  • D.C. Grand Jury Orders Reddit to Turn Over Data on Anonymous ICE Critic

    Jump

  • I am no fan of reddit but in this case Reddit appears to have championed this users anonymity going so far as to actively draw the ire of the administration.

    • Reddit refused to comply with the initial administrative subpoena
    • the Federal government came back with this grand jury subpoena and warned Reddit not to disclose the existence of the subpoena or they’d consider it interference in federal law enforcement
    • Reddit complied with this new legally binding subpoena, but did not comply with the demand to keep it a secret. In the contrary, they immediately alerted the user of the subpoena which allowed him time to immediately lawyer up.

    You’re not wrong that you’re not safe posting on Reddit, but if this case is any indication you’re not any less safe posting in Reddit than any other site, including Lemmy.

  • Signing it verifies that the software was made by company that it says it was. It’s a method to avoid installing fake or malicious software.

    It is on its face a good thing, with the major caveat being who is in charge of who gets to sign what.

  • The person they’re replying to was talking specifically about their Plex server and how av1 causes problems with it. If their Plex server is the thing that is having trouble with AV1, then it’s encode.

  • “Click button media plays” would be the bare minimum a media server does. Being able to play media at all does not elevate it above of its position at the bottom of the media player stack.

  • Yeah you’re going to need HW acceleration to encode AV1 on your server “without issues”.

    Theres a world of difference between something that’s technically possible and something that will just work without issues of any kind. Something being “good enough” implies the existence of caveats. Mainly being that’d be a shitty experience lol.

  • jellyfin is the least functional of the trinity of media servers so that’s not the best recommendation here.

  • Neither of those things support AV1 encoding or decoding. Curious how you’ve come to believe you’re having “no issues” with a codec your hardware has no support for.

  • Can hardly blame you for failing to keep up with the breakneck pace in which the U.S. government has been assaulting our freedoms and privacy. Some new fresh hell every day an all.

  • Net Neutrality was repealed in the U.S. in 2017. ISPs including your mobile phone carrier are allowed to throttle your bandwidth based on the sites you visit. When you use a VPN an tunnel your DNS through it to servers not operated by your ISP, they don’t know which sites you’re visiting, so any automated throttling would not happen.

  • As somebody who knows how DNS works, there are certainly cases where DNS servers causing a delayed response to requests will slow down the initial loading of sites. This would result in a layman thinking their wireless speed is “slow”

  • Except they’re not ramping up production. On the contrary they’re reducing production in places.

    There will be no glut of surplus supply resulting in cheap prices because the hardware companies making the hardware for AI are the only ones actually profiting off the industry and they don’t want to be the ones left holding the bag when the bubble bursts.

  • Amazon and Google and basically all of FAANG/MAMA beg to differ.

    But it was not a collapse of the industry.

    I mean they don’t beg to differ at all and it absolutely collapsed. The result of which is the reason why FAANG as an acronym exists. FAANG is the resulting consolidation of the industry made possible by its widespread collapse.

  • GOG lets you download installers for all your games that you can back up somewhere so that you can install and run their DRM free games without GOG or even an internet connection. It’s like back when games came on cd/dvd.

    Steam is DRM so in most cases you can’t launch any of your games without the Steam client. Steam does sell some games that are DRM free on Steam, but you still need the Steam client to install them.

    So the difference here is that you can use GOG to build your own library of DRM free games that don’t need GOG at all. if GOG ceased to exist, you can still install and play all your games on any device you want.

    If Steam ceased to exist, you’d have no way to install your games on any device so you’d only be able to play the games you currently have installed, and only if they’re DRM Free.

  • How do you document your setup?

    Jump

  • If you have a mix of different systems both on-prem and cloud, and tie them together in various ways using VPNs, mesh or otherwise, create a graph using something like Excalidraw to give yourself a refresher on how everything connects. You want machines, hostnames, IPs, ports, and a list of services. You don’t have to be fancy by creating visual representations of each service, just a bulleted list. You only really have to update this when adding or removing compute.

    If you’re running services on lots of different nodes, a spreadsheet that just maps services to whatever URL you use access them, to whichever backend server is running them. This takes minimum effort and gets you 90% of the way there.
