• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I wanted to bury a hard drive for archival purposes (e.g. Country becoming Dictatorship), how to keep the contents from being damaged and where is the safest place to bury it?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They key is to diversify. Use different types of storage media, and duplicate your efforts and bury then duplicates somewhere else.

  If you can choose only 1 I would choose tape archives. Vacuum seal all your media, whatever they may be. Throw in some of those dehumidifier packets. Moisture will be your biggest enemy.

  If possible, also add the means to be able to read your media after a long time. Add a couple of raspberry pi computers, vacuum sealed and dehumidified-by-packets again, and usb readers or HATs for the media you chose (though I doubt you will find a cheap tape drive with USB connection, the only option I found was £9000).

  Over the years, as new technology gets developed, in particularly interface connectors that will replace USB, I would add converters if possible or just keep them around. Nothing suspicious about having some USB/sata/sas to <new technology> converter in your house.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not that a dumb tv offers better viewing quality, it’s that it needs to start an OS and an interface to navigate, injecting ads and whatnot, while a dumb tv will start in an instant and only outputs what is connected to its physical inputs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Statement on Stop Killing Games - VIDEOGAMES EUROPE⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, of course and it’s a lot better than what we have at this point, it’s a great first step. I still remember the days of Id Software releasing their game (logic) under the GPL.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Statement on Stop Killing Games - VIDEOGAMES EUROPE⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What “online only” means is the need to authenticate to a proprietary server. After logging in, you are then (potentially) directed to a random server to play on.

  If you are not online, you cannot authenticate and therefor not be directed to a server. This means you cannot play the game. When the authentication server and infrastructure behind the game is taken offline, the game becomes unplayable, because it is online only.

  If a final patch were to be made where either a private authentication server would be made available for you to self-host, or authenation to be completely removed, you could play the game either offline on your device locally or LAN, or online by anyone who cares enough to host a server with the game logic. It would no longer be “online only” since you would have a choice. You can choose to play offline, or choose to play online.

  If a game actually needs servers beyond the authentication part, then those should be made available too, so that anyone, again, can play locally or online.

  It’s logical that if game servers are made available, a game can never be “online only” again, because you could host the server on your pc and connect to localhost.

  Your whole argumentation about “online only” game design falls completely flat. You are mixing concepts that have nothing to do with one another.

  A game can be a battle royale by design, gameplay wise, and have the ability to host your own servers by design, technical architecture wise.

  Quake Live used to be online only. You could not host your own servers. They released for steam and made it possible to host your own servers. The old authentication system was taken down, logins are no longer required, and now you just launch the game and pick a server in a built in server browser. It should be the standard and Quake Live should serve as an example of how it should be done.
