If “build the server and client in the same language” is a hard requirement, I believe your only choice is JavaScript…

The tone of the post makes me think you’re newer to programming, so I’ll leave it at that, as extensions to this question can overwhelm quickly, but yeah, JavaScript is a fine language for what you’re doing

I probably have about 3-4 hours remaining on Tales of Xillia on the PS3. I’ve really enjoyed this one (this is my 4th or 5th Tales game, AFAIR). Hoping to finish before the week (weekend?) is up.

Not a Lemmy dev, and I invite them to correct me, but…

As a heads up, over the last couple of days, the server and client repos have been tagging beta releases, so the next Lemmy release might be just around the corner too!

What a strange article. The reasoning for why 22 is interesting though very straightforward, and the rest of the article is essentially “I asked for port 22, and they gave it to me”. Little fanfare, little in way of storytelling conflict.

Not an issue in and of itself, but strange with a title of the form “This is the story of…” That sort of titling usually begets intrigue and triumph over adversity, dunnit?

This song and album were pretty formative in my metal journey. I remember that opening riff exploding out the gate, with its off-kilter bounce, and thinking I had never heard anything so cool and technical.

Well, this has piqued my interest. I’m glad it’s more substantial than a straight remake/remaster

I totally respect this being potentially a big ask, but does anyone have a TL;DR of what caused or was the fix for the federation issue(s)? I don’t have capacity at this moment to look through Github Issues and PRs, but I’m curious

Gotta give a shoutout to the End of Year lists from Angry Metal Guy blog. They have a pretty good balance of popular and underground metal from a bunch of different writers with different genre preferences.

They introduced me to Warcrab and Xoth this year, at least.

I have a personal run of thumb. It’s got a thousand and one exceptions, but seems to work a good amount of the time, for what it’s worth.

Hard rock songs tend to have guitar-lite verses. As in, the verse seems to often feature just the bass and drums as instrumentation, or the guitar doing minimal legwork (read: a start-stop non-riff, or sometimes acoustic noodling), before exploding into existence for a powerful (pre-)chorus.

On the other hand, metal tends to be guitar-forward most of the time. The verse/chorus divide is usually heralded by switching riffs, or, in the case of symphonic and folk subgenres, the introduction of other instruments besides guitar.

That which you fall in love as a teenager, innit?

All roads lead to woodworking

I think this belongs here.

I also love the idea of some sort of CI/CD pipeline with this in its linting stage
