And that stops the non-morons from using the guns to end the morons rule how?

Sorry to be an idiot but what recently happened to make Portugal not want Americans?

Have you not been screaming about guns for as long as anyone alive can remember?

Ok, this is super interesting and a bit of a weird coincidence, because on the page you linked it mentions that they are also a community of the blind and it is really important to me to have my page be accessible to visually impaired people, and I already made some steps into making it screen-reader compatible. I still need feedback from them though because not being blind myself I cant be sure if what I used to test the screen-reading is actually what the blind community uses, nor if it would actually be useful for them!

Do they offer hosting and ssh access? If so, how can I go about setting all that up?

Edit: Looking at their donations page it seems that they may be partly linked to the USA which I want to avoid:

HOW DO I DONATE?

You can send cash (USD, YEN or EUR), cheque or a money order to:

SDF Public Access UNIX System
PO Box 17355
Seattle WA 98127

Even though their server is in Germany if they have any relation to the USA its a shame.

Thanks. Hetzer seems like its got a good deal (1.76 euro / month max for the lowest tier which should be way more than enough for what I want to do) but when I looked at the scaleway price page I was greeted with several sections like bare metal and compute. Which one should I be looking for to just host a simple webpage? Also, having done a little more research into hosting, I guess I will be going with nginx and gunicorn (correct me please if this is overkill) so I guess having ssh access to the server is necessary. I've got linux experience so thats not a learning curve for me at all.

Edit: Also for hetzer, looking at their most basic tier in more detail, they have this following feature listed:

Symantec Basic SSL Certificate, duration 1 year
You can equip yourself with a free basic SSL certificate simply by going to the "SSL Manager" menu tab in your account on the konsoleH user interface.

The offer only stands if Symantec can supply a free certificate for the domain.

Even though I'm not actually reading any sensitive user data or storing anything, I think having https will inspire confidence and is just generally better to have than not, so how can I make sure that my domain is elligible for the free certificate?

Hello everyone! I just wrote an extremely simply single-page tool using just HTML and Flask to convert google maps links to Osmand.net links, and I would like to host it somewhere.

I don't need any fancy bells and whistles, as long as it supports Flask as a backend.

Im no web developer, so I haven't actually hosted my own page anywhere before. As such, simplicity of use and setup is quite important. For example if it allows me to also buy the domain in the same platform thats good.

While I use Flask, there is no data being stored. All the flask app does is take the link given by the user, convert it to the osmand.net format, and return it. Super simple!

I looked on buy-european.net and found Infomaniak Web Hosting. I quite like the fact that they use 100% renewable energy to power their servers according to the page above, but I'm not sure if it would be the best option given how inexperienced with all this I am.

Would love to hear your suggestions! Thanks

Edit: Ended up going with hetzner. Site is pretty much set up right now.

gmaps2osm.de

It has some screen-reader support (still need to get it tested by visually impaired people), and is also set up so that you can install it as a PWA on your mobile device (add to home screen).

Here is the github repo: https://github.com/promitheas17j/gmaps2osm

I would really appreciate any feedback from experienced and not so experienced web developers alike :D

 

[Solution at end]

Essentially what the title sais.

I want to give this genre a try, but I also want to use mods. Also, Im on Linux so if there are any extra steps I need to do if I install through lutris/steam (as non-steam game) then I would really appreciate your input. The only reason I am currently considering steam as a non-steam game for the install method is just so I dont fragment my games library too much across multiple platforms/apps. If there is any reason not to install it in steam please also let me know.

Much appreciated!!!

[SOLUTION]

Turns out the torrent I found was just a .rar file of the game with the crack file already there. All I had to do was unpack it, then add it through Lutris as a locally installed .exe. I did have to change the runner to proton-ge as the default wine would not start the game. I also had to go into the prefix it created and apply this fix (steamcommunity link) to get it to stop displaying an annoying pop-up message every 30 minutes or so (yet to test it out, but it should work. Will edit again if it doesnt remove the pop-up message).

Also, strangely enough at least for my experience with pirating games, the in-game mod "store" worked perfectly, and I didn't need to manually move files to a mods folder, though I'm sure that would also work just as well.

EDIT 2: The workaround to edit the playtime in the game files worked and I no longer get the pop-up message.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I wouldn't be aware of it otherwise. For what its worth, I left my ideas as feedback there.

Also, I would just like to point out that before lemmy (and subscribing to various EU communities) I was not at all active in voicing my opinion about such things as I didn't have any idea that it was even possible/how to do it. Lemmy as a whole has helped me become more active in this regard :D

[–] promitheas@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago

Id support this absolutely

[–] promitheas@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

Im not calling for war by any means, just saying theyre not allies. China/Russia arent allies, but that doesnt mean i want war with them. But I also dont want us to align ourselves with fascists, they have nothing good to offer, and it feels disgusting being associated with them in aby way, and hoping to regain our friendship with them.

[–] promitheas@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The cancelling of the email account is not the reason. Its a very small part of the reason. The reason is that the US has for decades been fascist (as I have been saying in other threads, it didn't turn fascist overnight with the election of one man), imperialist, and generally a bully. As the UK was before it (and still is, apparent from their aid to the genociders), and as all empires have been and will be. It's always been fascist just been very good at biding it's time before "going public" with it, while working from the shadows to further its own agenda.

Its time we in Europe stop pretending that the US is capable of being anything other than an enemy. Its not just trump. If they do it once, theyll do it again. Whether its 1, 2, or several administrations down the line. We need to start distancing ourselves from them ASAP
