Jython’s your Python

I mean as long as Titanfall 2 works, that’s all that really matters.

There’s literally nothing wrong with enforcing TOTP over just a password.

NGL x86-64 tablets are legitimately much more useful than their competition.

No most millennials are also too lazy because they stopped giving a shit about computers when it stopped being a requirement to use the internet like 10-15 years ago because smartphones.

Most who did haven’t in at least a decade, and wouldn’t unless you put a gun to their head.

For some reason the vast majority of people seem to just want to ignore the machines that literally run our society, and its fucking maddening.

FFS the amount of people who I work with in IT and even then don’t really give a shit about their daily computing is absolutely fucking baffling.

Its really just a smattering of people from all ages who actually know how to use a computer because they’re actually interested in doing so.

Even in the most draconian countries, you can legally make backups of software you buy using unofficial methods so long as you don’t redistribute them.

Even if it wasn’t that would be completely fucking unenforceable and I can’t imagine being enough of a bootlicker to care.

Not true, you get a DRM free installer, which is arguably better than physical media for a console as it can be duplicated indefinitely without hinderance.

On one hand what’s going on is a travesty, on another we already tried this. It didn’t work. We fucked up by meddling with the middle east in the first place.

I don’t really know there’s a solution for the west at this point, more than just a lesson to learn about minding your own fucking business next time.

How do you fix an oppressive society when half of its citizens seem more than willing to oppress the other half?

Well that’s an assumption…

Also what’s the point of being anti-ai when you’re already anti-cpyright?

The issue isn’t generative AI, its capitalism. The AI just makes capitalism’s bad parts more efficient, or is at least supposed to.

Next time use matrix.

I remember the summer that came out. I was like 14/15. I had just built my first PC that Christmas, an fx6300/r9 270x build.

That alpha ran great on it, coming off of playing ut99 on shitty integrated graphics, the game looked fucking awesome.

Between that and the first Titanfall it was a good time for great shooters that would eventually be abandoned.

Jesus I sound like all the old farts who where reminiscing about ut99 at the time.

Or Bioware

Or Westwood

Or DICE

Or DreamWorks Interactive

Or Respawn Entertainment

Or …

Sure but you’re also specifically telling it direct instructions which it will follow every time to the T, based on predetermined logic.

That is no where near how an LLM works. Furthermore, most programming languages require effort to learn. They night not be machine language, or even an assambler, but its still a skill you actually have to learn beyond speaking your native tongue.

Also one could make the argument that machine code is a “description” of what you want the CPU to do.

Pfsense is a lot more feature rich than openWRT, especially when it comes to firewall features. Personally I just use openwrt to run my access points.

I would replace that eero unit with an old dell optiplex with pfsense, and forego trying to virtualize PFSense.

Not sure what hardware is in that eero, but if you wanted to keep it as just a basic AP, that isn’t a bad plan.

After that get a second optiplex for publicly hosted stuff. Keep that on a separate port on your PFSense machine, completely firewalled off from the rest of your network via pfsense, only allowing traffic from LAN to your server.

Physically separating your internal network, and publicly hosted services, as much as possible is the goal.

If you can only afford one new piece of hardware, I’d get the pfsense box, and set it up as a wireguard VPN server, disabling the direct port forwards to the VM running Minecraft. Though your friends would need to install a VPN client, and youd have to provide config files.

A used optiplex on eBay usually isn’t much more money to get up and running than most Linux SoC’s after all the adapters and kit is purchased, and they’re usually specced out way better.

Actually if you wanted to do physical DMZ separation, and wireguard you’d really be doing good, but that’s probably a little paranoid.

You’re adding attack surface by keeping them separated only by vlan. VLAN hopping exploits exist, especially in older firmware, ESPECIALLY on EoL units.

Pfsense is a proper router/firewall built on one of the most hardened networking stacks on the planet. Plus it catches regular software updates, no matter how old your hardware is. You can run it on an old PC with a cheap quad gigabit nic card from eBay if you’d like.

If I might ask, what do you have handling your inter-vlan routing/firewall? Is it the same box you use to handle the firewall/routing between your WAN and LAN?

Is this machine sitting in your LAN, or on its own firewalled off network with a DMZ? No matter how secure it is, you don’t want it on the same network as the machine you do your taxes on.

A good poor mans option is to get a pfsense box with 3 NIC’s. One for WAN, one for LAN, and one for the machine you publicly host with.

Setup firewall rules so that LAN can reach the MC host on needed ports, but not the other way around.

Yeah that’s why I said I don’t really buy the excuse myself, its just the only thing I could think of that really even starts to make sense.

And even then its far-fetched as shit.

Like I said that’s only what I’ve heard, but I haven’t played the Gamez and I doubt its true even if it did fit.

I’ve heard its because of the games anti-corporate message.

But even as someone who blames their boomer-ass wintel admin coworkers for allowing AD to EEE its way into enterprise IT, I have a hard time buying that. That game was making too much money for that.
