I know this is satire but Arch is like the worst distro for a newbie…

1·11 days agoI have no problem competing with kbm players using controller. Gyro plus touch pad on DS4/Steam controller is a game changer. I regularly get crowns on Fortnite.

Technology@lemmy.world•Signal warns it would pull out of Canada if made to comply with lawful access billEnglish
714·1 month agoMaybe we should be looking at the larger picture here this is exactly why Signal or any other privately owned centralized messaging system can never be trusted. Stop using Signal or WhatsApp.
Look at alternatives like Matrix that are immune to this sort of thing.

1·3 months agoI’ve got mine accessible with SSL proxy. I would say make sure you use an alternative port to help reduce exposure during scans.

Android@lemmy.world•Google is requiring mandatory developer verification for all Android apps in 2026English
5·4 months agoI was a windows phone user and the last Windows version is to blame for killing their phones. They released a half baked platform that literally required SOAP for all network traffic. No raw TCP or UDP access just SOAP… a horrible standard based on XML with like 10x the overhead. 6.1 was probably the best but even that was plagued by compatibility issues.

1·4 months agoThe truth is most pixel devices had the ability to do this but google kneecapped their pixel devices to push chromecast.

Technology@lemmy.world•MSI's $80 AMD motherboards with DDR4 support swoop in to rescue gamers amid the global RAM crisisEnglish
2·4 months agoI just did the same thing 100 bucks 32gb ram I had lying around, still very cheap. Managed 4.7 GHz overclock with my existing 8350 cooler. It’s the best CPU with DDR3 though I hear there are comparable xeons.

Technology@lemmy.world•Discord Distances Itself From Age Verification Firm After Ties To Palantir’s Peter Thiel SurfaceEnglish
3·5 months agoThey definitely can track you just based on your RF profile a lot of big stores have these orb things that aggregate everything… Bluetooth, Cellular, WiFi signals and can track you wherever you go in the store along with video, at which point you buy alcohol and a computer scans your ID or you use a credit card and bam you are fucked. ID barcodes also include your address. It’s also the easiest one to fake.
I just mentioned some positive facts about Obama on lemmy.ml memes and I got called a Nazi and banned. We got flavors of liberals who hate each other when we need to be working together. It was really strange being called a liberal Nazi.
If we get hung up on every small thing we are never gonna be happy at some point you have to recognize that people have different points of view we can’t be alienating people who are on the same team…

Technology@lemmy.world•Get ready to see ads on your… Samsung refrigeratorEnglish
1·10 months agoOh it has internet time sync. But the problem is… connecting to wifi with invalid time is problematic. There are internet check endpoints with certificates that can’t be verified. On the off chance that it does connect, I get a zillion certificate errors from different background processes.

Technology@lemmy.world•Get ready to see ads on your… Samsung refrigeratorEnglish
42·10 months agoHonestly, it doesn’t cost much more than fridge without a screen. I was trying to buy an LG with the window that you can knock on to see inside (not screen) but it was out of stock… and ended up with one of these fridges. The software is stupid though, I use it to play music sometimes when I’m cooking. It has some menu options for controlling the fridge too. I would love to load up custom ROM though… What annoys me the most is lack of RTC battery, because the time resets whenever there’s a power outage.

Technology@lemmy.world•Roblox, Discord sued after 15-year-old boy was allegedly groomed online before he died by suicideEnglish
1·10 months agoThey’re completely opt-in for server admins and use publicly available information to ban users seen logged into “condos” which are sexually explicit and used to groom children. It’s a system called Ro-Cleaner (among others) that allow moderators to blanket ban these people.
The fact is that Discord and Roblox aren’t doing anything to prevent this activity despite being responsible for facilitating it (condos are published on private Discord servers). When people report these servers or the condos they refuse to do anything meaningful.
I haven’t actually seen any evidence of doxxing/harassment. The system does not collect information other than usernames and the activities of those users in Roblox, both of which are publicly available. I would be interested in hearing whatever information you may have on this.

Technology@lemmy.world•Roblox, Discord sued after 15-year-old boy was allegedly groomed online before he died by suicideEnglish
111·10 months agoDiscord has been taking down free bot systems that people have created to cross check user history and keep them away from minors by banning them from all servers that subscribe to the service. It was entirely opt in and discord obviously doesn’t care that people are groomed they are in fact facilitating in and blocking any organized efforts to stop predators.

Linux@programming.dev•Initrd Support Could Finally Be On Its Way To Being Removed From The Linux Kernel
52·10 months agoClearly post does not understand kernel booting. Initrd will never go away, you need a way to tell the kernel to start systemd, which is usually part of initramfs. Both can be compiled as part of the kernel image which can be directly booted from EFI. So basically EFI->Kernel->Decompress InitramFS->Run Initrd Boot Script (usually ends by kicking off SystemD). Initramfs is compressed to reduce boot partition usage, load faster into ram (more noticeable on HDD). You want the bare minimum of kernel modules available in initramfs to load storage drivers, filesystem, LVM, LUKS. Everything else should be modules on the root filesystem, unless it needed for boot. You can compile these static into the kernel too. Generally modules are preferable as they can be unloaded/reloaded if there is an issue. Also updating initramfs modules is annoying. I wrote my own initrd scripts and custom initramfs. You can build it all with bash scripts and configure the kernel to include the payload.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Round Two: Can I manage to set up Jellyfin correctly this time?English
82·11 months agoIt’s perfectly fine to host jellyfin online. Use a proxy server to enable TLS and do not use default ports 80/443. Use letsencrypt for free certificates. No need for VPN to access here either. Do not expose any other ports such as SSH on default ports. Lock down your jellyfin server and any other related services behind a VPN service and block access to Internet through other interfaces (except for port forwards on your ISP for jelly). Go high on port ranges since they typically aren’t scanned or blocked. Go dual stack for best results and don’t use your router address for IPv6 more than likely you have your own /64 choose a different address for port forwards. Do not assign this address to your internal servers. Use a reserved unrouted IPv6 range internally and do NAT6. Do not allow any raw IPv6 internet access

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is KDE actually good or it is overrated? Or I was just unlucky because of prebuilt distros?
1·1 year agoThis happens on slower USB devices the data is buffered and the write won’t be complete right away. You can use the “sync” command and wait until it completes to make sure it’s done before you unmount the device. These days KDE shouldn’t let you unmount before it’s done though.

politics @lemmy.world•Ohio court partially overturns ban on gender-affirming care for LGBTQ+ youth, allows for puberty blockers
51·1 year agoI’m thankful they’re getting some relief. I don’t understand why anyone thinks trans bans are good. It’s more likely trans youth would die from medical issues and having their literal identity stripped away. We simply don’t have the bandwidth to decide all factors of people’s lives. We have to let people choose for themselves, for better or for worse. The best thing we can do is give them all the facts so moreso than not people are making informed choices.

So annoying that technology is so much more expensive these days. My steam deck is getting old and still appreciating in value its not how this is supposed to work. Like what the fuck. I am really fucking pissed. My old laptop from 2022 has 64GB of ram. I shouldn’t have to beg for more than 16GB of ram. Glad I built my server before all this nonsense started my $400 memory kit now retails for $4000. AI is complete fucking bullshit. It can’t be trusted at all. Every single google has wrong answers. Can’t even find legitimate websites anymore. We are so fucked. LLMs aren’t good and they never will be. Like yeah they can be useful but everyone is using them the wrong way. I started poisoning my reddit posts out of spite. Fuck them all. Ugggghhhhhhhhhhhh
