    Ok so I don’t quite understand why self hosting makes the situation better:

    Turns out once you’ve played enough the database on the host just gets too big and chokes out the CPU threads since it can’t use more than 2 cores

    Ok so you will have the same problem when hosting it on a dedicated server…

    Wife is hosting and pulling 10 fps with a Nvidia 3070TI

    I have an old HP SFF i5 16GB RAM with an SSD

    Are you telling me that the old HP SFF has more performance than your wife’s PC?

    I also don’t quite understand what using a dedicated server has to do with FPS because server calculations should usually not impact this expect when the game’s code is utter garbage and it performs server calculations on the rendering thread…

    I used to run an old gaming computer as a home server and it felt like $30 a month in electricity.

    Let’s assume that server somehow requires 1kWh per day (which is quite a lot). That would be around 30ct per day here in Europe which is like $10 a month. So not sure if your server was constantly running at 200W or your power plugs are coated with gold…








  • That’s what you see further to the back by the wall (50€ used, Fritz!Box 7510). Unfortunately, it only comes with one (1!!!) singular LAN port, so I had to buy a switch for 5 LAN ports in total (another 12€) which is sufficient for all the devices we use at home.

    7510 is an extremely bad router, it doesn’t even have 5Ghz WiFi which is like standard for 10 years now. The router is your core access to the internet. Saving money in this place is definitely the wrong choice. You could have gotten a used 7520/7530 (has 4x LAN and proper 5 GhZ WiFi) for like 10€ more and wouldn’t require the 12€ switch…

    You should maybe do more research before doing stuff in the future…







  • The way to hell is paved with good intensions…

    The current proposal is not specific enough: With your proposal every post effectively requires an artist signature. There will always be some valid reason why there is none. Also who should check/enforce this? The single non-existing mod? xD

    Keep it simpler and make a rule that says: Content created by somebody else requires attribution.

    Attribution could be an artist signature in the comic, the name of the artist in the description or a link to the original source in a comment.
