Was der digitale Euro bringen soll
  • Das amerikanische Anbieter mitmachen, ist nicht besonders überraschend, schließlich ist das bei dem europäischen Cloud-Projekt Gaia-X auch passiert.

    Gaia-X ist ein Produkt europäischer Bemühungen, souveräner und unabhängiger von US-Technologiekonzernen zu werden.

    Die Nachricht, dass Google, Microsoft und Amazon bei Gaia-X mitmachen, kam deshalb für viele überraschend.

  • what is your Favorite passwords manager and why
  • Like others've said, Bitwarden is awesome if you want a (selfhosted or hosted) server (e.g. as a much better replacement for LastPass).

    If you want an offline password manager, KeePass is the way to go (i.e. KeePassDX/KeePassXC for mobile/pc).

  • Statt Vorratsdatenspeicherung: Wir veröffentlichen den Gesetzentwurf für Quick-Freeze
  • Als ich den Koalitionsvertrag gesehen habe, war ich erfreut, dass anlasslose Vorratsdatenspeicherung konsequent abgelehnt wird.

    Da habe ich scheinbar meine Rechnung ohne das Innenministerium gemacht. Scheinbar sind InnenministerInnen grundsätzlich nicht in der Lage, die möglichen Konsequenzen ihrer Überwachungsforderungen nachzuvollziehen.

    Die einzige Erklärung, die mir einfällt, ist, dass im Innenministerium ein Haufen Überwachungsfans sitzen, die es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht haben, jede neue MinisterIn von der Ausweitung von Überwachungsgesetzen zu überzeugen.

  • Schummeln beim Videospielen: Sony verliert im Streit über Cheatsoftware
  • Letztendlich ist es schwer dazwischen zu unterscheiden. Ein Cheat läuft immer lokal auf der eigenen Hardware.

    Im Falle der PSP ist es mit Sicherheit offline, aber inzwischen enthalten die meisten Spiele Online-Elemente, selbst wenn sie eigentlich offline spielbar sind (bzw. sein müssten).

    Ich glaube, es ist sehr schwer, cheats für Online-Spiele zu verbieten, ohne auch rechtliche Schritte gegen cheats für Singleplayer-Spiele zu ermöglichen.

    Z.B. gibt es zwar das Recht auf eine Privatkopie, aber nur, solange kein Kopierschutz umgangen wird. Nun haben seit Jahrzehnten CD's einen unwirksamen Kopierschutz, aber rechtlich sind Privatkopien trotzdem verboten.

    So langsam gehen die CD's kaputt, und eigentlich darf niemand die Daten darauf für sich selbst und die Nachwelt aufbewahren.

    Wenn Cheats rechtlich verboten werden, könnte ein schlecht formuliertes Gesetz/Gerichtsentscheidung lokale Modifikation von jeglicher Software verbieten. Das wäre problematisch für alles Mögliche, vom Sicherheitslücken finden, zu Preservation für die Nachwelt und auch einfaches Modding

  • Firefox adds option to remove 'List All Tabs' button after user backlash
  • Agreed. Being able to customize all elements of the top bar is one of the great things about Firefox.
    I don't see a reason why it shouldn't be possible to remove newly added elements. Even the "Open a new tab" button can be removed, as well as the recently added "View recent browsing across windows and devices" button.

  • Media Center Question - Jellyfin/Steam/YT
  • FreeTube does not have controller support, and for AndroidTV I'd recommend SmartTube.

    Kodi/LibreELEC is able to do all of it, but IMO it's not a good experience for browsing YouTube and I don't know how well the third party Steam Link integrations work.

    This is why I'd also recommend LineageOS Android TV, which supports Pi's thanks to konstakang. But I'm not sure why it'd work better than a FireTV stick, since both run AndroidTV.

    Edit: I've had an issue where the Pi 5 wouldn't boot AndroidTV, until I tried to turn it on again after a few weeks. So I'd recommend sticking with the FireTV + SmartTube + Jellyfin + Steam Link (unless you've got a Pi 5 lying around anyway).

    Edit 2: The Pi 5 + Android TV had issues with HDMI-CEC of the TV, so I had to buy a remote with a USB adapter. This sends the wrong signals (e.g. keyboard enter, not what Android TV expects), which is fixable with some app remapper. Maybe it'll work better for you, but the FireTV is likely the easier solution.

  • [Solved] Custom mouse acceleration curve on Sway
  • IIRC the acceleration curves supported by Sway are the same as libinput, at least that's how I understood the poor pieces of Dokumentation I found [1]. I don't think think libinput supports offsets and upper limits, so it's not really useful for gaming.

    I'd recommend going with leetmouse, which does work well (altough I don't use it anymore).

    leetmouse by systemofapwne is more up to date and includes the PR of N-R-K [2].

  • I tried my brother's disney plus...
  • I agree that there are many great free streaming sites out there, with 1080p and good quality.

    But quality is still an advantage of paid services (or acquirung the larger files in other ways). Streaming with higher bitrate costs way more bandwidth (= money) while being marginally better.

    It's noticeable though, if you have a good, large enough display. Especially darker scenes suffer from low bitrate. On my phone I don't notice it at all.

    That's even true for high bitrate. E.g. I've even compared a Reacher WEB-DL to BluRay remux, and the latter was noticeably better — not that it's worth the additional storage usage.

  • What to you was your biggest loss of pirated content?
  • What RAID system did you use which corrupted your data on power loss? With software raid like zfs I believe corruption on power loss shouldn't be a problem (unless the hardware fails. Or your using btrfs raid 5/6, ignoring all warnings).

    Edit: For this reason I'm looking into buying another drive for an offline backup of my media files. I could redownload them, but it'd be increasingly more annoying.

  • Are there any alternatives to the Internet Archive that are built around P2P, so that everyone can contribute to hosting/sharing web archives? Seems like having all these important archives hosted by
  • If VPN's actually won't be able to protect its users from copyright claims anymore, there'll still be anonymisation networks like I2P (at least so long as encryption isn't banned).

    Yes, it's slow atm, but if it was included in more torrent clients and enabled by default, speeds would likely get better.

  • Why self host a password manager?
  • Because they use the official apps/web-vault, they don't need to implement most of the vault/encryption features, so at least the actual data should be fine.

    Security audits are expensive, so I don't expect it to happen, unless some sponsor pays for it.

    They have processes for CVEs and it seems like there wasn't any major security issues (altough I wouldn't host a public instance for unknown users).

  • YouTube says it is ‘not hiding the skip button’ on ads
  • “On skippable ads, the button appears after 5 seconds into playback, as always.”

    They aren't hiding the skip-button, they are hiding the not-being-able-to skip-button.

    I guess the advantage for Google is that users can't know whether they'll be able to skip, so they might watch more of the ad with expectations that they might be able to skip it.

  • Why self host a password manager?
  • Yes, Bitwarden browser plugins require TLS, so I use DNS challenge to get a cert without an open port 80/443.

    The domain points to a local IP, so I can't access it without the VPN.

    Having everything behind a reverse proxy makes it much easier to know which services are open, and I only need to open port 80/443 on my servers firewall.

  • Why self host a password manager?
  • Fully agreed.

    Accessing Vaultwarden through a VPN gives me peace of mind that it can't be attacked.

    Another great thing about Bitwarden is that it's possible to export locally cached passwords to (encrypted) json/csv. This makes recovery possible even if all backups were gone.
