What are you looking to actually do with your programming skills? That will heavily influence which languages to recommend you learn. Do you want to make websites? build games? do AI stuff? Create enterprise-level software? something else?
However, if you ask me to pick one specific project, I get overwhelmed because I don’t know what’s reasonable.
I don’t know enough to know if my ideas are achievable, or if I’d just be bashing my head against the wall. I don’t know if they’re laughably simple tasks, multimillion-dollar propositions, or Goldilocks ideas that would be perfect to learn a coding language.
List out some ideas you're thinking of. While it may not be obvious to you, someone who is seasoned (me or someone else) might notice at least a general theme or idea to point you in the right direction for where you should go and what you should learn, regardless of if the projects are reasonable.
Note - Most projects take teams to realize, so if your ideas are too large, they might not generally be feasible alone.
Earthbound is eternally on my list of games i play through every couple of years. Its such a great game. Some aspects of it are a tad clunky by modern sensibilities (inventory management, going through the menus for a lot of things, etc.), but overall it holds up really well. Also if you liked earthbound, mother 3 is also 100% worth playing. Mother 1 (or beginnings, or whatever you wanna call it), is hard to recommend to anyone but the most diehard fans, though.
I like earthbound the most of all of em, but thats purely for nostalgia reasons. From a critical perspective, i think mother 3 is the superior game.
I'm not sure if this is the proper place to ask this, but I don't know where else to go. I'm having trouble reaching the pathfinder.social instance; I can't seem to post, or subscribe to their communities. Is anyone else having issues?
Yeah, as others have said, its been down for a while. It was noticed a little while back, so we created a local pathfinder community which is still really small. !pathfinder
some people tried to get ahold of them via mastodon, but turned up nothing, so i dunno. I have no ties to the admins of it, so i have no extra insight.
I agree with the other poster; you should look into proxmox. I migrated from ESXi to proxmox 7-8 years ago or so, and honestly its been WAY better than ESXi. The migration process was pretty easy too, i was able to bring over the images from ESXi and load them directly into proxmox.
Huh, I guess the crosspost button doesn't work in eternity (the android app), because that's what I used. It has no other input other than selecting the target community

It's never really specified. They call him the "cavalier", which in 2e was a kit that either paladins or fighters could take. He occasionally did some sorta-paladiny stuff like when he bubbled with a force bubble type thing to protect his friends
I am currently running most of my stuff from an unraid box using spare parts I have. It seems like I am hitting my limit on it and just want to turn it into a NAS. Micro PCs/USFF are what I am planning on moving stuff to (probably a cluster of 2 for now but might expand later.). Just a few quick questions:...
Running arr services on a proxmox cluster to download to a device on the same network. I don’t think there would be any problems but wanted to see what changes need to be done.
I'm essentially doing this with my set up. I have a box running proxmox and a separate networked nas device. There aren't really any changes, per se, other than pointing the *arr installs at the correct mounts. One thing to make note of, i would make sure that your download, processing, and final locations are all within the same mount point, so that you can take advantage of atomic moves.
I dunno, i havent read it, but it describes itself as ‘horror’ several times, and calls itself “investigative horror”. From what i’ve gleaned it was supposed to be victorian-esque call of cthulhu? But i’m also not 100% sure.
You’re needed, investigators: join the secret society Candela Obscura to confront occult horrors from beyond, keeping hidden the true nature of magickal incursions besetting our world.
Candela Obscura (bestowed the hashtag #CandelaObscura) is a new tabletop roleplaying game that places you in the roles of investigators working for an esoteric order. In this game of investigative horror, individuals of varied talents are brought together under the organization Candela Obscura. You’ll pursue strange occurrences and encounter dangerous magicks, fighting back against a mysterious source of corruption and bleed. Candela Obscura is the first to use the Illuminated Worlds System, a newly designed system that uses 6-sided dice and lends itself to narrative, arc-driven play.

You’re talking about XMPP, and it was google with google chat that people refer to with it.
That said, there’s a lot of details that story people throw around about google killing it that lacks some details. Specifically that the premier service that used and developed the standard, jabber, was acquired by cisco like 8 years before google supposedly killed it, which i would argue affected it far harder than google chat did.
It’s also lacking a lot of modern features that were becoming staple around the time that it was killed; i.e. QoS, assured delivery, read receipts, and a few other things. I still don’t think the protocol supports them.
Also, the protocol still exists and is used. It’s used by microsoft in skype for business, it’s also the IM protocol for lots of gaming platforms like origin, playstation, the switch (for its push notifications for their online service), League of legends, fortnite, and others. It’s still a reasonably popular standard when it comes to chat programs, though none of them that i’m aware of use the actual federation piece of it to talk to each other.
