Another way to do this is sudo su -c 'this is my command’

E.g. change a fan setting on a ThinkPad with:

sudo su -c 'echo "level full-speed" > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan'

So to run a shell you could do all sorts of tricks like:

sudo su -c '/bin/bash -i' and such.

Never know when it comes in handy.

PGP also has a more identifiable structure and they could ban PGP and then scan for it easily based on PGP headers. KryptKey is more censorship resistant because the outputs can’t be scanned for as easily since data can be encrypted with normal words.

That answers my question as to why KryptKey wasn’t just encrypting using PGP.

Still, I’d very much like an app similar to KryptKey that uses PGP encryption, or an app I can copy-paste plaintext into and get PGP ciphertext out of like Kleopatra, do you know of any?

A question about kryptKey - why Signal protocol instead of just letting me import a PGP key and paste plain text in and use PGP for encryption and get ciphertext oit, like Kleopatra or GPG? I use that for DNMs and it’s swell.

Damn, TIL. Downloading now.

Eh it’s not really the same thing, there’s plenty of these sorts of things like rationalwiki and prolewiki and whatnot. I meant the Wikipedia itself

We don’t have data caps which is the most important thing.

I don’t have the storage capacity required personally

I imagine we will be saying goodbye to many such things soon, in the extreme maybe yhe entire idea of a global internet and many open projects like Wikipedia, I can’t see how they can coexist with our world now without being shut down or subverted into evil, might as well go out on their own terms.

I do hope a copy exists somewhere, perhaps waiting for a brighter day. Maybe that’s naive, but maybe truth and knowledge will become a desirable thing again one day.

My life is on a bunch of HDDs dug out of failed laptops with SMART errors some of which have already failed in the past, they are duct taped together and shoved inside a drive cage they don’t fit in.

I just moved to a new place with full fiber optic and it’s the first place I lived in where that’s a thing.

Pretty fun (and funny) sci-fi story, the open source katana bit gave me unix surrealism vibes but then again what doesn’t these days.

None of those have much real impact outside internet noise compared to people seeing their bank accounts drain.

I’ve been leaving corpo shit behind for years as a personal boycott, but even I found it much easier to invest time and effort moving off paid services than free ones because of a perceived material benefit beyond smug self-satisfaction.

Thanks!

Meh, I’d rather play at lower settings than upscale. DLSS just looks like muck and the rest of them are indistinguishable from just turning down the resolution to like 480p for funsies but also with added artifacts.

I don’t know any game my RTX 3090 can’t crush GPU wise at 1440p at decent settings. I even turned off path tracing in 2077 because I didn’t want to ever use DLSS until I found the mod that drops a few casts for enough performance to hit the mid 40 FPS mark.

But there is one situation where I support the brainrot and that’s on portables. Steam Deck did the right thing by having a nice OLED 1280x800 16:10 screen instead of chasing resolution, it looks great, but if they do up it as most g*mers seem to want them to for mostly nonsensical reasons, FSR could work there, and something like DL DSR could help for games with small details if they go for an 800p screen again which I certainly hope they do.

One thing I won’t miss for sure is TAA, fuck TAA so much all my homies hate that shit. DLAA is at least better but never forget they took SMAA and MSAA away from you for this absurd world where consoles advertise themselves as 4k, 8k while they run games at barely 720p via checkerboarding and what have you and have ray tracing comparisons that you’d swear are satire

Play the xbla version via Xenia with mouse support and you’ll love it more than you ever did.

What is an “Immich external library”? I’m a user of Immich but not sure what that means.
