Thanks for your responses. Pretty incredible that its capable of being so flexible and still be a coherent game. The community behind it must be amazingly passionate about it.

- Comment on Apple Wants To Kill PWAs 9 months ago:
Like it or not, Apple is the trend setter. Everybody feels like they need to do what Apple does. So given that, Apple kills PWAs, everyone else will surely follow.
That’s normally how it goes anyway.
- Comment on Broadcom terminates VMware's free ESXi hypervisor 9 months ago:
Of these, I can recommend Proxmox. Its a decent learning curve coming from VMware, but once you learn the interface you’ll be able to configure things much like you would in Vsphere/ESXi.
I recently started using the Proxmox Backup Server as well, and its pretty amazing. I got myself a super cheap VPS with 400gb storage, setup wireguard and installed the backup server. You just point Proxmox directly to it and it’ll do encrypted backups, scheduling, and easily keep any number of versions of your backups.

- Comment on Epic is giving away 17 games as part of its holiday sale 11 months ago:
Its not about the sales at that point (obviously), its about bolstering the user base. Everything boils down to advertising these days. The more people they have registered on their platform, the wider advertising audience.

Not entirely true. You’re giving them users and downloads to pad their stats.

- Comment on Very free hosting for only $22.95 11 months ago:
I remember using a service like that in the late 90s/early 00s and the way to get around having the ads shown on the page was to rename the .html file to .jpeg.

- Comment on If you had to choose one programming language that you had to use for the rest of your life, what would it be? 1 year ago:
Ideally I’d choose Rust because I enjoy working with it, but don’t have enough time to commit to it at the moment. But being Practical I’d probably say Java, its easy to get stuff going and has been around forever so it’s easy to find solutions etc.

- Comment on Anyone knows a good lightweight self-hosted alternative to GitHub? 1 year ago:
How cheap are we talking? OneDev is awesome but is recommended to have 2gb ram - the more repos and larger code bases might eventually need more ram.
