If you haven't seen it, TastySpleen Studios is working on a spiritual successor to aq2 called Midnight Guns.


This actually changed somewhat recently (I'm not sure exactly when), but I tried it the other night and was able to run k3b gui from wsl2 on win10.


Forgive my lack of knowledge of the TLDs, but is there then an alternative TLD that can/should be used for personal projects or portfolios?


I'm switching my personal website from .org to .us. There are a few major disadvantages of .us: 1. only available to people in the US, 2. private registration is not allowed. While the latter is not a major problem for my personal website, I have a project that I'd like to not have attached to my name, so .us isn't a possibility there. I don't know what TLD to use for that project yet but I'll figure something out. I'm open to suggestions.


Hmm, by private registration, do you mean Whois guard? I’ve made that mistake once, but I don’t know if we’re talking about the same thing.


Yes, looks like WhoisGuard is Namecheap's version of private registration. Some registrars don't charge for that, by the way.


Not having that seem to be a disaster, you wouldn’t believe the amount of calls I received offering to commercially make my website that were clearly personal by name.


Not sure if I understand the first disadvantage. People not living in the US live someplace else, with its own TLD.


Fair point, you're correct. Private registration not being available is the main disadvantage then, which as I said is not a problem for a personal website.


It is possible for some people to cross some borders.


No, but it rationalizes and generalizes the conversation so rather than discussing/attacking a single company, discussion can be about the greater problem and how to fix it.


Do you have a link to the guide you mentioned?
