@gamingonlinux I tried GemRB a couple of years ago but got the impression that it still wasn't a good experience, but still a curious experiment.

The worst part was how unstable it was, causing frequent crashes more often than the original game engines. This would be one of the most desirable traits, improved stability and crash management like you get with OpenMW (The Morrowind open source engine project).

Has it gotten better? I can't seem to find any recent gameplay or reviews of it.

Speaking of the #MastodonUI two great customizations comes to mind that are both worth looking at.
- BirdUI by Rolle https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mastodon-bird-ui
- Elk Zone @elk https://github.com/elk-zone/elk

Does the new Mastodon 4.2 search allow searching only my favorites like before? ⭐

I have an old post I remember adding to favorites which I'd like to find but unfortunately I'm not sure how to do so.

Appreciate any advice! :AAAAAA:

EDIT: Looks like this does it! :blobcat:
Add "in:library" to search your favorites!

@dalekcoffee It's complete insanity. I don't know what they're thinking turning people's PCs into spyware. Not even asking for consent, just: Congrats, we made the choice for you!

Anyone with this crap on a compromised PC will now not only lose their passwords but their whole life and identity. A scammers wet dream.

To enable and opt-in you follow this account: @bsky.brid.gy
That will start mirroring and federate your ActivityPub account over the ATProtocol and assign a DID.

Then the counterpart for BlueSky you follow:
https://bsky.app/profile/ap.brid.gy
And it will start mirroring your ATProtocol account as an ActivityPub account.

AT to AP seems more seamless since AP has more features. Truncating long posts for example looks ugly. The plan is to thread them eventually.

@0xjessel Does this mean two-way federation across AP servers is active? This is a test post... dink donk :AngeryCat:
EDIT: Seems not

@feditips Thought about hosting #twitch streamer #vods #archives using #peertube to offset traffic costs but unsure how viable and cost efficient that would be.

Considering it may be very low traffic per video if the archive spans back 5 years, the benefit may only show when playing vods from recent streams.🤔

The income for most streamers is also relatively low so there's very little incentive for setting it up unless depending on charity.
