Ok yeah if you dont wanna use an engine you should watch some handmade hero. I wouldnt use C++, it's way way more bloated than C, but you do you.
fwiw I use Jai and I would recommend that for gamedev over anything else, plus it works with raylib, but it's not out yet, so you gotta use another language or hunt down a leak of the compiler somewhere. You could also use Odin which is basically Jai lite edition

You might not need to know any C at all, I think you can make fully fledged games for Minetest with lua

C++ + Raylib would be fine. Or Rust + Bevy/Vulkano, but that might turn out somewhat more challenging.

What was the point of all those low power netbooks and tablet computers in the 2010's if the internet became so bloated that the CPU would struggle to load your average retailer website just a few years later? They clearly belong in 2005, not 2015 or 2025.

it doesn't matter that you can turn it off. the fact is they'll spend all their time on AI features and stop working on the browser for a few years until the AI fad passes. then you'll be stuck with a bunch of shitty AI code shoveled into your browser when firefox inevitably shifts focus to whatever the new fad is.

Firefox already has AI in itself, go to about:config and search for "browser.ml".

Why did America outsourced parts of its tech industry?
35 replies and 4 images omitted. Click here to view.
>>
I don't buy into the initial premise that there's a lack of skilled labor. That just sounds like a very convenient justification to look elsewhere for something cheaper. Saying the labor you're getting from elsewhere is culturally superior sounds like just pitting labor against itself, get the qualified people who were rejected here mad at their replacements and not the companies replacing them. This is all textbook wagie manipulation.

capitalists outsource labor because it is cheaper elsewhere. how is that so difficult to say? do they really need multiple paragraphs for that?

Reminder that this jeet is unironically the king of scammers. He made his wealth by creating fake medical company, listing his family members as the only employees and then once he funnelled all of the investment money into his pocket he declared bankruptcy with 0 products being developed. This fuck is worse then Elisabeth Holmes but got away with it presumably because our standards for fraud have gone out of the window. I have not checked recently but I bet not a single member of his family even has any degree in any health-related field:
>>
>>107634120
because jeets have izzat culture and can never admit that they were literally grown by the west for the purpose of replacing western workers. Indians arent just 'lol cheaper', they were born and bred from scratch to replace western workers. They are hired because of their race, they exist because the western elites didnt like the idea of letting lower and middle class whites share in their prosparity, so they created a new underclass and they did it by forcibly dragging indians into the tech industry. They have to pretend that they are just innately superior, some how did it on their own, and that they are just better than you so try harder ;)

heres a good example of this behavior

that's a bunch of excuses and misdirection. dude has how much money? if he has a real problem with the culture of the country he calls home he should try to fix things and not actively make them worse. fact: i knew a bunch of white kids who also barely got to watch any TV and were under high pressure to make good grades. it's not limited to immigrants. i also knew immigrant kids who had shitty parents. vivek can posture on twitter all he wants, but the fact is that he's a part of the problem. this is like the blame shifting with recycling. blame all the normies in homes and make them sort their garbage, when the main issue is the companies making shit you can't recycle.

READ THE (temp)WIKI! & help by contributing:
https://igwiki.lyci.de/wiki/Home_server

/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a OPNsense/PFsense box and configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier already? Setup OpenStack and report back.

>What software should I run?
Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Emby/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.

>Why should I have a home server?
De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your tech skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.

That is exceedingly unlikely, HDDs write data to the platters with their own error detection encoding, getting bad data without it being detected and generating a read error is almost impossible as both the data and the error detection information have to be corrupted in such a way that they still match. Almost impossible. Of course if the system writes bad data to the drive due to memory corruption or whatever, that's an entirely different story, the drive wouldn't be to blame then.
