Basically, media cannot truly be DRM because: (1) it ~has to be converted into data that screens and speakers can display (2) ultimately if it’s fetching widevine encryption keys, those keys are somewhere in your device and can be retrieved

So yes, you can do it. A “capture card” is such a “gyzmo” — but often, you can just rip using software, i.e. record the decoded stream

My guy they just caught an object falling from space using a pair of giant chopsticks

Nothing wrong with rsync, it’s still kinda the shit. Short script, will do everything

https://git-annex.branchable.com/ this thing extends git to handling lots of big files. Probably a solid choice, haven’t tried, but it claims to do exactly what you need, and even has ui and partial sync

Seems dope, I mean, your computer don’t work and retyping text is lame

Then how do you defeat the new bsod in the Linux kernel? It’s got a fancy QR code!!

(It’s “install bsd” isn’t it…)

Perfume?

Yeah idk or maybe use the right tool for the job rather than joining cults

Are you high?

Why am I writing this post? Not because I hope for something or believe in change. These are just words. I could write this at the end, but then you would be looking for answers for me while reading, and I don’t need them. They won’t change anything.
So here it is. I don’t claim to be a software development guru or a C language expert. I’m just a simple developer.

What? People stopped using C because it takes forever to write. You’re still stuck adding null terminators to string arrays and stressing about memory leaks and overflows. Even the Linux kernel / Linux Torvalds are moving towards Rust. That’s evolution, and sometimes evolution is messy

Then the rest of your thing seems to be about how people shouldn’t make money from coding? That’s one of the most valuable skills of the information age, and you can become a millionaire in a decade doing it

Just contribute to open source if you want to do some “good deeds”

Nah, ugly ppl still make the music, behind the scenes :p

Well, the Internet is connected together using routers/switches. Your own home network is a “private internet” until you pay to connect it to the big one. So if you want, nothing is stopping you from running cables to your neighbors and hooking together. But then you won’t have access to anything useful except whatever servers you guys run

Was that your question?

I think I need more info. It seems like userspace is very hackable, so thus kernel level anti-cheat was born to control stuff like synthetic inputs and manipulation of memory / frame analysis. This anti-cheat would be held together by the fact that the kernel/drivers are proprietary and not very easy to edit. Obviously still possible because it’s on your own computer, but challenging and invasive. Do I have that right?

In which case I don’t see how going back to userspace would help. What is the solution? There probably isn’t one outside of hardware (buying a hacking chip and soldering it in is annoying for most)

When I was doing game dev we focussed on AI-style analytics of user behavior. Of course a good enough bot could always look human. A real cat and mouse game wasting lots of time

Huh wow this has been going for a decade, uses Rust, and is run by the Linux Foundation now? That’s all very hype - seems like they need another couple years, but there is hope! I’m impressed

Functionally the same for most people. A VPN is a virtual LAN so you can access other computers on it. Ex. company’s internal websites from a remote location

Proxy just forwards traffic like a gateway. In both cases the source is hidden. LANs have gateways too

I often felt that current ML speeds up newbie devs by effectively teaching them the language and libraries — but slows down experts that already know the stack well from memory. I started coding in a new language and system, and ML can be a bit faster to teach me things and provide simple snippets than stack overflow

But over time I’ve learned that there are very specific things that ML can do really well, and I can save time when I apply those techniques. For example, it’s excellent at converting from one language or style to another, ex migrating configs from json to yaml. It’s also pretty good at writing configs or generating template code based on them. It’s good at picking an emoji from a list. It can write small functions or provide a template html layout. So I humbled myself and started integrating it into my workflow where it actually works

Yeah tldr is “rust good”, “ai overrated”, “i only care about the kernel and won’t answer your questions”

Wow this is epic and although intimidating, quite good to read and know

Wow positive supreme court news, wild. Tldr might be that users have a right to post and do stuff on the site, site owners have right to moderate and promote as they see fit, governments aren’t not allowed to stomp on free speech on these platforms or coerce the platforms?

That’s like one thing ML can actually help with XD cute cat

Yeah I’m with you on this, I actually only got it for YouTube music — which really is like “here you can play any song from the history of humanity and also yt video audios.” Well actually what happened is I was using Google Music and then the assholes shut it down and merged it into YT Music which is now roughly on par. I was pissed, but user retained

But I have been enjoying the fact that my subscription goes towards paying the ppl I watch, and I like that I’m unaffected by YT’s server side ads concept (which I’ve always wondered why they don’t do, I think it makes CDNs too hard to optimize while stitching ads directly into videos)

No way, that game terrorized my childhood and is basically just a picture book click adventure
