I don’t see it affecting me too much, but I feel bad for the people it will affect.

None at all. Mods are happy for the opportunity to dictate what other people get to say.

It’s not work for them.

You should use Friendica as a replacement for facebook.

I don’t really see a point in something like Instagram, considering you can just share pictures on facebook already, but Pixelfed is the logical replacement for it.

Make it sexy.

If we had an easier time getting laid fighting back instead of going along, then that’s what people would start doing.

Youtube is actual trash and we have modern designers and businessmen to blame.

Thanks. I’m probably doing something wrong here.

When I try to connect while self-hosting, I get stuck at “Connecting to update server” when Runescape is loading in the client window.

In ~/.local/share/2009scape/config.json, I have:

{
  "ip_management": "[VPN INTERNAL IP]",
  "ip_address": "[VPN INTERNAL IP]",
  "world": 1,
  "server_port": [VPN FORWARDED PORT],
  "wl_port": 43595,
  "js5_port": 43595,
  "ui_scale": 1,
  "fps": 0
}

I’ve made sure the changes persist by either setting the file to read-only, or just avoiding changing the server setting at the game client launcher.

The only change I’ve made for the server was changing 2009scape-master/docker-compose.yml. I put the VPN port to the left side and left everything else the same.

version: '3.3'
services:
  app:
    build: .
    container_name: "2009scape_app"
    depends_on:
      - database
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - "2009scape_app:/app"
    ports:
      - "[VPN FORWARDED PORT]:43595"

Sorry if I come across as a novice. I’m still learning and any help is always appreciated.

Thanks. It could be nothing, but I’m also thinking it might be an issue on my end from improperly changing configurations while trying to get self hosting to work.

I just don’t know enough so I’m going to keep fiddling with it. I’ll keep your advice in mind and not focus too much on the warning while figuring this out.

I’m having a lot of issues, but I don’t really know what I’m doing either.

Right now, when I try to run it on my machine, I get this error saying that I can’t connect to google then asking if I’m offline. I haven’t had this error before when I tried getting it to work, but it’s where I am now.

Ultimately, I’d like to reach a point where I can host it on my own machine with a VPN and port forwarding so other people can connect from the outside.
