They could be, but 2M new Brazilian users after Twitter’s block there actually seems quite low and definitely credible.

On iOS I’ve been using Vinegar - Tube Cleaner by developer And a Dinosaur. It doesn’t replace YouTube as a whole - only the video player. Better interface, no ads.

So are the USA, or at the very least being complicit and enabling. Furthermore, of the Palestinians themselves!

c10l , (edited )

Of course not. Israel is not only rounding up Palestinians but also bombing them, raping them, destroying their infrastructure, killing international aid workers to stop help coming in, destroying their schools and hospitals, … all with the support, political, financial and in weapons, of “the west”, led by the USA.

Edit: and with very little hope of that changing after elections. theintercept.com/…/kamala-harris-cnn-interview-is…

How is that a fix? You added weight to my argument.

“The world” is not letting it happen though. The USA were the only country to veto the 2 cease-fire Security Council resolutions early in the conflict, only to later propose a washed down, toothless resolution.

The USA remains silent over the ICJ’s ruling after South Africa’s genocide case.

The USA are the ones slapping Netanyahu on the wrist but still supplying him with weapons, money and intelligence.

The fact that it’s a 10 year contract has nothing to do with the issue. Surely your weapons and money being used to perpetrate a genocide would be reason enough to breach the contract, if there was political will. The problem is, there isn’t.

c10l ,

Are you trying to compare the USA selling missiles to Israel to Glock producing pistols? And a troubled teenager with a gun to a genocidal maniac?

I’d be willing to entertain you if the question was related to the thread at all but I don’t see how it is.

c10l ,

It’s not, you know it isn’t. You just don’t like the outcome of it because you’re already left with no arguments and are clutching at fallacious straws. It’s ok though, you do you. You’re either a troll or just not very good at arguing your point. Either way, you have been blocked as I have better things to do with my time.

Why are so many leaders in tech evil?

I remember when I was growing up, tech industry has so many people that were admirable, and you wanted to aspire to be in life. Bill Gates, founders of Google Larry Page, Sergey brin, Steve Jobs (wasn’t perfect but on a surface level, he was still at least a pretty decent guy), basically everyone involved in gaming from Xbox...

I found Tailscale to be easier to install and configure than ZeroTier, and also to have better performance.

I have never used Twingate.

c10l ,

That makes zero sense. Where did you get that idea from?

For reference, here are their docs describing key management. tailscale.com/blog/tailscale-key-management

Could you provide a source for this claim? Not doubting you but I haven’t seen it.

Hey! Sorry you had these bad experiences.

My setup is on Debian testing and is documented on this blog post: blog.c10l.cc/09122023-debian-gaming

I don’t have an Nvidia card but other than that, this should give you a head start, including virtual surround on headphones if that’s your thing!

I promise it’s not a lot of work and I tried to make it all easy to follow (feedback welcome though!).

If you decide to give it a go, let me know how it went!

Monitoring if the backup task succeeded is important but that’s tue easy part of ensuring it works.

A backup is only working if it can be restored. If you don’t test that you can restore it in case of disaster, you don’t really know if it’s working.

c10l ,

Yes, absolutely. Ideally there would be an automated check that runs periodically and alerts if things don’t work as expected.

How do you use ChatGPT anonymously? It requires a valid login linked to a payment method. It doesn’t get any less anonymous than that.

Ah got it. I didn’t know there was a free tier!

c10l ,

Not much use to go Ubuntu or Mint, unless you have specific issues with Debian that don’t happen with those. Even then, it may be one apt install away from a fix.

If you want to try out BSD, power to you. I wouldn’t experiment on a backup computer though, unless by backup you just mean you want to have the spare hardware and will format it with Debian if you ever need to make it your main computer anyway.

Otherwise, just run Debian!

c10l ,

The main “instability” I’ve found with testing or sid is just that because new packages are added quickly, sometimes you’ll have dependency clashes.

Pretty much every time the package manager will take care of keeping things sane and not upgrading a package that will cause any incompatibility.

The main issue is if at some point you decide to install something that has conflicting dependencies with something you already have installed. Those are usually solvable with a little aptitude-fu as long as there are versions available to sort things out neatly.

A better first step to newer packages is probably stable with backports though.

Up until a few months ago, Vulkan was very unstable on BG3. It’s been fine for a while though. I haven’t made performance or smoothness comparisons though, I just default to Vulkan and it’s been fine.

Instead of being a dick about it, why don’t you show what they’re doing and why you don’t like it, so we can all be educated and/or have a conversation about it, so everyone can decide for themselves if it’s a problem for them?

I don’t mind the order of path, arguments and options, but what the hell is the deal with long arguments with a single dash? i.e. -name instead of —-name

I fairly constantly need to disable Bluetooth on my iPad so they work on my phone.

If you put the headphones in pairing mode, you can just re-pair with the phone without having to touch the iPad.

