You mean it's gonna appear as an update to CSGO in steam?

Wow impressive feat! Thanks for sharing!

How many of them have you built/do you plan to build?

Reminds me of the time used a private gitlab repo for a freelance contract where I was working alone. I used it to keep track of tasks in issues. Some issues in this repo really turned into me talking to myself

I disagree with patching being pointless : some players will keep playing csgo, no matter if a newer cs comes out

Since I've joined lemmy, I've been thinking about some kind of "community merging" feature.

A "meta community" would be able to "follow" other communities across the fediverse and posts from followed communities would show up in the "meta community's" feed. Posts from followed communities would remain on their original instances, or they could be duplicated to the meta community's instance.

There are a lot of details to work out, but I think this would add a lot more usability to lemmy and the fediverse as a whole

I did not know about whatthecommit, and I love it! Thank you

This is really interesting. Thank you for sharing!

Next step would be to add a way for app developpers to host special Instances that allow reddit accounts authenticated through oauth to interact with lemmy communities

There are far less than 255 countries in the world, and most countries do not have 255 regions.

On the other hand, most regions have more than 255 subnets, and with NAT these days, most subnets have faaaaar more than 255 devices

As long as you don't ask it to draw hands

Why would a main server be required if users can fluently interact across Instances? (which, imo, is an area where lemmy has the most margin for improvements)

Nice point, I'll update my recent post in this community to include a tldr

I don't think a "main" instance is something we want. If one instance completely takes over the whole federation, we will have another reddit debacle in a few years.

While Decentralization is not a silver bullet against monopoly (just look at what gmail did to e-mails), centralization seems to always kill independence once platforms reach a critical mass

 
 

TLDR : My brand new laptop did not support DisplayPort over USB-C. I had a Raspberry Pi lying around unused, with its RJ45 and Ethernet ports, and I felt that I should be able to use it to bridge the gap between my laptop and my 2nd external monitor. After a lot of trial and error, I managed to get to something that I can comfortably use daily. This is a tutorial to reproduce this project in the form of a detailed writeup

I made this project a few months ago, and got some good feedback when I shared it. I also made a Github repo with scripts and config files (there is a link in the blog post), but I did not get a lot of feedback on it.

Anyway, I'd love to read your thoughts about this project.

I'm also looking for lemmy communities related to DIY tech projects and Raspberry Pis, so feel free to recommend some communities :)
