Guys. This problem is solved already. Landlock, bubblewrap, UNIX DAC.

You better believe I was degaussing as many CRTs as I could.

How does this account for data caps vs unlimited plans?

I think I actually misinterpreted your original comment because of the typo in this sentence:

If billionaires were no longer allowed, and the money was re distributed amount people with 9 figure net worth already, it doesn’t solve anything.

(I now realize you probably meant to write "among".)

I didn't realize you were saying, "it doesn't help if you redistribute wealth to the wrong people". And that sort of set the tone incorrectly for the rest of your comment. That materially changes how I read your comment, and I do mostly agree with your points.

I'm not sure I agree that this isn't exclusive to capitalism though. If you impose a tax that effectively caps wealth, then you are inherently compromising one of the core tenets of capitalism: private ownership of means of production. And I'm also not sure that this type of tax even goes far enough to prevent worker exploitation, but I guess we'll see if it ever actually happens.

How exactly does wealth redistribution not solve anything? The disparity is the problem.

if people have the mobility to move from jobs, housing and Healthcare taken care of, and their basic needs met, I think it solves a lot of labor exploitation right away

And how are you going to pay for that without wealth redistribution?

What's their op ex though? I feel like there must be a sizable portion of that which isn't actually necessary to keep the service up.

I'll second what a few people have already said: outdoor concerts are usually the best ones IME.

Talking at shows doesn't really work. If you're able to carry a conversation, chances are you are being rude to the people trying to listen.

There are many ways that a concert can go wrong outside of the performer's control. All of these have happened to me:

  1. Bad audio engineers. Too loud. Poor EQ.

  2. Venue sold too many tickets and it's too crowded to dance or even stand comfortably.

  3. Incompetent management results in poor logistics. E.g. long lines making people miss the show.

  4. Venue itself just has poor acoustics that can't be fixed.

  5. Crowd has assholes. People putting their phones up to record the whole time blocking your view. People shoving their way to the front. People not understanding how to behave in a mosh pit and hurting someone. People doing so much DMT that you can't breathe without smelling it.

  6. Venue failing to provide free water.

Don't let that sour you on concerts though. I've been to way more good shows than bad ones. Usually if you find a good venue, it will stay good. Some performers are even so professional that they eliminate all possibility of the aforementioned issues by having their own staff take care of everything.

There ain't no way in fuck it's worth 60bn.

 

This might not be entirely on topic, but I think someone here will know the answer.

Does anyone have a working setup for streaming from jellyfin to an OLED TV (preferably LG) that supports Dolby Vision? AFAICT every device in the chain (except the server) needs to be DV-licensed.

Apparently KODI on a linux box (my current setup) cannot output DV content over HDMI.

I'm wondering if LG's native OS has a Jellyfin client that supports DV well. It's either that or:

  • Apple TV + infuse client (expensive)
  • Google TV Streamer
 

I didn't think I'd spend hours reading about this today, but some things surprised me:

  1. Just using a Playstation sounds like it won't work or will be a huge time sink.
  2. Blu ray optical drives are way more expensive than I thought
  3. The copy protections on Blu rays are exceptionally annoying, to the extent where there is really only one closed source software -- MakeMKV -- that can work around them. This post goes into some interesting details.
  4. Finding a drive that is known to work with MakeMKV is a pain. There's a brand called Pioneer that seems promising but they have stopped producing bluray drives ~~went out of business last year~~. I have no idea which model works, and it's common that secondhand sellers will swap enclosures and pass it off as a different model.
  5. Sometimes you need to flash the firmware on the drive to make it work with 4K UHD discs.

I was going to try ripping a Blu-ray that I bought recently, since I couldn't find a quality rip anywhere, but I'm pretty turned off from the whole prospect at this point.

Anyway I'm not really asking for a specific reply, I just thought this topic was interesting and I'm curious what people think about Blu rays and optical media in general. Does the future seem bleak? Are we going to be stuck with shitty WebDLs for most new content? Or is physical media here to stay?

 

Struggling to find a particular book. I was going to buy it on Rakuten Kobo, but they literally won't sell it if you're not in Japan.

I think like 98% of mobile games are pretty much trash, but there are some diamonds in the rough.

In the past I've enjoyed:

  • Monument Valley
  • 2048
  • Fruit Merge
  • Hashi
  • Papers Please
  • Baba is You
  • Balatro

I'm getting bored of my usual picks lately. I'm looking for something that's quick to jump in and out to pass the time, not something heavy. But hard puzzles or strategy totally fit!

Is the FF Tactics port good? Better alternatives?

 
 

AFAICT, if a Netflix account owner sets up a VPN for their household, then anyone sharing the account who routes their Netflix traffic through that VPN would appear to be accessing Netflix from that household's WAN IP address.

Is anyone doing this? Is it really that simple or are there more challenges?

EDIT: We get it, you like torrenting. Let's keep comments on topic folks.

 

Richard once decided to read the mind of a hermit oracle who knew everything. This drove Richard insane.

I just had to act insane for multiple D&D sessions.

 
 

I ask because it would be nice to use the "I2P mixed mode" features of qbittorrent, but I want to keep my clearnet traffic on the VPN.

Background

I have I2PD running only on my home gateway for better tunnel uptime.

To ensure that torrent traffic never escapes the VPN tunnel, I have configured qbittorrent to use only the VPN Wireguard interface.

Problem

I think this means qbittorrent I2P traffic will flow into the VPN tunnel, but then the VPN host won't know how to route back to my home gateway where the SAM bridge is running.

 

I've configured my i2pd proxy correctly so things are somewhat working. I was able to visit notbob.i2p. But sometimes Firefox really likes to replace "http" with "https" when I click on a link or even enter the URL manually into the bar. I have "HTTPS-only mode" turned off, and I also have "browser.fixup.fallback-to-https" set to "false" and "network.stricttransportsecurity.preloadlist" to false.

I tried spying on the HTTP traffic in web dev tools, and I see the request gets NS_ERROR_UNKNOWN_HOST. This does not happen when using the xh CLI HTTP client, so Firefox is doing something weird with name resolution. I made sure to turn off the Firefox DNS over HTTPs setting as well, but it didn't seem to make a difference.

I assume that name resolution needs to happen in i2pd. How can I force Firefox to let that happen?

Update: Chrome works fine.

Update: I started fresh and simplified the setup and it seems fixed. I'm not entirely sure why. The only things I've changed from default are DoH and the manual HTTP proxy.

 

I was just reading through the interview process for RED, and they specifically forbid the use of VPN during the interview. I don't understand this requirement, and it seems like it would just leak your IP address to the IRC host, which could potentially be used against you in a honeypot scenario. Once they have your IP, they could link that with the credentials used with the tracker while you are torrenting, regardless of if you used VPN while torrenting.
