And they say there's some sort of so-called mental health crisis... in c/microblogmemes@lemmy.world

If they're getting inundated with it to the point it's affecting their actual mental health, then they obviously need to change something. Whether it's the quantity or the quality of the content they consume. Logging off and going outside is always an option.

Is that supposed to be some grand statement? Yeah, I enjoy occasionally posting on stuff like this - never said otherwise.

As with most doomer posts, 2/3 of that is just a problem of being addicted to social media - not necessarily a problem with the era itself.

Are microservices really the future? in c/programming@lemmy.ml
[–] kakes@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

I guess what I'm saying is that I think things will generally stay balanced the way they are. Monoliths are never going to completely die out, and neither are microservices.

They both serve different functions, so there's no reason to think one will "win" over the other.

I mean, if anything, I would say microservices are the present.

As assaultpotato said, horses for courses, but I mean, microservices aren't really a new concept at this point.

It's called the linguini effect.

What's Some Tech That Was Better Than It Is Now? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Speaking of analog: Light Guns don't work on modern televisions due to the high latency relative to CRT screens (which had essentially zero latency).

Thoughts on the Fallout RPG? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Picked up the Fallout RPG starter set, and I'm curious to hear people's opinions on it.

From what I gather, it released in 2021, but the first time I saw it was in the store a few days ago - on display no doubt due to the success of the TV show.

I've always been a fan of the Fallout setting, and from what (very) little I've read while flipping through the rulebook, it seems to be almost a mixture of d20 and Fate? The rules seem to have some crunch, while also allowing room for roleplay - again, from what I can tell at a glance.

I'm curious if anyone here has run this game, and what you thought. Do the rules make sense in practice? Did you have fun with it? And if you played through the example module, how was it?

Dynamic DNS vs Dedicated VPN IP (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hi everyone!

I'm looking into self-hosting, and I currently have dynamic DNS set up to point to my home IP.

My question: is it worth getting a dedicated IP through a VPN?

I'm pretty technically savvy, but when it comes to networking I lack practical experience. My thought is that pointing my domain to a dedicated IP and routing that traffic to my home IP would be safer - especially if I only allow traffic on certain ports from that IP. Just curious if that idea holds up in practice, or if it's not worth the effort.
