Yeah, I have firewall set up to disallow everything except whitelisted ports, so my system was never in jeopardy. Maybe I should have mentioned that in my original post.

That's the problem with the definition of "healthy". No single food is "healthy" on it's own. It's a wrong way to look at it and why most people fail at finding a good diet. There's no super food you can just eat unlimited amounts of.

A diet can be healthy if it's the nutrient combination of different foods that result in certain number of calories, protein, fat, carbs, minerals and vitamins per unit of time.

I presume users lost access to everything.

The question is "can anyone". Makes you wonder why the USA hasn't built one? Maybe the latest technology required some rare discovery. Just like nobody can replicate the taste of Coca Cola, maybe there some tiny detail that they discovered by experimenting.

If they are spies, they are taking their time to use the data for sure. I run servers with them since 2009 or so. That's 17 years.

I feel like the whole password thing was meant as a protection against SPAM or using servers for nefarious purposes as they know who's really behind every server.

Although, I can also see how real criminals would work around that easily by supplying fake identities. Sounds like one of those "why we can't have nice things". Well, at least the password I gave them 17 years ago has expired since.

I think I could if I had one. My engine uses SDL2 and I developed it using macOS initially. In fact, I had a working build until about 6 months ago, when I replaced my old High Sierra install with Debian. It's an old Intel MacBook Pro, but the game compiles on Android and Nintendo Switch as well, so I think it should work on newer Apple Silicon as well.

It's possible if you have wide or deep domain knowledge. Back in 2007 I made a Q&A website related to the open source FirebirdSQL database with around 350 articles in about one month. Although, those were very short and I had a huge archive from a mailing list with multiple years of questions and answers to source from.

10 months is a long time. You can write one article per day and do it easily.

Angel Investor Simulator:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4771830/Angel_Investor_Si...

You bid against other investors in a show similar to the Shark Tank and then you assign advisors to help the startup grow and finally cash out after IPO.

The ideas that startups have are wacky for the fun factor, but the economic simulation underneath is realistic.

There will be a free playable demo soon.

The rabbit hole started as a major P2P issue in Israel and possibly other middle east countries and further investigations revealed it seems to be a worldwide problem.

The default NGINX PHP integration uses this:

    # regex to split $uri to $fastcgi_script_name and $fastcgi_path
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
    set $path_info $fastcgi_path_info;

Surprised nobody mentioned Fish Fillets 2, which is a top 3 puzzle game imho.

My list:

    1. Antichamber
    2. Fish Fillets 2
    3. Baba is You
    4. Ittle Dew (esp. the Master Dungeon)
    5. An Architect's Adventure
    6. Cosmic Express
    7. Talos Principle
    8. Stephen's Sausage Roll
    9. Portal
    10. Cocoon

If the extension does something that isn't changing, like JSON Formatting, I guess it's best to disable updates right after you install it.

I just did this for all extensions I have in Firefox. Not sure about extensions like uBlock though? Doesn't it fetch new lists of sites to block or something like that? Or is that done separately from updates?

+1 from me.

Motorola has such great quality/price ratio and the user experience is decent. There's still some nagging and such but overall it's much better than the competition.

But I still can't get over my old iPhone 6. That phone size was just perfect. Easy to hold and do everything with one hand, easy to fit into any pocket.

I really want an Android like that. I don't need 3 cameras and bunch of other nonsense.

HN has no Markdown, but you can start each line with 2 spaces to format code:

Funny that you picked == as an example when == is very counter intuitive in Java and is one of the common pitfalls for beginners:

    String a = new String();
    String b = new String();
    a = "test";
    b = a + "";
    
    if (a == "test")
    {
        // true
    }

    if (b == "test")
    {
        // false
    }

    if (a == b)
    {
        // false
    }
        

Does Roblox run on Linux?

Only if you do it on the same computer. The restriction is still there if you try to, for example, run one game on your PC and another on Steam Deck.

does Steam still disallow accounts from playing more than one independently owned game at a time without special procedures?

Yes. I just tried launching one game on Steam Deck and another one on my desktop and it showed a message:

Error - Steam: You are logged in on another computer already playing Railbound. Launching Clutchtime™: Basketball Deckbuilder here will disconnect the other session from Steam.

Not really. It still has a library level lock. What Steam Families has enabled is to play games from each other's libraries at the same time. For example, if my account has a game A, and your has a game B, I can play the game B while you play the game A. This used to be disabled before.

You still cannot play a game C from my library while I play the game A from my own library.

The only way to be able to play any game you want would be to create a separate account for each game.

Same for Play Store. I have 2 games and I keep getting offers all the time. The last one offered $2000 for the developer account or a $100 monthly rent.

From their email pitch:

We’re now offering from $500 to $2000 for a one-time purchase of a developer account that includes apps, or a rental deal starting from $100.

No hidden conditions — quick process, secure agreement, and immediate payment upon verification.

We’re simply looking for reliable accounts to publish our client apps quickly, and yours could be a perfect match.

VVVVVV is very simple game but exceptionally well made. Tight controls coupled with interesting level layouts made it both a puzzle to solve (how to do a section) and then required dexterity to execute it.

And music in this game is top tier.

I remember getting it in a bundle which I bought for some other game, and VVVVVV turned out to be my favorite.

I think they probably got a batch of these really cheap in the first place, because those servers were offered without the setup fee initially. It was during the soccer World Cup in Germany.

I cannot find the link now, but it was mentioned that it was ASRock mobos.

Do Hetzner servers even run IPMI?

For dedicated servers, you have to schedule KVM access in advance, so I assume they need to move some hardware and plug into to your server.

This would mean that IPMI is most likely not available or disabled.

I have two AX42's. One has been stable since I got it during the Eurocup discount period. The other got replaced 2 times so far, but it looks like the latest replacement is holding up. So, it's like 50% failure rate based on my small sample. I guess only Hetzner and ASRock know the real numbers.

Relative.

For example, the page:

https://website/blog/1-post

contains:

href="2-post"

Browsers and other bots like Google Bot correctly interpret this as a link to

I wonder is there some way to report this bug to them?

I built a Home Inventory software back in 2006 called Attic Manager:

https://guacosoft.com/attic/

In the first few years it only sold a couple of copies per quarter, but then Intuit decided to discontinue support for their Quicken Home Inventory programs and users got stuck. I added the ability to import that data and then the sales started doing well. It has tapered off in the past three years but I still get some months over $500 during the year. I haven't really done any marketing, as it's just a Home Inventory program I made for myself, to keep track of stuff when we were moving to a new home.

As far as I know, Attic Manager is still the only program which can load QHI data.

Looks like AI is becoming a perfect excuse to do whatever you like.

It's like having a dangerous dog that usually doesn't bite, but you really cannot know if it will change its mind one day. Do you just let such dog walk the streets without owner supervision?

Agreed. Promising stuff like "Hey we built this because everything else is bad" and then years later selling it to a company that turns it bad is somehow even worse than classic bait and switch.

Vultr has hard limits by default.

Hetzner also for CPU use, and last time I checked the traffic would drop to slower bandwidth if you pass some limit. I think they still charge you, though.
