This is yet another reminder that your IoT devices should be firewalled off the web.

The comments (and maybe the article too, I didn’t read to the bottom) are misinformation. This guy isn’t enabling Russian hacker groups. What happened is he ripped the BluRay and posted it online. Since it got a lot of hype Russian hackers decided to use that opportunity and ship a similar file ending in .exe instead of the usual Matroska format (.mkv) you see usually with ripped BluRays. If you were around torrent communities back then you know this to be false. These are your tax dollars at work, potentially jailing someone up to 15 years for ripping a BluRay.

I’ve never ripped BluRays but from what I’ve been told by someone who is apart of a P2P release group the jist is there’s an exploit in Intel SGX that made BluRay protection obsolete and the tools to crack BRs are practically publicly available if you search around for a bit. The funny thing is newer CPUs/mobos don’t support Intel SGX, which is one way to stop it.

I kinda agree with the article, I genuinely think humanity peaked with the computer of the PS2 era. Or maybe it had something to do with the patriot act. Just feels like after that things had gotten worse substantially

I personally don’t, on the off chance I do need to print something I do it at work.

Framework printer.

Make it happen.

0.0.0.0 means listen on all IPs

In the first paragraph I mentioned that I don’t have an account, I never had one on Xitter mastodon or BS. That’s my point of view, and from what it seems it’s always politics.

I never had a Xitter account so take what I say with a grain of salt, as I only interacted with the platform as a spectator.

For me it was funny to watch as I slowly saw people dive into madness over the most irrelevant things.

It didn’t matter if it was left or right people still lost all senses over unimportant things like Hunter Biden’s laptop or this week’s conspiracy theory.

I opened Mastodon and as I scroll through I see the following order:

1. republican bad post
2. republican bad post
3. republican bad post
4. something linux related (usually hector martin)
5. republican bad post

And I get it, republican is bad, but after reading 3-4 republic bad posts my mental state needs a break or something different which is what Xitter was able to do. Some new music being announced/discussed, maybe a video game, maybe a joke.

BS suffers from the same issue, no variation in the content is what makes me not want to partake.

I personally think that the problem is rooted in defederation, it’s being used willy-nilly like it doesn’t have effect on the people using the platform. But not becoming an echo chamber is essential to a platform’s long term health. If I know that a platform has the same message for me when I open the app I’ll just start using it less, which is what happened with Lemmy sadly, I open my feed and it’s full of dystopian and republican posts, I just don’t bother anymore.

Incoherent rant over.

Gamescope probably. It has launch options to force FSR iirc

1. I don’t think this is a problem with tailscale but you should check. Also you don’t have to pipe all the traffic through your tunnel. In the allowed IPs you can specify only your subnet so that everything else leaves via the default gateway.
2. in the DNS server field in your WireGuard config you can specify anything, doesn’t have to be RFC1918 compliant. 1.1.1.1 will work too
3. At the end of the day, a threat model is always gonna be security vs. convenience. Plex was used as an attack vector in the past as most most people don’t rush to patch it (and rightfully so, there are countless horror stories of PMS updates breaking the whole thing entirely). If you trust that you know what you’re doing, and trust the applications you’re running to treat security seriously (hint: Plex doesn’t) then go ahead, set up your reverse proxy server of choice (easiest would be Traefik, but if you need more robustness then nginx is still king) and open 443 to the internet.

Earlier reports suggested they trained it on books from Bibliotik.

What changed?

Graphics in my opinion peaked at around 2015. I still boot up games from that time and I think they’re not that different from today’s titles

Yeah, it’s rough. Highly recommend you read “You Deserve a Tech Union” by Ethan Marcotte if you work in tech. It is needed now more than ever.

While true, not all vendors support Linux, which is the case for myself.

If you know they’re on your ass delete all online presence, it’s not that hard. Taunting the courts and/or Nintendo about this will just make you more miserable because eventually the court will grant the exception to serve your family members instead.

My company bought 5 snapdragon laptops to test - ended up returning all of them. They’re not bad per se, the operating system that they’re expected to run is. Windows for ARM has a looong way before it is production ready. Their biggest hurdle is the translation layer (similar to Rosetta 2 which works near flawlessly) that is so bad that if your program doesn’t have a native ARM build, you’re better off not even bothering. I’ve seen an article indicating that they improved it a lot in the current Windows insider build but we’ve already returned the laptops and switched over to AMD. In my opinion if Microsoft truly cares about Windows on ARM then it will be ready in a year or so. If they don’t… probably 2-3.

As per Linux, it works great, but that’s because most of the packages are FOSS and so compiling them for ARM doesn’t take a lot of effort. Sadly, Security at our company insists we run Windows so that spyware antivirus software can be installed on all end user machines.

You only need about 15% for commercial support.

I checked my store and there are Canonical keys there, but I don’t think that’s on every computer.

SpotEevee on iOS, can confirm that it still works.

Edit: the article finally loaded and saw that they’re fighting APKs. Good luck to them but iirc so far no developer was able to defeat piracy on Android.
