WOW. Holy shit.

You know it’s the devs decision if they want to be exclusive? https://store.epicgames.com/distribution/revenue-programs/epic-first-run-program?lang=en-US

Thanks for the correction.

If you care about Indie games, you should definitely support them to put some pressure on valve in regards to:

• lowering their 30% cut for lower revenue (so something like first 100k free). Right now they lower it only for high grossing games
• allowing to have lower prices on other platforms. That’s genuinely monopoly behavior and I do hope they lose their lawsuits in this regard.

Satisfactory would have never existed otherwise. They got paid a lot for exclusivity, which allowed them to become so polished.

It’s 0% for the first million, then 12%. Genuinely life changing for small devs.

I think they want to detect others distilling their models.

Another case of: use an American router against the Chinese backdoor behind a Chinese router against the American backdoor.

(Or just do open source)

Are you trying to learn how this works or just need a landline?

If you just need a landline, the ISP will give it to you. It’s voip anyway most of the way. Just plug regular phone into router done. Maybe needs to be a proper voip phone in which case your ISP will give you connection details. Usually that connects to a voip server running in your router.

I worked at a voip provider so I want to mention: this is not a “set it and forget it”. This is something requiring regular maintenance with pretty strict regulations from the providers side. Like email, most consumer ISPs are very wary about people self hosting it.

If you are “pretty new to networking” this is not the project to start with, because it requires solid networking fundamentals.

If you really want to go anyway, well… You need something like kamailio. You set that up, get a voip phone that you have to program to register itself. Plan a couple weekends for this because those docs are not for the faint hearted and you probably have to read the source to understand it.

Forward SIP and RTP from the internet to your server (do you have a static ip?). Then you need to find a provider that gives you a number and is willing to have residential connect to it. Then you hope your ISP is not blocking those ports.

Then you should set up some kind of monitoring system because those providers are pretty flaky and will tell you stuff is working when, in fact, it’s not.

Only in the west. In China they use an SD card.

Only bad management is keeping everything from being crazy fast. No reason for today’s programs to be slower than what we had a decade ago.

apt is a wrapper over the apt- binaries (apt-search apt-cache etc).

… and in a country with rule of law whether a contractual clause is legal would be decided by a court, no?

No love for those companies but just because you agreed to a contract doesn’t mean the clauses of the contract are legal or enforceable.

Legitimately most modern games or all of social media.

When I hear “chemically manufactured” I immediately doubt. Everything is chemically manufactured.
