For what is worth, I use my self-developed/self-hosted alternative you may be interested in.

It is a bash script and carries everything over ssh, but requires x11 server and a linux client.

I always regret about the poor choice of the name tho

I don'know if this is due to some kind of anticheat/kernel level stuff, but I was thinking, if developers are so concerned about cheaters, then why don't they make it optional and let players themselves decide what kind/level of "protection" they want?

It is certainly feasible and probably cheap too, to create 2 different networks like, say, 'Cheat-free' and 'The Wild', second one not tied to stricter anticheat measures.

I'm sure "real cheaters™ don't use drugs the latter".

There will be a new extension named EAdblock.

If it will be compatible with EAC, which will be surely pushed to single player games, remains to be seen.

Nintendo is free to release Switch^n, I'm free to keep gaming with my old rig, whatever it is.

Certainly no need to upgrade just because of that.

I've plenty of games still in my queue from years ago, and they will continue to run well; no need to chase the latest ones.

In the end, not having much time anymore is not all bad.

Somebody can explain me why they sold themselves in the first place?

Were they forced somehow?

Quoting: Nateman1000not everyone has the time or resources to set up their own server, LET ALONE THEIR OWN DNS AND EMAIL.

You make it sound like it's a massive job or really expensive. Yes, it does take a few hours initially setting everything up, but then it's like a few hours a year running a server with DNS, email, web and gitlab. Hosting somewhere sure also cost a little bit if you don't have a permanent IP at home, but for a small server it's maybe 10 € per month. I say it's always worth it to avoid all the problems of using someone else's server. DNS especially is dead simple and there is no reason anyone even slightly technically competent should not run their own server. You can even do it on a dynamically assigned IP. That way you avoid all the spying and censoring.

Of course it's not for everyone and their grandmother but this thread was about people trying to develop an emulator and if you can program on that level you really should be able to set up your own Gitlab server or I am definitely going to question your competence.

He just said "not everyone" referring to the same people who forked the main repo, the ones you were talking about, right?

It's clear that if you don't know how to setup a webserver and so on there's quite a time consuming difference between clicking a fork button and learning the skills needed to host your own service.

I really hate how the Linux community attitudes towards any problem for beginners is to tell them to just use their over complicated method and not be beginners. Nobody needs to know how to set up their own email server in the year 2024. You can if you want to. Nobody needs to know how to set up their own DNS. You can if you want to. That is an EXTREMELY UNREASONABLE bar for tech literacy

I've to say it's not the whole community to act that way and, to a certain extent, I understand both parts.

Eg. newcomers often wont make any effort to learn something a bit more complicated, even if this is bound bilaterally to the whole ecosystem.
I'm not speaking about compiling from source, but I sense that even basic things like properly use the distro package manager seem to be a problem lately.

This puts stress on the whole community because either of the so called help vampires, or because simpler but far less efficient alternatives like flatpaks, appimages or dockers are growing to accomodate for their needs, mining the basis of the ecosystem itself.

Btw, those problems are not tied to the Linux community; I remember to have asked a lazy Windows developer where I could find documentation for a particular feature, and he kindly pointed me to read the whole source :)

For Github operators is as easy to track which is/was a fork as you hit the button [fork].
To make it harder for them to find you, you could clone locally, create a new repo and upload it ex-novo.
Clone today, upload in a month or so would be even better.

Quoting: Liam Dawe

Quoting: kokoko3kQuite confused about the Linux support, what does it mean? It was already GPL licensed and available at least via aur in Archlinux since April, 25.

Now it has an official package from the developer, available for basically any distribution. It's really not complicated.

Gotcha, since I was already feeling supported by the source code, I feared I was missing something critical.

Thank you very much for the explaination!
