  • I made a similar thing on my home network. It uses php’s built in file upload and runs in the web browser so you don’t even need an app. It’s just basic beginner level html and php in 2 files that goes on my lan server. Makes it super easy to transfer files between phones, windows pcs and Linux pcs.

    I gave up on fighting with windows pcs to try getting them to connect to samba shares a long time ago and you’ll never access a samba or windows network share on a smartphone without paying money for some shitty app anyway. Despite this relatively low-tech solution it ends up being more practical just because it’s easy and convenient.

    Even in 2024, so many pcs people regularly use are utter shite. It’s gotten to the point where people just expect it to take 5 seconds for the ui to respond to anything and consider it an unchangeable fact of life.

    It took a lot of effort the other day to convince a boomer that Edge freezing then crashing while using it and losing all the data was actually, in fact, undesirable and unintended behavior.








  • I’m OK with actual honest to goodness videos on lemmy generally. It’s those fucking gifs that drive me up the fucking wall. Gifs should be banned from lemmy, they’re so heavily abused. 3 out of 4 “video” posts is actually just a 100mb+ gif. Use any fucking thing other than gifs. Fuck gifs. If I had a time machine I would go back in time just to prevent gifs from getting invented just so people would stop posting 1 minute long gifs all over lemmy. In fact, maybe I should plot and scheme to sneak the removal of gif support from the lemmy software git repo somehow the same way hackers got that ssh virus in.

    Fuck gifs and everyone that chooses to use them instead of any other format. If videos are too complicated to figure out you need to be posting a picture or maybe just go outside. Fuck.









  • To me, Godot is the only game engine I would ever consider using. Unity is bad because you never know what shitty stuff they’ll do next. Unreal probably doesn’t work on Linux and unreal script sounds like a terrible idea. If I had to figure out all those extremely difficult math problems like angular velocities, quaternion math, rotation matrices and shit in an obscure programming language, I would stop to rethink my life choices. It’s already hard enough doing this in more widely used established languages even with decades of stackoverflow posts available.

    Besides Godot, you can always make your own. Use a graphics library like orge or Irrlicht, a physics engine (reactphysics3d for example), something for sound like openAL and once you get them all glued together, you have a game engine.