While the tactic alluded to does exist (“embrace, extend, extinguish”), i’ve never been necessarily convinced that google “kiled” xmpp, as its been around a long time and continues to be for various reasons. Even with google chat, it was never a ‘front end’ thing many users even thought about, because it’s back end frameworks tech, and it continues to be so in lots of different places today. I’m reasonably sure that the people who get upset about it and proclaim google killed it are basically just upset that it didn’t become the defacto chat standard today, which i would argue almost nothing is the defacto standard anyways, unless you count discord which kinda came out of nowhere like a whirlwind and took over the chat space and has nothing to do with any XMPP drama.
Ultimately, its up to you (whoever is reading this) to look into the facts of the matter and decide for yourself if that’s what really happened, but keep in mind, the people who usually repeat the anecdote about how google killed it have an agenda to push. I’m personally skeptical, because there’s reasons for google to have dropped it (see mentioned limitations above), and even back then, it wasn’t that outrageously popular. In fact, i would argue its more widely used today than it was back then, but i have no hard numbers on that.
Fun fact, this website has a weird way of treating you when you get banned. Because the only thing that will happen is that trying to post a comment or anything will result in an infinite loading screen that will not allow you to get anything on the sub....
FWIW: Temp bans are frequently used as a “warning” both within lemmy moderation and on reddit. Not saying everywhere does it, but its a pretty common practice. I assume that’s what the above ban was for, along with the note that was basically “please don’t post porn”.
One key difference, though, is that the lemmy moderation action does not create a message that goes to the user and opens a dialogue like it does on reddit. For whatever reason, lemmy users are expected to go check the mod logs when their stuff gets moderated, rather than a message being sent to them. This is expected behavior of the software, which feels really weird/wrong to me, but it is what it is.
As far as this particular moderation action goes: my stance as an admin is that mods of the communities are allowed to moderate their community as they see fit, so i have no real opinion one way or the other here on if that should be allowed or not.
I appreciate your light touch on moderation, though I think you might want to have really basic rules e.g. no CP, to protect yourself as the apparent owner of the site.
That’s actually covered by rule 1 of the site rules.
Don’t do anything illegal - anything against the law is basically prohibited here. We’d like to keep our instance relatively above board.
hrm, strange. I see it there and it seems to load for me, that said, i had to restore the sled db from a backup because it seems it got corrupted, so its possible there was a bit of data loss associated with that.
Looking for a place to discuss your most recent campaign? Consider checking out the new Lemmy instance dedicated to all things table-top RPG over at: https://ttrpg.network
The best part is you can participate from your existing fediverse account. Communities on Lemmy can be followed like users and have similar functionality to other fediverse groups!
I have mediacom as well, but in a larger city of the midwest. They have datacaps here too, and i was paying about $100 for exactly this same plan up until a couple years ago. They started upgrading our speeds/caps because a new fiber company (metronet) is building in the area. Now i’m on 1 gbps down and a 4 TB cap. I still plan to switch to metronet when they finally light up my area, as its cheaper for the same speeds (plus no data caps)
nah, sarcastic. just came up in chat, and someone was complaining about HP complexities, when it was mentioned that someone should make an HP version of the “stop using math” meme. Thus here we are.
off hand, my main reservation is how you have to keep track of each d12 as a “hope” die or a “fear” die. I feel like that will be a tad annoying to track/remember, but we’ll see. Since it applies to every roll maybe not.
@rpg What's the deal with the new #Dolmenwood rpg? Is it becoming it's own game mainly to get away from the #OGL? Does anyone know if the rules are still pretty much #OSE under the hood?
the rules are still basically OSE with small customizations i’ve heard. The biggest change is something to do with the skill system, but otherwise its OSE with a few custom races/classes.
RPGmemes becomes the first community on TTRPG.network to hit 5k subscribers! That’s a pretty amazing milestone! Thanks everyone who either jumped ship from reddit or joined from the lemmyverse!
Yep, this is correct. Only the main instance shows the full number of subscribers; From your (remote) instance, you only see the number of subscribers on your instance
it is basically a combination PHB, DMG, and MM, so that can somewhat explain the size of the book. I also wouldnt exactly call it rules-light. There are far lighter systems out there.
As for what i mean about a lot of text, here’s the rules for doing a basic check:
The actual mechanics are “roll a d20, subtract/add bonuses/penalties, and roll under your stat. Roll exactly your stat to ‘crit’. 20 auto fails”
