I don't know what the reception was at the time, but people seem to hate Stuntman, at least in retrospect. I loved it though. It's a driving game in which you play the part of a movie stuntman, driving through a movie set as the director barks orders at you, telling you live how to drive the scene. It has a nice variety of movies, and the scenes are actually cool to drive and to watch.

It tickles a part of my brain that loves repeating a task until I perfect it... and boy, you get to do a lot of repetition.

The one thing I don't like is that you suffer a PS2 load time with each failed attempt. We're talking minutes between attempts. Loved it apart from that though.

    Seconding Quartz, but I also wanted to share how I self-host all the services required. I self-host Forgejo and use obsidian-git to make it easier to push my vault changes to my self-hosted repo. The repo has a workflow that runs the Quartz build on any new commit, building to a location my web server points to.

    It works pretty well. About 2 minutes after a change is pushed, the build with those changes is done and being served.

    Thanks for the clarification. By "persist across restarts," I'm referring to the fact that if I just install the agent in my container, it won't persist if I restart the container, unless I install it on a volume which seems clunky. Running the agent alongside in a separate container with network access is the solution I was looking for.

    On the Redis and Valkey restores, that makes sense. Disaster recovery is my use case anyway. Do you document the manual restore process for those? I didn't notice it in a brief review of the docs, but I may have overlooked it.

    This looks exciting! A couple of questions:

    1. How would I deploy an agent into an existing docker container in a way that makes it persist across restarts? Most of my databases are running in containers.
    2. Regarding redis and valkey: what good does backup do without restore? Not trying to denigrate; I just really want to understand how that is useful.

    Thanks for building this!

    This has been my experience with Matrix, and the message decryption problems are a dealbreaker. I hope the person who replied to you saying those have very recently been fixed is correct, but the fact that such a fundamental feature was broken for so long leaves me with little confidence in Matrix. I had this problem years ago on a Matrix community, then again maybe a year ago on a different community, and even more recently on my self-hosted instance. Don't understand how you can push a chat platform that effectively doesn't deliver ~1/12 messages to random users and let that issue hang around for years.

    XMPP looks really interesting as an alternative. Hope that development continued at a brisk pace.

    Couldn't the same be said for just about any self-hosted app? You can watch video files with a local video player, so no need for Jellyfin; you can save passwords in KeePass, so no need for Vaultwarden; etc.

    Seems to me like, if you'd like to have access to this app along with your data from any computer without having to overlay a separate data syncing solution and install a local app on each of those computers, that's justification enough. Or maybe I'm just not understanding your critique here...
