Why would one trust a VPN of a spy-ware company?

Rikj000, 1 month ago

Well I’m not against No-Log VPNs,
I use them on the daily myself.

However using a VPN of a spy-ware company kinda defeats the purpose.

Correct:

For that reason I use Tubular,
a fork of NewPipe which supports SponsorBlock + ReturnYouTubeDislike:
github.com/polymorphicshade/Tubular

Happy to see XMR being delisted from sketchy CEXes before they implode! :)

Eww, still using the official spyware?

Why not try out a privacy respecting frontend?

I am confident in not giving a damn about Winpoop or iFruit and will stick to Linux instead!

After searching in the Suyu Discord,
these 3 mainly came up:

• github.com/ryzendew/Lime-3DS-Emulator
• github.com/Gamer64ytb/Lemonade
• github.com/wheremyfoodat/Panda3DS

Seems like Lime-3DS is currently in the lead regarding popularity.

Thank you!

I write PHP on the daily and don’t understand the hate it gets :/

At least I can work on Linux at home while my co-workers are stuck on Windows with their C#

Rikj000, 1 month ago

Legacy software still requires maintenance.
Legacy dependencies still require to be used in new projects.
Dual booting multiple times a day is not feasible.

For those reasons none of my co-workers can fully switch to Linux.

For me it works very well,
see my comment here:

However I don’t play anything with kernel based anti-cheat, so can’t vouch for that

Rikj000, 1 month ago

It does run Photoshop smoothly on my setup :)

Back when I did my setup,
there wasn’t a clear guide on the matter though, and it was rather hard to setup.

If you’re interested, I can link you all my bookmarks on the matter which I made back then though, however none of them were for Fedora / Nvidia specific.

For the pass-through mode,
I use VFIO (Virtual Function Input Output) with kernel / grub configurations, to always dedicate one of my 2 GPUs for the KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine).

You’d be looking for hot-plugging/hot-swapping your GPU instead, to un-attach your GPU from Linux and re-attach it to your Windows KVM when it boots.
Back when I was setting up my system, this was not possible on AMD yet due to a bug (Can’t vouch for Nvidia or if the AMD bug is fixed by now though)

Good luck! :)

Nice,
guess I will be switching from FDM to XDM!

Any clue how they compare against each other?

The gold standard should never have been abandoned.

Nixon untethered us by doing so,
now the inflation balloon will keep on rising as a result.

WASM = WebAssembly,
this has nothing to do with Java,
but with JS (JavaScript).

JS works with JIT (Just In Time) compilation, meaning every user that requests a web page, will request the JS and your browser will compile that JS on the fly as you request it.

WASM on the other hand is pre-compiled once, by the developer, when he/she is making the code. So when a user requests a WASM binary, they don’t have to wait for JIT compilation, since it was already pre-compiled by the developer.

They only have to wait for a tiny piece of JS,
which is still JIT compiled,
a tiny piece of JS to load in the WASM binary.

This saves the user from waiting on JIT compilation and thus speeds up requesting web pages.

WASM also increases security,
since binaries are harder to reverse engineer then plain text JS.

Due to those reasons,
I believe WASM will be the future for Web development.

No clue why people are hating on WASM,
but I guess they just don’t grasp all of the above yet.

Rikj000, 1 month ago

WASM projects can be open source,
just like Android apps can be.

However in both instances the compiled versions of it are not easily readable.

Also you can validate binaries against a shasum to ensure no tampering has happened with them.

Which very likely send your data to databrokers to be sold to the best bidder for “advertisement purposes”…

I dare you, scan the apps you use for well known trackers (= spyware) with ClassyShark3xodus:

Geometric Weather is no longer being developed + started to have issues with fetching data.

Breezy Weather is the actively developed fork / continuation of Geometric Weather:

• github.com/breezy-weather/breezy-weather
• apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/…/org.breezyweather

Figured it out by looking at a few issues on the Geometric Weather Github repo:

• github.com/WangDaYeeeeee/GeometricWeather/…/492
• github.com/WangDaYeeeeee/GeometricWeather/…/505

Hopefully it will inspire the game industry to finally start releasing some new good triple A games again, instead of milking existing franchises with half baked content, subscriptions and micro payments…

We vote with our wallet,
and currently we’re voting well with not buying into the crap they often pump out lately, and the statistics reflect that.

Not saying all new games are bad though, I’m thoroughly enjoying Horizon Forbidden West on PC lately.

But to me it does feel like the game industry has been dwindeling the past few years.

I assume due to venture capitalists who are not really passionate about creating good content, but more about turning a quick profit.

Flatpak:
To limit shady proprietary software from accessing your full storage / hardware.
You can manage the sandbox access through tools like FlatSeal.

Snap:
To ruin your day / user experience.

Both where introduced as a universal way to distribute packages on various distros.

Instead of making bedrock edition,
they could have focused on supporting JVM, and thus Minecraft Java Edition, for more consoles.

But since Java is a C# (also from M$) competitor, they likely did not want to go that route.

Anyways, you can play Java Edition on Linux, Mac, Windows and also Android.

Multiple consoles (E.g. PS4 / Nintendo Switch) unofficially support dual booting to Linux and/or Android.

For Android you can use PojavLauncher,
it even supports modpacks:
github.com/PojavLauncherTeam/PojavLauncher

I will not touch Bedrock edition,
especially not since it requires you to sign in on your Windows with a M$ account, while my Windows KVM is Ameliorated, which strips the ability to do so, nor would I want to if I could.

No easy way to set it up I’m afraid.

But if you’re interested,
I posted all the bookmarks I made, with tutorials and tools, when I set mine up here:
