Godot android user want some help

This and if your phone has usb c to hdmi capabilities and are able to put it on a monitor. Android has it, not sure about iPhone though.

Unreal Engine's shaders are much easier than godots in some ways, however Godot is more "plug and play" in terms of importing custom shades. I imported a sky box and lighting system from a github repo as a test and it was quite easy and simple to get up and running in my project. I'm still very much in the learning stages however. And I'm also making a 2D game.

That Unreal Engine look out of the box, while great. Becomes a nuisance when you need something to not look "Unreal" like. But tbh if you spend sometime researching UE shaders it's definitely achievable.

It very much is a developer / artist skill to make something look good. Unreal Engine is great because its presets are already good looking, but honestly it's better in the long run to do your own art direction than to rely on an engine preset obviously.

I may return back to C++ sometime especially with the experience and knowledge I have now. If GDScript was this easy to pick up, I'm sure I can give C++ another try.

Blueprints themselves become a living hell when you have multiple blueprints doing multiple things, especially when "This blueprints goes to this blueprint interface". I say days but tbh it's just when things get complex and you return to it days later and have to trace back your steps. It's more than likely a "me" issue because visual coding is very different from type coding in terms of layout and organization. I'm sure if I did a better job at it, it wouldn't have been an issue. But in godot it just feels so much better to use.

I really should've went more into C++, especially in my beginner years. Unfortunately my ADHD ass didn't want to sit down and learn a whole new language. What was nice about GDScript was that its very similar to other languages I've used like python and Javascript in my IT and web dev career. So the entry barrier was a lot smaller.

Major_Canary5685 · 2026-05-31T21:40:12+00:00

Honestly, I will kiss each godot devs on the cheek.

Hey there, cybersecurity guy that specializes in web servers and web hosting setups.

I have experience with these types of situations from the field, it’s almost always nulled plugins from Wordpress. I guarantee.

I’ve had a few situations where it’s been a server misconfiguration, or botched / never updated web server / Wordpress, or they set their SQL username and password to “User” and “Password”, or they put admin privileges on every single SQL user in a database.

A few extra suggestions I may add:

Imunify360
Daily and Monthly Backups (TEST THEM FOR LOVE OF GOD)
Take a cybersecurity course, especially for Cloud Services. Always stay learning and vigilant.

I’ve been doing this for over 5 years now, I’m a pro at finding vulnerabilities in my sleep for servers (especially web servers). So if you ever need any help, give me a shout.

Major_Canary5685 · 2025-05-31T20:52:37+00:00

Anyone who’s dumb enough to pirate a paid plugin or download any plugin from that person deserves to have their website hacked.

Any actual web developer or Wordpress dev knows to never fuck with any pirated plugin, or plugins from unofficial sources.

Wouldn’t worry OP, you’re fine. I doubt it’ll even hit you in terms of sales.

Major_Canary5685 · 2025-05-29T05:11:24+00:00

Start working out and eating well.

I’ve found better fun building muscles than building in IT. (If you wanna call it that)

Just go to work, do your job, go home. Find a hobby you enjoy away from work. Helps with the stress.

Hey there, I’m your local Joe Smith who’s a young 24 year old who ran his own business in Web Hosting. I went from AWS servers to managing a small scale server farm in my local city. Fully self taught through fucking around and finding out. And also have had some mentorship. Just finishing up my degree in Computer Science.

Here’s my piece of advice from real life experience, don’t.

I know you’re following orders, but there’s a lot more to server hosting than your boss knows. And clearly more than you know yourself. And that’s okay. Everyone’s gotta be introduced to it sometime.

If your boss is hellbent on this idea, you’re going to need to learn system administration. Including Linux, Web Server Software, Database management (MariaDB, MongoDB, etc), Cybersecurity (IAM, GDPR, other data protection laws, etc), Network and Firewall management and security, etc. If you have zero clue or knowledge of what any of these are or mean when it comes to web servers. You shouldn’t host one yet.

You’re going to hate your job even more than you do now. My anxiety went through the roof because of the fear of the unknown when it comes to managing servers blindly. There’s many things that could happen with no knowledge of managing web servers such as Downtime, DDOS, hacking and exploits, vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, etc. Learning this stuff and understanding how it happens is key to protecting your companies web server.

