Has anyone run a LAN party on Starlink? If so, thoughts on how it performs? Was just thinking that works and you can rent a generator you could pretty much throw a LAN anywhere. I'd be targeting around 100 people or so. Would probably need 2, one dedicated to cache server and one for everything else.
Project Earth Lan richtet sich an alle die sich noch an die gute alte Zeit von Tunngle,Hamachi erinnern.
Diesmal gibt es keine Grenzen für Lokalen Multiplayer.
Einloggen los zocken 👍
Bei weiteren Fragen oder Problemen helfe ich gerne aus.
Heute zum Leidwesen meiner Frau meinen Elektroschrott zusammengesucht und alles wieder zum Laufen gebracht.
Geil!!! 😄
Jetzt werden Leute eingeladen.

Going on a long flight and wondering if it’s possible to play local multiplayer games between two Macs without internet or any other hardware.
Is it possible to create virtual network or something that would allow LAN without WiFi?
Hoping to play stardew valley!
I'm going to host my first lan party with some friends this summer. Which games should we play? It can be any type of game, competitive, cooperative, I really don't care as long as it's fun
Saw the closed source "LANBucket" post and wanted to share this dead simple free / open source option.
Windows, but will also work mostly the same on Linux.
Download Caddy for 64-bit Windows: https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy such as this one: https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/releases/download/v2.11.4/caddy_2.11.4_windows_amd64.zip
Extract. Create a share/ folder. Move any games, music, etc into share/
Create a Caddyfile with
{
auto_https off
}
:80 {
root * ./share
file_server browse
}
Optionally, create a run.bat with
@echo off
ipconfig
caddy.exe run
pause
Double click run.bat (it'll display your IP address, and run caddy.exe for you)
Anyone at your LAN Party can simply open Chrome, Firefox etc. and visit your IP to download files in share/ with a fancy web UI
Setup should look like
I have been working on this file sharing tool for LAN parties for the last year or so, and I finally think it's worth sharing broadly.
TL;DR: LANBucket is a fast and easy way to share files between players at your LAN parties, without having to setup a server, or do any configuration ahead of time. LANBucket uses distributed network transfers, which means it goes much faster than other solutions that use one central server. This is because we use a customized version of bittorrent, so that when a user is downloading a file, they are also uploading it to other players on the LAN.
If you want some detail on how it works, I wrote up a blog post about it here.
I found that when testing it at a LAN party earlier this year my players used it to share game files, as expected, but there was also interesting emergent behavior where my players used it to share memes to each other. This encouraged me that the UX here is simple enough for real people to actually want to use.
Give it a shot and let me know what you think!
