The Stanley Parable is a meta game - a game about playing and making games. And there you are having fun not playing a game…
- Comment on Help with understanding memory usage discrepancy 4 days ago:
If that’s the case you should look into your swappiness settings. You can set this to zero meaning the swap will only be used if you’re actually out of memory, but as others have noted that is maybe not a healthy decision…
- Comment on How to (safely) create a Lemmy community server? 4 days ago:
Didn’t know that. I agree it is a terrible name, but maybe that’s why it is safe from any cease and desist orders…

Are you maybe looking for something like Revolt or Spacebar?
- Comment on Hytale is OUT NOW in early access! 1 week ago:
I fear that early access will kill this. Sure it will provide some money that might pay for the rest of the development, but streamers will play it now - der that it is literally work in progress in vast parts and maybe take another look once it finally releases, but the hype will be gone at the release.
- Comment on Hytale is OUT NOW in early access! 1 week ago:
But Minecraft - even in the Beta days - worked as a complete game. They have been improving (depending on how you like the changes) on it since, but it wasn’t ever filled with literal work in progress signs like Hytale is…
- Comment on Cheapest way to back up a *lot* of data? 1 week ago:
That is the cheapest option. Maybe the most convenient or most reliable option, but definitely the cheapest.
- Comment on Looking for PDF collaboration 1 week ago:
I am thankful for any input. Maybe it helps someone else looking for a similar thing.
I think the collaborative part means sending PDFs from user to user and maintaining the ability to edit annotations. That may work for many use cases - a lot of businesses may be fine with that when email is still the communication medium of choice.
- Comment on Looking for PDF collaboration 1 week ago:
That’s not an option unfortunately. The actual use case is a non-profit sports club magazine which needs to be proof read by several people at the same time. There is a fixed release date and only a few days to proof read the PDF before it needs to be sent to print.
- Comment on Looking for PDF collaboration 1 week ago:
I have an installation of Stirling PDF, but in my short experiment it had no ability to collaborate on the same document.
Every edit created a new copy of the document downloaded to the user. The annotations weren’t tagged to the individual user and sending different versions of a PDF from user to user is not what I am looking for.
Stirling is a single user software in that regards. I haven’t tested the also mentioned BentoPDF and PdfDing but I suspect them to be the same as they are all trying to be a PDF toolbox like Acrobat.
- Comment on Looking for PDF collaboration 2 weeks ago:
I have installed OnlyOffice and it seems to work. I need to test it with a few others over a real connection (not just locally), but it seems promising.
- Comment on Looking for PDF collaboration 2 weeks ago:
I will look into these, do you know if they support collaborative annotations?
- Comment on Looking for PDF collaboration 2 weeks ago:
You might be right.
- Comment on Looking for PDF collaboration 2 weeks ago:
Not necessary, no.
- Comment on Looking for PDF collaboration 2 weeks ago:
I tried that. It opens PDFs in Impress (their PowerPoint) and provides only a very basic annotation interface.

- Comment on We'll probably never see a Grand Theft Auto set in a futuristic city like GTA 2 because the team "hated it": "People didn’t connect with the game or its city" 3 weeks ago:
Am I the only one who never realized it was supposed to be a futuristic city? To be honest my English wasn’t that good at the time I played it, but that information never clicked with me.
- Comment on How do I migrate my VPS out of Cloudflare? 3 weeks ago:
Do you really need that DDoS protection? I have been having my own webserver for decades now hosting public sites and I have only once been in the position that my server was not reachable because of a DDoS attack. And even then the attack was not targeted at my server but at my hosting provider at that time. Everything else was handled by fail2ban easily…
- Comment on Star Citizen is on course to reach $1 billion in player funding in 2026, and we still might not get to play its singleplayer campaign next year 3 weeks ago:
I can somehow understand the people who funded it in the first place, but who invests now in a project which has already been in development hell for more than a decade and produced barely anything playable. Every whale has already been milked - what return of investment can an investor expect from Star Citizen?
- Comment on Do you rebuild your container images yourself? 4 weeks ago:
Almost never. I don’t see any benefit .
- Comment on what do y'all use for CI/CD? 5 weeks ago:
Gitlab CI/CD pipelines are my go-to tool. At work we self host an instance, for personal projects I use gitlab.com.
- Comment on Lightweight and flexible: Bitwarden lite self-host deployment is now generally available | Bitwarden 5 weeks ago:
That is true for a single person - but in a multiple person household that would mean that everyone needs to carry a copy of their with them. So this mechanism is no replacement for a solid backup of the server somewhere else…
- Comment on Lightweight and flexible: Bitwarden lite self-host deployment is now generally available | Bitwarden 5 weeks ago:
The Bitwarden family plan has been one of the best expenses (if you want to call it that, because it really isn’t that expensive) in our family.
- Comment on Skyrim on Switch 2 ships with severe input lag and a huge 53GB file size despite being capped at 30FPS 1 month ago:
Why is everyone bashing Nintendo for this? I mean I get it that Nintendo is not to be liked, but this is clearly Bethesda’s fault. They did a fast and cheap port and failed hard with it.
- Comment on Do you cheat in video games? 1 month ago:
These days games often allow you to individually change the difficulty which I make use quite often when I feel a game is becoming too much of a hassle than a joy and I still want to know how the story continues or see what might be coming.
I don’t think I have used a classic cheat in a long time. The last time I actively remember was The Sims 3 (I guess) and it kind of killed the game for me because suddenly everything was possible without any challenge and even a normal playthrough felt like I was missing something.
- Comment on Gatekeeper: The first open-source DDoS system. Has anyone tried mass hosting this as a group? 1 month ago:
You may want to change the title and include the word “protection”…
- Comment on Have clankers visited my blog one hundred twenty-one sexagintillion eight hundred ten novemquinquagintillion times so far in November?? 1 month ago:
The traffic is really suspicious. Have you by any chance a health or heartbeat endpoint which provides continuous output? That would explain why so many hits cause so much traffic.
- Comment on openDesk 1.10. Enhanced security architecture 1 month ago:
It is an open alternative to MS365 developed on behalf of the German ministry of the interior and distributed as open source software.
If I remember correctly it is not an independent development but it is based on existing software and integrating them to build a consistent service.
I think it combines Nextcloud, Element, Jitsi and some other projects.
- Comment on Classic text adventure Zork is going open source, but I'm side-eyeing Microsoft's announcement about it hard 1 month ago:
It sounds like a few sixty year old engineer(s) got some managers to sign off the release of the source code release and decided to do the most out of the lack of resources they had available. I have no problem with them using AI to write a press release. No one is going to read it anyways in a few weeks of time - but the release is there forever (within reasonable limits).
- Comment on Rybbit - Open source Google Analytics replacement 1 month ago:
The community edition allows me to have multiple sites, multiple users and is way easier to set up. If I ever need additional features like funnels I would need a subscription for both - Plausible is less expensive.
