You’re probably right, but as a consumer all I saw was “LOL no disk for you, download game via steam.” And blamed steam.

And when they firsy came out they pissed off a LOT of people (including me) when they’d sell physical videogame cases with a piece of paper inside it with the key for downloading. I felt tricked when I bought games that were like this.

It’s from the brain damage.

When I built my NAS I intentionally bought the latest gen cpu, but kept it in to the 65W series with a GPU chip onboard. It’s an AMD Ryzen 5 7600 6-Core @ 3800 MHz. My coral usb does frigate and the integrated graphics chip does jellyfin just fine. I started with ssds, but half of them burned out pretty quick, so I replaced them with spinning rust. But, as-is it can run for an hour on my desktop grade UPS before it shuts down. My proxmox cluster is old laptops that mount an NFS drive from my NAS. So, yes, I took power efficiency into account.

I wonder if this has anything to do with them clawing back WiFi7 spectrum for resale.

Always blaming security bullshit. I anxiously await a community fork.

Next step is requiring a subscription.

A lot of wifi routers have a bridge mode you can put them in too. Just grab an old or cheap one, would likely draw less power and be quieter.

I have a few! They’re, just not, you know, allowed to connect to the internet…

Looks awesome, but if you’re looking for a daily driver to script on be aware that the screen is 12.5in. That’s the only drawback I see with it.

I’m not saying you should trust every VPN provider. Some have shown to be nore trustworthy than others. Police have raided their datacenrers and not gotten anything (no logs). And they have gone to courts and said they don’t keep that info. However if you don’t trust your ISP, and purely use a VPN, the only info your ISP will get is that you use a VPN. Your encrypted bank packet that they saw before is now an encrypted vpn packet. The vpn will see the encrypted bank packet, but youmre right, you have to trust that they have more to gain by not looking and selling than they gain by selling your info and losing customers.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure this just encrypts your dns requests. After DNS resolution, the traffic packet headers still have destination/source ip addresses and they can reverse dns lookup the ip addresses. Might make it require a few extra steps, but they’re the ones routing the traffic. Even your VPN traffic, they can’t decrypt what’s inside the packets, but they can see your traffic going to a known Mullvad vpn address in Norway or whatever.

Oh, is that why everyone hates matrix so much? I’ve been rocking it for years for me and my wife to communicate. It’s been pretty solid. Calls/video calls are hit and miss, but the chat has been great. I’ve never federated it. Account creation is locked down, local auth, etc.

While your ISP can’t see everything, they can see metadata. They can see which websites you go to, which social media you use the most, where you bank, where you shop, etc. How much do you think it would take for your ISP to sell that data? If you happen to live somewhere there are laws againat that, you are slightly less at risk. Fines are only a deterrant if they’re more than what’s being offered for your data.

That being said, this only protects you against your ISP or other purely ipaddress based info gatherers. Apps/social media/websites don’t purely use ipaddresses to track you.

I think in kde you can right click on the icon in the taskbar and choose ‘show above other windows’ or something similar.

It’s the sale 'ol shit Different day Gotta get up Gotta get up

As former QA I also agree with this chart.

If you don’t shy away from python, I just use the requests library most of the time:

homeserver_url = “XXX”

access_token = “XXX”

room_id = “!XXX”

url = f{homeserver_url}/_matrix/client/r0/rooms/{room_id}/send/m.room.message"

headers = {“Authorization”: f"Bearer {access_token}",“Content-Type”: “application/json”,}

data = “msgtype”: “m.text”,“body”: “Question of the day!”,}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data))

Alternatively I also have a bot I use in NodeRed connected to Home Assistant.

Double Alternatively, I’ve used AppRise successfully within various tools like ChangeDetection to notify me via matrix.

Menu -> Exit Game -> Yes

Scroll Down - > Exit Game -> Yes

Scroll Down -> Exit to Desktop -> Yes

Exit Launcher -> Yes

Jackbox is one of the worst offenders of this. Have to exit 4 times to actually exit the game.

I was under the assumption it was so you could copy/paste in the terminal. Highlight to copy, middle click to paste. Ctrl+c / ctrl+v are used by other things in the terminal already.
