” is false

    Christianity has a lot of evidence and people just like to ignore ALL of it because they would have to stop living a sinful lifestyle and tend to their Spirit and not constantly their flesh This would've been the natural time to actually provide evidence. Instead you accidentally just provided evidence to support my claim about your consistent lack of evidence in posts here.

    But to provide evidence: there's no proof of a god or god-like being with influence over our existence. There's also no proof to the contrary. Religious claims are inherently unverifiable otherwise they wouldn't be beliefs; they'd be fact.

  • I (regrettably) went through your profile and I see no evidence of what you're claiming in the OP. What I do see, though, is plenty of evidence that you like to make claims without evidence and then annoy people until they start cursing at you. It's simultaneously very Christian (religion is not based on verifiable evidence) and not very Christian (which preaches tolerance and respect) of you. My advice: lay off on the proselytising and you'll be better accepted by people who have differing opinions on religion.

  • Github repo fixed with D.eSystem 6.0.2 beta (My OS)

    Jump

  • Can you please learn how to use git or at least some source control software instead of creating a new (almost) empty repository every release? Pretty please with a cherry on top?

    If you're just going to include source code archives in the release instead of pushing them to the repo itself, you should at least disable the automatic source code archives. But you'd be better off not using a source control website at all if you're not going to use source control.

  • On one side, I get it. It really sucks to have to comply with all foreign laws just because you're hosting stuff on the Internet.

    On the other hand, fucking lol what a way to say you proudly love to track your users and refuse to face any consequences for it.

    Also, ironic for a company with "free" in their name to be so restrictive.
