[LurkingLemur]

Got banned for posting dog cocks on someone's profile (until about 24 minutes ago).

In honor of that, I had to include furry porn in my lazy submission (i wrote the script for it over a year ago):

I did not read the rules, just wanted an excuse to post more furry porn.

Great jam!

I'm inclined to believe that you're not Jahred Bruno.
Can you please edit the description of the linked game to include, "Yes, I am the LurkingLemur."
If you are actually Jahred, your Itch account may get shuttered. You may wanna delete your post if you value it.
Cheers and thank you for an exceptional submission befitting a pink triangle.

Is there an example of someone who has gotten banned on itch for posting here?

ITCH.IO has been pressured off the Internet by FunkoPops. ITCH.IO delivers bans for off-site behaviour. ITCH.IO's TOS bans any form of intolerance.
SS13 servers have cross banned users for playing on the KiwiFarms SS13 server.
DOOMWORLD moderators ban participants of the KF-DREAMS community mapping project.
Joshua Connor Moon is relentlessly fucked with.

As far as I know, this is the first Game Jam KF has ever had. It's more than likely that an ITCH janny would follow suit of trends and start purging accounts.
A farmer is willing to host anyways. If you want to cross-upload to ITCH, I recommend using a burner.

PS: Busy over the weekend. Be patient, replies to DMs are slow. Thank you.

Oh okay. Thanks for the heads up.

Hey uh, if you're an itch.io moderator guy person dude and you're reading this: I did NOT submit a game to the KF game jam. Yeah. Yup. Didn't do it. Nuh uh.

After throwing in the towel on trying to compress my file, I caved and went with the 95MB version...and one of my scripts fails to load, but it doesn't say why. Gonna try and sort that out then submit; if I'm disqualified for being late that's fine I just want to share my project because I'm really proud of it despite being a total hackjob.

 

[Lurkerish Kandor]

started backing up my projects by just compressing my entire project folder and saving it to an external drive before making a big change.
It takes up a lot of space. Yes, I know there are better solutions.

It's an oldie but a goodie.

There's a lot to be said of online storage. God knows I have to listen to a lot being said about cloud storage solutions and the virtues of windows 11 from my corpotech brother.

But at the end of the day, I personally still like looking at a little stack of HDDs and SSDs with labels clarifying what kind of backups are stored there. Makes the things I have saved still feel more tangible. I wanna get a little powered cradle I can sit on my desk, and hot plug drives in and out as I want like OP flash drives.

I made the mistake of not starting another little ssd collection for archiving, and a recent spontaneous failure of one of my internal drives meant I lost a couple hundred gig of drivers, software I'd collected, experiments in FL Studio and Reaper, all the assets I made for my videos and thumbnails and shit, and 99% of the ADACA machinima shitpost series.

Don't be retards kids, backup your shit. Preferably over multiple methods.

 

[Oliver Onions]

Finally submitted my entry. In the end I had to remove the part that was causing problems, but it was only a dialogue choice system. Despite the frustrations toward the end I had great fun with this event, and learned a lot (mostly that game development is fucking hard lol).

I've been wondering for a while if there's anything I can buy that would act like a consumer scale always-on storage device I could access remotely.

Since the Internet is only getting worse I've been hoarding YouTube content and other media and I'd like to be able to store it all somewhere I could access from any devices in my house without having to go through the rigamaroo of digging out and connecting individual external storage devices.

I've been wondering for a while if there's anything I can buy that would act like a consumer scale always-on storage device I could access remotely.

There is! They're called NAS (Network Attached Storage) servers and they've become increasingly popular in recent years.
You can buy prebuilt NASes or build your own, the latter is often cheaper and better in a number of respects, but can require a lot of elbow grease

There is not one but two KF threads about self hosting (including but not limited to NAS hosting) and a plethora of content on the wider Internet about it.
Remember, the Linux command line is not nearly as scary as it may seem.

