Tell them to use a free streaming site. Here’s one of the best: https://hydrahd.io/

Stop working harder for the businesses taking your money.

Hopefully we can see more efforts at generalizing phone OSs so they work on most devices, similar to how we have laptops.

The people coming up with these ideas should be lynched.

The difference is how much money they’re making and how they’re spending it.

For pretty much all creators bitching about not getting paid enough, it’s so they can live lavish lifestyles without having to think about what they spend their money on.

Everything.

Piracy is a tool to help reduce the disparity in wealth.

The only time you should buy something that you could pirate is if you can’t find it and you plan on sharing it with everyone else. I call this “taking one for the team.”

It’s where the useful idiots are being herded. They are using it because it’s “not twitter” and other people are influencing them. They don’t care about decentralization.

Sorry, it should be up again now.

I’ve updated the post with the instructions. I don’t really plan on hosting this for a long period of time, at least not in this state.

I hope some people have gotten some use out of it.

Thank you!

Thanks. This is new to me and I’m going to be looking into it.

No problem.

For my VPN, it tells me the forwarded port in the software’s GUI. I’m not sure how to find it out through the command line.

Thanks.

It’s my understanding that https provides encryption for the data sent between you and the server. If you’re not sending any sensitive data, then the encryption shouldn’t be necessary.

Don’t get me wrong, encryption is great even when it isn’t necessary. For my demonstration purposes though, I chose not to include it.

I also believe it’s possible to set up HTTPS encryption without a domain name, but it might result in that “we can’t verify the authenticity of this website” warning in web browsers due to using a self-signed certificate.

It’s not dumb at all! Don’t be afraid to ask. I’m not an expert and still learning myself.

The VPN is running on the same machine that I am hosting the website on. There may be some configuration you can do to perhaps have the connection routed through your raspberry pi with a VPN running on it to the machine that’s hosting the website, but I’m not sure how.

Otherwise, you should be able to at the very least run the entire setup on a raspberry pi.

I was able to run the server properly after building it with ./build -g. I can connect if I select the local server and therefore have localhost for ip address and ip management in the config.

If possible, I’d like to find out where I can put my VPN’s internal IP address (assuming that’s what I need) so I could have the server listen on that interface and let people connect to my server from the outside.

Thanks again for all your help and your contributions to this project.

Thanks. Now I’m getting validating 2009scape-master/docker-compose.yml: services.healthcheck additional properties 'timeout', 'interval', 'retries', 'test', 'start_period' not allowed when I run docker-compose up.

I’m using the repository at https://gitlab.com/2009scape/2009scape

Doing what’s right doesn’t always mean doing what’s easy.

Yeah, the soccer industry is full of some of the scummiest people on earth.

There’s a lot of money to be made off of idiots who don’t know any better for doing pretty much nothing.

You can play multiplayer games with LAN support together for free using a program like Hamachi.

Use a free VPN (https://riseup.net/en/vpn) to download the game for free. I usually go for fitgirl repacks if they’re available. Then you and your buddies can connect to the same ‘server’ using Hamachi and play together.

I recommend doing this with the new Halo collection and Baldur’s Gate 3 so you can see it’s possible, even with new and advanced games.

Brains > wallets, don’t be a corporate simp.

All the more reason to host anonymously.

Thanks. I’m probably doing something wrong here.

When I try to connect while self-hosting, I get stuck at “Connecting to update server” when Runescape is loading in the client window.

In ~/.local/share/2009scape/config.json, I have:

{
  "ip_management": "[VPN INTERNAL IP]",
  "ip_address": "[VPN INTERNAL IP]",
  "world": 1,
  "server_port": [VPN FORWARDED PORT],
  "wl_port": 43595,
  "js5_port": 43595,
  "ui_scale": 1,
  "fps": 0
}

I’ve made sure the changes persist by either setting the file to read-only, or just avoiding changing the server setting at the game client launcher.

The only change I’ve made for the server was changing 2009scape-master/docker-compose.yml. I put the VPN port to the left side and left everything else the same.

version: '3.3'
services:
  app:
    build: .
    container_name: "2009scape_app"
    depends_on:
      - database
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - "2009scape_app:/app"
    ports:
      - "[VPN FORWARDED PORT]:43595"

Sorry if I come across as a novice. I’m still learning and any help is always appreciated.
