  • There is a way to kinda make this work, this would be hardware based security. You could use a TPM to make reasonably sure the kernel is e.g. mainline / hardened / anything else acceptable. Hardware vendors (i.e. Intel, AMD etc.) would have to provide a service where they hash the kernel alongside their keys for the game devs to check against (probably not for free). You would absolutely have to use Secure Boot tho, and eventually keys may be leaked. Another possibility would be devs connecting directly to your TPM to make sure (afaik this is possible in principle, but not mean to be used that way).

    I think there are easier ways to prevent cheating tho, for example simply detecting suspicious activity on the server side, i.e. stats go way up, looking at data coming from clients other than yours.










  • “80,000 Hours”, because not only does it teach you something about wealth, humanism and fulfilling careers, it also highlights imminent dangers that receive little (scientific/regulatory) attention and points out that everyone can do something without being rich or a genius.

    Although I somewhat dislike their frequent measure of ‘impact’ in terms of money, the book puts quite a few things into perspective, and I can accept that you need to quantify things to do so. I particularly like that they encourage you to think about problems from different angles, and them pointing out that you can have a very real impact on the overall wellbeing of any living creature, pretty no matter what you do.



  • You wish they were like this, but in addition you are supposed to strongly look biologically male / female depending on what’s in your pants and only wear pants / dresses accordingly. Also please behave like they expect to and only like in bed who and what they allow you. And also please share their religion and fuck what science has to say about your sex.
