- Comment on What's your favourite era for video games? 1 week ago:
I really hope you enjoy Thief 1/2! The two are some of my top games of all time and the second one is after 25 years still the best pure stealth game.
As was already said, do make sure to install TFix or T2Fix (depending on the game) to get widescreen/high resolution renderer and just modern hardware support in general.
- Comment on Novel attack against virtually all VPN apps neuters their entire purpose 1 week ago:
Czech Republic is doing the most promising thing right now I think: konecipv4.cz/en/
I hope the EU or at least other countries will follow.
- Comment on Has anyone checked out this ipv6rs service yet? 1 week ago:
Yeah, tunnelbroker.net is what I use. It works behind NAT too, and they even give you a /48! For free!
To be clear I wouldn’t mind paying for guaranteed speeds because the he.net tunnel can be a bit slow at times. My problem with this is that they don’t give you a /64 which basically makes it useless for anything but the “host a couple services” use case. Most people who would consider this, including me, probably don’t have IPv6 connectivity from their ISP at all and would like to get routable IPv6 address space for their home network.
- Comment on Has anyone checked out this ipv6rs service yet? 2 weeks ago:
$10 per month and all you get is 5 IPv6 addresses (I assume that’s what they mean by “5 Static Visible IPv6 Tunnels”)? What a shameless scam.
- Comment on How RCS on iPhone Will Make Texting Better for Everyone 2 weeks ago:
I don’t assume anyone has written a real client yet but there’s a library you can use: github.com/Hirohumi/rust-rcs-client
- Comment on Server behind CGNAT - Reverse VPN? Or how to bypass? 3 weeks ago:
IPv6. Just let the other network through the firewall, use direct connections, no overcomplicated tunnel setup needed.
- Comment on Help me understand contacts, calendar and caldav/cardav 2 months ago:
Right, exactly.
- Comment on Help me understand contacts, calendar and caldav/cardav 2 months ago:
Fastmail looks like they have CalDAV and CardDAV support (fastmail.help/…/1500000278342-Server-names-and-po…). If you actually want to use their contacts and calendar, why do you want to host another yourself? Two-way sync sounds like a pain.
You just need to connect your devices to it. Unfortunately Google thinks PIM sync is not worthwhile to have on Android unless you use their service, so you’ll need some extra apps. I used DAVx5 (it’s free if you get it from F-Droid), Tasks.org and OneCalendar in the past for this.
- Comment on Apple to allow iOS app downloads direct from websites in the EU (with restrictions), in compliance with the Digital Markets Act 2 months ago:
All of this is pointless until they stop requiring “notarization”.
- Comment on Cloudflare Alternative 2 months ago:
tunnelbroker.net since I don’t have static IPv6 currently. Otherwise, that.

- Comment on Apple moves away from iTunes on PC with new Windows apps 3 months ago:
Oh god. I thought at least Apple had some standard of quality left for the software they’re releasing. Though considering this isn’t for their own platform, and their track record for their other Windows software (at least iTunes) maybe I shouldn’t be too surprised.
- Comment on Your honor this is bullshit 3 months ago:
Lmao, you weren’t joking. edition.cnn.com/2022/06/06/us/…/index.html
As absurd as it is, this is probably just because it’s easier than changing that law.
- Comment on Apple moves away from iTunes on PC with new Windows apps 3 months ago:
This is about the programs, not the services. Apple Music on Mac can also buy music from iTunes despite not being called iTunes anymore.

He absolutely does and could.

If I had to pick between two con-men, I’d rather have fucking Elon have that money. At least he isn’t making the biggest energy black hole.
- Comment on Denmark orders schools to stop sending student data to Google 3 months ago:
Depends, it’s definitely something you can automate so it works at the click of a button on some website (and another to revert). We just run the commands from the terminal.
- Comment on A New Chapter For Mozilla 3 months ago:
Doubling down on our core products, like Firefox
Well, I sure fucking hope so. When are we getting back XUL addons or something comparable, you know, the feature that made your browser stand out?
(One can dream, right? Hahaha)
- Comment on A New Chapter For Mozilla 3 months ago:
Yeah, I was hoping MS could make a competent engine with a fresh start. I wouldn’t even be mad if it was Windows only. Now Edge is just another Microsoft L
- Comment on Denmark orders schools to stop sending student data to Google 3 months ago:
In our university we have an Ansible playbook to set up firewall rules etc. and change the network share and user logins so that they can’t access the Internet or any previously saved files.
- Comment on WhatsApp Chats Will Soon Work With Other Encrypted Messaging Apps 3 months ago:
Carriers already support it, and I think the reason Google sends it through their backend instead of the carrier’s is so they can support their proprietary extensions (that’s my guess at least, and I think I read that the app can also use carrier services directly but I can’t find the text that said that anymore). And as far as I’m concerned that means there are indeed many phones that support it.
- Comment on WhatsApp Chats Will Soon Work With Other Encrypted Messaging Apps 3 months ago:
From what I understand, it’s implemented on mobile carrier level, so any phone or other device with a cellular modem connected to a carrier that supports it should be able to use it. Can’t really find more specific details right now though. Here’s a library and sample client for it though: github.com/Hirohumi/rust-rcs-client
Of course, this is only for clients, it’s true you can’t set up your own server.
- Comment on WhatsApp Chats Will Soon Work With Other Encrypted Messaging Apps 3 months ago:
I wonder what’ll come first, this or RCS on iOS?
group chats will come years down the line
Oh come on. (Though that’s fair enough, since coordinating groups including users from different services is likely a lot harder to get right.)
- Comment on Router recommendation 3 months ago:
I have a Turris Omnia. Very happy with it personally. It comes with OpenWrt but you can put anything you want on it.
- Comment on Browser maker love-in snubs Google-shunned JPEG XL 3 months ago:
Very cool, thanks. Will keep this in mind.
- Comment on Browser maker love-in snubs Google-shunned JPEG XL 3 months ago:
Do you know if it uses the native decoder if available (so, in Safari I guess)? Doesn’t say in the readme.
- Comment on Ehat are the legal implications of this? 3 months ago:
I don’t see an issue with this.
- Comment on Why Everyone Should Still Use an RSS Reader in 2024 3 months ago:
NetNewsWire for Apple devices.
- Comment on Which OS do you use for your homeserver? 3 months ago:
You don’t need Safari unless it’s for Apple Pay integration or something. WebKit is open source. Use Epiphany or some other browser that uses it.
