I'd argue that wine continues to improve as Valve submits upstream patches. Linux users can install Proton and take advantage of additional wine modifications that work around more issues, including a few DRM fixes.

By the time the entire Steam library is proton-compatible, I suspect proton will be better at running Windows games than modern Windows is, given the support for older games that require significant effort to use on Win 10/11

Unfortunately paywalled :/

Well, you'd previously tweet it. Now you'd exit.

Rebranding without a particular purpose really only serves to make everything more confusing. See X.com

If an opinion poll is needed to validate the rebrand, after the rebrand, then it's probably not the right choice.

Extra comment because that one was long. You mentioned protein needs - for this I recommend chickpeas. They have a mild to savory flavor and texture depending on how prepared. Tossed in olive oil and baked, they are very savory and go great when baked with red onion slices and shawarma spice. Otherwise, raw chickpeas can be made into a great curry!

So, this depends a lot on your taste and texture limitations. Would you be willing to share the kinds of flavors that have worked well for you in the past?

I've been theorizing recently that I could mitigate the loss of safe food events by seeking the base flavors I like and combining them with food textures I tolerate or enjoy, with the goal of making the same food taste entirely different throughout the week.

For example: full size carrots, great texture but way too carrot-y. Get a bag of carrots and 2 limes - get an extra lime if you dislike carrot flavor but like texture. Preheat oven to 425°F with a rack moved to the top slot. Cut carrots diagonally in 1/2" to 1" chunks, toss the chunks in olive oil such that they're all coated in it. Arrange oiled carrot chunks on an oven pan (baking sheet?), place in fully preheated oven for 20 minutes and wash the mixing bowl with soap then rinse and dry it. While carrots are cooking, zest the limes into the mixing bowl. Once carrots are done, put them into the mixing bowl and mix thoroughly so they're all lime zest coated. Nutritious and tolerable.

Another good one is rice made with flavor. I've got two flavors so far: garlicy (2-3 cloves) basmati rice and garlic(2-3 cloves)+gingerroot(1-2 thumb) jasmine rice. Measure out 1 cup of rice and 1.5cup water. Mince the flavor or get it in those pre-minced jars. Melt 1tbsp butter in medium pot, medium heat - enough heat that the butter bubbles a bit when melted. Once melted, toss in the flavor and let it sit 30-60seconds - let it get fragrant, move flavor around the pan a bit intermittently. Toss in rice, let sit for maybe 10 seconds (not sure why, it seems to improve texture). Toss in water. Add a portion of salt, start with a teaspoon and adjust in subsequent meals to taste. Increase heat to medium-high, enough to get the water boiling. Once boiling, turn heat down to minimum (often the 1 setting or Lo setting). Place lid on pot, set timer for 15 minutes. When timer dings, turn off heat and set pot on a cool burner for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork and eat; save extra in fridge for max 1 day, 2 if you like to live life on the edge.

If you can afford it, I recommend something like hello fresh because they take the hardest parts of new recipes out of your brain. Try their food and steal their ideas. You can even skip shipments and keep downloading the PDF recipes fron their website. Just steal that flavor!

I can get you a copy of the recipes I have if you direct message me.

The CLI has more functionality than the API, so you might have better luck listing all entries that way then looping through the details of each entry if the list doesn't contain the datetime.

Oh absolutely, I agree with the best practice! I just didn't know the real world efficacy of dropping packets near the NIC to mitigate DDOS load. There is certainly a performance limit but where that limit exists has been nebulous for me.

I recall a certain amount of overhead in IPTables "allow only from" situations but I'm not sure whether it's enough to make a DDOS any kind of viable on a server in this configuration.

Do you happen to know how effective the strategy is?

Server admin here, you can do this in a way that avoids lemmy even knowing anything has changed. Read through all of this and do some googling first if you don't know the specific commands to use!

First, you need to set the remote volume to automatically mount correctly on system restarts. On Linux, this is done by adding an entry for it to /etc/fstab if one does not exist already. Once done, 'mount -a' will mount the volume.

Mount your remote volume to the filesystem and rsync the folder you want to migrate off-server to it. Take the lemmy service offline, rsync again to catch any changes from when you started.

Now, you can move the old folder that lemmy has been using elsewhere - I recommend renaming it by appending ".old" or something.

Next, you need to make a symbolic link. This link should point from the old folder's original path and point to your remote volume. Once done, make sure everything is there and that file permissions match the ones in your .old folder - file permissions are important and you may need to recursively set them if your lemmy service runs on a different user than you were making these changes with.

Finally, say a prayer to the machine spirit, waft the holy incense, perform the ritual whack with a wrench, and start the lemmy service. Make sure everything is running properly before you walk away!

The only issue you're likely to run into is that remote volumes are constrained by network bandwidth. This may slow down load speeds, so some kind of CDN caching solution is recommended.

This sounds about right. They use PlayReady DRM so a browser extension might be able to pull the decryption key during playback. One could download that same stream from that playback season then use ffmpeg with the pulled key to decrypt.

Theoretically. I'd have to do more tinkering than I'm willing to try right now. WideVine is so much easier - just pull some keys from Android.

The best solution might just be to use a VPN like Mullvad, set torrent software like qBittorrent to only use the Mullvad network interface in advanced settings for safety, and grab the video from something like 1337x in a decrypted format.

The DFXP file should just be subtitles

The MPD file is most likely the one to work from - I suspect it is set up to reference the local audio and video files. Try opening it in VLC and see if it plays. If so, something like Handbrake should be able to transcode it all to your preferred format.

uBlock Origin and uBlock extension combined give really good ad blocking alone. Combine it with a DNS solution in your router like AdGuard and you won't have to deal with ads at all.

Simultaneously gives the middle finger to reddit because they live on ads.

Resurrecting this thread because I spent many hours on research for this:

I ended up getting Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's. They have decent noise cancellation, good fit via included interchangeable parts, very good sound quality, modern Bluetooth, a good app, and have decent battery life.

If noise cancellation is most important to you, there are options offered by Bose and Sony reported to have better quality in this one aspect at the cost of other aspects.

Assuming any dynamically loaded module will fail, why does KernelCare exist and why is it used so prevalently in web hosting environments? It costs money, so buying it when it doesn't work seems odd.

I haven't kept up since last year but I've looked at a couple bits of information here and there.

The RTX 3060 Ti seems to be in a pretty good place right now with the entire 4000 series overpriced for the provided performance.

I'd also take a look at AMD's current GPUs to compare price-performance with the understanding that they don't ray trace quite as well and won't have access to DLSS, although FSR 2.0 is pretty good when available.

The specific card depends on your budget, current PSU and the draw on that PSU, and possible discounts from retailers.

Well, you'd need to find a crack separate from a repack because they aren't in a format that lets you grab the data you need.

Also worth considering that your crack needs to match the game version in most cases. Updates to binary files are likely to make older crack versions incompatible. I tend to just download the repack and add the repack exe to Steam to make everything integrate well and to avoid automatic updates breaking the game.

If you haven't already, you could try resetting the app's storage before trying again. It won't prevent the bug for others but it could get it working for you!

This triggers geometry memories with right triangles.

Angle Side Angle

I've never had to interact with system updates in Linux distros beyond saying "yes I want to update" in the last decade. If I didn't want to, there's usually a force update flag available to skip the asking part. Would I do this for a server without backups? Absolutely not. For home use? I'll roll the dice; I have backups even if there's a couple days of shipping time to get all 12TB mailed to me.

Of course, major distribution releases are a different monster. Fortunately, I don't deal with those often and when I do, I migrate instead of upgrade.
