I use a Hetzner Storage Box as extra storage to my Hetzner VPS. It almost feels like the storage is directly attached. We serve thousands of archives and binaries and have absolutely no problems. It’s fast and decently reliable (except some downtime I once experienced). The initial file access time might not be the best but the bandwidth is great.

Did you nuke the whole disk? Just 1 big Linux partition?

Try enabling/disabling Secure Boot.

I’m not too versed in grub, but did you change anything regarding UEFI? You might have to disable some BIOS/UEFI safe mode or toggle between BIOS and UEFI.

Linux Mint is a good beginner distro if you come from Windows.

a 150 year sentence for killing a 150 year old tree would be nice

If you’re going to hang out in coffeeshops just get whatever has a clearly visible Apple logo and spend the rest of your money on a beanie, airpods and fake glasses.

Makes me want to jank my head off.

That police officer kicking the face of the guy on the ground makes me more mad than the guys fighting back against the police.

Yes but the question was for a federated alternative. lemmynsfw is not a federation by itself. It’s only a part of a larger federation.

You would need multiple nsfw lemmy instances which can then become their own federation. Or a separate federation software on top of ActivityPub.

Do you guys realize how much 40% actually is in a single year? That’s crazy. Don’t just look at the 5.1%.

I’m sure it’s heavily influenced by the Steam Deck, it being a great device for porn and all, but still.

Back when I used Windows I used PatchMyPC and made it add a daily task.

It updated most of my programs.

A single instance is not federated by itself. It requires multiple instances to be considered a federation.

Just a little nitpick.

This.

They also have a form to submit AI crawlers.

CloudFlare can also easily maintain an anti AI crawler service completely by itself if it takes a fee on top of their pay per crawl functionality. However, considering CloudFlare already has all the tools and infrastructure to do this cheaply, providing a good service wouldn’t be too hard.

I think that’s a very big stretch and I don’t think we’ll see that any time soon. Microsoft is already losing market share and they can’t do much more of this type of stuff because more and more people are getting annoyed. (Including ones with a following such as PewDiePie)

Anyways, Linux is great.

I have done translations and even for my own language I often use an LLM. It’s the one thing they are actually amazing at. It’s also probably not about “anybody noticing”. It can very much be a single developer doing it on their own ChatGPT account and the QA didn’t notice it.

I really don’t care about this stuff though. The AI label should be for gen AI and not revising some text or translation imo.

You realize this’ll occur at the expense of Microsoft treating the user as an untrustworthy enemy.

What do you mean? Take away your ability to create drivers? Because it’s already extremely limited and you need to get signed. I guess this “change” would just mean not signing any new antivirus drivers.

This means modding (even for offline play) will not be allowed. Heck, even modify ini files might be viewed as “hacking”.

That’s a completely wrong take. Whether or not an anticheat runs in the kernel or not does not mean people can just go and edit their files. Even with a kernel level anticheat people can already do that if the driver is not running. The correct way is to do purity checks during connection to an online server, and only allow serverside code to update the gamestate. Any texture file hacks and local purity bypasses for those would need to be caught by the userland anticheat, like it has been done for ages. Not the best solution, but far more privacy friendly.

I agree removing the need for anti-cheat in principal sounds nice, but this means archiving games or porting them to “unsupported platforms” will be relics of the past.

Another weird take. Are you talking about the anticheat not being installable anymore? Because even if a game comes with a kernel level anticheat it would need a valid certificate, so any dead game would eventually have this problem regardless of it being allowed to install the driver. Porting games would in almost all cases get rid of the anticheat or somehow null it, disable any custom servers from forcing a valid anticheat, stuff like that. And archiving would be much easier without any anticheat at all, again regardless of kernel anticheat or userland anticheat.

MUCH better solutions against hacker are to use all this amazing machine learning stuff on the server side, put more power back into the hands of admins and their selfhosted servers, and handle reports about hackers better and faster.

I guess the trick is to not look for stuff to host because you’ll end up with all kinds of things you weren’t doing in the first place.

Well it’s a 70 times improvement so the developer gets a 70 times bonus. Or at least all the money that would be wasted without this fix.

Or is the world unfair and are developers nowadays just cogs in a capitalistic machine?

Too old? I don’t know this term.

Because Plex used to be good but new it’s just pure enshitification.
