There’s a lot more than just recognizing known raw IP addresses used as endpoints.

One method larger services with CDNs use effectively is to use DNS for blocking. When you try to access a site, your DNS request will resolve to a server close to you, with your location determining the domain resolving to a different IP. Then the platform just responds to those requests from outside their normal area with a consistent message. No need to know whether it’s actually a VPN or not, the traffic is acting like it is and doesn’t really have much of a reason to do that normally.

VPNs aren’t hard to detect, especially if you’re using a major service.

It was a lot more than that. He said from the beginning he was onboard for like 7 seasons if they stuck to the source material. Season 1 they immediately started fucking with main characters. The showrunners made it clear they wanted to make their own story, but had to use The Witcher IP.

The best scenes in the first season were ones that Cavill insisted were changed and that he worked on specifically to stay truer to the source material and his character.

Not sure why you are being downvoted for this

The downvotes are probably because they’re just stating something obvious. No shit, bad looking CGI looks bad, that doesn’t mean the actual CGI itself is necessarily bad. Small things like wrong lighting can make otherwise great CGI look terrible. The reasons DO matter, even if the average person may not really care and just has the takeaway of “bad CGI”.

Posting that type of response is not actually providing anything to the discussion, it’s a useless comment that provides no value. Not all comments and opinions are valid or constructive. The voting system is not really for agree/disagree, but whether a post adds to the discussion.

I’d argue it matters quite a bit. It shows producers, and by extension a studio, that can’t manage production effectively, and that almost always extends to the rest of the movie. “Bad” CG is rarely the only issue with those movies, it’s just what you remember most since movies in general require the suspension of disbelief and that pulls you right out of it.

So 90% of the self-proclaimed “power users”.

And often that’s not because the CGI itself is bad quality, but because the effects team was asked to do the impossible with half the tools necessary. The “fix it in post” mentality.

Even small things like having reference lighting examples from the set can be the difference between an okay outcome and something almost imperceptible.

There’s a lot of other shorr from content. There’s a lot that’s just quick highlights of longer form stuff for instance.

My YouTube Shorts algorithm doesn’t have any of that type of shit in it. Because that’s not the type of stuff that I watch, that’s not the stuff it recommends to be either.

If you’re using a new or privacy focused web profile, it’s going to show a lot of random things because it has no idea what you would want.

The initial attempt to scrub away the Banksy left behind a clear outline of the original that still made the original intent perfectly clear

It is very likely that was intentional and a planned part of the art in the first place given we’re talking about Banksy here. Knowing how they would try to remove it, and planning for that to further the art would totally be part of a Banksy piece.

Lucifer dared to question his father and was cast out for eternity and demonized for not blindly obeying. Not surprising he’d be a bit salty about that.

IIRC in the Bible Lucifer only kills one person, versus the millions God kills at a whim, usually for disobeying some bullshit he came up with that he never told anyone about.

Satan really just runs the place for God’s undesirables. Why would you want to worship the largest mass murderer in history in the first place though?

Assuming the stories and parables are true, or even based on any sort of reality, which of course they aren’t.

Mandatory school advertising on your children. And people say advertising in the US is out of control…

I see you’ve never heard of any big guys nicknames being Tiny?

Eh Diamond is okay, as long as it’s artifical. Better clarity and color, not contributing to the blood diamond trade, and a fraction of the price.

That being said, there are a ton of other prettier gems anyway, diamonds are boring as fuck.

No, Satan dared to defy his father and was thrown out of the house.

None of these fucks would dare defy their daddy Trump.

I switched to Bitwarden after the LastPass stuff a couple years ago, and I just got around to installing Vaultwarden on my TrueNAS system at home. Using a single Cloudflare Tunnel to handle secure external connections for that and other services like Emby easily. Took a little bit to setup following some guides, but has been working flawlessly for me and some friends. You can use the regular Bitwarden apps and extensions since they natively support self hosting.

You do know there’s a reason for that voice difference in MGSV right?

Very few people even bother to clock the link. They only ever read the headline.

It was someone that cheated in a tournament. Not a player in random match online. Although he probably tested the cheats there first.

Lots of downtime at work at 3am. Might as well poke the Europeans since they’re awake.
