migadu.com still works greta for my private domain. $19/yr plus whatever the domain costs ($1.90 in my case)

Decent enough, 10-15% overhead with VFIO, as long as games dont use batleye or eac

Could you elaborate on the reform? I hear the hype yet to me it looks like a severely overpriced tv box with some low-grade peripherials strapped to it in the least space efficient way possible. Did they got rockchip to release sources instead of blobs or something? What is the praise actually for?

First time? Just open the rear door, get inside snugle to the left, open door, exit. Leave the doors open for the next person, while your buddy walks right over the hood.

Jokes aside, been guilty of this quite a few times. Sorry about that. In my defence, this was almost always due to a senile intersection design.

Mine.

Quad screen portable setup, baybeh! Razer’s Valerie aint got nuttin’ on me!

And then promptly fucked right out of peace negotiations immediately after signing the resources deal. Fits perfectly well with

They ONLY defend the corporate oligarchs’ ability to steal resources and use slave labor in third world countries.

I have a 2001 compaq n600 still being used from time to time as a gateway for old tech as it has COM as well as LPT and analog video outs. It has 1.2ghz celeron, 512mb ram, 30 gig drive. Thing is kind of a beast for its time as my own desktop at that time was nowhere close to its spects. Thing was gifted to me after initially being given to install win7 on it. After telling the guy that this isnt going to happen and the best they couldd hope for is winxp and even then it’d struggle, they told me “oh, so linux is the only option then… well, it doesnt work for me. Have it, then, have fun with it!”. I put ubuntu on it, but still gnome ground the poor cpu to a halt, so I had to switch to Xfce. Luckily it turned good enough not to downgrade further to things like bare X or Kolibri OS. Worked as a solitaire machine for my dad for a few years, helped me fix and set up stuff on a few occasions, but nowadays mostly collecting dust in my drawer.

If you have to ask, then there’s no reason not to. It’s people who tinker with their systems that encounter issues with it, or more often random annoyances that add up over tme to those memes.

Realistically, what are the odds of something going wrong unless you light up a cig while peeking right inside the fuel tank? Last year I’ve been taking smoke breaks at the gas stations every week near the pump with the crew working there, because I had to attend stuff in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, and wait around for potentially up to an hour with the gas station being the only inhabited place around. Still living and breathing, and I honestly don’t see how it could’ve turn badly. Yeah, I know, vapors and stuff, yadda-yadda, but those can only be in high enough concentrations to be dangerous maybe, at worst, within a hand’s reach of a tank or a nozzle? Otherwise, the station would have much worse problems than smokers.

I remember when I was a kid and we started learning foreign languages in school. My class got divided into two halves, ones that study English and other that study German. Few month later I was walking down the street with my classmate and he went like:

• Oh, so you’re studying English, huh? What does DUHR mean?

• What?

• DUHRR

• Oh, you mean door? It’s spelled do-o.

• Bro, there’s an R in there and two O’s. DUHR. Even I know that, and I’m not even the one studying English. If door was do-o, then would you spell TOH DOH as “to do”?

Little did the bro know… I hope he at least got German well enough, AFAIK there’s little bullshit like that

And only 3 messages in spam but those are forwards from my gmail acct for notifications from google services. Can’t be bothered to check if it’s possible to use custom email instead because I should probably just stop using google altogether.

Yeah, voice chat is all we need.

That is expected to speedup though as headcount difference keeps getting skewed even more. At some point there just simply won’t be enough people to hold the line.

Or better yet, host your own TeamSpeak server.

Speaking of which, are there any decent FOSS alternatives? Discord got banned in my homecountry and forcing it through VPN or proxy is a total pain in the ass. Forced my friends to move to TS as that’s what we used back in the day… like a decade ago, but maybe there’s something modern and more open nowadays?

Arent they like $100/yr a pop? Thats less than what adobe charges for photoshop.

This is a very legit concern. But to my understanding, it is possible to make the the camera that’s very hard to crack, by putting security enclave or whatever it is that makes phones hard to unlock, right inside the CCD chip. Even if somebody manages to strip off the top layer, chart out the cryptographic circuit, probe the ROM inside, etc and extract the private key, it should be possible upon finding it to revoke the key to that camera or even the entire model and make it even more painful in further models.

Another concern is of camera being pointed to the screen with a fake image, but I’ve searched and yet to find a convincing shot that doesn’t look like, well, a photo of a screen. But for this concern I think the only counter-measure would be to add photographer and publisher signatures to the mix, so that if anyone is engaging in such practice is caught, their entire library goes untrusted upon revocation. Wouldn’t be completely foolproof, but better than nothing, I guess.

Just checked, there are still brand new monitors on the market with just VGA+HDMI (e.g. MSI MP223, DELL SE2722H), but you’d really have to scrape the bottom of the barrel nowadays to find one. I think I actually might have a GPU with one of those lying around somewhere, thought, but does it even count if I never used one?

Yeah, MP Trios and glance which are type c only, latter also having hdmi. Though last time I dealt with desktop equipment I think was within 5 years but the pieces were probably more than 5 years old, think those were xiaomi a1’s and some random chineese FHD panels, with either 1650 or 1050 cards when we’ve built some budget workstations. I swear I didn’t try to avoid DP, just got lucky to deal with last pieces of equipment without it, and working remote on laptops got me severely out of touch with modern hardware.

Yeah. It’s a video interface but I have never seen the physical port, as I’ve said I have 6 monitors hooked using it’s signalling protocol, but all the physical connections are either type-c(DP alt mode) or eDP.
