Since we're here, post to a "Who's looking to get hired" thread. I got a good lead with that the last time I tried. Other than that, ask around and create a relationship with a good recruiter or two.

You can self-host and un-federate PeerTube, such that the user isn't even aware they're on a PeerTube instance. If I had a website where I'd host my videos as an alternative to YouTube, I'd probably go with PeerTube and

That's just the thing, it scales very well if you're only running first party servers for a _paid_ game. Escape From Tarkov had a big issue with cheaters because they would farm ingame currency, then sell it for real cash (Real Mo

How far does PeerTube or something similar go towards solving this problem? You'll still need to seed the initial streams, but if you get a big spike of users, they'll seed the video amongst each other.

Under GDPR, you have to ensure you gather consent properly. If your tools are not equipped to deal with that, that's your problem, not the tool's author's.

Anti-cheat is cancer and doesn't do much to prevent cheating anyways. The only way to prevent cheating is moderation, but that doesn't "scale" (even though every time you ban a cheater they have to re-buy the game and is

You don't need to program Vulkan, just whoever writes your engine. If you need to write your own engine it's fine if you don't use Vulkan, but Unreal Engine and Unity have supported Vulkan for a long time.

I know, just sharing my specific experience. A sibling poster also comments that dictionaries are too slow. They might be in a game setting, but definitely not in a Java backend service.

My RPi 4b runs on a 18W power supply, which would put it at 432Wh per day if running at max load (It doesn't, it idles at <3W most of the time). Any arm NAS is going to have a similar power draw, and you really should pay attention
