Do you actually want to expose the things to “the internet”, or do you just want yourself (and an approved set of other users) to be able to access them from outside of your network?

If it’s the former, you’re going to want to learn about DNS, NAT, exposing ports, firewall settings, and network monitoring.

But if it’s the latter, then I recommend checking out tailscale because that gives you and some friends LAN-like access with a great internal DNS and it works really well.

Did I offend you or something? Does your dad work for Nintendo? 🙄

It’s a figure of speech. But let me really spell it out for you and any other fucking slowpokes in the back of the class…

I’m not impressed with the hardware or the software that they showed today. They should show more than 8 seconds of a game that looks marginally better than Mario Kart 8 (a game I bought and enjoyed 11 years ago on the Wii U) if they want to impress me and sell me on a piece of hardware that is incrementally better than the Switch they sold me 8 year ago. Hopefully they have something that will impress me when they do another presentation in April, but if not that’s cool who gives a fuck man.

They seem to be implying that you can turn the joycons on their side to use them kind of like a mouse… I guess?

At least that’s what the rumors and chatter have been saying. How practical that is… I dunno.

Well, it’s a bigger, better Switch alright…

A little bit underwhelming hardware-wise. Extra joycon L/R don’t seem like they’ll factor in much in most singleplayer docked or handheld settings. (I guess those aren’t new buttons… .) The mouse thing (if that’s what they’re showing) is somewhat interesting and helps to keep touch controls relevant when docked. Top USB port, sure. Backwards compatibility is great news. Screen is…?

As always with Nintendo I think it comes down to the games. Mario Kart 9 hasn’t blown me away just yet, but we’ve barely seen anything at all so…

To be continued in April, i guess.

Fursan al-Aqsa was released in 2022

You’re clearly not very well informed, because the source of the controversy here is an October 7th themed update that came out in late 2023.

Yeah, actually after taking a look at your profile, you’re not the kind of person I want taking up my mental energy.

What kind of person would that be?

Until we have a voting system where 3rd parties are viable (for example. Ranked Choice Voting, Star Voting, Approval Voting, etc.), we absolutely do not benefit in any way for the existence of more parties.

Whether intentional or not, America today is a two-party system by design. If you want more choices beyond the Democrats and Republicans, you need to help us enact voting system reforms which are necessary to allow 3rd parties to exist legitimately. We aren’t joking when we say that voting 3rd party is throwing your vote away; it very much is.

Do you think Palestine sprung into existence on October 7?

No. I think most people know that Israel and Palestine were both established by the League of Nations back in the 40s post the fall of the Ottoman Empire, after which they proceeded to start fighting each other for fucking decades of pointless holy wars.

I’m not sure how that’s relevant to the discussion at hand, however.

Why does every discussion of Israel being genocidal colonizers come down to an incident that happened decades after their oppression of Palestine began?

Uh, are we not currently in a thread specifically talking about an October 7th game or…?

Try out a mesh network VPN like tailscale (others are available, but i haven’t tried them).

Tailscale is basically just a simple but powerful wireguard manager that does all of the work of setting up a mesh network for you, and it works amazingly well in my experience. The free account is good for I think 3 users and 100 devices on a network and has been the perfect thing to expose my home server to my various devices no matter where I am.

I like it so much after having used it for the last few months that I just spent way too much money upgrading my server… but that’s another thing entirely. lol

Any support for Palestine is being called “terrorist” these days, so I’d rather make the judgment call for myself.

So what is your judgment call? Was the October 7th attack terrorism or not?

TTT was so fucking great back in the day.

I haven’t played Cyberpunk, but I already felt that way about The Witcher 3, to some extent. CDPR makes nice looking games with seemingly vibrant and populated worlds, but I feel like interaction with the world and NPCs is pretty thin and boring.
