Wow thats a shock. I suppose the second best option would be any country outside of europe, even though the connection speed wouldn’t be that fast, it would still be useable.

One of the points in the article described how being slower to hand write makes you think about what you write before doing so, which leaves you with more meaningful notes instead of a transcript.
- Comment on 4chan refuses to pay UK Online Safety Act fines, asks Trump admin to intervene 1 day ago:
I think it only works if the country you are in allows it to happen, as in they have an understanding with the UK (in this case) to follow through with legal stuff. If they were in russia (for example), the UK probably couldn’t enforce anything.
Think it is down to the government of your country.

I hope this encourages more companies/sites to fight back against stupid laws. If most keep complying, it’ll only get worse for them in the future when they make even worse laws.
Pull out all UK servers and ignore uk fines (assuming thats legal wherever u reside… idk how that works) or just pull out of uk.
I hope a country like switzerland or something lets companies host servers there for europe without enforcing dumb laws from uk/european union.

Email magic links are cool (personally hate when a website only allows this login because I don’t have my email available on every site, but that is unrelated sorta).
I probably wouldn’t go with a relatively new project that isn’t guaranteed to stick around long-term (big hassle to swap provider).
authelia and authentik both have a lot of eyes looking over the code so I’d also feel more confident going with them, even if I can’t get passwordless email login (don’t think they support it but not certain).
- Comment on Securing a 'public' service for family 1 week ago:
I think you will be fine as described.
If you want extra peace of mind with 2FA, you can use Authelia (www.authelia.com/integration/…/peertube/) or a similar service that you can put infront of peertube to handle auth.

- Comment on Round Two: Can I manage to set up Jellyfin correctly this time? 1 week ago:
Unfortunately no software exists that is fully perfect in this regard (any program could have multiple bugs just waiting to be found), but jellyfin being open source puts it in a better situation for finding vulnerabilities sooner.

- Comment on Begun the kernel wars have 1 week ago:
True VAC alone is not great, but CS2 (in my opinion) has one of the best systems against abuse, even though legit players like myself can get stuck in low trust factor sometimes.
VAC, trust factor, overwatch (player report reviewing, not sure if this was discontinued) all work together.
Hopefully a big improvement is to come soon with the VAC Live agents that monitor games using AI to predict likely cheaters.
Valve obviously has a big interest in keeping cheaters out, because their skin economy makes them boatloads (literally hehe) of money. I think they are the only company going down this road right now of AI agents, which is unobtrusive to users and should hopefully keep up VACs high accurate ban rate (which is at least a good thing about VAC, when you are banned, in almost all cases, you were indeed cheating (low fase positives)).
I do recognize though that AI agents likely comes with a high cost and may only be implemented in other highly competitive games that make lots of money.
There probably exist other methods, but it’ll take more investment in designing adaptable systems that can work on many games.
- Comment on Round Two: Can I manage to set up Jellyfin correctly this time? 1 week ago:
It’s honestly just a matter of how much risk you are comfortable with for using jellyfin on the open internet.
(If i remember correctly:) The unauthenticated routes thing can only be used for streaming your content without a login (if you can guess the contents ids on your server I believe).
In my opinion, it’s not worth the hassle of using a vpn because I don’t think this risk is worth mitigating with one.
But everyone has their own personal risk assesment of course.

do not use default ports 80/443.
In my opinion, you’d be fine using default ports. Guess there’s no harm in using other ports though, other than the pain of having the remember which port to use if you ever forget when adding a new device, etc.

- Comment on Begun the kernel wars have 1 week ago:
Yeah as I mention I don’t really believe it either, just brought it up because it’s a thought.
And yup the simplest explanation is usually the right one.
I do wish they would stop invading our systems with their current anti-cheats (invasive ones) though, that’s the main thing I am worried about.
- Comment on Begun the kernel wars have 1 week ago:
Good eye.
I would think there’s money to gain by keeping your players engaged longer by having less cheaters, but I guess theres also an incentive to keep just enough cheaters that you can steadily ban them for more game sales (not that I think that’s happening, i hope not).
Anyways they take our money, we expect whats best for us, within reason of course.
- Comment on Begun the kernel wars have 1 week ago:
I wish i could be zen like you. I hate dying in any game I JUST WANT TO KILL. Tryna rack up high scores, when I get killed it’s a big bummer, and dying by a cheater just makes it a WAY BIGGER bummer because it wasn’t even a fair fight.
- Comment on Begun the kernel wars have 1 week ago:
Hopefully they start to learn from this at some point… they should realise that their current anti-cheat systems are not working as intended at some point right?
Battlefield will lose sales, every game definitely loses players because of cheater infestations. Lots of money lost in my eyes, is it enough to make them see straight?
- Comment on Begun the kernel wars have 1 week ago:
I agree, there’s definitely some checks you can only do on the client and only some that work server-side. Ideally everything that can be checked on either, are checked.
Currently it’s just all wrong, the client-side can’t be relied upon as heavily as it is.
The benefit factor to the rootkits they install on our machines is nil. Just bloats our systems with garbage that is just waiting to be exploited by hackers.
- Comment on Begun the kernel wars have 1 week ago:
It definitely reduces cheating, but mostly just by raising the bar of entry (not by that much as evident in day 1 cheats being present). I doubt it’s effectiveness though, since most games you can do some quick research and find $5 cheats that will go undetected (hell even free cheats can work if you do a little more research on doing the injection part manually yourself).
You can also never stop cheating, but the anti-cheat they install on your computer is just an extra attack vector for hackers, etc at this point, since it obviously doesnt work as intended.
- Comment on Begun the kernel wars have 1 week ago:
Proof is in cheaters existing on day one of battlefield 6 open beta. Client side anti-cheat will never work. It’s good to have some basic preventative measures client-side, but server-side anti cheat is the only way to properly prevent cheaters.
Unfortunately companies keep investing in garbage client side anticheat that just pokes security holes into our machines.
Only Valve to my knowledge is investing money into their server side anti cheat, no other big player is to my knowledge.
- Comment on GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation 1 week ago:
I just half went down this rabbit hole, I’m thinking forgejo is the best option (for me) because:
- they dogfood (they actually use their own product, on the other hand gitea uses github and github actions). This makes me feel more confident in forgejo.
- is not “owned” by a for-profit entity that could change course in the future, creating a big hassle for me down the line if I need to swap to something else for whatever enshitified reason (since forgejo is no longer compatible with gitea).
- forgejo seems to be more at-the-ready for finding and fixing security vulnerabilities in their own app (as proclaimed on their site).
- future possibility for federation (gitea is not planning this according to forgejo site).
