This is kind of a strange article. Of course a court isn’t going to judge by someone’s character or good karma. If the judgement seems too high the blame should be on charging for someone else’s crime (deterrent sentences) and what is written as acceptable in the book

They literally said the issue was an unintentional bug and then fixed it. How is that damage control?

No

Will it not use it even after the ram fills up? I wouldn’t want the compressed part be prioritised anyways

Do you need a swappiness over 1 if you don’t have another swap device?

17.5: People’s names aren’t written in camelCase

Isn’t this already a thing on Wayland?

They say that they don’t have a minimum speed requirement and the speedtest result doesn’t affect your application. Also considering that they specify that you choose the node geographically closest to you (instead of the lowest latency one) and the only other information in the test is latency, it does sound like they’re either looking for vpns or your location.

IP is quite unreliable when it comes to geolocation, especially if you have a dynamic ip

Their speedtest requirement also seems to be about geolocating you.

Edit: Also would anyone explain why they prefer mp3 to aac and don’t even mention ogg? And what’s the point of uploading both cbr and vbr mp3s? Isn’t it ogg>aac>mp3 vbr>mp3 cbr quality wise?

How is the link file executing malware? Can you put any shell script as the target?

It needs webgl and wasm, it doesn’t block anything

… an html file that loads a video from the api servers. They’re still hosting the videos, no?

Wait so this is an api to… Build piracy streaming websites?? And they claim they’re immune to dmca? Why not just make their own website?

Looks better than I expected

Only upload TV and Radio shows that are PRODUCED IN A COMMONWEALTH COUNTRY or IRELAND. The UK is not included!

Also requires you choose a binary gender on account creation, demands your home ip address, requires you have 0.8+ ratio after downloading 35GB (which sounds impossible due to the limited user pool as a home seeder that doesn’t upload new torrents) or pay. Private trackers are creepy

Edit: it seems most popular shows don’t count towards download but do count towards uploads and that’s how they expect you to maintain ratio

Every update, Wayland breaks

Would you elaborate? If anything 555 and 560 should be more stable on Wayland

I feel silly for not thinking this… It works fine without the mod unless you try to change resolution/fullscreen settings.

Apparently the mod is supposed to disable in-game resolution controls and force it to borderless window at monitor resolution when the flipmodel swapchain is enabled (which is necessary for hdr). It seems to do this by always launching the game in a 720p window and depending on if the custom swapchain is enabled it either resizes it to the screen or applies the in-game resolution setting. Gamescope doesn’t respond to the change and keeps outputting 720p in a 1440p window :/.

I can’t wait for wine wayland

Edit: Just found that using the --force-windows-fullscreen option fixes this issue!!

Guessing from how this change required 3+ implementations before it became official according to the gitlab page, maybe it’s a chicken and egg situation. Hdr is a lot of work so maybe people don’t want to implement an unfinalized version that might change

Wow the icon saga is finished!?

If anyone wants to throw away a couple hours, there was SO much discussion (and initially drama) over it: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/269

The eff passphrase generator has about 2.5 bits of entropy per character (without word separators). Eff recommends 6 word passphrases, and with an avg word length of 7, that’s (only) 79.45 bits of entropy that won’t even fit in the 32 characters. If there wasn’t a password length limit it would be possible to saturate the hash entropy with a 20+ word & 102+ char passphrase.
