- Comment on AI Computing on Pace to Consume More Energy Than India, Arm Says 1 month ago:
Come on that’s not fair, it’s very good* at drawing album covers and video game assets, which gives more time to artists to go work for Starbucks or Amazon instead of doing something they actually enjoy.
- passable actually, but much cheaper.

It’s a pretty popular GIF taken from the movie Hot Fuzz.

Wireguard, like all VPNs, definitely does E2E encryption. What would be the point of an unencrypted VPN?
- Comment on All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week 1 month ago:
That’s the spirit! If you know your way around Linux admin, docker and such, don’t hesitate to dive into jellyseerr + *arr + Jellyfin, it was much simpler to set up than I expected. Once everything’s up and running, the experience is far superior to any commercial streaming service.
- Comment on Recommendations for Hardware for Physical Media/Jellyfin Server 1 month ago:
As it seems nobody’s linked it yet, have you read Jellyfin’s hardware selection page? They go into great details about which HW features are required/desired.
In my case I’m running it on a NUC with an i3 8109U + 16GB RAM, it runs great with 2 or 3 transcoding jobs at once.
- Comment on Nintendo vs. Garry's Mod: Dissecting the 'Fake' Domain Behind All the Chaos 2 months ago:
I’ve owned all of Nintendo’s portable consoles (except for the 3DS), a Wii and I currently have a Switch. I have like a thousand euros worth of games on it, all bought through the store.
But I’m tired of this relentless fuckery, and when my daughter’s old enough to use the Switch, I will hack my switch and pirate the games I haven’t already bought.
Same with streaming, for years I paid for 3 or 4 services, but I’m tired of those fuckers nickel and diming me, and making me jump through hoops to play my paid for content on Linux, so I canceled everything and now run jellyseerr+Jellyfin which is a much better experience.
However I haven’t pirated a single PC game in like 20 years, because Valve and Steam are awesome and the prices are fair. Same with Spotify, though Ek is a tool so I’m starting to look for (legal) alternatives.
What I’m getting at is, I don’t mind paying for my entertainment, but when I start feeling like a cash cow for fucking assholes you better believe I will sail the high seas.

- Comment on Subset Games created two amazing games: FTL & Into The Breach 2 months ago:
It definitely is, but yeah you’ll die a lot at first. Once you know your squad’s (and the enemies’) abilities it becomes like chess, where you spend a lot of time thinking about the consequences of a single move.

- Comment on Apex Legends streamers surprised to find aimbot and other hacks added to their PCs in the middle of major competition via anti-cheat software 3 months ago:
Under linux EAC runs as your normal user, so it can’t install system-wide malware but it can read/write your personal data. If you create a dedicated user for gaming you should be safe from this kind of stuff.

Just from this screenshot, it seems that good loot will drop more frequently if you choose to disable trading, to make up for the lost opportunities I guess.

Come on, you do know a lot of people take offense at porn for various reasons, right? And most mainstream brands don’t like being associated with offensive stuff…

- Comment on Average UK gig ticket to top £100: 'People treating concerts like mini-holidays' 6 months ago:
Or listen to genres where 99% of artists will never reach mainstream popularity and charge these kinds of prices. For example Lorna Shore is currently touring Europe with Rivers of Nihil, Ingested and Distant. Most shows have been sold out for months, in nice venues, and yet I got tickets for the Paris show for 35€.

That’s funny, on my XPS Windows crashed when I tried adding a fingerprint. Works flawlessly under Arch.
- Comment on Tesla Vision fails as owners complain of Model 3 cameras fogging up in cold weather 7 months ago:
The obvious argument is that eyes are far from perfect and fail us all the time, especially when going fast. We are quite good at making up for it, but saying “We have eyes so my self driving cars will have eyes too” is pretty fucking dumb.

- Comment on France VPNs might be banned amid SREN Bill's new "unreasonable amendments" 8 months ago:
Nah it’s far more stupid than that. They want to ban some (most?) VPN apps from the iOS and Android stores. You would still be able to sign up for any VPN from your browser, and manually set it up on your phone.
That’s the current proposal anyway, soon they’ll understand how moronic it is and either double down and try to “fix” if or quietly drop it.
