  Well, Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code#Computer_DV…

  Basically same as regions on standalone DVD players. Just a scummy thing to only allow you to play DVDs from your own region, perhaps so that you wouldn’t buy them from cheaper countries, or buy them earlier you’re supposed to in your country.

  If everything works correctly, then say you buy DVDs from UK, but something new just released in US, but haven’t even played in cinemas in UK yet. So you buy it from US… and it shouldn’t work.

  VLC doesn’t care about this, but still, the drive firmware might.

  BluRays also have regions

  By the fucking way, BluRays have some DRM with revocable keys

  This is part of the AACS protection scheme: editors are able to revoke old software player host keys that have leaked on the Internet and distribute the lists on newer commercial disc releases. This is irreversible and cannot be fixed even after reflashing the drive.

  wiki.archlinux.org/title/Blu-ray#Revoked_Host_key…

  So when do you truly own something? When you pirate it. No regions, no DRM, 4k on any device powerful enough.

  Except the problem seems to be the said storage device.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Concerned about claiming warranty for homelab with Linux⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If it is a hardware failure, I don’t see why it should be an issue. I know re-installing Windows is something PC repair shops do often, and I don’t see how that’s different from any other OS.

  fault or failure resulting from software

  Unfortunately, that’s quite broad. But it could also just apply for stuff like overclocking or firmware modifications. Or even simpler stuff. I could see someone having DVDs from multiple regions, changing drive region every time until they hit the 5 changes limit, and then trying to claim it for warranty (I’ve had some software on Windows do that automatically…).

  Should I submit it with the Linux installation intact or replace it a fresh install of Windows

  Or if there’s private data, overwrite it with output of /dev/urandom or /dev/zero. blkdiscard might also be your friend since it’s an SSD.

  I am doubtful whether they have experience working on anything other than Windows

  Probably they’ll just test the rest with their own drive or re-install it.

  Or maybe try to ask them how to prepare the device for the warranty claim.

  Welp, turns out I am just an idiot. 1279 and below disabled IPv6, and thus the ::/0 route didn’t get applied either, causing a leak. What’s still odd is the lower download speed that doesn’t happen in another client.
  As for the upload, it probably gets a better route through the VPS, giving me a faster speed, and giving me some confusion.

  So my first idea with IPv6 was close, but on the other side of the connection.

  Anyway, your reply helped me find this issue, as my outtake was to try fully disabling IPv6 (not the first time I tried such “solution”).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't fix the problem just change the parameters⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But why add unnecessary complexity?
  Like analog clocks are fine, they show time progress in a way digital don’t.

  But why read it in that more convoluted way? Like, I can tell you that you have 10100~bin~ seconds to answer some question, and you can tell that’s 20 seconds, but why the fuck do it that way. The only time it’s “five minutes till quarter to four in the afternoon” rather than 15:40 is when writing an assay, perhaps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't fix the problem just change the parameters⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had, and honestly still do have issue with reading it rather than understanding. At least the way I was taught, it just sounds really weird, like 15:40 being “5 minutes till quarter to 4 in the afternoon”.
  I don’t need to think about “fifteen forty”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do so many boomers and even some gen x believe so peristently that if you dressup and show up in person anywhere you will get whatever you went there for?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably, yeah.
  It’s how I found internship a year ago. It was really just vague “something related to computers”, so I ended up in a small PC repair and sale shop. I just asked the owner, and that was that. Although, since that was for free…

  On the other hand, the large company where someone else went in the past… they just told me “write an email to this person”.

  But also, that was kinda rare. He usually wasn’t there, especially soon before I left, as he apparently ended up receiving some threats and a few mad people showed up after he helped organize some protests.

  There’s parents who don’t care about which games their kids play.
  There’s parents who only allow games appropriate for children, perhaps like Sims.

  Then there’s kids who play GTA like driving simulator.
  And then there’s this one kid.

  I am sure you can rewrite it in some way.

  “Software and services proxying traffic destined to public internet through another countries or states”, perhaps.

  But from the lack of brain matter I’ve seen so far they’ll either:
  a) Require blocking of ports 1194 and 51820
  b) Manage to make routing illegal

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cloudflare Tunnel?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I only used their quick tunnels for some testing as it doesn’t need a domain and natively runs under Termux. For that at least it worked fine.
  But I probably wouldn’t use them for anything serious. Typically you’re doing everything to avoid MITM, and now this is just the opposite of that.
