Depends on the game.
With a new game I can create shortcut to Counter-Strike with a parameter to connect to a server.
So for me it can be:
1. Server message of the day
2. Start playing
Just don't play bad games. Easy!
If you play bad games, patch it. Easy! -

I never liked how more people tend to "anime-fy" everything they can get their hands on.
In the first image you can see "Monero-chan".
Your typical generic anime girl based off the Monero logo.
In the second image you can see another image representing Monero, but in a more original way. -

Administrators.
Quite a needed role for any system to be implemented depending on the circumstance.
I feel most new administrators after time learn the ways of how to manage whatever they're managing and do what is best for whoever uses their services.
Well I feel this has greatly changed.
What I feel now is that most administrators just do and not think or do things because "my way or the highway".
You go on some underground Left 4 Dead servers and you have some 30 year old or younger admins who don't do much with their powers. The people who try to be an ass typically fail because of server modifications so the admin doesn't even have to do anything since the modifications handle it for them. If someone is causing more trouble than usual then they can just boot 'em to which most cases they do deserve the boot.
Then you hop on other servers and the younger and older (30-40) year old admins are very trigger happy to kick or ban you because they simply don't like you or you did something "wrong".
Sure this is a Valve game so anyone can run their server, but what happens when all the good admins are gone?
Well, why not run your own server if you don't like how everyone else manages their own server?
Well this is certainly not a good solution since not everyone has the knowledge or resources to run their own server!
I think this situation can be pretty much applied to other services or programs too.
You look at Discord where people study the "Discord Moderation Manual" or whatever its called so you have it appear to new admins that "you have to do it this way to be successfull admin of your group chat" even though most of the time you only use your admin when it is very necessary.
Also I believe it is more complex for Discord since you don't really manage the service (unlike Valve games) so if your group chat gets reported for being "too lax" then it gets deleted.
So I hope that people learn to run their own services and be a good admin that doesn't run it like North Korea.
I'd also like to say fuck you to that one server who banned me for shoving a person in the game despite the team not even being able to move forward.
Call it asshurt or "their server their rules" if you will, but its still very gay and childish for admins to talk trash at you and then ban you when you talk trash back. -

I think paying attention to which server or servers blocked you is a waste of time since people are always going to do this regardless.
I think trying to get banned from every other server is a waste of time since more productive things can be done and you don't have to do much at all to get banned.
>In a sense I actually want them to cancer me off the clearnet entirely
Why? It is not like people will succeed with this.
The only time where I have seen a website get "cancelled" is websites like Kick Ass Torrents or Library Genesis. Even in those situations it isn't ICANN or the domain name company who cuts them off, but the company where they get their domain name from who cooperates with the government.
>Just look at the clearnet in current year, more and more websoytes get Cuckflared
Most of the websites are not worth browsing in the first place.
>so I have to wait until tomorrow morning to call back in order to know who the fuck called me
I used to have this problem with relying on terrible websites and I typically just try to find or build alternatives to avoid being in this situations.
Most of the time when someone calls me who isn't in my contacts list I ignore it.
If they don't call me again then it probably isn't important for me.
On the chance I do answer it ends up being some stupid bot that immediately hangs up three seconds later.
Anyways whenever I have to deal with a site like this in the rare case that I really need to access it I do this trick.
1. dnscrypt-proxy, tor, and firefox on system.
2. In Firefox disable routing DNS through SOCKS5.
3. Go to dnsleaktest.com
4. Check your IP address and DNS.
5. If your IP is a tor IP and your DNS is from dnscrypt-proxy then continue
6. Access the Cloudflare website and modify uMatrix to let Cloudflare do its stupid shit
Also I find that every other searx instance is unreliable and had to run my own after searx.me died. So when using other searx instances its more of a matter of finding one with a "clean" connection and that isn't broken.
>That's why I see the darknet as the only true solution to clearnet problem
People can still run shitty javascript websites on "darknets" and transfer all the garbage from clearnet and run it on these "darknets".
The only difference is how you access it. -

...and third times a charm.
First time using "Fediverse" with my own server and Pleroma went fine somewhat, but I never liked the mess and how everything was broken. Especially having to pass the connection from relayd to nginx and sometimes to httpd and then to Pleroma.
Now with new OpenBSD version it won't even load at all. Well. Good riddence I suppose.
Second time using "Fediverse", but this time with GNU Social. There is five different websites for some reason... not a good start!
Everything is very smoother compared to the shit show I had with Pleroma. Too bad the performance with GNU Social is really really bad even with opcache, redis, etc.
I still don't like half the plugins for GNU Social are broken and how some things can't be changed such as the inability to stop everything being saved in awful webp.
Worst part, posting doesn't work. Nothing in logs...
Third time using "Fediverse", but this time I scrap my own and use 076. Why not use them in the first place knowing full well that
"Linux only" software never goes well on OpenBSD? Well. The only reason I even got "interested" in SNS is because of how the majority of people really love using it for communications. Although I am quite opposed to this new style of communication and prefer a good ol' BBS I still have concerns with this.
So as much as I don't like SNS, I think it would be a mistake to not support this. What would I rather have in the future: people using an SNS where they are locked and limited to powerful companies or people who can run their own and not be limited?
Ok, valid reason for supporting SNS, but what not promote 076 SNS?
Well... although 076 does promote free as in freedom speech the biggest problem I see is the inappropiate artwork being shown in the clear.
I do not care for people posting this stuff as long it isn't hardcore (as in being beaten and bleeding and what not), but of course in my area most people are going to see that and be quite upset!
Hence why I wanted to create my own SNS to "censor" the content. Now I do not mean censor as in deleting or blocking the content, but more of having that "this content is not appropiate" overlay on it.
Of course this becomes complicated since manually marking images is just too time consuming and unrealistic, but I am sure I could figure something out.
Why not just simply block or delete the content? Well because this is never the right thing to do!
Unless the content is very bad or contains links to actual onion real life pedophilia rings, then I don't think deleting is an option!
I have my own reasons for why I practice this simply put.
So. If this idea is so good, why am I here?
Well. Let's just say all Fediverse software is very bad. I don't have time to make my own either.
I also think it's a very good idea to actually get a feel for SNS and to see if people will actually use and like such a service.
It would be quite silly to spend an entire year or more developing a SNS program that regular people see no interest in.
It is also silly to develop one when I don't really have much experience with actually using one.
Ultimately I must try out SNS more and see how things work and how things actually are.
On one hand I have a gut feeling that supporting a free SNS program/service is a waste of time since most people are "robot" like and will stick with whatever is popular (as I somewhat talked about before here https://social.076.ne.jp/notice/AKIGYGDCp1zAFgRvHM)
On the other hand when a popular program/service is very bad to the point where the user gets tired of it, they will be willing to try (as also mentioned in that link above).
Who knows. Maybe I will enjoy using a free SNS program/service :^^^
