    The best code its given me I’d been able to search for and find where it was taken. Hey it helped me discover some real human blogs with vastly more helpful information.

    (If you’re curious, it was circa when there was that weird infight at openclosedAI with altman, I prompted to give code to find the rotational inertia per axis and to my surprise and suspicion the answer made too much sense. Backsearching I found where I believe it got this answer from)






  • I can’t say thats why, regardless of engine you’re trying to solve basically the same problems, more likely which example project is used as a starter, which I’m sure very much the same can happen regardless of game engine.

    With the FOSS spirit however Im sure more contributors will make plenty of viable starter asset packs for inexperienced users and diversify the “feel”

    But I can say being able to actually interact with the phys engine is practically what’s enabling my project, so I would imagine that also has a part in the feel of games




  • Haven’t tried the other two, but I would say yes if you do roguelikes. The physics and reactions are the half of it, the wandbuilding mechanics let you build some completely bizzare and powerful wands, and with a little luck can start getting a godrun fairly quick… but you’re always vulnerable.

    Highly recommend going in blind, there are a lot of secrets to find, different sidequests, etc, winning the game once is a milestone.



  • +1 for Proxmox, has been a fun experience as there are plenty of resources and helper scripts to get you off the ground, jellyfin was the first thing I migrated from my PC, hardware encoding may give you a bit of a tussle but nothing unsolveable. Also note Proxmox is Debian under the hood, so you may find it easy to work with. I looked into unraid, it seems great if all you’re doing for the most part is storage, if you want Linux containers and virtual machines, proxmox js your bet.

    I got a small 4 bay 2U server from a friend on the cheap, 1000$ should get you relatively nice new or slightly older used hardware. Even just a PC with a nice amount of drive bays will get you started. And drives are cheap, a raid 1 setup was one of the things I did.

    In the end I’ll likely get a separate NAS rack server just to segregate functions, but as of now I simply have a Proxmox LXC mounted to my NAS drives and runs samba to expose them.

    Tailscale is a nice set and forget solution for VPN access, I ended up going the route of getting an SSL certified domain and beefing up my firewall a bit. The bit I’ve messed with it it certainly has a learning curve greater than openvpn, but is much more hardened and versatile.

    As for pihole, I’ve found AdGuard Home to be just about a suitable replacement, and can be installed along openwrt, though I have a bit of an unconventional router with 512MB of RAM so YMMV
