Imagine hosting a software on your own hardware and still choosing the one that makes you dependent on the whims of a corporation lmao
Yes. By ‘VPN technology’ I mean e.g. wireguard, openVPN, which are infeasible to ban since companies probably use the same software stack.
VPN technology will never be banned, as most companies rely on it heavily, e.g. for remote work. The only thing I could see is ISPs keeping a blacklist of known addresses of commercial VPN providers, but that seems like an uphill battle


How is this done? Can you just re-enable the feature in the BIOS? And what about machines sold outside the US?


Why not make it a felony to propose laws that are ruled to be “obviously unconstitutional”? A citizen can go to jail for even trying to break a regular law, so it seems reasonable to do the same for politicians who try to break one of the foundational laws


Make it mandatory to institute a 5 year trial phase, during which encryption is broken only for politicians and public servants


That’s one of the major restrictions for casual use, yes. But if these measures are actually implemented, it might be worth it to have a second phone (or some other device) just for online banking


It sounds sophisticated to the layman
Xorg never worked quite right for me with multiple displays of different resolutions, orientations and refresh rates. Even after extensive setup, I would get screen tearing effects all the time. In wayland, everything just works OOTB for me.


I’m curious, does EFT work on Linux now? I had a workaround with a windows VM years ago, but the anti-cheat decided that was evil one day and wouldn’t let me play anymore


No, that was my setup for some time. KVM with PCI-e passthrough to pass the entire GPU to a windows VM. Worked great, until EAC started banning me for using a VM.


But those don’t work right on modern windows, either


Mature applications as in tried-and-tested software that will not produce wrong results, right? Right??
Yes. I leave my laptop running in the office overnight, and at the end of the day I have a bunch of note documents, papers, code editors, and corresponding plots open and arranged among multiple monitors. It’s extremely annoying to re-do this setup the next day, so I leave it running. If hibernation worked reliably, I could turn the machine off at the end of the day.
I still have issues on two separate machines. One won’t hibernate sometimes, I suspect the nvidia card. The other has a new-ish ethernet card, which doesn’t work after waking from hibernation (unless I reload the kernel module)


Imagine living in a place where software patents exist


That’s how you know it’s valueable! I don’t want some crappy product they give away for free. \s
No, but I’d say that all audiophiles are nerds
Of course this depends on your electricity cost and how well your grow is going, but it’s very feasible to get below 1€/g even with artificial lighting. Depending on what you would pay otherwise, you can recoup the initial investment for equipment with the first grow.
