They have fairly reasonable guides on their site on how to host for others.

Depends on what part of "set up" you're referring to. Getting the software itself up and running is extremely easy. They have versions available for the full swathe of experience levels from "here is a packaged Electron based Windows application" to "here are the node.js source files". All prior versions are also available if you have specific needs for an earlier version.

Now, if you mean how difficult is it to set up and run a game, that's going to vary wildly depending on the system the game uses and how complex of a scenario whoever is running the game wants to deal with. There are lots of off-the-shelf one shots or campaigns you can run where that setup is already done for you though.

Couple of things I have running on my home server no one has mentioned yet.

FoundryVTT is a self-hostable platform for playing tabletop RPGs online. It supports a vast selection of game systems and user/community developed mods making it extremely versatile.

Pihole is probably something you've heard of before and despite the name is hostable on a wide variety of systems. In case you haven't it's a network level ad blocker that works by taking over the role of DNS server on your LAN and blocking queries to domains used to serve ads or track telemetry.

I'm one of those deranged few who actually used em dashes in my normal typing habits. Not super often the way LLMs are prone to, maybe once a month tops. Alt+0151 or Compose, dash, dash, dash.

Now a find myself reluctant to use what I felt was a useful bit of punctuation out of concern people might think what I'm typing was LLM generated. It sucks.

Eh, no skin off my back. Pretty sure if you search my comment history for the word "grok" this comment chain is the only time I've ever used it. It's not a regular part of my speech, I just never interpreted it in the way you were saying.

or you have such trouble being understood, or understanding neurotypical people, you think you need a new word.

My background pretty heavily leans toward comp-sci and hacker culture, and "grok" in those circles is almost never used in the context of people, so I find it a bit odd that this is what you seem to be focusing on. It had very little to do with the difficulty of understanding other people, and much more to do with the understanding of a language, or nuanced hardware interactions, or programming techniques.

For what it's worth, I agree on your specifics, and if someone is frequently making statements about being unable to grok others, or others not being able to grok them, than it's at the very least off-putting.

It's a useful word with no direct equivalent in English. You don't need to integrate the cult aspect of the book into your identity to understand that.

The issue with just using the geometry from the 3D engine/api and rendering it as stereoscopic is that not everything occupies a specific location in space.

Most notable are UIs which are going to vary wildly in exactly how they're drawn. Also anything that works on screen space or per pixel basis is going to behave in strange ways.

None of it is unsolvable, but it's definitely nontrivial.

Because names mean nothing Nvidia has also labeled their frame generation as "DLSS".

I miss my original Oculus Home. Had a nice arrangement of furniture, a shooting range, a little shelf that held virtual cartridges of all my games, various little statues and trophies that you could display for achievements... and they just got rid of it all.

Immediately killed any interest I had in customizing my virtual space. Why bother if they're just going to rug pull it at any time. They could've at least let us continue to visit it "offline".

Application runtimes like node.js have allowed JavaScript to break containment. Anything could be running JavaScript under the hood now. I've worked with FTP servers written entirely in JavaScript.

Not having a degree doesn't mean they don't know math.
