Onyx tablets reportedly phone home and send "data" to some servers in China. The manufacturer apparently refuses to publish the source-code modifications to the OS and the open-source apps they are using and they even go as far as violating GPL.
Of course I learned all that after buying this tablet. To ease my mind, I spent some time debloating it and then blocked the outgoing traffic to
During the past days, this great article by Sam Pruden has been making the rounds around the gamedev community. While the article provides an in-depth analysis, its a bit easy to miss the point and exert the wrong conclusions from it. As such, and in many cases, users unfamiliar with Godot internals have used it points such as following:
In this brief article, I will shed a bit more light about how the Godot binding system works and some detail on the Godot

I already have my own domain name: mydomain.com. I wanted to be able to run some webapps on my Raspberry Pi 4B running
perpetually at home in headless mode (just needs 5W power and wireless internet). I wanted to be able to access these apps from public Internet. Dynamic DNS wasn't an option because my ISP blocks all incoming traffic. ngrok would work but the free plan is too restrictive.
I bought a cheap 2GB RAM, 20GB disk VM + a 25GB volume on Hetzner for about 4 EUR/month. Hetzner gave me a static IP for it. I haven't purchased a floating IP yet.
A couple of weeks ago I played (and finished) A Plague Tale, a game by Asobo Studio. I was really captivated by the game, not only by the beautiful graphics but also by the story and the locations in the game. I decided to investigate a bit about the game tech and I was surprised to see it was developed with a custom engine by a relatively small studio. I know there are some companies using custom engines but it's very difficult to find a detailed market study with that kind of information curated and updated. So this article.
Nowadays lots of companies choose engines like Unreal or Unity for their games (or that's what lot of people think) because d
