Wtf I didn’t know that there is a clear reason for corpos getting political! Thank you for this, I really had no idea about it!

Well yes but I am not sure that this is the main problem with flatpak containers.

I’d rather point out that this approach creates a bigger attack surface since the containers tend to ship with outdated versions of libraries, frameworks and tools that the actual application relies on because it is now that specific app developer’s problem to update them inside of the container. So with this, even an up to date system is not really up to date and might suffer from severe vulnerabilities. I’d say it depends on your application, use case and threat scenario; containerization can make sense but is not the holy grail.

Did you take a little journey into the BIOS yet? Is definitely firmware, the question is if you can just change a setting there. Otherwise, somebody already mentioned dummy HDMI plugs.

Relied on an AUR package for building and signing my unified kernel image… one day it was outdated and geberating the image failed, I noticed that by the fact that the system refused to boot my OS. Fixing it was done in a few minutes but boy, that was a shock :D

Guess who also checks the exact output of the kernel rebuild now before rebooting!

I am not extremely familiar with nix and flakes but from my understanding, they create isolated environments like venv or containers, correct? Would that not mean having a separate wine install and especially separate Lutris install per Game? So no single Lutris that lists all games but a separate one for each, kindof defeats the purpose I think. I fail to see the benefit over just clicking it on the lutris website, so not sure if this would gain traction. Open for any suggestions and corrections though!

My bad, I just looked up what a CUV is and you are totally right. I’d go even further and say that there are barely any real “SUVs” around from European car makers, seems like the CUV label fits pretty much all of them (with few exceptions, usually the big ones like Audi Q5+, BMW X5+, VW Touareg). So I learned sth today, thanks!

Similar reason for me. Although, as long as I could get a car without internet connectivity, I would even be fine with non-free software but even that is too much to ask nowadays. This also applies to gas or diesel powered cars though, so I will stick with my sedan from 2015 too, might even have the engine redone completely in a few years if there are no proper options by then.

Is this a US take? Serious question because in Europe, I see primarily SUVs being sold when it comes to EVs. Small and shitty ones yes, but still aiming to resemble at least the SUV look. E.g. VW ID3, ID4; these I see a lot on the streets over here. Big exception seem to be hybrids, they usually are sedans or hatchbacks.

Applies to PopOS the same way, except for installation steps involving pacman. I’d revommend going with systemd-boot instead of grub, not sure what Pop ships.

Did you contact your ISP about this? Most of them can adjust a setting for you to remove the NAT part, the feature is usually called dual-stack. If you are in the EU, you even have a fundamental right to use your own router, you just have to register your MAC with them.

Not just Dell… bought an HP Elite x360 in 2018 and it had to go back twice too; first time because they jammed a physical blocker for non-LTE models into my sim slot (then sent it back after removing it and putting the same blocker back in, afterwards gave me free on-site repair for this issue, fucked up my board during that and came back next day with a replacement board) and second time because the keyboard died after a year. Solid ever since, still running perfectly but these initial issues should not happen with a 2500€ device.

Vim supports editing files through scp as well, no reason to cry here xD

For me, two main aspects: I do not have to move my hands from the keyboard and I can pipe things from one tool into others, significantly speeding up many tasks

Correct. However, this looks like a direction that language processing and GPTs would excel in and to my knowledge, there already have been some ML addons made for certain RE tools, so this might become more easy in the future. If that is necessarily a good thing is a different story…

Well, source code is not sth that you “crack”, you can only reverse engineer it (I think it was done with Doom, also OpenRA) or steal it from the company’s servers. The use for it is also rather niche, so the risk vs gains ratio is not attractive enough to feed dedicated websites. You can also look at fully open source games like 0AD and check out what they did!

Edit: I stand corrected (thrice); Doom was indeed open-sourced, not reverse engineered. Thanks for pointing out!

Not sure about private trackers but on public ones, I did not see them anywhere. Also chances are not that high since it is old material that never got translated into Englosh or other languages, so quite niche.

Dafuq did I just read? Author has to a) visit a spelling and grammar course, b) structure their fucking thoughts. So the main point is that some guy is on drugs and leaking information? That could have been three sentences.

True but considering the costs, I would rather just buy the movies on DVD and rip them

1080 is totally sufficient, I’ll look into this, thanks!

Okay, so OBS looks like the only feasible route then, thanks!
