Follow-up to my 512 MB Spring Boot experiment: I tried the same application on a 256 MB Alpine VPS. JDK 21 struggled badly at this size, but with JDK 25 and a tuned 80 MB heap, the app plus lightweight monitoring completed a one-hour run without restarts or OOM kills. Still not something I’d recommend for normal production, but the difference was interesting. submitted by /u/fykup [link] [comments]
Have you ever thought about how a sandbox tunnels a public URL out to the world when one end of the tunnel is untrusted code owned by the user? Take an example: a localhost:3000 app running in a sandbox inside a VM. The user wants a public link for it. It looks like a reverse proxy. It isn't, because the app behind the link is untrusted code. It feels easy, but for security it's full of hiccups. The naive version, and the holes it leaves. If there's just a public URL, anyone can hit it, and if t...

And can it add fierce, frenetic combat to the franchise's formula as a new gameplay pillar without abandoning its core identity as a puzzle game? At ti...
Microsoft's new Fable game was supposed to launch this year, but it was delayed to February 2027. The game's director, Ralph Fulton, said in an interview that he feels "great" about the launch timing for Fable, adding that shifting to 2027 helps the game avoid the "chaotic window" of its original timeframe of late 2026. Speaking to IGN, Fulton said the reason for the delay "is pretty apparent to everybody." He said he was "really looking forward to" launching Fable in 2026, saying he wasn't happ...
Disney and Epic Games caused a bit of a stir recently when they unveiled their latest collaboration: a Fortnite skin that you can only get by riding the Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run ride at Disneyland in California or Disney World in Florida.

Honestly, even though I just made my once-per-decade visit to Disneyland back in Jun...

Star Wars Zero Company is a great take on the XCOM-like turn-based tactics game, and as I said in my review, it actually pushes the genre forward with a blend of new ideas and excellent execution. But as laudable as that is, Zero Company actually managed to accomplish something much more daunting: it made me care about the Clone Wars era of Star Wars. I am an old-timer of a Star Wars fan, raised on the original trilogy, and I have distinct memories of watching the prequel films. I enjoyed them, ...
Alien Isolation 2 stars a new protagonist named Blake. Creative Assembly has been clear about this all summer, but it's only now that I'm letting it sink in. Since I first played a demo of the survival-horror game at Summer Game Fest's Play Days this past June, I've been holding onto a theory that Blake's role in the story is a bait-and-switch--that in short order Blake would be impaled by the Xenomorph and Amanda Ripley, star of the first game, would show up as the real playable character. But ...
The XCOM series has been effectively on hiatus for many years now, and AAA turn-based-tactics games have been pretty hard to come by recently. That's changing, however, starting with this week's launch of Star Wars Zero Company. It's effectively a marriage of classic XCOM gameplay and Clone Wars-era Star Wars storytelling, and within a few minutes of starting it, I got that same rush of excitement I got the first time I played an XCOM game. Typically, I try to savor turn-based tactical experienc...
You might expect people to talk about the visuals, lighting, action sequences, or gunplay after Grand Theft Auto VI's brand-new extended-look trailer showed off over 25 minutes of new footage. But the top comments on Rockstar's YouTube upload of the video deal more with the human condition than expected. In fact, there's quite a bit of talk about death and remembrance. The top comment (at the time of publication) states: "a moment of silence for people that didn't make it here." Meanwhile, anoth...
