there is also strong positive feedback loop, i guess… among the early adopters who are already here are people who deployed their own instance and found that only way to fix something is to do it themselves and commit the fix ;)
Basically: The game is Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. For those not aware of how the game works, it operates in turns, with every character and monster getting 100 turns to perform actions before the other creatures in the game get theirs. Each action takes a set amount of turns, and you can take actions until your 100 turns are used. So walking a tile might take 80 turns, and running that same tile 40, giving you an extra tile before the other creatures get to go.
What happened here is, a commit changed how limb breaks affect turns, but didn’t put a maximum cap. Meaning that players would spend 0 turns moving. If you don’t spend any turns, other things in the game never get theirs. In other words, time stops for everyone but you.
purchase something like a small Synology NAS and learn how to set up the networking/firewall bits
buy/repurpose a used desktop/laptop, install something like yunohost/unraid
buy parts for your own server, put it together, use the same own server but install proxmox, setup VMs/containers
use the same own server but install debian, play around with docker/docker-compose/ansible
If you don’t have the means to get new hardware, you can use hyper-v or virtualbox for free on Windows or virtualbox/virt-manager on Linux on existing hardware.
Simple project to start with: install pihole and configure it as your DNS adblocking filter at home
install iphole on a VM/PC/raspberry pi that is connected to your home LAN
configure your PC or router to use the pihole host as DNS server
test various websites you know that have ads before and after using pihole
While doing things like these, keep notes what you do by day, using those notes, put together your own howto manuals. Do not be afraid to fail, sleep over it and try again, don’t be afraid to ask specific questions here or on other forums, IRC.
