Fuck that buy xmr.
Not because you should invest, but because you’ll need a way to pay for mullvad and diy E.
- Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. 6 days ago:
As someone who used to use arch for years, I can’t stand its users who go around acting like running it is some herculean task that takes serious knowledge.
In reality its not much more than a misbehaved pet that requires constant attention and a blog post to be read every month or so. Not because its hard, but because its updates are just kinda slapped together and tossed out in the name of speed.
One of the biggest indicators of this is the AUR. For what it was worth, the Gentoo crowd it replaced at least knew how to compile a program.
Maybe learn to use git, tar, and make like literally anyone else on any other fucking distro.

Same with the blahaj.zone room for 196. Got so icked I just nuked the account.
Still paranoid some of that shit is still cached somewhere on my phone.

Smartphone where almost a solved problem til LG stopped making the V20 and made the next one with a sealed battery.
Combine the hardware features of an LG V20 and grapheme is, and you might have a phone actually fucking worth using. I want my DAC and 16 screw disassembly back, fuckers.

Already done! Actually one of the more popular things to do with a hacked Wii back in the day.

- Comment on Eyes in the Sky: A Comprehensive Survey of Ukrainian Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) 3 weeks ago:
That takes more than firmware, and I don’t know how much thats worth it compared to just using existing fpv hardware.
- Comment on Eyes in the Sky: A Comprehensive Survey of Ukrainian Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) 3 weeks ago:
Huh TIL. Usually DJI locks you in pretty hard.
Either way the maviv certainly ain’t working off of analog.
- Comment on Eyes in the Sky: A Comprehensive Survey of Ukrainian Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) 3 weeks ago:
DJI Mavic/fpv
Analog Video
That’s not how that works, anyone who’s actually touched a flight controller have any insight on this stuff?
- Comment on Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game 4 weeks ago:
It might feel wrong to call their last proper sit down at a couch/desk singeplayer experience a “classic”, but its older than Half-Life one was when it came out.
- Comment on The Switch 2's price won't be impacted by Japan's new tariffs, but its games might 4 weeks ago:
Its like skyrim, with wait… Yeah I think that’s just skyrim.

I refuse to believe circle jerks aren’t several times more common than slumber party dildo sharing.

Do straight dudes think this happens? Or just the ones who still have to attend homeroom five days a week?

No you can use your own modem with xfinity.

Yes but they also rob them when they are. Usually via hidden fees.
- Comment on Mom sues porn sites (Including Chaturbate, Jerkmate, Superporn and Hentaicity) for noncompliance with Kansas age assurance law; Teen can no longer enjoy life after mom caught him visiting Chaturbate 2 months ago:
Oh no I wholeheartedly agree age verification isn’t the wrong answer, I was just playing devils advocate on the technological side.
Parents should be parents, it governments shouldn’t be getting I. the way of you being just another ghost in the machine.

Who under the age of 18 will have money to buy these, and who would be willing to sell them for the pittance teenagers would be willing to spend?
- Comment on Mom sues porn sites (Including Chaturbate, Jerkmate, Superporn and Hentaicity) for noncompliance with Kansas age assurance law; Teen can no longer enjoy life after mom caught him visiting Chaturbate 2 months ago:
Key signing maybe?
You get a cert which is cryptographically signed by your government. They can prove its signed with the governments root cert, showing that its someone over 18, but not who.
That being said the key identifiers will probably still be attached to you in some government db, just not on the porn site.
Though the government could force the pornsite to hand over any logged ids. Some people would say that’s private, as they trust the government not to do stuff without a judges warrant.
As a trans woman relying on HIPPA to not be put on a list of those on HRT, I don’t really trust that much more, to be honest.

Not enough to warrant uploads of your fucking license.
Also I really think its kind of goofy so many people are upset about porn when kids are exposed to violence in the media all the time.
Not that I think violent video games are the devil, my first memory of a game was GTA III lol, but I think seeing violence is probably worse than seeing sex.
At least if you take the American Puritan mindset out of it.
- Comment on Why 3D-Printing an Untraceable Ghost Gun Is Easier Than Ever (Podcast 18mins) 2 months ago:
The only regulated parts (I know of) are:
- receiver (considered the actual gun)
- suppressors
- autosears (or anything else that makes your gun fully automatic, or even act like it)
- big magazines (not federal but a lot of states have laws on em’)

- Comment on Why does digital violence against LGBTI people in Thailand and Taiwan continue even after marriage equality? 2 months ago:
nationalize social media
Okay asshole, what about the social media that’s literally just servers running in some hobbiest’s basement?
Transitioning companies into co-ops would be a better solution as it gets rid of the worst of capitalism while leaving as much of the existing infrastructure as humanely possible.
Basically just send middle management and up packing.

Bullahut you did it to impress the other nosepickers, same reason these kids are doing it.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 2 months ago:
HD/4K video streams eat bandwidth like a motherfucker. Gonna have to find some rich hobbiests for that.
I guess someone could start a nonprofit but you’re more likely to do that for the developers themselves first.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 2 months ago:
Wouldn’t that count as a VPN, albeit one run on someone else’s machine?
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 2 months ago:
No I understand the benefits of open source software but this isn’t just a feature you can code in. Without portfords to the server, a VPN, or a reverse proxy, jellyfin would have to start hosting a service.
Is it technically feasible? I guess but seems like its both out of scope and not in the interest of the developers since the last thing they want probably want to get caught in is hosting streaming relays for everyone free of charge.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 2 months ago:
I prefer a VPN for this sorta thing because its a bit more hardened.
Nginx is a good reverse proxy for my publicly available hosts.
