@internetarchive > 23% of news webpages contain at least one broken link LOL - if news websites linked sources etc as much as they should, that would be 100% (unless they already have an automated fallback to archive.org for broken links)And as someone who has restored a (game modding) Wiki, that suddenly went offline "due to spam" and never came back, from The Wayback Machine: Yes, it's absolutely invaluable.

@aralFWIW, it looks like at least Gnome is finally working on it: https://blogs.gnome.org/a11y/2024/06/18/update-on-newton-the-wayland-native-accessibility-project/

@fooneThe real question is: WTF has the world come to when people integrate an LLM into a font before integrating Doom?!

@ZachWeinersmith Don't people who tell these kind of stories usually assume they're poignant and charming?And isn't everything in the past a bygone time?

I just read that Epic Games have made the original Unreal and Unreal Tournament freeware by allowing archive.org to host ISOs (CD images) of the original installation media.https://www.oldunreal.com/downloads/unreal/full-game-installers/ has installers that install the games from those ISOs with the OldUnreal fan patch to make them work better on modern systems.Newspost about this: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/classic-shooters-unreal-and-unreal-tournament-are-now-free-and-preserved-on-the-internet-archive

SDL_stbimage.h (basically the SDL_Image library but as header-only lib with stb_image.h as only dependency) now supports SDL3!It also still supports SDL2.https://github.com/DanielGibson/Snippets/blob/master/SDL_stbimage.h

My girlfriend is sick and asked for alphabet soup.To be on the safe side, I made her password soup instead.

@ricci Hetzner probably is the cheapest provider for real dedicated servers - the regular ones start at $42/month and they even offer older ones (that aren't used in their regular products anymore) starting at $35/month

@ricciExpensive for a dedicated server?Those are not VPS, you get the whole machine for yourself

@ricci Yeah, so I guess if you got a slightly bigger instance that needs more power than a cheapo VPS offers that's quite attractive.Less attractive is that they sometimes terminate contracts without notice or giving a reason, see https://ursal.zone/@Ursalzona/112259839960115911or https://woem.men/notes/9ragjwecxwul3nis

@aeva @pythno Not sure if this is possible at all.I mean, doing/working on what I currently want to do is better than being forced to work on something uninteresting, but in the end it still sucks.Because even (non-trivial) interesting things/goals have periods that are not fun and that you somehow need to push through to get to the goal, e.g. practicing to learn an instrument or the boring/frustrating parts of programming projects

@mogwai_poet clever - if someone turns such an idea into a great game he'll be (posthumously) praised, if it turns out shit people will say "if Kojima had done it himself it would've been great"

Does anyone have a mirror or local backup of (the last or any interesting state of) zerowing.idsoftware.com ?I know archive.org has it (no idea if all of it), but would like something faster, and in fact I'd like to mirror it myself at dhewm3.org (like I do for iddevnet)#doom3 #idtech

Exactly 20 years ago, Doom3 was released!To celebrate this, version 1.5.4 of the dhewm3 source port is released today: https://dhewm3.org/#dhewm3-1.5.4The biggest new features since 1.5.3 are a completely new settings menu (can usually be opened with F10) and soft particles that don't "cut" into geometry.#doom3

I don't think I'll stop using Firefox anytime soon.Yes, their management are fucking idiots and it's annoying that I'll have to disable new AI features whenever they release them..But the alternative is to use something Chromium-based, which would make Google's domination of web technology absolute - and Google is 100x more evil than Mozilla ever could be.I hope this fucking bubble pops before Mozilla fucks up Firefox so badly that it becomes completely unusable

(yes, there are also the soft-forks of Firefox, but I don't think I'd gain much from them - security updates probably arrive a bit later, and apparently AI features still reach their users before they get around to disabling them)
