Client side anti-cheat (the one installed on your PC) will never work, it’s just fundamentally impossible. They can restrict user freedom as much as they want, but the hardware still isn’t under their control.

The only reason they push for those kinds of anti-cheats is because they don’t have to pay for the extra processing of server side anti-cheat, and they also get the benefit of a backdoor into your computer that you may never fully uninstall without buying a new computer.

Don’t use AI slop, please

There’s an even smaller scale tower, also built by the same architect, and also using the same design as the WTC. It’s in Madrid, Spain.

Promotes crypto, it’s based on chromium and the CEO is an asshat.

Ask people from your country, or look online to see if torrenting is prosecuted there. If people don’t get letters from the ISP, you can just enable encryption in your torrent software and forget about it.

I’ve been torrenting without VPN for a decade (Spain), and never had any issues, not even traffic slowdowns.

Edit: You’re probably gonna see a lot of advice to always use a VPN. Most of this advice is from US users, who are not used to torrenting without VPNs. The truth is, as with everything, it really depends. I’m not a fan of generalized answers to questions, and the same advice isn’t as good for every situation. VPNs are a barrier of entry, and they also come with a slowdown. If you’re starting to torrent and VPNs are not necessary in your country, don’t be afraid to torrent without one. But of course, if you’re from the US, you’ll have to use one!

Mv2 is not a website API, it’s a browser API, only used by extensions. It tells the browser how the extension wants to deal with the sites. No matter what methods and APIs and standards the sites use, Mv2 would still be able to do what it does now.

Firefox will not drop Mv2 support in the forseeable future. It is a huge burden to keep the standard for all chromium forks, but firefox and firefox forks do not need to carry that burden. In the far future, web standards and technologies might change enough for Mv2 to not be effective, but that is a long time away, and depends on how the technologies and standards evolve.

Notes worth making:

• Mv2 will not be deprecated in firefox or firefox based browsers

• Adblock plus is not the best adblocker extension, even for Mv3. uBlock has made a version that works with Mv3, called uBlock Lite

• Even though Mv3 adblockers exist, they will always be worse than Mv2 adblockers, because they have a limited set of rules.

TLauncher was caught with malware

Minecraft, the game that sold the most copies in history, has a huge infrastructure of community-hosted servers, some with tens of thousands of players playing at the same time. The community has created different flavors of the server software, optimized it, added mod support and even reprogrammed parts of it.

At this point, it’s hard for me to believe how someone could say a community can’t run game servers with a straight face.

Publish schematics with every piece of hardware you make. Paradise for repair technicians and retro tech enthusiasts in a few decades.

Lucida already didn’t rip from spotify, nor does doubledouble. Try to get your songs from another service if they’re available (Qobuz and Tidal usually have good availability and high quality)

I’ve always heard this claim, but in reality I’ve had more luck running old software on linux with wine than on windows.

Windows has a lot of old bloat still around (even some win3.11 apps remain on win11), but that doesn’t mean it’s that good at backwards compatibility. Backwards compatibility also requires an effort, which Microsoft doesn’t want to make.

Linux apps follow simplicity principles. If you don’t have permission to delete a file, why assume you may know the password of the user who has permission?

You can preface sudo to any command to execute it with root privileges, which would be similar to running as admin in windows.

Graphical apps do tend to ask for authentication if it makes sense. No userland apps should need more permissions than the current user’s in order to run.

Spain used to have a budget of around 1% of their GDP for the military. It was so much that they actually could not spend it. Now that the budget has tripled almost overnight, they are having an internal crisis because there is no way they can use up all that money, even if they overbought 200% of supplies and overpaid for them.

Increasing military budget is useless, because the service will not improve with it, just the useless spending and inefficiency. And because of the rushed spending, I’m sure the move will increase corruption.

Last I heard is that he compiles the kernel on an AMD machine (with a threadripper iirc), so he also has a beefy desktop.

I’ve been looking for that version for years, but for some reason I can’t find it anymore

It really isn’t that slow, last time I tried to homebrew a working DNS tunnel it maxed my 100mbps card. I never needed the extra speed so I didn’t try to see how fast it could be on a 1gbps card
