You can. In practice

If you have two or more network adapters in your computer it can do network address translation to share your connection with your other devices that would use private IP addresses. If one of those network adapters is WiFi, your computer can act as a wireless access point.

Sounds like you’re looking for EncFS.

It’ll leak the size and structure of whatever you have there. Filenames and content are encrypted.

I guess I’d sail my late brother’s yacht for a season before I sell it. Could be nice to explore a new area without having to spend weeks on getting my own (bigger) yacht there.

I’d also inherit a couple of airbnb rentals, so I guess those would be business as usual. There’d be a couple of family houses to sell as well, I guess I’d invest those back into rentable real estate.

I was torrenting porn with good speed.

Seems unreasonably slow to me that xterm would take a second to start. My two computers running kernel 6.7 are slow than the machine in the test, both have BTRFS on LUKS.

I tried a cold start of xterm on my older thinkpad with an NVMe drive at ~0.3s.

A cold start on my desktop (also NVMe), 0.08s.

I’m unable to reproduce. I wonder if he might’ve had a fresh install with some background operations grinding on, or some indexing going on.

My 350€ three-year old phone has an SoC with 12GB of RAM.

I’ve discovered OneShortEye. He covers the speedrunning history of old point-and-click adventure games. I’m not particularly interested in speedrunning myself, but I’m just amazed at all the things I’ve missed in games that I’ve spent so many hours on. And the production quality is just insane for a one-man-show.

I think it’s a bit more invasive of a browser to inject shit depending on the sites I visit.

Do you have an iGPU as well?

If that’s the case, the mx150 needs to copy over the framebuffer to that one when you use the internal display. Performance can improve with an external display, but don’t expect wonders.

In my part of the BBS-world telnet is the only option. I’m a C64 guy, and a TCP stack is memory hungry enough for 64k of RAM.

But yes, encrypt when available.

BBSes are making a comeback. This time over telnet. They’re just as great as they used to be.

I’ve played Rebel Inc, so I know how to do it.

Don’t bribe too many people. Build infrastructure and social programmes. Train local forces to destroy all insurrections.

In my experience it takes more funding than you have to keep the population at ease.

Sounds like you have short attention span.

You’ll get at least one frame of added latency in the very best case when using original hardware on an LCD. Combine that with a TV that does its own processing and emulation and you’ll have some noticeable input lag. And yes, I know most TVs have a game mode.

Interlacing when doing sprite multiplexing looks shittier on an LCD, too. Unless you do blending at the cost of an additional frame of latency.

The experience is pretty similar.

The main selling point for me is that jellyfin is free open source software and completely self-hosted.

I don’t remember the tipping point even I left Plex, but I recall them injecting some live channels I had no interest in on the default screen. They do track everything you watch, so at the end of the day you and your data is the real product that they’re dealing with

Edit: I think the tipping point was even their password database leaked. Also, I was frustrated that I couldn’t watch content on my local network just because my internet was down.

I recall the fairphone 2 being touted as an open platform with support for ubuntu touch, phosh and more. There’s not a word of that with the current lineup.

Ubuntu touch supports it decently

I pirate metric shitloads of movies and series. I don’t pirate music or games (much).

I watch maybe 5-10% of what I download. That’s probably true for the games I buy as well.

The reason is part convenience. I probably listen to royalty free 95% music of the time, but for the other occasions Spotify has anything and everything I want to listen to. I can’t beat that library.

I game on Linux, the Switch and old retro computers. The old retro computers have all pirated games on them, but for Linux and Switch I buy my stuff on the Nintendo shop and Steam. They have everything and it just works.

The video streaming services of today have also taught me that they will pull licenses. When Netflix had a big library I stuck mostly to that, but today it feels like all the good content has been pulled and they mostly just have Netflix originals. So Hollywood has taught me that If I want to watch something, I shouldn’t rely on it being available on my streaming service of choice in the future. I’m not going to subscribe to a dozen streaming services just for the odd chance that I want to watch something particular. I’m going to have my own plex server with everything I might want to watch.

The one show that would make me consider getting a second streaming subscription just to support it is Futurama. But of course, Hulu is not available in my region… so, yarr.

Copying is not theft. Stealing a thing leaves one less left. Copying it makes one thing more; that’s what copying’s for. Copying is not theft. If I copy yours you have it too. One for me and one for you. That’s what copies can do. If I steal your bicycle you have to take the bus, but if I just copy it there’s one for each of us! Making more of a thing, that is what we call “copying”. Sharing ideas with everyone. That’s why copying is FUN!
