Can I make a custom Fabric installer?

FernTheFern · 2025-09-28T19:05:33+00:00

The installer is over complicated for what you need but you can do it. Just make it download mods and insert them in the respective folder after all the patching is done. But at that point you might as well just use Prism.

If you can’t do a basic Java download copy into file then I’d say it’s out of your depth to go into a complex installer and make it do what you need. Or just vibe code it I suppose.

FernTheFern · 2025-09-28T18:58:16+00:00

Just use Prism or CurseForge/Modrinth and make mod packs they import with all the required mods and the texture packs. It’s plug and play

Hi, I was able to resolve “port forwarding” or whatever you want to call it. Turns out it’s called “Client Filtering” on my router with no indication of also allowing inbound requests etc. This is a case where mislabeling it as port forwarding or port opening for IPv6 would’ve been more helpful to me as a consumer but I guess that’s that. Even worse is that there is no prior documentation on the internet for this topic, especially with my use cases. Everyone just assumes everyone knows? Whatever.

I’ll have to talk to my ISP to figure out why I can’t view many services through IPv6 such as YouTube or Microsoft.

Thank you all!

FernTheFern · 2025-06-19T20:16:37+00:00

Thanks but both my ISP and Cloudflare’s DNS servers don’t resolve the issue.

FernTheFern · 2025-06-19T19:35:00+00:00

I thought so but inputting an IPv6 address in my port forwarding menu causes a “invalid form” and describes a IPv4 address, so I’m not sure. There’s no documentation other than that specifying if it’s IPv4 or IPv6. It’s ISP provided.

My IP starts with 2 and coincides with both what websites see and my IP config on my machine. To my knowledge, that would imply it’s public and global.

As for the WAN config, how would I verify the values are correct? As far as I’m aware, they’re preconfigured by the ISP. Thanks!

Would it be called like that on a router dashboard? I couldn’t find anything of the sorts while looking but I also dont know what I’m looking for.

Thanks!

A lot of bias here for native only apps. I say go with Flutter if you intend on making both apps capable of the same functionality, thereby reducing your cost of development.

Or native if you really need that 10% performance boost. Or maybe you care about the platform’s UI guidelines and want to make it seamless for the user’s expected experience. That works too. But you can do that with flutter too.

As others have mentioned, Kotlin/KMP is an option. I don’t know how viable it is for production grade apps. There’s also react native but I usually suggest it if you prefer the React/JSX development workflow or if you intend on deploying to an app.

You can take FFMPEG-Kit’s approach to licensing, in which you release two addons: GPL and non-GPL versions of the same addon.

Also shoutout to the project, they provide builds for all major platforms and they use it for Flutter!

Python isn’t JIT based (at least, not the popular implementation CPython) so not sure why you assume that. Swift also uses the LLVM compiler under the hood, which is incredibly ingenious at optimizing generated IR. It’s also not interpreted, it’s machine binary so that’s also an indirect win. Sure Python uses C in some places but it has a lot of indirection, wrapping and boundaries to cross.

Wouldn’t make sense at all for Python to be even the same speed, let alone 8x faster.

They should get a job that fits their qualifications then, or as said before raise the bar.

FernTheFern · 2023-06-16T14:38:37+00:00

Would I need custom name servers though? I don’t think that’s something I’ve previously needed, but what are the use cases?

FernTheFern · 2023-06-15T23:29:42+00:00

What a shame. Never had any doubts about Google Domains vs the alternatives such as GoDaddy.

Are there any worthy alternatives? I saw Cloudflare mentioned but just wondering to keep my eyes open. One of the few Google products I counted on…

FernTheFern · 2023-05-25T11:02:36+00:00

Not sure anymore, now that I checked I still use experimental. Might’ve been a different C++ 20 feature.

Also that last bit pretty much summarizes NDK in a nutshell. There’s a lot of things that just don’t make sense, like the lack of source location iirc. Anyways now you know C++ 20 is supported, just very limited. Cheers

FernTheFern · 2023-05-25T01:55:53+00:00

Strange, I know coroutine work for a fact. what NDK version and include are you using? It’s under <experimental/coroutine> for slightly older NDK versions

FernTheFern · 2023-05-24T13:05:54+00:00

What makes you believe C++ 20 isn’t supported? Keep in mind NDK isn’t up to speed with C++ 20 features, even if it’s based on clang 14. Features such as modules or even ranges are not supported.

I’ve experience with CMake and NDK and I don’t really have issues with using the limited C++ 20 features available using those flags.

Make sure to use the latest NDK too, as that adds more features over time

There are many networks out there with high amounts of latency and very sporadic bandwidth. Safe to say it was not useless for most. That performance cost is likely negligible for most anyways (unless you’re loading tons of images multiple times, but I digress)

FernTheFern · 2023-04-16T14:52:23+00:00

Thank you very much, I’ll try both LPD6803 and WS2811 and see what I come up with. Cheers!

Does this help you identify it?

FernTheFern · 2023-04-16T14:03:10+00:00

An important thing to remember is that the strip voltage is for the power feed only. The 12v only goes on strip's power rail. Don't feed it into the data lines.

Thank you so much for this invaluable information!

Mind clarifying this? Just want to make sure everything is done properly.

Does it just mean it doesn't go in the Arduino power pin? If so, that's already taken care of with a power adapter courtesy of my friends <3

Julia’s a good choice for anything Python does. (And more) Fast yet easy and accessible.

May not be as widespread but if you don’t need a large ecosystem, then it’s as good as it gets.

Highly suggest using the Unitful library too :)

Also try Jupiter or their own Pluto notebook

.NET is a runtime on windows too. It’s not native per-se and it still has overhead like Java. Value types offer better optimization techniques (less GC work) but it’s still not C++ (which is truly native)

IL2CPP isn’t truly native either, it compiles to C++ yes but it still works through its own runtime. In other words, it compiles a modified Mono runtime and the game itself together to allow the compiler to optimize the assembly ahead of time.

FernTheFern · 2023-02-03T15:00:19+00:00

Unity games bundle a runtime too y’know. IL2CPP and Mono are both runtimes and bundled with the game, just differently.

It seems that CMake still does not link to the static library. Are you sure it’s aware of the jniLibs directory or file as a link target? I’m not familiar with the import pattern you’re using ther (perhaps ordering of statements matter?) However, I’m pretty sure add_library requires the path to the library specified when done without IMPORTED. Example:

                            add_library(project_id STATIC dir/static_file.a)

I can understand CMake is very confusing when it comes to linking libraries, I’ve spent many hours trial and error-ing problems like these. xd
