You can do this by configuring an HTTP server (e.g. Apache) to listen on port 80 and/or 443 (HTTP and HTTPS standard ports, respectively) and select which site to serve based on the name of the site requested. Apache documentation for this feature is here: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/name-based.html

Note the sample config snippet showing how to set up a simple static site serving both www.example.com and other.example.com using ServerName in a VirtualHost to select between them.

You can also have Apache match a pattern in the URL and reverse proxy to another HTTP server -- that can just be another program on the same computer listening on a different port, or could be on another computer entirely. See the simple reverse proxy config example on this page for a starting point: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/reverse_proxy.html (Note also that you probably don't need anything further down that page -- e.g. the load balancer and failover stuff is not likely to be useful to you for a small personal project.)

Other popular HTTP servers can do this too; I just happen to have done it with Apache before.

Best way to fix that is to join in and post something!

Otome isn't my personal interest (my sexuality goes the other way), so I don't have much to say myself, but I've seen Elevator7009 trying to build a community first on kbin.social (before that site died) and then on kbin.run (before it died) and now there and I'd like to see her efforts succeed.

If you're not interested, feel free to ignore it, but if you'd like a place on Lemmy for discussion, there are at least a few people there who've been trying their damnedest to get something going.

I know; they should not be allowed to do that.

Mozilla's non-profit status needs to be revoked.

I'm a huge fan of otome visual novels, but I don't think it's something that many here would appreciate lol

FYI: !otomegames@ani.social

Definitely! I usually name my files starting with YYYY_MM_DD (which makes it easy to sort by the date I started making the file), a number for which entry it was on that day (1,2,3,4... plus sometimes a letter too if I want to keep multiple drafts), and a few words if I have other details I want to remember. e.g. "transcribe_song_by_artist" or things like "cont_YYYY_MM_DD-entry" when I continue working on a piece from a long time I ago. Sometimes I add a title after that too if I wanted to give the piece one.

I set up a couple profiles with different colored backgrounds so that I can easily visually distinguish terminal windows when I have several open at once. For example, I usually switch the profile to one with a red background when I ssh into a server to help avoid confusion about which system I'm running commands on. I also cranked up the font size a bit in all profiles to make it easier for me to read.

Deliberately copy snippets of a work you're interested in as a study -- e.g. transcribe it -- and experiment with elements you find interesting (rhythm, chords, synths, effects, whatever) in small test pieces to make sure you understand what's going on. Let the ideas stew for a while and then much later try to use the techniques you learned in a real piece.

That's what I do anyway.

GoG homepage > (your name [drop down menu] when logged in) > "Games" > Click on any game in your collection > Download offline backup game installers

You can download installers for whatever systems the game supports -- usually that's just a Windows .EXE installer (+ several .bin files if the game is large). For games intended to run on Linux w/o WINE, you can select "Linux" from a drop down where it says system and it will give you an .sh file.

If you want to improve significantly, go read someone else's code and modify it. Try to fix a bug in a program you use, add a feature you want that doesn't exist already, or even just do something simple for the sake of proving to yourself that you can do it -- like compiling it from source and figuring out how to change some small snippet of text in a message box. Even if you don't succeed, if you put in a serious effort attempting it, you will almost certainly learn a lot from trying.

Edit: changed wording to try to be clearer

Glad I could help you make progress -- I hope you can get it all the way working now. Good luck!

How 'bout that! :D

If the SSD itself is OK, then it was probably trying to boot the SSD still. The blank screen issue might have to do with the graphics drivers then? I remember having a similar blank screen problem with Ubuntu a long time ago where I had to put in "nomodeset" as a parameter in GRUB when booting until I got the right drivers set up.
