  • This is the general sentiment I’ve been hearing, though surprisingly a lot of people belive that these games will eventually reach steam machine anyway because it seems stupid to them that it never happens.

    I didn’t expect it, but a lot of Xbox players I know are considering saving up for the steam machine because it replaces their need for a console + PC for games, and they are aware that Xbox has been pretty open to putting their games on PC anyway. Some even considered Nintendo emulation which is defnitley something I didn’t expect to see from Xbox only players.

    Halo Infinite and MCC run just fine on Linux. If they were comfortable letting their core IP on steam, it would be easy and probably beneficial for MSFT to do the same for CoD.

    I think the main holdout will be Epic Games, simply because they want to be a competitor to steam and they seem to hate the idea of giving valve any leverage in the gaming industry.


  • No, EAC, BattilEye, and a handful of other anticheat solutions have a native user space linux binary, and wine provides a way for the windows portion to hook into the linux portion, allowing the anticheat host to work with wine/proton games.

    This involves the developer enabling the option to allow this when building their game which most devs do except for the notorious few that refuse to enable it because they don’t want to spend the extra .00002% worth of budget into making proper anticheat solutions and instead rely on kernel rootkits to solve that problem for them.

    No, it’s more just that LTT is basically what the Verge or any ther subpar tech outlet could be if it had actual writing talent and a hint of tech literacy.

    Emphasis on a hint of tech literacy.*

    Most people actually into the tech scene don’t really watch LTT that often, or find their videos severely lacking.

    tbf, LTT does do a better job of providing the lens of an average consumer, and Torvalds has always kept the idea that FOSS really should not disqualify anyone from participating. He is happy to have Linux used and shown off by megacorps or individuals alike.

    spoiler

    Linus Sebastian’s background is being a warehouse manager for NCIX, which is why he has a very blatant history of misrepresenting lots of products, software, technology, etc, just like your average consumer. He has gotten better over the years, but his content is not intended to provide intense detail, usually just a general overview, even if it includes testing.



  • I think he’s over blowing the 5 dollar wrench method.

    Unless you live in a place where human rights are disregarded like every possible moment, they’d probably only resort to torturing you to gain access if they believe you are somehow connected or have ancillary evidence that points to you. IE that darkweb dude they tortured in Turkey to gain access to his encrypted laptop containing incriminating evidence.

    Otherwise they’ll just do a preemptive raid hoping that it leads to new information.

    Like right now border patrol has been forcing foreigners to show data on their mobile devices to see if you have any roasted vance memes so they can turn you away. But in many cases, it has been done because they already had you flagged as posting or sharing roasted vance memes online.

    Of course you could also always be in a craphole country where they’ll torture you anyway, regardless if they have any reason to believe you are connected to something, but simply due to the fact that you opted to use FDE or any practical security scheme.




  • There’s more *arr tools that aren’t aggregator automation tools than there are aggregator automation tools.

    Also It was only funny when using an existing words like "sonar, “radar”, “lidar”. Jellyseerr is dumb, even Jackett was pushing it.

    I guess it makes it somewhat easier to associate them as part of a group of software, but now we have stuff like Homarr that is entirely unrelated, but still a useful tool.

    Proxmox or even just lazy old KVM GUI for anything that needs to be deployed manually in a VM (Home Assistant, WIndows VM, etc.). Otherwise you can even just spin up whatever manual service you want to run on an LXC container or bare metal host with the correct security settings with systemd and selinux if you want to be extra careful.

    Docker/Podman (the superior one lol) is just an automated deployment system in container form (like Ansible). It great for automated deployment without having to manually configure the installation process and worry about upgrades, changes, etc. You can even easily create your own images on the fly just for the purpose of having it run a single service inside a container.

    Proxmox equivalent would be like using Terraform/OpenTofu to deploy VMs to do the same thing. Its possible, but just not that common because of the reduced overhead with containers, and well supported deployment images with docker/podman specifically.

    Generally speaking, I’ve seen proxmox used more in lab environments were you want to emulate something like a complete network of machines whereas docker/podman has become the defacto server deployment platform.

    You’re just much more likely to find software with a published docker container and default docker compose script than the same thing in Terraform or even K8s/K3s.









  • Kind of a lazy question, but are any of these protocols substantial over 802.11, especially if you just use p2p/adhoc/mesh modes?

    I haven’t touched mobile networks in a while so I’ve forgotten a lot, but iirc the main concern of mesh networks was efficient routing (which has been solved with some cool algorithms) and power efficiency for devices transmitting (again could have sworn 802.11 and even bluetooth can already achieve this).

    Zigby particularly stood out as annoying to me as it includes its own 2.4ghz physical layer stack which uses the same range as WiFI, which is already overcrowded as hell and relies on some CSMA/CA magic to make even the most apartment crowded area of APs function decently.

    Does jellyfin do untranscoded video/audio?

    Haven’t used it in years but finally building up my media server again and I remember it had some funky settings for hardware encoding back then which I didn’t need because I was connecting to it via a repurposed gaming laptop that could easily handle 4k content and surround sound by itself.
