As mentioned already, Hetzner is a very big Hoster in Germany. I am a customer since nearly 15 years now and in all that time they also rised the prices only once for the package I use (and I think it was only recently in 2023 or so where it went from 4,90€ to 5,39€). Also their Storage Box seems to be not only one of the cheapest out there I have seen, but as far as I remember, you do not have to pay for the traffic if you want to restore your data, like it is with other hosters. Also they had a good service, were responsive if I opened a Ticket in the past and I can not remember if I had ever problems with the service I use (Web Hosting package).

I have a spare Z69 4K Android TV box here and no use for it at the moment. It served for a few years as exactly what is was sold for, later I flashed Kodi on it for a while and after that it served as a WFH RDP Client for another while with Armbian flashed on it.

The box has a S909X SoC, 3 GB RAM and 32 GB Flash, 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth, LAN, USB and HDMI.

I have a homelab already and I wondered if I could use it as a Zwave or Zigbee gateway maybe. But this does not seem to be possible in "software" only. I thought because we have overlaps in Frequencies between WiFi and Zwave (~860/~900 MHz range) and Zigbee (2.4 GHz range) it might be possible on Software, but I was not able to find such projects.

So I wonder... if you had this thing sitting around being useless, do you have any clever ideas what you would use it for?
It would be sad to scrap it since it is working fine.

Ooooh, I totally misunderstood then. Thank you very much. So everything is allright then :-)

Hi there,

I just finished the campain and started a season character right after that. But somehow only part of my renown got carried over. I had over 2.000 in the fractured peaks, but in my new seasonal character, I have around 400 now. I thought all of your renown carries over?
The map I revealed in my eternal realm character seemed to have carried over, also the altars... to some extend. I guess i should have a few skill tree points right from the start, but it is also set to 0. Oh, and I started the season with the story skip checkmark set.

Did for you renown carry over completely? Also, did you have skill points right from the start?

I must have klicked it a few seconds before I spotted the guys on the left. But I can not tell for sure if they spawned when I clicked the altar or if they where already there.

I think the map shows where it is... I did not find a way to those guys. I searched for a hidden switch to open a passage, but could not find anything. Did anyone come across those guys or was this just a bug spawning mobs where there should be none?

The dagger above the staff had 20 DPS and showed +2 in the Tooltip. This is something I can understand. But the staff has 40 DPS and only shows +4. How is this calculated?

Thank you! That is what I thought, probably not noticable during normal gameplay. I saw some pixelated textures when creating my character yesterday and I had the impression some textures looked better during the cutscenes which are zoomed in very much, but this is like less than 1% of the game. I think I will just save my bandwidth and ssd space for now.

Hi there,

after 2 betas and waiting up until today, I pulled the trigger now and got #D4 (gifted by Wifey, yeah! :-) ). Now I wonder if someone playing 1080p did a direct comparison between playing with high res textures on and off. It is a 40 GB difference and they say you should activate it when playing on 4K and very high settings. I am pretty confident that in normal gameplay, it should not make a difference in my setup, but from the beta I have the impression that some cut scenes are rendered in-game and are zoomed very far in into the characters and landscape, where higher res textures might have an impact even on 1080p maybe?

So, is someone of you playing 1080p and saw a difference between the 2 options?

Thanks in advance :-)

Brilliant, thank you very much. That makes finding and subscribing to new communities so easy :-)

Hi there,

I installed Liftoff this morning on a super old Android Device (Android 8.1) via Google Play without any issues.
So next step was to get it on my Smartphone running Lineage OS with Android 13. I was not able to find it in the Play Store, so I used the Link on the Github site of #liftoff and then Google Play tells me that this app is currently not available. OK, next step is F-Droid... can't find it there at all.

The Screenshots in Google Play look like they were created on a Smartphone, so my problem should not be Tablet vs Smartphone, but something else, right?

Edit: Forget about my question for F-Droid, I just read that it is not there, but the issue with Google Play still exists :-(

I was more thinking about Berlin - "Take my bread away", but this works too :-)

I have the feeling that there exists a song about this...

That is also holding me back. I am hosting tons of stuff myself, all dockerized, but I was not able to get kbin up and running yet. I wish someone would manage the images, so we can just pull, edit a .env and run / upgrade it.

For me the whole process always hangs at a step that seems to have something to do with the php setup. I tried on different servers, even created a fresh Ubuntu 22 LTS and still had the same problem. I am sure I am doing something wrong (probably editing something incorrectly in the settings), but the process it not as easy yet as it is for the other services I am hosting at the moment.

SSH Reverse Tunneling is super useful to get remote systems connected which only have very limited internet access through mobile carriers. They usually do NAT and you have no chance to connect to these sites with a dial-in VPN or other technologies that require YOU to connect to the remote system. So we just create a reverse ssh tunnel with autossh that is kept alive by the remote system itself and we connect back to the system to the ssh tunnel. Since ssh is installed anyway, that is one of the simplest and most versatile options to connect to these systems for us.

Awesome! I am looking forward to it, and I love that it's made for both major platforms :-)

It happened a few times now for me that I got a notification that someone replied to one of my posts in a thread. In that notification you can click on it and it jumps to the thread, so I start scrolling to search for the reply of the person... and can not find it. Using CTRL+F to search for my Username yields no results either.
Then when I switch from hot to active, newest or oldest, I can find my post and the one of the person who replied to me.

I wonder why hot is not showing mine?

One example is here:
https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/35238/Reddit-CEO-seeks-to-end-site-protest-by-allowing-users

If you show posts by hot and search for my username, you find nothing... but if you use one of the other options it works. I know my post is not "hot" with 11 upvotes, but hot shows others with less, so this should not be the issue, right?

I am sure they will find a lot of "users" who will vote... and then they can claim it was a fair game, haha. I am really enjoying this from afar. Not a day passes until another hilarious "press statement" from that spez. I really loved Reddit for what it was with all the smaller niche communities. These are the ones I miss here, but I hope growth continues and good people come over to populate the fediverse and bring over their unique ideas and discussions.
