N0x0n,

I feel so bad for the long term contributors :/

The only good thing I could think off, is that someone is going to create a defederated stackoverflow alternative?

Or something similar, to bring back real human interaction…

If this wasn’t enough, This will probably raise war against corporated AI.

Uhhhh, I saw them yesterday in northen* hemisphere in Europe and they waren’t white at all… So my guess would be that it depends from where you look at it ?

But in reality they are more dull than on pictures, because photographers use Long Exposure to make the color brighter than they actually appear.

Edit: Typo

N0x0n,

Corrected !

N0x0n, (edited )

Hey thanks for the clarification :) ! I’m not a photographer nor educated enough in specific science domain.

I only pointed out what technique photographers use to make them appear so bright and colorful on pictures.

They really are as colorful as they appear in photos but human night vision is primarily black and white.

Does that even make sense? I mean, we are what we are, and we see what we see. There is noway that we could certainly know how they actually look like.

If a reptile looks at an Aurora Borealis, It would totally see it differently, and it’s perspective would differ from ours.

With a camera you can change alot of attributes to make it appear b/w, sepia, more light, rgb, cmjn, infrared, flash… But that doesn’t make it how they actually appear, I mean who is in charge to give the correct mixture of how much light, b/w, cmjn, rgb, infrared… to see the “real” manifestation ?

Personally, I think this is more a philosophical/metaphysic ¿? question, but I’m no expert in any of those subjects. I’m just relying on my personal experience and my feelings ^^.

Feel free to argument !

N0x0n,

Thank you :) Also good to know it’s RISC-V (five roman number).

How is it pronounced? Like every letter or more like risk-5?

N0x0n,

Nobody is talking about how games look sharper? Looking at 1080p vs 1440p side by side, you can clearly see the difference on how the textures look less “pixelated” and more rounded up.

It looks like you have a better AA effect and better color management (depends on your pannel though).

I really enjoy/see the change from 1080p to 1440, but you clearly need good enough hardware to make it run smoothly. It’s vram hungry and GPU demanding.

It wouldn’t be that way if there wasn’t any reason to eat that much more vram and GPU resources… Higher resolution textures

N0x0n,

Imagine talking about opsec and iCloud in the same sentence 🫣🤭

N0x0n,

If you’re into selfhosting there is an alternative self-hosted Wayback machine.

Or you can use something like wallabag

And there is also a Firefox extension that let’s your download a whole web site as a single html file .

Finally, there’s Linkding who recently add local copy of your bookmarks.

N0x0n,

Just use rethink dns with a wireguard tunnel and block every app except those you trust and need !

N0x0n,

Hummm, Don’t get me wrong I like the command line when I work on my GUI-less server, but a video player to run through the command line on a daily drive desktop with GUI and everything?

This seems a bit overkill and useless no? I mean when I’m on my desktop I just want to click on my media file and launch it right away.

Maybe I’m not the target audience and it’s focus is more entitled to people working in the video industry and needs more granular tweaking with specific media files? Scripts?

Or Am I missing something here?

why cant we connect 2 computers using USB

So i tried to connect steamdeck to pc using usb and i read its immpossible because steamdeck is a computer and some explanation on quora about strong master slave relationship. But then why is it possible for android phones to connect to pc whilist also having the ability to use USB and other usb c accesories. Also why cant it...

N0x0n, (edited )

Also goes in reverse. Here are probably a lot of good IT specialist who wouldn’t pass any comptia test. Not because they are bad IT guys or don’t have the necessary skill/knowledge…

No… Just because CompTIA tests are worded in such a way that you actually doubt that every answer could actually be right and fit the question…

They are playing on words and even if you’re the best IT guy in the world but lack the reading skills and English collocation of a perfect native Shakespeare writer, you’re going to fail ^^.

But that’s on purpose 🤑🤑🤑.

Torrenting exposes your public IP. In a country where government doesn't care, does that pose a risk?

I honestly don’t believe I will have any legal trouble because I don’t do anything like cp or worse, I just pirate media I like, not even porn. But across users of communities, or on public trackers, is IP exposure something to be concerned about?

N0x0n, (edited )

Recent qbitorrent update supports cross sharing between public/i2p users.

But people have to enable the option, most public trackers aren’t aware off and most private trackers are not into sharing their well builded closed piracy club money making scheme

N0x0n,

You still need someone else’s computer. Making a cloudflare proxie or other cloud platform is useless and not secure, specially if you’re torrenting or trying to hide your IP.

I’m pratically sure they even block the torrent protocol and do not allow port forwarding on most cloud VPS.

Yeah proxies are great, but only if you have somewhere to route your traffic.

N0x0n, (edited )

The proxy is also susceptible to application-level threats that the VPN is not.

