  • Welp, it is like Kelvin, just with Fahrenheit step.

  • Aliasing

  • Neither. It's about using screen pixels to make vertical/horizontal lines, using aliasing as feature.

  • Alright, so others went over the "easy" way to see which program is being the offender. But I feel like the average Lemmy user just skips GUI at this point.Say hello to KDE:

    KDE also does automatic fsck before mounting, which is why it may take some 2 seconds to mount a drive.

    HDDs it properly spins down and unpowers as well.

  • Writes are asynchronous on Linux.

    Unless I mount it with sync, which I wish would be default for non-system drives (which are going to be in fstab anyway). I didn't notice any difference, aside from the lack of guessing when the magic is over. 2GiB goes into black hole, now what?

    Concerned about claiming warranty for homelab with Linux

  • Well, Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code#Computer_DVD_drives

    Basically same as regions on standalone DVD players. Just a scummy thing to only allow you to play DVDs from your own region, perhaps so that you wouldn't buy them from cheaper countries, or buy them earlier than you're supposed to in your country.

    If everything works correctly, then say you buy DVDs from UK, but something new just released in US, but haven't even played in cinemas in UK yet. So you buy it from US... and it shouldn't work.

    VLC doesn't care about this, but still, the drive firmware might.

    BluRays also have regions

    By the fucking way, BluRays have some DRM with revocable keys

    This is part of the AACS protection scheme: editors are able to revoke old software player host keys that have leaked on the Internet and distribute the lists on newer commercial disc releases. This is irreversible and cannot be fixed even after reflashing the drive.

    https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Blu-ray#Revoked_Host_key/certificate

    So when do you truly own something? When you pirate it. No regions, no DRM, 4k on any device powerful enough.

  • If it is a hardware failure, I don't see why it should be an issue. I know re-installing Windows is something PC repair shops do often, and I don't see how that's different from any other OS.

    fault or failure resulting from software

    Unfortunately, that's quite broad. But it could also just apply for stuff like overclocking or firmware modifications. Or even simpler stuff. I could see someone having DVDs from multiple regions, changing drive region every time until they hit the 5 changes limit, and then trying to claim it for warranty (I've had some software on Windows do that automatically...).

    Should I submit it with the Linux installation intact or replace it a fresh install of Windows

    Or if there's private data, overwrite it with output of /dev/urandom or /dev/zero. blkdiscard might also be your friend since it's an SSD.

    I am doubtful whether they have experience working on anything other than Windows

    Probably they'll just test the rest with their own drive or re-install it.

    Or maybe try to ask them how to prepare the device for the warranty claim.

    Probably an odd bug in WG Tunnel - either upload or download slow based on MTU Edit: And it was an IPv6 leak (for the most part)

    Jump

  • Welp, turns out I am just an idiot. 1279 and below disabled IPv6, and thus the ::/0 route didn't get applied either, causing a leak. What's still odd is the lower download speed that doesn't happen in another client.As for the upload, it probably gets a better route through the VPS, giving me a faster speed, and giving me some confusion.

    So my first idea with IPv6 was close, but on the other side of the connection.

    Anyway, your reply helped me find this issue, as my outtake was to try fully disabling IPv6 (not the first time I tried such "solution").

  • I tried catbox, but that didn't embed, and our instance is too slow to host images.

    Durning peak loads, I may wait up to 2 minutes to fully load lemmy.sdf.org.

    Otherwise I'd avoid Imgur as I always get 403 with a VPN, and I basically always use one.

  • I haven't yet mastered Vim, but say I want to delete a block of text, then I immediately see the relative line number up to which I want to delete lines + 1 (because current line is basically zero).

    Say I have:

     <>
        
 3 a
 2 b
 1 c
4  d
 1 e
 2 f
 3 g

    And I want do delete d,e and f, I do 3dd. With more lines, I don't have to count.

  • Yeah, catbox was broken, and I don't know another embeddable image host.

  • web sites are not actually inside their devices

    Proceeds to:

    • install Termux onto Android phone
    • mirror simple websites with wget
    • serve them with NGINX
    • install kiwix-serve and serve the entire English wikipedia
    • install Navidrome music server
    • set up port forwarding or use cloudflared (or just stay on LAN)

    Under proot I was also able to run Jellyfin server, and someone else also did Nextcloud and at some point a public BBS.

    But oh well, soon Google will block unauthorized apps because I probably just purchased a license to use the phone, as opposed to actually buying the device.

    As for why, it's just a battery-powered computer, so why not. And by the way, Navidrome in Termux is probably as easy as it gets anywhere, since it's in the repo. No docker or installing a .deb, just apt install navidrome.

  • the internet is broken

    Well, true. IPv4 exhaustion yet not enough IPv6 supportde-peering

    If this dispute escalates further and a complete de-peering happens in that case both networks will end up having a blackhole. Customers sitting on either side (and their single-homed downstreams) will not have any routes to each other.

    BGP hijacking

    On April 8th, 2010 China Telecom hijacked 15% of the Internet traffic for 18 minutes, experts speculate it was a large-scale experiment for controlling the traffic flows. The incident also affected US government (‘‘.gov’’) and military (‘‘.mil’’) websites.

  • I am sure you can rewrite it in some way.

    "Software and services proxying traffic destined to public internet through another countries or states", perhaps.

    But from the lack of brain matter I've seen so far they'll either:a) Require blocking of ports 1194 and 51820b) Manage to make routing illegal
