    @psychicparrot42 If you ever need help with that, give me a shout. I've been self-hosting a bunch of systems from servers at home for over 20 years at this point (which is faintly terrifying to think about...)

    @psychicparrot42 I currently run Gitea (https://about.gitea.com/products/gitea/ ) - it's got a good interface, does what I need. For solo/small team projects it's more than enough. Although setting up for cloning with ssh might be fiddly depending on your setup.

    I've never used Gitstack, so I'm afraid I can't really compare them, but I've found Gitea to be really good, and it's easy to get going.

    I run a GitLab instance for work, and that is really full-featured and powerful, but it's also huge..

    hum... I wonder if I missed it, or if this separate rider backend process is new, almost 1GB, the project itself it the other one 🤔

    @djlink And to think people used to mock Emacs as "eight megabytes and constantly swapping".

    What in Eris' name does any IDE need that much RAM for?! 😩

    Internet: You should put 2-3kg of cheap coffee through a new coffee grinder to “season it” and throw it away

    Me: That seems super wasteful, how much difference does it make?

    Internet: A very small amount. You probably won’t notice. If you don’t your coffee will gradually get even nicer over the next few months of normal use. But Serious Coffee People do this step

    Me: Okay then [feeds normal coffee into new grinder while maintaining eye contact]

    @vga256 @sinbad On the bright side, they don't go to the lengths of demanding gold plated pipes, right?

    ... right?

    any hardware device that requires a mobile app to work should be forced by law to release open source drivers for device in case app stops working. There's going to be a lot of gadgets that will be dead within a few years. I feel that's more important than "everything usb-c"

    JeremiahFieldhaven,
    @JeremiahFieldhaven@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @djlink But David, how will they force you to buy a new device in that case?!

    The Asustor Drivestor 4-bay NAS devices are cheaper than Synology, but I have no idea how their software compares.

    JeremiahFieldhaven,
    @JeremiahFieldhaven@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @Taffer FWIW, I've had a Synology DS420+ for nearly 4 years now, populated with 4 drives.

    The initial cost was admittedly significant, not going to lie, but to date I've had (almost) no complaints about it.

    The DSM software is decent, easy to maintain, and everything Just Works. Could I have made my own system for less? Absolutely. But for a very neatly presented, self-contained, reliable system it works very well.

    Whenever I open up Blender to try and learn the UI, this is what if feel like to me, and I've used 3DSMax a lot in the past (I actually have 2 finished courses in 3D modeling, 0 completed in coding)

    Best superpower? Your new job requires you to use a piece of software daily. For a year it's your only possible income.

    The software was thrown together by copy/pasting stuff generated by ChatGPT but somehow it runs (that's why it's a superpower).

    What does the software do?

    @JeremiahFieldhaven@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @Nifflas Given how well-written so many banking apps seem to be, a frankensource monstrosity created by spicy autocomplete might actually be an improvement.

    So hum... this is getting installed into Win11 (seems like recently) and there's no way to easily uninstall? I'm sure there's already regedit commands online as workaround but it's bad Uninstall is disabled.

    JeremiahFieldhaven,
    @JeremiahFieldhaven@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @djlink Also in Win10, too. 😡

    And yeah: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/completely-disable-and-remove-copilot-in-windows-11.23264/ as an example of registry tweaks to turn it off (still can't remove it, though!)

    dropped all google analytics/tracking code from my personal blog with umami, you can self-host, it's open-source, neat interface. There's also a hosting option free up to 10k events a month. if this goes well might change all my other stuff too. https://github.com/umami-software/umami

    @djlink I've been using self-hosted matomo for a few years now, it's pretty decent too https://matomo.org/

    @djlink Couple of places: one runs on one of the servers I manage at work, one is on the server I have at home that I run several sites from (my personal ones, some for my wife, some for a group of friends).

    Doesn't require much - bit over 200MB storage for the code+geo IP database. Database size depends on traffic level, but even the one in work is only about 50MB

    @psychicparrot42 Aaah, but the real question:

    What sort of tea?

    JeremiahFieldhaven,
    @JeremiahFieldhaven@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @psychicparrot42 Oh, aye - unless I'm going for a jasmine tea or something (in which case I use the glass teapot with the infuser for the loose leaf) I pretty much always use Twinings Assam.

    Yorkshire's pretty decent, hell of a lot better than factory floor sweepings called Tetley's. And you get to sing On Ilkla Mooar Baht 'at a couple of times to time the brew!

    90 minutes in to a sales and account retention presentation and the entire dev team are sitting here questioning life choices.

    Progress(?) in my battle against the touchpad…

    I've got udev rules that trigger a shell script when I turn the mouse off/on. That's the first part!

    Still haven't been able to find a way to use libinput, kcfg (Python CLI for modifying KDE settings), probably something else to disable the touchpad or stop processing its events.

    JeremiahFieldhaven,
    @JeremiahFieldhaven@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @Taffer Which distro are you on? On ubuntu, you could try synclient TouchpadOff=1

    Or you could try xinput list to get the list of devices, and then xinput disable <device> to turn it off?

    @psychicparrot42 I must admit, was pleasantly surprised at the Unreal blueprint debugger, once I got my head around using it (although whether that will still hold when I'm building levels at runtime WE SHALL SEE).

    I still use (possibly far too many) debug log prints, though...

    JeremiahFieldhaven,
    @JeremiahFieldhaven@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @psychicparrot42 Yeah, I was definitely right there when I was using c# in unity - in no small part because the frankly bonkers overhead I seemed to get from running the debugger made the experience painful.

    That habit dies hard!
