  • I’m not saying radiation like nukes. I’m saying that you treat cancer with radiation even though it kills nearby healthy cells. We tried surgery by electing Biden, but he didn’t get all the cancer. Maybe if a fucking rabid dog had been appointed to the DoJ instead of the feckless Garland it could have worked, idk.

    The weaknesses in the American systems of government have been both discovered and exploited. There’s no coming back from these systems being broken. It’s time to treat the cancer with radiation by building new systems.

    What kind of person reads my first post on context and assumes I’m talking about nuclear war? I feel sorry for you bro.







  • I don’t have FDE (BitLocker) enabled on my Windows 11 gaming PC. It sits in my house and has nothing on it but video games and video game related shit. I don’t even have my password manager installed for logging in to Steam, GoG or whatever other launcher. I manually type passwords in from the vault on my phone if the app doesn’t support QR code login like discord. Also I paid for this ridiculous m.2 nvme drive, I’m not going to just give up iops bc i want my game install files encrypted.

    I don’t use FDE on my NAS. Again it doesn’t leave my house. I probably should I guess, bc there is some stuff on there that would cause me to have industry certs revoked if they leaked, but idk I don’t. Everything irreplaceable is backed up off site, but the down time it would take to rebuild my pirated media libraries from scratch vs just swapping disks and rebuilding has me leery.

    I have FDE enabled on both my MacBooks. They leave the house with me, it seems to make sense.

    I don’t use FDE on Linux VMs I create on the MacBooks, the disk is already encrypted.

    My iphone doesn’t have the option to not use FDE I don’t think.

    I use encrypted rsync backups to store NAS stuff in the cloud. I use a PGP key on my yubikey to further encrypt specific files on my MacBooks as required beyond the general FDE.








  • If you have files with a bunch of different formats and codecs you don’t want to use anything Roku, your direct play options are extremely limited. This becomes almost a hard requirement when dealing with hevc 4K hdr/dv stuff unless you’ve got a server with quicksync or some oomph.

    I’m probably going to get a lot of derision for this because it’s Lemmy, but for wide direct play coverage you either want an Nvidia Shield or an Apple TV 4K. I like the Apple TV solution, and everyone in my household is familiar with the UI. The Shield is the only one of the two to support Atmos audio if you have ceiling or upward firing speakers. It’s also not apple if you’re ideologically opposed to owning Apple products.

    I’m not surprised you fell back to a Roku box from the built in TV apps, but if you’re going to go for a dedicated streaming box Roku, Firesticks/Firecubes, and Chromecasts should be the last resort due to ads in the experience and codec support.
