Swedish dude, who likes software development.

My lame claim to fame is that I live in the town Coffee Stain Studios was founded in.

  • Well that and the machines didn’t have the same performance as they do now. Now you can stream assets from the hard drive and render the game at the same time.

    Games can be better now because we have objectively better hardware, and better ways of rendering assets.

    I still feel like people are focusing too much on details that don’t really contribute to the experience, only to throw AI at it, to make it run better. Effectively making the 4K textures and high Polly models pointless because you are going to look at an AI upscaled version anyway.






  • I’m not sure how real companies handle this, but I can share what we did in a student organization at my university that provided internet to its members.

    Not only could we monitor who was downloading a lot of data, but we also received emails from legal organizations informing us that a specific IP in our network(All members had a public IP) had downloaded copyrighted content. They would ask us to disconnect that user. These emails typically came with an XML file attached, filled with legal information and details about the content being downloaded, often including the exact torrent filename.

    We built a system that would automatically parse the XML and forward the email to the user responsible. The subject line may or may not have been “Use a VPN, you idiot!” at some point.

    We also maintained a “high score” list to track what was trending. The last time I checked, Rick and Morty was in the top 3, but that was a while ago.






  • Skulle vara kul att köra en riktig instans, men då skulle man typ behöva hitta något ställe med redundant lina in och lite rackspace.

    Tycker det är synd att det inte finns något riktigt bra svenskt hostning bolag som riktar sig till de lokala privat personer/bolag, Sverige är ju bra rätt bra på IT överlag så känns lite skumt att det inte finns något som är välkänt.