This. I swapped over a year ago after seeing how easy it was to set up a plex server on a $30 Libre Renegade with an hdd.
Works well enough to watch my shows anywhere in the house.
Also terminal commands are a lot less scary now because you can ask claude/chatgpt about what command to use and even give them the paths to the files. The first usage of AI that doesnt fuck anyone over tbh.

I heard it's pretty much the same as how the Terminal works on a Mac, is that true? Because I'm quite happy zooming about on that. And thanks for the links, I'll check those out.

 

[Zeftax]

I'd be careful with that.

I heard it's pretty much the same as how the Terminal works on a Mac

Mac is based on BSD, which is from the unix family. It uses the ZSH shell, which is available on many linux distros, so I think you could set up a linux to be very similiar to a mac in that regard.

 

[August Levasseur]

Yes! Mac OS and Linux are both Unix-like OSes which means despite their internal differences they provide a similar programming environment, particularly in regards to their terminal. By default, Macs use a shell (interpreter for the terminal) called ZSH, while Linux typically uses a shell called BASH or sometimes one called ASH, but can be configured to use a wide number of shells, including ZSH.

Also, whenever you use a terminal you should be wary of just copypasting commands you find on the internet, even if they’re from a trusted source, or an LLM. Check the manual of a command by using man [command] or if that’s not available you can check the wikis for Arch or Gentoo Linux, which are distributions that pride themselves on providing documentation for all the programs you might need to interact with while using them.

 

[Spaced Outside Cargo]

I'd be careful with that.

>redditor falls for the hidden “rm -rf” command
In the computer’s defense, it literally told him it was going to delete those directories with a comment. If he actually read it to comprehend what was going on instead of just letting it do whatever he wouldve seen “#I am deleting all of your directories at the start, retard” and probably wouldve asked it “yo why are you doing that”
It looks like he asked it to display paths so idk why he thought it was fine that it was deleting shit in plain english.

Tl;dr i agree. Make sure you know exactly what each command is doing. Dont just blindly plug in what it spits out.

 

[Lurkerish Kandor]

I'm not the one who set it up so I know fuck all about it, but we have a Network Attached Storage drive. Not the fastest if you aren't accessing it over a high quality LAN, but with port forwarding you could probably access it anywhere you have internet.
EDIT: I'm a sperg, August Levasseur already mentioned NAS drives.

Since the Internet is only getting worse I've been hoarding YouTube content and other media

I think YT is about to massively shit the bed too, in ways bigger and harder to ignore than the ID shit, which is why I've started ripping all my own YT videos I want to keep and I'm planning a shift to somewhere else as my 'main platform'. Probably Rumble, though the streamer-centric nature of the platform makes me feel just as out of place as YT's 'get that Ad rev' money-first atmosphere.

As for other media, well... I've been pirating since I got dial-up at 10.

EDIT: In defiance of my 'tism, curiosity got the better of me and I opened your DM for a split second. Saw the first 2 words of your Statement on the edge of my peripheral vision before hitting CTRL+W, and burst out laughing. Exactly the kind of Real Shit response I was hoping for.

 

[Orphaned Punk]

Create alts on every video website. Insurance and free promo.

 

[Lurkerish Kandor]

Insurance and free promo.

I mean yes you're correct, but I intend to continue locally archiving my shit anyway, and the whole "promo" thing is gross and antithetical to my personality. I also don't like having a big Internet presence, or having notifications and things insist on my attention and having to check all these different sites.

I don't want money or Internet fame (major reason YT grosses me out), and I hate feeling like people are staring at me when I can't stare back. I just want a corner of the internet to post things, and have my things found by the few people who are actually interested and want to listen.

I fiddled around with the godot export options, and the web export actually worked well, runs fine in the browser, and it halfed the size to a still overlarge 40 megabyte. Should I send it to you, @Orphaned Punk, or will you do the exporting yourself? Or maybe wait until next week?

You can re-submit. Thank you.

 

[Whatevermancer]

I've been thinking that it's unfair to have only @Orphaned Punk review the code. Cause firstly, that's a lot of work for only one person. And secondly, the more people look at it, the less is the probability that exploits will go unnoticed.
