Well, this is the PC Gaming lemmy community, so I’m just talking about PC

There’s a pretty big difference between “Selling the exact same binaries on different stores” and “Supporting a whole different OS with it’s own alien ecosystem” =P
In the case of store fronts, we’re talking about more sales (even if it’s extremely low) that literally take 0 effort to do.
One thing I haven’t seen mentioned here already, is that the game is only on Steam. Which limits the customer base to Steam, yes it’s a massive audience but they’re missing out on free sales by not listing it on places like GOG, Itch.io, Gamejolt, etc
If you go down the VPS route, a headscale server on a cheap $3.50 VPS would be the way to go. Wouldn’t even have to deal with IP addresses at that point, while still being able to self-host all your services, with the cheap VPS being a glorified switch/firewall.
I bought it back when it was in early access. The main hate is how long it took to develop, and how many bugs it has/had.
The most recent time I played it, about a year and a half ago. You were able to wheely a motorcycle up a skyscraper. Zombies would randomly clip through things, the physics would bug out and loot on the ground would kill you from nudging it, sometimes you were able to just ride through buildings, and the multiplayer lag was abysmal. Just to name a few things.
I could go on, but for a game that’s been in development for 10 years, it barely shows it.
Magic Wormhole protocol. There’s a lot of clients out there. Here’s some:
In theory, you could make a fake executable with the mkv file extension on a unix system, by making it a shell script with a bunch of garbage data at the end, marking it executable, and distributing it with a tarball. But the chances someone will do that is insanely low.
Also it has caveats:
A used mini computer, like a lenovo thinkcentre, hp prodesk mini, and dell optiplex micro.
Yep, my homeserver spends most of it’s time idling, so power management kicks in.
Now when one of my build VMs are running, it’ll get up to that range, but that’s why I said it runs at 10 watts usually
The last time I checked, mine runs at about 5-10 watts usually.
Depends on your NAS server. If you’re like me and using an old optiplex, you can fit WAY more 2.5" drives in it, and they’re pretty cheap. If you have an actual proper server chassis, then you probably want 3.5" NAS hard drives cuz warranty and all that.
Eh, you can host a gitea instance on a $3.50 VPS pretty easily. I don’t think money will be an issue when it comes to hosting and serving.
It’s not tor, it’s supposed to be it’s own anonymizing network since tor doesn’t support UDP or something.
I’ve tried it before, the speeds are abysmal to the point of being unusable. It took me 3 days to download something that was only 50mb when I last tried it.
distcc cluster?
Warehouse worker who self hosts stuff here.
It all started when I was a teenager and I lost access to my photobucket account…
