The only thing that feels off when playing it today are the somewhat finicky movements

Super Metroid is so good. But you’re right. The controls are… not great.

If you can live with playing a ROMhack, give Super Metroid Project Base a try. It feels so much better to play. The map isn’t quite the same as the original - I consider it an improvement, but it’s not exactly the same.

I just wish the SM /LttP randomizer had the option to enable the new movement.

Star fox 64? I can play the shit out of that right now.

Played this game a lot when it was new, then kind of ditched it completely later. But I often have to think about how good it actually was.

Played both as a kid and found them really cool

0 desire to touch them nowadays and wouldn’t recommend younger people to experience them

And it’s not like I don’t like the old games I played back then, I play a lot of Super Mario World from time to time (though in fairness exclusively ROMhacks except about every 10 years where I look at the original again). Sonic Adventure for me just didn’t age well.

But that’s fine, not every game has to be a timeless classic. I have good memories of the games and that’s what’s important

Welcome to Lemmy!

Unfortunately, I think most of the users here have no insight into every day Chinese life - myself included… in fact if not from your post, I would have had no idea this is a thing.

Anyhow, this is disgusting behavior, and I can’t really rationalize it.

Though for a lot of people, the source of grievance is pretty abstract. They could be victims of the system, and taking it revenge in that is difficult.

I was also with a provider that didn’t offer API access for the longest time. When they then increased prices, I switched, now paying a third of their asking price per year at a very good provider.

I guess migrating is difficult if the provider doesn’t offer a mechanism to either dump the DNS to a file or perform a zone transfer (the later being part of the standard).

Can only recommend INWX for domains, though my personal requirements aren’t the highest.

A lot of paid cert providers were not so great before LE put the spotlight on the issue; it was more of a scheme to extract money from operators who couldn’t afford to not offer TLS / SSL. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647959 was a famous post that made fun of / criticized the system before LE. This hurt security, and if not free, LE wouldn’t have worked.

Also wildcard certificates are more difficult to do automated with let’s encrypt.

They are trivial with a non-garbage domain provider.

If you want EV certificates (where the cert company actually calls you up and verifies you’re the company you claim to be) you also need to go the paid route

The process however isn’t as secure as one might think: https://cyberscoop.com/easy-fake-extended-validation-certificates-research-shows/

In my experience trustworthyness of certs is not an issue with LE. I sometimes check websites certs and of I see they’re LE I’m more like “Good for them”

Basically, am LE cert says “we were able to verify that the operator of this service you’re attempting to use controls (parts of) the domain it claims to be part of”. Nothing more or less. Which in most cases is enough so that you can secure the connection. It’s possibly even a stronger guarantee than some sketchy cert providers provided in the past which was like “we were able to verify that someone sent us money”.

Open source firmware doesn’t mean anything as long as tivoization is happening.

Which I don’t know whether it’s the case, but legislature might make this a requirement.

Ah okay, then yes. I was just afraid it’d be a Boeing

Depends, who made it

Also I heard if you’re looking for the single player campaign (World Tour), Street Fighter Alpha / Zero 3 is better on Saturn than on the Dreamcast. I only played the latter though and I think the Saturn version is Japan exclusive.

By how the protocol is structured, it’s impossible for the address a downloader sees to know what the packet they forward actually contains, so they’re just taking the role of an ISP. Also, they don’t know the original source IP.

This would also be fairly unintrusive, but could add a few false positives.

If this was the case, we’d have a whole bigger problem on our hands.

Even considering the birthday problem, the chance for such collisions is astronomically small. Especially if you combine it with the file size that you always have anyways.

In fact I’d guess that sites like these already do exactly that in order to avoid hosting duplicates (if not handled at the file system level).

Which means you can sell support in addition to the service itself. Mission accomplished!

It was made up in the first place anyways. Russia has 0 credibility on the national stage. If a Russian institute announced that the sky was blue, I’d go out to check. He should be ashamed citing their bullshit, but I suspect that’s an emotion he’s incapable of.

“This is the return flight.”

Not exactly a stealthy name

Nice until you’re at a hotspot that blocks most ports but the most common ones.

I use HTTPS for all stuff, that has given me the best results overall. But of course, you can offer multiple options simultaneously

Also game servers because they’re generally very easy to host at home, and due to generally high RAM and storage needs paying for hosting can be quite pricey.

Really?

I thought this was more the case with flexible providers like DigitalOcean. My current provider charges 5,36€ per month for 4 cores (though I assume this corresponds rather to 2 SMT-enabled cores), 6 GB of RAM and a 400 GB SSD. It offers better latency for most players (obviously not for myself) and in most cases has been sufficient regarding performance.

Maybe not the best acronym, with Node Package Manager around
