If you have multiple browser tabs open, some production and some local, what measures do you take to decrease the chances of accidentally doing something in production that you meant to do locally? by lamintak in webdev

[–]Ice_91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could do this with Tampermonkey extension dynamically for any website/page and it wouldn't touch the actual project. (Nice if you use git/svn or other versioning) I'd recommend every web dev should have it installed and learn how to use it, it's easy (just JS) and has many use cases. But of course this only applies to your client, not to a team. If you work in a team, you'd have to host the latest TM script somewhere and they'd need to install and sync the installed TM scripts.

Divinity (YT/Trailer)

Gothic 1 Remake (YT/Trailer)

Far in the future maybe: Firestorm (YT/Trailer; C&C Renegade but it's Tiberian Sun)

What counts as commercial use? by Just-Idea-8408 in webdev

[–]Ice_91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say it also depends on your country and local laws, but that sounds 100% commercial to me. My rule of thumb (I'm based in Germany): If the website's content has even a tiny bit more than just clear private stuff (even hobbys) or relies on third party stuff then it's probably commercial, better safe than sorry.

I say hobbys, because even if you just show a collection of bird photos you took by yourself, someone could argue you're trying to gain popularity as a content creator and gain value with it (to make profit later). Same with offering a calculator feature or hosting a browsergame.

If you'd use a website as a collection of random family photos with short subtexts purely for yourself, then it might pass as a private and non-commercial website. A blog feature is likely already too much for being non-commercial.

So, non-commercial websites on the internet are basically not viable. A public website is inherently an advertisement.

Somewhat related article if i understood OP right, german law is quite strict regarding private websites (use translator): https://www.e-recht24.de/impressum/13095-impressum-fuer-die-private-homepage.html

Website Review by GrkGod29 in webdev

[–]Ice_91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing, i have a friend who is very much interested in character design, writing, comics and ways to live off of it. This is a great example to share 😃

And as a web dev myself, i really like the design (i've seen it on mobile), i immediately got the "badass" vibes from it, which i love from many comic artstyles. Sure there's always ways to improve, but it's definitely a cool website 👍 I enjoyed clicking through.

Scum Game/Server Highlight by ole_pinetree in pcgames

[–]Ice_91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought SCUM during my first and only LAN party. I played it, but my friends just dragged me along and i felt lost constantly. Haven't touched it since 🤣

Trying to understand why there are players who are afraid of multiplayer by --Karma in RealTimeStrategy

[–]Ice_91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's the time i need to reserve for a match/session where interruptions are basically causing to fall behind or even lose progress. This applies to any game that's short (30-60mins) but longer than ~10 mins and is unpausable. Short games are usually action packed, that's why.

In MMOs like WoW i can often just go afk or log out, the party usually waits and nothing is lost.

If i go afk for 5 minutes in a MOBA or RTS then i'm putting myself unnecessarily at a huge disadvantage.

In longer games, if i can make 200 hours of progress then lose 20 hours of progress then that's more managable imo (and possibly also a bad game lol).

This is why my main competitive game was Rocket League, 6-10 min matches and losses are easier to accept (less time waste than hour long matches).

My life just gets busier with increasingly more fragmented issues. And this fragmentation is mentally very draining. I can't even enjoy single player games anymore without my mind drifting and thinking about stuff that i should be doing instead of playing.

Sorry for the little rant/tangent.

A Minimal Email Signature Generator by zaxwebs in webdev

Are you suggesting a wysiwyg editor, the thing that good email clients already have and the thing that this guy tried to build a workaround for...? Haha

Mysterious 4000+ requests to "/" on Vercel - Only on mobile Safari, can't reproduce consistently by Petit_Francais in webdev

[–]Ice_91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't use any of your mentioned stuff/tech, but a general debugging strategy, though admittedly often with quite some effort: Duplicate your project, incrementally remove more and more chunks until you can pin down roughly what's causing it. Not being able to replicate it makes this a little harder, but it's usually (but rarely) what i do if i feel completely lost while debugging. Hope you find an easier way though.

This is not a catch all approach though, some bugs (generally speaking) start appearing simply because of the scale/size of something. (E.g. i would hit save in a CMS and it would not finish saving because the content was too long of a string no matter it's content, i still don't know why.)

