Prepared a dedicated Project Zomboid server for a few friends and I to play on, but before testing I got distracted and started making a proper implementation of running PZ through systemd. I'm picky when it comes to how services are run, even if it's through wine and steam and hundreds of other abstractions.
Makes sense in the long run, as the plan is to only have the game server running a few hours on a fixed schedule per week, so that we all can set aside one evening for it. We're all adults with kids and family obligations, so we concluded that it was best to have it on an automated schedule so one of us doesn't loot the entire map before the rest have barely found the time to play.
Now I'm sitting in discord waiting for the others to come online so we can test the entire setup and the world settings. In the meantime I'm typing this, while watching a 3d print in the works (just a mundane test-print, nothing exciting).
