  • Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica

  • It's probably a TOS violation but you can combine it with pinchflat to strip ads and sponsored content from YouTube. It's not a general YouTube app though, rather you use it to preserve channels you're interested in.

    You can also use Jellyfin to serve legally purchased music from bandcamp etc, or movies and TV shows ripped from Blurays and DVDs.

  • Windows 11's adoption is much slower compared to Windows 10, claims Dell

  • I think you need Bazzite in your life (or some other immutable distro). But hey, fucking things up and recovering from it is how I learned both Windows and then Linux so there are upsides.

  • Vulkan's VK_EXT_present_timing Merged After Five Years In The Making

    Jump

  • That would be useful. I suspect native Vulkan applications and games would see the most benefit but perhaps DXVK can leverage it somehow.

  • Labor made a deal with the Greens today so hopefully that means none of the Go8 requested amendments will occur. Gross behaviour in any case.

  • A Facebook account isn't needed anymore (even for developer mode) but it makes perfect sense to buy a much more open, flexible, and trustworthy device.

  • I also want it local only because I don't want X company monitoring my queries, nor to be dependent on yet another cloud based service that can be enshittified at any moment.

  • Remember HoloLens?

    Even worse, they fucked over their Windows MR users by completely cutting off support rather than opening up the drivers. Thankfully, a third party developer stepped up and addressed things.

  • Frontier Communications IPv6 support

  • Didn't even know that was a thing here, thanks.

  • Just like the NoSQL people when that was the new hyped thing: But it's webscale!

  • Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally?

    Jump

  • A see the issue as more about habit formation and incentives, rather than the act in isolation being a problem. Those that come to rely on animal products from roadkill will inevitably turn to more conventional methods when roadkill is not available since they have become habituated to using animal products (although this is likely worse with more regular habits like meat eating).Additionally, if this method became widespread enough, there would be an incentive to increase the amount of roadkill (or at best, not decrease it) when in reality roadkill itself is a failure of transport design and land use.

  • Self hosted DNS

    Jump

  • Many would be self-hosting behind a VPN so are less affected by public DNS issues.

  • Buy a used (ICE) car, and you're supporting the fossil fuel industry. Walk, cycle, and public transport.

  • 100 years ago today

  • This is a bit like the opv vs fpv back and forth at the state level. Party in government thinks they can get a benefit from switching but it invariably backfires.

  • Headscale vs Netbird vs Pangolin - How do you like selfhosting them?

    Jump

  • I've used both Headscale and a while ago, Netbird. Some of this will be in comparison to raw Wireguard, which I'm also using.

    I'm currently using Headscale, but it does have some annoyances. There were breaking changes fairly often for a while, although it looks to have mostly stabilised now. Tailscale itself is pretty invasive with its routing rules and DNS which can break things or cause unexpected behaviour, which doesn't occur with raw Wireguard which is more predictable once you understand it. The Tailscale android client has been somewhat unreliable and clunky, although getting better, although third party Android clients for Wireguard, in turn, have also improved Wireguard usage dramatically. On the other hand, Headscale (or Netbird) are pretty much necessary if you are on a CG-NAT and need ipv4 access, and more usable if you want to build a mesh network.

    I can't remember if I tested the service Netbird or the self-hosted version (I think both) but the main thing I remember is that it had poor support for ipv6, which I consider mandatory. Otherwise, the Android client seemed solid and it felt well-designed overall. And maybe the ipv6 support is better now.

  • Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be.

    Jump

  • since people saying to do first a firmware update.

    I'd probably test it out first as it may already have newer firmware, and it gives you a baseline if anything gets better (or worse) after the update. I'll add that Plasma 6 had the best support last time I checked, so test that if you have issues.

  • CableMatters 102101

    And on Amazon; don't think it's widely available anywhere else, unfortunately.

    Ignore any commentary about Windows support, because unless something has changed recently, it has poor support on Windows and is missing most features. I have heard mixed things about whether it only supports Freesync on Linux rather than Freesync or VRR. Since my TV supports both and there doesn't appear to be a way to reliably differentiate between the two, I can't confirm either way.

  • I have one working from cablematters. It's slightly finicky (maybe driver issues) but supports HDR, vrr, and 4k@120hz.

  • Instead of racing in Backseat Champions you manage an AI driver like an auto-battling racer

    Jump

  • This could make a good rally game, where you berate the driver for not following the calls.
