Flatout2 - LAN


Anyone know how to get Flatout 2 Lan gaming to work?
It used to work earlier (1;5years ago), but now I don't find any of my Windows-friends when searching for LAN games.

(Disabled firewall, tried different wine versions. Tried Steam version, tried Gog version. Game works fine, but can't find anyone else on LAN and nobody finds my if I try to host).

Sorry this comment won't be helpful, but I used to install Flatout 2 into a WineSkin for MacOS and distribute it to all my students and we'd play it all the time. Such a blast.

Oh also, one time I was in a 4 player demolition derby and we all chose the flatmobile. It was a map where it went to a ramp in the middle and everyone started out pointing right at it. We all just raced to the middle and simultaneously crashed and also crashed the game. I think that was the only time I witnessed the game crashing.

Sorry, just so many good memories of this game!

Flatout2 is the best cargame ever. Wreckfest could be great too, but the devs absolutely wont't add a nitro option. That nitro is what makes Flatout great; no matter how far behind you lag, there is always a chance.

Btw. Anyone know if there exists a nitro mod for Wreckfest?

Are in u same lan with them? Or using some VPN/tunneling software

I am not ready for the fallout if this happens. I am glad GCC leaders said no, but shame about the tomato king of Jordan who apparently will be a willing participant. I hope it doesn't happen, but if it happens I hope the US is taught a lesson and loses really badly.

Video - Is Cuba a safe haven for Hamas and Hezbollah?




Video - Is Cuba a safe haven for Hamas and Hezbollah?


[from the news collective Belly Of The Beast]

Donald Trump made several allegations against Cuba as he enacted an executive order blocking oil shipments to the island on Thursday, but one took Cubans completely by surprise. His claim that Cuba acts as a safe haven for Hamas and Hezbollah has been dismissed as complete nonsense by Cubans, just one in a “long list of lies” says the Cuban government.

There are, in fact, hundreds of Palestinians in Cuba, but they’re here training to be doctors, alongside medical students from over 100 countries at the Latin American School of Medicine.

We asked them what they thought of Trump’s claims.

Answer is probably no, as they have no nukes and no allies.


PieFed vs Lemmy. What say you?

Hello,

Hope you are doing well. Any time-frame (even rough) in mind for Lemmy 1.0 release?

in reply to Blaze (he/him)

We are currently finishing to implement the last feature community post tags. Once that is done there is still some cleanup and bug fixing to do. Soon after that we will publish the first beta version of 1.0 (likely in February), and ask app devs to start implementing the new API v4. How long the beta phase lasts is hard to say, it depends how many problems pop up.


Something to help lead people to the Fediverse


I modified a image I saw going around last year on Global Switch Day
old.reddit.com/r/solarpunk/com…

Perhaps we could use it to make people aware of Reddit alternatives etc.
If you can imporve upon the image please do so, and feel free to use it.

I just threw it together in KolourPaint in a few min.

Piefed: defederates from instances full of really obnoxious trolls

Obnoxious trolls: but, but, but, then how will we troll them? :(

in reply to Blaze (he/him)

Piefed looks cool. I gotta try it. The fact that multiple servers cooperate is nice

It'd be hilarious if ICE got deported. Not happening, but it would be very funny.

Piefed admin settings that allow to enable or disable content filters (they are disabled by default, see body for details)


Edit about the 4chan image blocking, I asked Rimu directly:

I wrote a long message about how that checkbox only notifies about federated posts.

So the difference is for local posts it blocks the creation of the post entirely, but for federated posts it just notifies the admin.

Original message:

codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/c…

A few people in the other thread assumed that it was required to fork the code to disable those filters. That's not the case, the filters can be configured, and are off by default.

To hide the reputation system, here's a line of CSS that admins can add in the admin area to hide it for every user

piefed.social/c/piefed_css/p/1…

That CSS line can also be used by any user wanting to hide the score at the user level.

If you haven’t already blocked every community with “Reddit” in the name, I can definitely recommend starting by there.


Israel bans MSF from Gaza after charity refuses to hand over staff list


The organisation said it was unable to secure basic assurances regarding the use and protection of that information. "Despite repeated efforts, it became evident that we were unable to build engagement with Israeli authorities on the concrete assurances required," MSF said.

The charity added that it sought guarantees that staff details would be used only for administrative purposes and would not place employees at risk.

MSF said those assurances were not provided and that it therefore "concluded that we will not share staff information in the current circumstances".