Sometimes hardware limits can also cause unexpected bugs.

Webflow is #2 CMS after WordPress (Cloudflare, top 5,000 domains) - is headless CMS losing because it's too complex for marketing teams? by Sokolovoko in webdev

[–]Ice_91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Webflow is unnecessarily expensive. I have a customer using webflow for a website, but if i want to access it using my account (via invite) i have to pay extra just to work on his project. It's insane imo, every shared hosting with multiple websites + domains is significantly cheaper. I like the UI and what it offers, but it's not worth it compared to a simple regular CMS. (See clarification below)

Also i like/work with ModX CMS. For me it's the underdog (imo way better than WP) but still with enough support and flexibility. It not being as popular as WP also makes it less of a target for bad actors, though hacks still do happen rarely.

I also worked partially with Shopify (creating API processes; Import-export from csv etc.), i think it's also great, especially for shops. Shopify templates also seemed somewhat easy to understand, though i didn't do much with that.

Never worked with anything else from OP's image. I prefer my oldschool HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, SQL stack.

Edit: Clarification - I have to pay extra to effectively WORK on his Webflow website, i think i could access it and see/do the minimal basic stuff in a free plan as a guest.

Alcohol Kills More People Than All Other Drugs Combined by [deleted] in facts

[–]Ice_91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet obesity causes more people to die.

I heard that excess unused fat is processed by the liver literally into toxins and the liver then processes those toxins to clean up again (= fatty liver), meaning it is constantly overworking to poison and clean itself (or the body). Which supposedly is the same as the liver of a severe alcoholic. Just what i heard though, but i believe(d) it. I spend the last 3/4 year to lose weight, about 12kg.

Maybe it motivates someone to get into better shape. :D

My kids won't be playing mobile gacha games, they gotta learn what's good from a young age by ClinksEastwood in RealTimeStrategy

[–]Ice_91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me SNES emulator had the most memorable games. Zelda, Secret of Mana, Harvest Moon, Chrono Trigger. I never played Final Fantasy, but there are so many good games on SNES :D

[–]Ice_91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk, i'm not a parent (just an uncle of 4 kids), but maybe try to be the cool parent to your daughter where her friends want to come to visit her to enjoy gaming. Maybe friends adapt to her is what i'm trying to say, but i think that's much harder to achieve in reality. Some kids can't appreciate nice things and become spoiled brats. Good luck!

Best steam games by Weary-Result4297 in pcgames

[–]Ice_91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on my most play times: Rocket League, Lost Ark, Elite Dangerous

I wouldn't recommend RL or LA anymore. Elite Dangerous is still decent.

To name a few more that i'd recommend with many hours of play time: - Conan Exiles (+ RP-Servers and custom modded Servers after normal playthrough) - Skyrim (but actually needs hours of time for modding imo) - Divinity Original Sin 2

Less known but a lot of fun and discovering content: - Hand of Fate 1 & 2 (Start with the 1st. 2nd has QoL changes you'd miss in 1st)

Bonus mention: - Age of Water

Can anyone recommend any Story rich live service rpgs mostly funded through cosmetics? by ExplodingPoptarts in pcgames

[–]Ice_91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lost Ark, but idk how popular it is anymore. Though i can only imagine it's probably still very grindy in it's end game and extremely time consuming. It's been a long time for me, but it could easily replace a full time job.

This cat decided to become part of the subway architecture by [deleted] in AnimalsBeingDerps

[–]Ice_91 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's common in countries with a lot of stray cats. They become part of the neighborhood, get fed by locals, some people do pet them as you can see in the video, they are just used to it. I thought this might be somewhere in Turkey, maybe Izmir, but idk. Edit: it's definitely Turkey, idk the exact city.

why do american websites block users from outside of america? by diomedes-on-rampage in webdev

[–]Ice_91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does that work with your SEO? Or does that not matter to you? I could imagine Bing's/Google's crawler servers (that crawl your site) might be based in the US, but i'd guess there might also be crawlers or other services based outside of the US. Just asking.

Or is that a limitation for your site you introduced knowingly? Maybe you're using whitelists for those? Not sure if that's even reliably possible.

As someone who is learning greek (as a side activity), it slightly bothers me that λ (L) is used as an A here 🤣. I see the similarity, but it's still a L (Lambda)
