That doesn't answer the question, they asked if it's open source. I agree, I don't want to replace one sketchy data-harvesting service with another, I'd be a lot more comfortable giving shutup10 control of my system if it was on github or gitlab.

Worth noting that Steam doesn't track playtime for non-Steam games. So this doesn't include Minecraft, Retroarch, or anything purchased through Itch, GOG, or Epic.

True... the trouble with open source is that nobody's getting paid to add features you want, huh.

It seems like ring finger paddle buttons are becoming a controller staple. I know of these, what are some others?

Clone an existing button only:

  • 8BitDo Pro 2 (P1, P2)
  • PS4/PS5 controller with remap kit from ExtremeRate (K1, K2, K3, K4)

Treated by Steam as an entirely new button:

  • Steam Controller (L4, R4)
  • Paired joy-cons (left SL, SR; right SL, SR)
  • Steam Deck (L4, L5, R4, R5)
  • Xbox Elite (P1, P2, P3, P4)
  • Dualsense Edge (LB, RB)

I use a modded PS5 controller on PC. I've found for most purposes, clone-binding R4 to Cross/A and L4 to Square/X is good enough, as that allows me to crouch and jump while also running and turning with the thumbsticks. But it'd be really cool if I could remap these buttons steam-side, instead of needing to clone an existing button controller-side.

I love the idea of the fediverse, but the killer feature of reddit is its search results, and so far there doesn't seem to be much of a public search for lemmy/mastodon. What are some search-friendly sites I could spend my time and money on?

Ideally I would like a spigot plugin that makes the game pretend it's "daytime" for the purpose of mob spawns, even at night. If this isn't possible, I would also settle for a fabric mod that disables hostile spawns above sea level. Does this exist?

My use case is a "semi-peaceful" server; I want to make sure it's always safe to explore the surface so that players don't get ambushed by mobs when logging in at night, but I don't want to completely remove hostile spawns because it would make some items and blocks unobtainable. I suppose a worst-case-scenario option would be to set the server to Peaceful mode and add crafting recipes for the missing mob drops?

I honestly don't care about VR headsets or full-body tracking right now, but I would love to have a controller that's split into two pieces like the wiimote/nunchuck duo or the joy-cons. I know Steam can connect to actual joy-cons, but the bluetooth range on official joy-cons is pretty bad, and I haven't had any luck getting third-party joy-cons to connect. Can anyone recommend me a controller? I've been looking at the HTC Vive controller, does that do what I want? My most played games are PlateUp, Stardew Valley, and Minecraft.

if you like the in-world smelting system, try NodeCore! It's open source, low system requirements, and is very "back to basics".

the DispenserRobots plugin has a really neat take on server-only automation. Dispensers can break blocks, but they require a timed pulse, at least as long as a player would have to click. So a wooden tool requires a longer pulse than an iron one, for instance. This "timed pulse" trick also means that you can have axes both strip logs and break logs, depending on whether they receive a short or a long pulse.

I'm currently building a Fabric + Geyser setup (so server-side mods only), and I'm wondering if there's anything remotely like this in the fabric ecosystem.

Basically, repeat the experiment under a wide range of conditions, and show that the conditions for success, if any, are far beyond the original claim. I always loved the 'mythbusters' approach: if one bible can't stop a bullet, how about two bibles? ten? where is the cutoff between true and false?

Updated my self-hosting tutorial based on suggestions from last time. The biggest change is the new chapter on network security. If anyone out there is a security nerd I'd love your feedback! I tried to strike a balance between playing it safe and getting something into production.

If I were him I'd stand by that defense. It's a carefully worded and sane defense. He's not defending child abuse, he's saying, extremely clearly and plainly, that possession of evidence is not the same as committing abuse, and that the law shouldn't use possession as a scapegoat. Which, given that every attempt to censor the internet in the last 10 years has started with "protect the children", I'd say he was trying to cut that tactic off at the head.

Hear hear! I thought I didn't like the fediverse because Mastodon did such an awful job selling it to me. "Oh, I can't view other instances' local timelines without making accounts on them? What's even the point of federation then?" But on Lemmy you can easily browse communities outside your own instance. So it's not the fediverse's fault, Mastodon just doesn't have a clear audience.

And yeah, I can see how a lot of Mastodon's features are "privacy-focused", but I think it does TOO good a job, it's so private that you can't find anything!

in a word, intersectionality. you're getting people who were already looking for an excuse to ditch reddit and twitter, and of that group, you're selecting the ones with the most tech literacy. That tends to overlap people with progressive politics.

I add .env to my .gitignore, then I can safely put secrets in my .env. If you have a big .env file, make a sample.env with the secrets removed.

I'm writing my own novice guide to setting up a home server, the stuff I wish I'd been told when I started. Would love feedback from beginners on how useful this is, as well as feedback from veteran self-hosters on how accurate this is, and I welcome suggestions from anyone about what I should add next.

update: tweaked the introduction a bit, corrected title to match header, added note about podman-compose v1.0.6 incompatibility.

update: major update, v0.9.2 here

I feel like "has children" probably correlates with "has stable income", which makes this classism by another name.

There's an unofficial Bedrock launcher in Discover, it usually works for me! That being said I've had better luck running Java with a controller mod like Controllable. I run Geyser on my server so both clients work!
