Why bother? just use opensource Minetest or something.    

Because I didn't know it existed.  (And apparently it's called "Luanti" now.)

There are several OSS alternatives to get one out of the commercial hut. That was just one i remember seeing some time ago, as being the highest rated alternative.

hadn't heard of Tinc ... looking at that, it looks a lot like

I've been aware of it for a long time but never actually used it. Always wanted a good excuse to give it a spin.

I think people playing old games over the Internet tend to use Hamachi. I have never used it but I understand it is one of those out-of-the-box soultions for normies that uses a STUN server provided by the operator of the application.

And another 'opensource project' seems to have lost its way...

 

Exo company, 'bla bla opensource toolkit bla bla ' for about a year.. Now they have stopped even commenting on GitHub, let alone zero contributions for months ( and several things are broke, its not mature..) I suspect they used the community for free testing/bug fixes to get over the hump for their internal product, then walked.  The company still exists, they still are selling products. 

 

Scumbags.

 

Seeing this far too often.

Scumbags for sure. As a companion concern, there are those who posit that the "rewrite everything in rust" crowd is actually the "rewrite everything with a license more permissive than the GPL" crowd.

Richard Stallman is basically just Nikita Khrushchev with a keyboard, but the GPL itself is good. I'll continue to use it and encourage others to use it.

i don't know much about him since i wasn't really around at the time, but i do think the concept of 'help out and make it better, but keep it free' is a good thing.

Who knows where we would be today in tech if that didn't happen, and 'take off'.

Some observers have pointed out that the effort to establish an open source ecosystem was absolutely the right thing to do, but if it weren't for his abrasive antics it might have gone mainstream at least a decade earlier.