Russia threatens Britain with retaliation if involvement in Ukraine war deepens (www.pbs.org)

Russia on Monday threatened to strike British military facilities and said it would hold drills simulating the use of battlefield nuclear weapons amid sharply rising tensions over comments by senior Western officials about possibly deeper involvement in the war in Ukraine....

c10l ,

It’s not equivalent. Russia is at war with Ukraine. The USA and the UK are, in theory, not a part of this war - at least not directly.

It’s the equivalent of Ukraine threatening the countries arming Russia, if those countries decided to get more directly involved in the war.

c10l ,

Why would they manually package them? Just grab the packages you need from testing or sid. This way you keep the solid Debian stable base OS and still bring in the latest and greatest of the things that matter for gaming.

c10l ,

Stability is no longer an advantage when you are cherry picking from Sid lol.

This makes no sense. When 95% of the system is based on Debian stable, you get pretty much full stability of the base OS. All you need to pull in from the other releases is Mesa and related packages.

Perhaps the kernel as well, but I suspect they’re compiling their own with relevant parameters and features for the SD anyway, so not even that.

c10l ,

You don’t and likely never will get a fully open stack for those GPUs. Even the latest Radeon cards have a lot of closed-source binary blobs for firmware.

Where the line is drawn between the driver and the firmware blobs makes a massive difference though. Look at the recent case of AMD trying (and failing) to license HDMI 2.1+ for their open source drivers.

If they’re all resolving to the same IP and using a reverse proxy for name-based routing, there’s no need for multiple A records. A single wildcard should suffice.

c10l ,

I don’t think I’ve ever come across a DNS provider that blocks wildcards.

I’ve been using wildcard DNS and certificates to accompany them both at home and professional in large scale services (think hundreds to thousands of applications) for many years without an issue.

The problem described in that forum is real (and in fact is pretty much how the recent attack on Fritz!Box users works) but in practice I’ve never seen it being an issue in a service VM or container. A very easy way to avoid it completely is to just not declare your host domain the same as the one in DNS.

That’s the kind of hubris that causes exactly what you’re asking about.

There’s people in those places who don’t want to keep being the US’s lapdogs.

This is not defeat. It’s a strategic retreat on their part.

It’s embrace, extend, extinguish. Get workers used to going to the office one or two times a week whilst making it seem like they conceded, then slowly return to the legacy status quo.

Edit: lol why the downvotes? Do people really believe “the CEOs” have been “defeated”?

Not defending anyone here, but a paedophile is someone who’s sexually attracted to prepubescent children. I believe these days it’s extended to the early stages of puberty as well.

Most girls are well over that phase at age 14.

A 23 year-old having sex with a 14 year old may be morally and legally wrong depending on culture and jurisdiction, but the cases where it’s actual paedophilia are likely a small minority.

Again, I’m not defending anyone, but calling every person who’s attracted to minors a paedophile only serves to diminish the effect of the actual ones.

Note that this is not “just banning someone’s account because they don’t like it”. These are people involved in criminal investigations. Shutting them down is meant to plug their criminal activities so society doesn’t get further damaged by them while the police and judiciary work on actually convicting them.

As an aside: I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. I disagree with your view but your question was asked respectfully and in good faith.

c10l ,

That’s what I said. They’re under a criminal investigation.

c10l ,

You don’t punish them per se, but you do sanction them.

For example, Bolsonaro can’t leave the country even though he hasn’t been found guilty of anything yet.

Also, someone who’s been accused of murder will probably be arrested preventatively if the judge in charge has reason to believe they will reincide before the proceedings are through.

These things happen all the time and they’re designed to protect society from further damage from criminals who haven’t yet been fully judged and processed.

This is terrible advice. The OLED model is better across the board. The risk of burn-in is also wildly overstated.

The only reason to get the original model would be price.

Don’t get me wrong, I have an original and it’s great. I don’t consider the OLED model enough of an upgrade to justify the extra cost but I wouldn’t think twice if I was getting my first.

c10l ,

Yes. Quite a bit. FW is at least as story-rich as ZD.

I also enjoy its gameplay more, even though the first one was already very enjoyable.

c10l ,

I loved ZD but I enjoy playing FW more. I find the combat better for my play style, and I’ve even done some of the hunting ground challenges which I found horrible in the first game.

I agree about the board game, except you can do as I do and just not play it. I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything by skipping it.

c10l ,

Has this been established? Have EA published their findings somewhere?

c10l ,

It’s not clear (to me) if EAC was a factor in the hack.

Regardless, on Linux it runs in Proton so it should be entirely in userspace. In Windows it runs in the kernel which makes it a lot more dangerous.

c10l ,

Ok so it’s unknown.

Whilst I agree that it’s unlikely that it was an RCE in EAC like it’s been floating around, nothing can be entirely discarded yet.

I do agree that it’s likely safe to play Halo, if the hack happened due to calls made from Apex to EAC, that means EAC’s APIs made it possible (still unlikely to be an RCE though). With that in mind, bugs or malicious code in any game that interacts with the EAC APIs could cause the same issue.

This is one of the dangers of kernel-level anti-cheat systems.

It should be safe® on Linux though, as it has no direct access to the kernel.

It’s embedded, just press play to watch.
