    I'm pretty far removed from game dev but curious.. is the in mem sqlite DB the only representation of game state or is it just 'mirroring' the 'real' values in ram? like if there's…

    This is interesting but something i feel like id disable on most of my ssh servers as they are only exposed through a shared jump host, and I don't want users that have too many ke…

    There's extra complexity with ssh, it has its own file of revoked keys in RevokedKeys and you'll have to update that everywhere. see https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1#KEY_REVOCA…

    It would also be very rare. The penalties described here start at 30s, I don't know the max, but presumably whatever is issuing the bad behavior from that IP range will give up at …

    id assume those unchanging ipv4 addresses are not shared and natted with other customs and thus charging for them makes sense as you're consuming a limited resource they are paying…

    if it was trained on a sufficient amount of fan art made in the studio Ghibli style and tagged as such, yes. otherwise those would just be unknown words, same as asking an artist t…

    does inactivity mean writes? reads? stat() calls? IMO setting the expectation of 'wont survive a reboot' is more consistent. but even that fails with private tmp files that could b…

    Even easier to just have a doc give some examples of third party tunneling solutions and not have the app try to do anything more than normal connections. ssh tunneling alone can b…

    Probably good to have some basic checks too if it's expecting a text file of SQL queries- like a dismissible warning if it's over a certain size or doesn't appear to be plain text

    Tbh I agree because at least with the hindsight we have now, so many apps both desktop and on phones are just wrappers around web browsers anyways. Back then there was some value a…

    The privacy issues aren't just hypothetical, but that aside, that caching model unfortunately doesn't mesh well with modern webdev. It requires all dependencies to be shipped in fu…
