My local Costco recently removed the coin locks. Almost immediately, trolleys were fucking everywhere except in the bay.

The coin locks never bothered me because I have a pick for them on my keys. And yes, I return the damn trolley every time.

Also: This was on kernel 6.11, which does not have the new NTSYNC driver (coming in 6.14). It’s going to get even better soon.

CS2 was tested on proton, but CS2 runs natively. It’s not a useful comparison.

Edit: Someone pointed out that Nobara has already manually backpatched NTSYNC into its kernel.

That’s basically it. My Ubuntu server is a router, NAS, plex server, public statum-1 NTP server, wordpress server, nextcloud server, security camera NVR, SMTP/IMAP mail server, CUPS print server, tor relay, and probably a few other things I forgot about.

You can do a lot with a single CPU from 2015.

I don’t have hostapd on it anymore. I now have dedicated APs on OpenWRT. The main problem with using a WNIC for an AP is that they don’t typically have a very strong broadcast output. I had to add an amplifier, and even then it wasn’t great.

I’ve done this before on Ubuntu. You can install nftables for routing, then install hostapd for a wifi AP.

If they know who is on Linux and who is reported as cheating, they wouldn’t use such a speculative metric to conclude that the cheaters are using linux.

I would find it very hard to believe that they don’t know which OS each client is using.

Are they seriously suggesting that 33% of cheating is coming from the 2% of users that run Linux?

That is an absolute bullshit figure that I refuse to believe.

I don’t even use it. Once I got SPF/SSL/DKIM/DMARC working, there was less spam than what I get on gmail.

The owners closed the restaurant and started a new one so I let the domain lapse.

Am I doing it right?

I haven’t looked in a while, but I thought the assets and binaries are separate, and it’s possible to switch binaries.

They’re not rendering the same source textures. The posters on the wall are completely different.

Is it the same copy of the game on different executables, or are these different editions?

ISPs often have SMTP relay servers. If you hook into that, your mail gets instant street cred.

Setting up fail2ban to block people trying to brute force the admin panel is a good start.

AreWeAntiCheatYet does a decent job of cataloguing what has anti-cheat, and what actually works on Linux / Wine.

It would be great to have it shown on the Steam store. I refunded a game recently because my kid bought something with anti-play by accident.

PlexAmp is an amazing bit of software for a phone. It doesn’t translate well to the desktop, but it’s still pretty good.

Your flacs will play lossless on wifi, and transcode to 128kbps opus on mobile. You can tweak those settings too.

Most smart TVs have a native plex app available too.

Wired xbox controller for PC games.

Wired switch controller for Nintendo emulation.

I happen to have both consoles and they work instantly over USB.

I know about that one. The 800MB “fix” for it has been crashing machines quite hard.

I don’t have that problem because I don’t run Windows.

Windows is shit.

IPv6 should not be disabled under any circumstances.

In fact, many devices in my house have IPv4 disabled. Disabling IPv4 on my public-facing SSH reduced the attack traffic to zero.

IPv4 is shit.

Public-facing: Password generator, stored in a password manager.

Internal LAN: Everything gets the same re-used, low-effort password.

Nobody is going to hack my CUPS server.

Thanks! I’m going through a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter because it was the only way to get 4K video. Pipewire is a bit flaky and applies filters that I don’t want. It’s a 3.1 channel setup. The goal is for the AV receiver to do all the decoding.