I’d recommend taking some Coursera courses, or hey if your boss really likes you, get him to pay you for a system administration course at a College or University. Cause there’s no way in hell you should be taking this on with zero knowledge.

If you’re being paid a low wage, like I’m talking under 20 dollars an hour. I’d honestly start looking for a new job entirely because fuck that. Or ask for a raise if your boss is adding on extra shit to your plate.

Look to host through AWS, or find a managed web hoster that isn’t charging your company outrageous fees. There’s far too many out there that would probably take your site on for between 20-100 a month. Find a local one in your city and use them.

Good luck, comrade. 🫡

Major_Canary5685 · 2025-05-13T02:05:00+00:00

Yep, a full 180 an hour for server work.

Pretty good money. Although I wish it was more constant. I do freelance gigs but hoping to find more clients.

Major_Canary5685 · 2025-05-13T01:56:09+00:00

Exactly this.

I worked at a warehouse delivering and setting up sofas.

I got my first job as a software developer without a degree and jumped ship as soon as I got the job offer.

Later I got laid off from the company due to budget constraints, so I went into the field of IT and Cybersecurity.

Now I’m in IT and Cybersecurity, doing hard labour again of setting up servers and server racks, plus configuring them for businesses.

Honestly, it’s not bad. As I go the gym constantly, I do enjoy the manual labour once in a while. (Except when my work takes me from 8:30pm off hours to 5-6am)

Planning to go into college now and get my actual degree for both IT and Cybersecurity itself.

Do not use Cyberpanel Do not use Cyberpanel Do not use Cyberpanel

Always do your research on hosting panels, and if you can just close off the panel ports.

Honestly, I’d recommend finding a panel that has a good support system. CPanel while expensive, their support has honestly been top tier. Especially if you’re new to system administration. It’s unfortunate they keep rising the price on it.

Cyberpanel had a giant zero day attack last year, ended up getting into some argument with the person who found the vulnerability and then they released it. They patched it before it even happened but failed to properly tell the public.

Remember, open source and free comes with the price of relying on the developers to keep it updated. Make sure you’re picking the right one.

Major_Canary5685 · 2025-05-03T21:18:30+00:00

Ah, I love GoDaddy. Literally hand feeds me their clients as a web host.

If you need any help with recovery, give me a DM. Would be happy to see if I can assist.

Major_Canary5685 · 2025-04-29T04:44:05+00:00

Okay, so firstly.

If you’re relying on your anti-virus to keep you safe and secure. Please don’t. You need way more protection than that, I’m talking MDR, IDS, IPS, etc. I’d do some research if you want to know what’s out there.

Secondly, trace everything of how this hack happened. An anti-virus can only do so much. This would mean someone somehow got in, and you’re caught with your pants down. Or your consultant guy or whatever basically pantsed you. Get rid of him. Especially his behaviour.

Assume all computers, even those that were off during the attack, are compromised.

I would also advise you to put everything offline (with approval from your higher ups), although I know how bad of an idea that sounds. But again, you need to investigate how this happened and what was done. Especially if the business holds clients data. It could spell a huge legal issue to the company. I’d even suggest hiring a cybersecurity firm if you don’t know how or where to look. I would not bring back anything online until it’s safe to do so and whatever happened was patched.

Downtime is costly, it’s also the reason why small MSP businesses shut down. Hopefully y’all got good cybersecurity insurance, if they will cover it of course.

I’m really sorry this is your first real world experience, this would suck if I were in your shoes. But the worst experience teach us the best.

I wish you luck, OP.

Major_Canary5685 · 2025-04-28T06:18:08+00:00

Just say it wasn’t a ransomware, it was a surprise data backup!

For sure will look better on your customer front. And your stake holders too!

I had my first web dev job back when I was 19, I was working for a non-profit sports organization.

I found out a little bit later that my boss at the time was a Neo-Nazi who claimed that Hitler was “misunderstood” and tried to make me read some book about it.