You sure about that? I mean, to use a VPN your need some kind of application that could potentially be vulnerable or have some zero day exploits.

In contrary, a proxy is as simple as to forward your traffic to another computer through a SSH tunnel which doesn’t specially need some kind of application but only relies on lower level package.

Maybe I misunderstood your comment but If I’m wrong I’m agear to learn something new.

Newpipe is getting updates on fdroid again and seem like will be getting updates for the foreseeable future as the issue stopping it is solved. (f-droid.org)

Also on an unrelated note anyway to remove live from your subscribed channels update field ? Some channels are filling it with live so i have to really scroll down to see my video feeds and can’t find a setting to switch it off. Newpipe didn’t used to add live in your what’s new feed of subscribed channels, related pic .

N0x0n, (edited )

Have yout tried with “Use HLS”? It’s a known issue and will be fixed ASAP

N0x0n,

We’re implementing the ability to reactivate any existing season of DRG

This is huge !!! I wasn’t able to experience all the seasons and this missed opportunity made me pirate the game instead of buying. I think it’s time to give them something back for such an incredibly fun game (a bit redundant end game though) !

Also season 6 will probably be the last one. This update clearly stats the current position of the DRG and it’s futur.

Everything has an end, even the good things.

Rock & Stone brothers ! ⛏️

N0x0n,

Maybe syncthing could fit your flow? OMV syncthing.

I have no idea if it works or if that’s something you would implement, but syncthing is pretty good :).

I use it to sync my encrypted backups between my devices (even my phone has my server backups). Never had any issue !

N0x0n,

You should have a talk with your boss about NIST keypair :x

N0x0n,

Woaah ! Thank youu ! That’s a great find !

N0x0n,

Congrats !!!

Only one day? Lucky you ! It took me a whole week to get it to work with self-signed ssl certificate behind Traefik + docker + Adguardhome.

Adguard home rewrites and the correct certificate configuration solved most of my isues (android can be picky with self-signed root certificates). But I learned ALOT through the whole week, so I didn’t waste my time :).

I hope you too learned alot :) but if I may, I would switch from AdguardHome to Pi-hole.

I know… AdguardHomes functionalities and UI are awesome and overpass Pi-Holes’ but since I saw they add some strange trackers and very sketchy DNS request in their AdguardVPN android application, I don’t trust them anymore !

N0x0n,

It does !! I really like it and was easy peasy to make the switch. But I have to admit, AdguardHome’s UI and DNS logs are way more detailed and I’m missing a few features I used with AGH. But nothing to critical that makes pi-hole unusable in my workflow !

But yeah, they do not have the same budget… That’s a good tradeoff i’m willing to take for my privacy :).

And one day, when I get a job I will surely donate to them.

N0x0n,

Hummm, I have a syncthing instance in a docker compose, so yeah I can access it through my ssl domain (syncthing.home.lab) but traefik takes care of everything.

Now if it’s on your local machine you’re trying to use your SSL certificate I don’t know, I always access it through the local ip (127.0.0.1:8384).

If I had to guess or give it a try, I would point the IP to my dns through my host file on my machine. But that’s just a wild guess :/

I think syncthing has a good documentation about it :)

N0x0n,

Just a simple example, on vanilla gnome you can not set nightlights to “always”, how stupid is that? Yeah there are some tweaks made by people you can download from the official gnome website… But than you have to trust their plugin/scripts…

I really don’t like that kind of modification :/

Yeah MacOS is probably the worst OS/GUI that ever existed, and that’s why following a similar path sounds just a bad idea…

Repairing bad sectors in an external drive

So I have this external 2.5" drive salvaged from an old laptop of mine. I was trying to use it to backup/store data but the transfer to the drive fails repeatedly at the ~290GB mark leading me to believe that maybe there is a bad sector on the drive. I tried to inspect the drive using smartmontools and smartctl but since it is...

N0x0n, (edited )

Hey did you find a solution? I maybe found something that could interest you !

Complementing @thebrain anwser, I totally wiped and fixed bad sectors on a old SSD drive I fought was borked because of alot of unallocated pending sectors. (In/out errors)

Keep in mind this is advanced stuff and could not work in your case and EVEN brick your hard drive. You will lost all your data and everything will be rewriten.

Manually rewrite sectors

https://leo.leung.xyz/wiki/Hdparm

Full wipe with “–security-erase-enhanced”

https://tinyapps.org/docs/wipe_drives_hdparm.html

This can take some time (3hours in my case) and it looks like your terminal is stuck, don’t worry just wait until it finishes !

Again this can be DANGEROUS ! Only attempt such mesure if you don’t care to lose your hard drive.
