Autostart duckdns?

I've been following setup guide on their site for raspberry pi, but in the end it says "to automatically start cron on reboot, in Raspmbc you check the option in the Programs Raspbmc menu in XBMC", which from my understanding refers to media center focused distro, and I'm running Buster, so I have no clue how to start it on boot here.

Apt-get games

I am returning to Linux after a long time. Now I am using a linux with apt-get and I love it. I like getting games via apt-get sometimes guessing names of games to install. Like you might think I have looked up apt-getable games (Is apt-getable a word?) and wanted to see more. Is there a really long list of all the games you can get via apt?

​

...And yes of course I have nethack.

Serious questions about open-sourcing my Master of Orion game

hey guys, my modernization of original Master of Orion, in Java because I am a Java fanboy, is about to reach a feature-complete beta state and go open-source. The game was developed in Linux and I have confirmed that it will run on a Raspberry Pi with at least 2G of memory. I am literally just weeks away as I finish the final features.

I have been working on this game for over 5 years, have invested somewhere north of $40K in artwork, writing and sound design to make a game that I am giving away for free. The game has been texted extensively over 5 different public Alpha tests during that time so it's already pretty polished and stable. You can see some screenshots from the itch.io download page at:

https://rayfowler.itch.io/remnants-of-the-precursors

I've never sunk this much time and effort (or money) into one of my projects, so the prospect of publicly open-sourcing the code is kind of scary for me. That's why I am making this post. I originally posed these questions in the java subreddit but someone mentioned that /r/linux was a better place for them and I thought, "duh, of course".

* What is the public repository of choice among the open-source community?

* What should I do about licensing? Obviously I am leaning towards copyleft but want to make sure I do something that is legally correct

* What kind of supporting documentation is expected for projects like this?

* What else do I need to know before open-sourcing?

Because of the scope of the code, I expect there's a good chance I am going to get a lot of questions from fellow coders once they see the code so I want to do as much ahead of time to mitigate their questions.

Also, I am very much a citizen of reddit, so I have worked hard to centralize discussion about the game itself at /r/rotp. However, I am hoping that here I can get useful advice about the open-sourcing process.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

I put this together over the weekend, figured I'd share here for a good Monday Lunch treat ;P


Video was put together using all open source products, no video editor was needed.

Komorebi + multi-layered ProjectM + VLC + Gnome + Creative Commons Music/Videos, screen-recorded on a Linux Desktop.


I'm sure there are a number of ways to do this, though this was all done live on the fly with manual desktop usage. Cobbled noscripting engine for driving it still to come ;P