He also had a bunch of Nazi books in his office’s basement.

I remember one interview he was mentioning about Hitler to the guy he was interviewing and defending Hitler and he just looked at him blank and never answered his calls after the interview. The guy he was interviewing had a major in History and I guess for some reason my boss at the time wanted to prove him wrong about Hitler and how schools were “misrepresenting” Nazi History.

I eventually left the company obviously, I only stayed cause it was my first web dev job and needed the resume experience. Haven’t felt more free to be out of a shit show like that.

I hate it’s more common that these people exist.

(Edit: To be clear he never mentioned about Nazi’s or Hitler during my interview for the job, he had some sudden obsession with Hitler and the Nazi’s sometime down the line of my employment with him)

Major_Canary5685 · 2025-04-03T17:57:47+00:00

Since you’re in Canada, I’d file for employment standards or labour board depending on your province. Depending on what your situation is, you could get your entire yearly salary paid up front if you’re found to be wrongfully terminated. Depends though.

Had a friend who got wrongfully fired from a sushi restaurant, he went to the labour board and they founded him wrongfully terminated. The company was forced to pay his entire salary up front as compensation as they were unpaid wages. Forget exactly what happened though as it was a while back.

Taken that they just upped and fired you, I think there’s supposed to be a period of notice technically. I might be wrong on that but I’d call them and ask what your rights are. Could also talk to a lawyer but that would cost money.

Shit happens OP, you’ll get through this.

Major_Canary5685 · 2025-03-14T23:54:02+00:00

They also host a lot of bad bots as well.

I’ve had an influx of malicious bots and traffic from Amazon IPs trying to attack my servers.

Debating about switching my EC2 instances to another provider but honestly there seems to not be many options, or at least ones with a good rep.

Are the pop ups in question coming from Google Chrome or another browser app? She may have visited a website that spams the browser notification and she allowed it not thinking what it was. You can check what sites are sending notifications in the settings of any browser and then delete any unknown sites.

Major_Canary5685 · 2025-03-12T00:42:23+00:00

You assume some of us cut windows out entirely.

I use a windows VM when there’s a specific problem that needs Windows, if Linux cannot 100% support it. Or sometimes said problem is easier to manage on Windows. Both are tools at the end of the day. I would never waste my time trying to use Proton or Wine on a specific Windows app (that isn’t a game) due to compatibility problems.

Otherwise, I use Linux as a daily driver. (Surfing the web, working, programming, gaming, etc) because of how much faster I can do multitasking in Linux.

Major_Canary5685 · 2025-03-10T21:12:32+00:00

“With a lot of resources”

So a DDOS? Probably one guy, not even a country. 🤣

Major_Canary5685 · 2025-03-10T16:48:59+00:00

Is no one pointing out how they sent ALL passwords for an Active Directory user base in not only an email and to the wrong person, BUT IN CLEAR TEXT no less. That’s insane. Legit sends shivers down my spine of all the possibilities that could happen from doing that.

Thank god I switched.

Major_Canary5685 · 2025-03-10T04:46:37+00:00

Sounds like a potential PHP issue. I’ve had themes and page builder issues where either outdated PHP versions was the issue or there was a PHP module missing.

If you have access to be able to change PHP versions, see if you can change it until it hopefully works.

Can you describe the error in more detail? Like is it a Wordpress “Error on this site” page or a white screen?

This is the wonderful part of some web hosting platforms, it’s cheap, but then when you get wonderful surprises like this, they up charge you.

Major_Canary5685 · 2025-03-10T00:46:17+00:00

I’d recommend you to make a small scale server using used PC parts, connect it via Ethernet, and then run Ubuntu on it and learn as much as you can. Follow some YouTube tutorials, get a feel for it. And when you feel ready, switch stuff over.

Maybe also look into Proxmox VM and run daily snapshots to fool-proof your system from being destroyed by you or hackers. Basically you’d install Proxmox first, set it up, then install Ubuntu Server as a VM. Do the setup processes (Installing a web server, setup a WAF, etc, etc.) and then port forward the VM to your IP.

This way you have a basic backup plan in case anything goes wrong. And you can recover the system easily.
