When I requested to remove some of my old posts from over a decade ago, just to basically remove trash, I was promptly told by a moderator that no content will be removed unless it violated some OTLand rules. It's a pity that you (the moderator team of OTLand) let some people do as they wish...

Hey guys. Got some news regarding the ISO file for Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021. I have not seen anyone else on the web mention this, so this is huge news and I am very excited to share it with you. IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 is one of the hardest (most expensive) ISO's to get your hands...

Absolutely amazing! Thank you for that!!

Been using Mullvad VPN for years and years at this point, mainly for privacy. But this morning it took quite some effort to enter OtLand. Every IP address in 3 completely random countries were blocked. What has happened during the last few days? Is it that bad with spam accounts that you need to...

Very cool to see, had not heard about Castles / Castle Age. It seems like there were quite a few programmers among the early Tibians. A lot of people were creating content for Tibia, as well as creating their own games. I wonder if anyone of them released any successful game that is still online...

Small update on my setup: It is the same as before with the difference that I now use BTRFS instead of ext4 as filesystem on Debian 12. I've never used BTRFS before but it seems like a better option due to its great capabilities such as snapshots which can be handy. This improves the stability...

In the early days (client 1.0 - 5.0) it was basically just a learning ground for CipSoft as they were trying new things. They started off by using Ultima's game engine and some graphics, and slowly but surely made their own. They were terrible at graphics and content (they still are), so...

So how many of you have heard of Illarion? It was created by some of the first Tibia players (Alatar the Sage, and other members of Lostboy's guild "The Guards"). It was released in 1999 and is still up and running today, although not very active. It is completely open source (since day one) as...

Unfortunately no. Getting a license for IoT Enterprise LTSC is an absolute pain in the ass (even for large corporations) and costs thousands of dollars. I got my hands on the ISO at my former employer. Using MAS (Microsoft Activation Scripts) I was able to fully activate it, no problem. Just...

I don't think he has worked on this project for at least 15 years haha.

Unfortunately, I don't. I wouldn't be too surprised if he still checks out the forum though.

I do not per-se want a fully debloated Windows, I still want the core features to work properly. But I have been looking into such OS's for a while over on Chris Titus' channel, he's been covering pretty much all of them in recent months, including Atlas OS (which has some security issues). It...

I have a business license to Microsoft 365 and would much rather use all of the native desktop apps for that. Not everything is accessible online through their web UI, I lose a lot of functionality that way. Microsoft 365 is a larger suite than Office. it includes Office apps but also some more...

It's been a while since I was using Windows but it's time for me to add it as a dual boot along with Linux. I need it for some of the Microsoft 365 and Office suite apps, for work, and also some other Windows-only apps. I've been researching for a while for the most stable and clean version of...

Have you tried benchmarking using "YABS" (yet another benchmark script) and what do you think of those tests? https://github.com/masonr/yet-another-bench-script Consider also making a script for the tests you made that can be run like YABS. Great summary by the way! Hetzner seems to be the...

If you can't afford a separate server you have two options that doesn't interfere with your production server's performance: Use your home computer as testing environment Assuming you're using a Linux server, setup a swap file and make your test server only use that. Swap is really slow, but it...

I've seen way too many tutorials showing how to setup MySQL server on a VPS. Please stop using mysql-server. Instead, use MariaDB. It is the exact same as MySQL (meaning: the same developers, the same features [and many more]). But MariaDB is much more secure, much faster (2-3x in most cases)...

All I've seen is private projects and/or inactive ones. Have not seen anything made to the public yet that's still being developed. If I have missed any, can you please link to them here? That includes: map, engine, scripts (for a replica server of 7.4). Not interested in anything that's private...

Getting closer to 1337 downloads ;) So lately I've been slowly coming back to (Open) Tibia a bit. I was retired for a few years. This map does contain some errors. But I was thinking of resolving them if there's interest in it. In case anyone would like to help out with that, let me know! This...
