Once you have this set up, you won't worry about it again. It will just become "the way it is done". And it's just the correct way to build software IMHO, even if you have no plans right now to offer multiple languages.

Thanks for sharing, I hadn't heard of the game system before, how do you like it? What other game systems did you consider?

Used to be the norm back in the day though. I'm saying 15 years or so before the old internet disappeared with AWS etc.

Self hosted should be an option and I think this is a reasonable requirement tbqh. Yeah it's not 0 work but it's not a hardship either, really, given the many hours that are going to be needed on netcode anyway. Especially if you know this going in to development.

100% and I hate the massive queue they insist on having by not optimising anything. So I never go there

How do we replace YouTube? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

There are two YouTubes. One is the "creator" YouTube, algorithms, numbers blah blah

The other is the actual content creator YouTube. These are the channels that people actually follow. If captain disillusion set up his own RSS feed for videos, and I had the method to subscribe to it, I'd no longer need YouTube

The argument that YouTube has the algorithm and recommendations etc is moot, that's the same job that every network does, you could absolutely replace this

The video content would have to be self hosted probably. How it used to be. So we need all these tools to eat YouTube's lunch
