I’ve been waiting since the initial announcement. It’s gonna be so good!

I don’t think you understand. I know privacy extension is for outbound and not inbound, but what use is it on a server?

I think there’s some misunderstanding

I get how IPv6 works, I got a /48 from my ISP. The problem is that I have some 15 devices here that I have to refer to in DNS and either I have to change their static IPs or I have to change their IPs in DNS if the prefix ever changes (it shouldn’t, because I pay for them to not do that). My laptop, phone and desktop do not get a static IPv6 and use the privacy extension. Is that not how you’re supposed to do it?

if your prefix ever changes you’ll have to update it everywhere

I mean that’s a good point but I’m paying money to not have my prefix changed. If I were to do it the intended way using DNS, how would I set up the DNS to be prefix agnostic? How would I reference devices in the firewall?

Very useful, but I don’t understand concept 1, “Don’t pick numbers”.

If I’m right, it’s basically saying don’t do stuff manually, just let the computer do it. I kind of disagree with this. All of my fixed devices have a fixed IP that I manually assigned and derived from the original v4 schema I also have. For example 192.168.x.y becomes prefix::y

Am I misunderstanding something?

I am talking strictly of in-game spinbots, catbots, omegatronics and the rest, whatever their names are, not cheats as a whole.

Prove I can do what?

It’s not that VAC is now trivial to bypass, it always was and is kind of by design. VAC is not an active adaptive anti-cheat, it literally just checks for predefined parameters and if anything trips then you’re flagged and will later be banned.

What happened here was that a source-code leak of the original 2007 TF2 revealed an exploit that allows clients to run in a no-graphics mode that still works on modern TF2. Someone found out that you can program a script to interact with the no-graphics client and make it do stuff like join public server queues and interact with the game world. So they made it run around headshotting people. Since the client is running without graphics, it’s very trivial to run tens if not hundreds of these from cheap machines.

I also want to give some insight because I see a lot of people wondering why the fuck they’re doing this at all but it’s actually very simple. It’s the thrill of the cat-and-mouse game and they’ve been winning it for years. I’ve developed cheats (in cooperation with the developers, it was a whole thing) and I understand it. There’s an element of fun to the puzzle game of trying to work around systems deliberately put in place to stop you. That’s all there is to it, they’re just enjoying this chase. A lot of them definitely also enjoy ruining fun but that’s not the primary motivator.

I could point out why, but I’d probably get banned

e: this is a dumb comment and I regret making it. What I was referring to was literally right in the opening of the article:

Eric Maurice, researcher at the European Policy Centre, said there are numerous factors behind the discontent.

‘‘It’s true that on the one hand, we can see in the election results a rise in the extremes, in the radical forces, on both the right and the left, with an increasingly uninhibited political language, in verbal violence, in ad hominem attacks in political debate too. And then a radicalisation, a polarisation of society and a difficulty in debating with political adversaries who often become enemies,’’ he said.

I read the title, made a bunch of assumptions and then posted my comment without reading the article.

I’m no expert but as far as I’ve understood it you need to generally have a very good understanding of the train you’re driving, equivalent to an actual engineering degree, because you’re the person who has to call central and tell them what’s wrong with your train when something happens and “It doesn’t go forward” isn’t useful.

Not exactly. It was far more in the past.

That’s not what this law is about, but yes actually they do!

I’m not even in the UK and my domains get hit by UK authorities that claim to be scanning for vulnerabilities

I’m not a programmer but I work with IT and I regularly need complex shell scripts. ChatGPT has enabled me to skip the largest portion of slamming my head against the wall by writing the script for me and then I can tune it if it gets something wrong. Saves me hours and hours of my life.

If my ISP didn’t constantly break my network from their side, I’d have effectively no downtime and nearly zero maintenance. I don’t live on the bleeding edge and I don’t do anything particularly experimental and most of my containers are as minimal as possible

I built my own x86 router with OpnSense Proxmox hypervisor Cheapo WiFi AP Thinkcentre NAS (just 1 drive, debian with Samba) Containers: Tor relay, gonic, corrade, owot, apache, backups, dns, owncast

All of this just works if I leave it alone

Lower class citizens and by extension the vast majority of immigrants are not treated very well by the official danish institutions. It is no surprise to me that many give up prospects and stay in (or turn to) a life of crime. This article is dumb.

I’m going to whip out my 12 hour Oblivion retrospective that I watched in one sitting as evidence to the contrary to support his point: This video is padding, it’s very slow and it doesn’t really get to that many points.

It is OK to criticize media, even if you enjoyed it. This video seems to be long-form for the sake of being long-form, not because it has a lot of ground to cover. I don’t particularly care, it mostly ran in the background, but it’s a legitimate criticism.

I’ve also personally noticed that I tend to click off 10-minute videos in 2 minutes if they don’t get to a point or say something interesting, because the trend is that it’s pushing for time to keep you engaged to show you more ads and it’s a huge waste of my time. Whatever that video eventually gets around to saying could’ve been a twitter post.

I think the point is that root is a universal user found on all linux systems where as users have all kinds of names. It narrows down the variables to brute-force, so simply removing the ability to use it means they have to guess a username and a password.

You know Librewolf?

Just do that

We are not arguing you should leave your fucking car you PUTZ, we are telling you that it’s not a hostage situation. I understand, I really do. It sucks so much to have to wait 10 minutes for once in your busy life, but to pretend that being held up is a hostage situation is fucking absurd.
