“Internships tackling climate issues” yeah just type that into the climate-destroying search box please.

If you want a role tackling climate issues you’re going to make a much bigger dent by being self-employed and doing some on-site work at those noisy new buildings.

I have always skipped over this game but I’m definitely going to commit and check it out now.

In the meantime, as another rodent game I highly recommend Small Saga. About 8 hours long, story-focused, charming, and constantly hilarious.

While I don’t think hypervisors are all that interesting to most people due to their brittle nature and real security risks, I still think there’s a definite blow being dealt to Denuvo even if not a single person actually uses them. The publishers making the decision to pay for Denuvo are still going to see their games being cracked same-day, hypervisor or not, and that probably puts a lot of pressure on their decision to continue paying Denuvo.

I already read a lot of the lutris devs’ honest feelings about AI and their willingness to obfuscate what they’re doing with it in the initial issues/discussions. No offense, but I’m not all that interested in watching them attempt to whitewash and downplay what happened after they’ve had time to figure out how to spin it.

Oh my god my biggest pet peeve is every single new project awarding itself “modern, lightweight, blazing fast”. Seeing these words actually negatively affects my perception of your new super cool project. Along with the fucking emojis.

aka:

Modern: “I couldn’t understand the codebase of the previous solution, so I rewrote it using stuff I’m familiar with”

Lightweight: “Featureless/no features that I don’t use”

Blazing fast: “Doesn’t have any edge cases handled yet”

Arches isn’t pornographic, but it can still hurt you in other ways.

Apparently the price increase happened yesterday; I hadn’t heard anything about it until just now. Gave me the push I needed to switch to self-hosted vaultwarden in like 15 minutes. Very pleased with how simple the docker compose and export->import were. I’ll note that I’m running it privately on my local network, which I’m assuming should work fine as my devices enter that network semi-frequently and should keep everything synced up(?).

I was looking at point #3 from the article, which is more misleading in this area than point #5.

ZFS doesn’t require more RAM (or at least not meaningfully more), it just uses it if you have it. The RAM/ARC can be turned down in the configuration if you don’t want it to do that. I think on Linux other filesystems just use the native Linux RAM cache instead(?), so it’s basically the same thing as ARC, just less prominent? Also, doesn’t ZFS have RAIDZ expansion now? Actually a lot of this article smells funny… probably because they just happen to know more about BTRFS. Doesn’t BTRFS still have the RAID5/6 write hole? I wonder what sort of setup they’re using if they’re running it on a NAS.

Are you referring to Ghost QxR? They release all of their stuff on public trackers (e.g. 1337x). If you’re interested in x265 micro-encodes in general I’d recommend getting into at least HUNO and TL. There are other trackers that specialize in this area, but I’m not as familiar with them so can’t vouch as much.

They’re even wearing a 100 gecs - Frog on the Floor shirt in their Rainbow Frogs talk. (better view here)

I would say the bare minimum is supporting their game client on Linux. They don’t need to be supporting project developments like Valve, but at least giving a token gesture that they recognize and are doing their part for this issue would be a nice gesture to the gamers who feel that anti-DRM/game preservation and a future with Linux are very correlated - regardless of Linux’s present-day state. By not having their game client available on Linux they have actively hindered the growth of Linux, and only through Valve’s support are we getting closer to that future (as well as the Linux community who have eventually made their own GOG clients due to the lack of official support).

They have been making a willful choice to not use any of their money to support Linux, which has been clear for many years by the GOG users overwhelmingly asking for Linux support to no avail. Their Linux game installers are the bare minimum of using someone else’s setup installer. I’m saying that if I’m going to be giving money to somebody, I’d rather give it to a company that’s doing more with it and seems to have a stronger belief in actually making the effort to achieve this future instead of waiting for it to happen by someone else’s hand.

I wish they’d align more at least on the Linux issue. What’s the use of preserving games for an OS that’s not going to last? It seems antithetical to their goals. Meanwhile, Wine and the rest of the Linux emulation components are also doing real work for preserving games by just making their original releases continue to work on modern operating systems through translation layers. My guess is GOG is waiting for gaming on Linux to be “worth it” before devoting their time and effort into it, which is basically just being a fair-weather friend and not actually helping.

Stuff like this is the main reason why I only buy from Steam if I can help it. GOG has a noble anti-DRM goal, but Valve is doing a lot more stuff that matters. Besides, I count Steam’s apathy towards their own easily-bypassed DRM as effectively DRM-free at this point, and as far as I understand Steam’s DRM is also voluntary for game devs to use.

It looks like it might be; I just know someone that has a site using it and they use a different mascot, so I thought it would have been trivial. I kind of wonder why it wouldn’t be possible to just docker bind mount a couple images into the right path, but I’m guessing maybe they obfuscate/archive the file they’re reading from or something?

You can customize the images if you want: https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/botstopper#customizing-images

It could be both, but often I see downvotes used strongly when information is actually incorrect or misleading, regardless of whether the person is trying to be pleasant or not. I guess that upvotes on a post like this could be mistaken for agreement. If the OP was instead phrased as a question it probably wouldn’t be downvoted.

I think it’s more of a result of OP conflating this with an “average” Debian experience. Who knows if Kali (downstream) or the user made a frankendebian, and who knows what they’ve done to their install before this log. Using Kali for an improper reason doesn’t give a lot of bonus points in our trust that this is not user-induced.

Do you think they’re actually friends or like work friends?

Yeah that sounds about right. It also depends on which indexers you’re using, as I imagine the more public indexers will have a higher chance of getting takedowns from trolls. It’s worth noting that I believe the running theory is that a lot of 2021-2023 articles were voluntarily deleted to save space, resulting in issues even for .nzbs that weren’t takedown’d. It’s also theorized (and outright stated sometimes) that providers do silently delete data that is rarely or never accessed as well to save space, so that can be a random issue too.

Personally, I lean more into torrent technology because usenet can be fickle for these reasons even if you’re in the secret indexers, whereas if you’re in at least some semi-good private torrent trackers you’ll never have completion issues (just potentially slower downloads). I also feel like usenet’s scalability, future, and pricing is sort of uncertain.
