- Comment on How can a company like Terabox give away 1TB of space for free and still stay a stable company? 7 hours ago:
Combine that with deduplicating file systems that will break fuels into chunks and if some of those are the same as another file, it will only get referenced, not stored twice. This then even works if two users upload the same file without sharing it. (Assuming files aren’t encrypted by the user)

A short little puzzle platformer: Leap Year. To complete the game, collect all of the calendar pages scattered throughout the level. But beware, there’s fall damage. While your jump is two blocks high, you can only survive a one block fall. There’s more to it, but spoilers…

You could define Powershell as the default shell in Windows 10, so that you wouldn’t need to explicitly invoke it every time - although, which (non-technical) user does this?
Windows 11 changed the default to Powershell so that you’ll always land in Powershell and need to invoke the old CMD explicitly. Also the new Terminal (optional in Win10, Default in Win11) defaults to Powershell.

- Comment on Astronomers seek global ban on space advertising 5 weeks ago:
Obtrusive space advertising is defined in U.S. federal law as “advertising in outer space that is capable of being recognized by a human being on the surface of the Earth without the aid of a telescope or other technological device.”
Too bad they have the requirement for a technological device. Else I’d be able to argue that I shouldn’t get any ads from satellite TV or when using Starlink or…

Tip:
For my cloud vps with Caddy and several containers I just pointed Caddy at a simple Caddyfile
/opt/caddy/Caddyfilethat globally sets up some basic things (like tls config for Let’s encrypt with email address and such) followed byimport sites-enabled/*So every container gets a Caddyfile in
/opt/caddy/sites-available/app.caddyfile(or wherever) and that one gets just linked to/opt/caddy/sites-enabled/.Now it’s easy to change the config of an app and only that one app.

I find it quite ironic that NVidia gave a free copy with the RTX 50 series in the last few weeks and the first thing I see when I checked yesterday is that Valve had to open a bug with NVidia because their drivers seem to crash the game in Proton…
- Comment on The First 13 Minutes of 007 First Light 1 month ago:
I mean, I fully expected them to use Denuvo or another aggressive DRM - considering the hype around the game. I initially expected something worse after I read that comment. Since DRM was broken by abusing the hypervisor, I wonder if a new generation of DRM might block running in a VM or on Linux/Proton completely. Like Kernel level DRM module or such.
If it’s “just” Denuvo, I personally don’t care that much as it usually gets removed after a while and I usually wait for a sale anyways. My backlog is big enough to keep me entertained.
As for the betrayed: Why the fuck do people preorder games? I get it, if you want a physical edition of a console game and want to be able to play day one (or want to have it delivered day one). I also get it somewhat with physical goodies of a limited edition (as the digital goodies are usually just a simple skin or such and not worth it). And I get it, if you consider backing a crowd funding campaign of an indie game as preorder. But besides that? It can and will only be a let down usually.

Huh? What do you mean? I guess they announced Denuvo or some other DRM?
- Comment on App doesn't let me use my 32 char password 1 month ago:
Been there. It’s somewhat ok if they do it consistently. E.g. registration and login form both allow more than 16 chars and then just truncate the password silently.
Worse is if the registration form does it, but the login form uses the full password you entered (or vice versa) and then the login fails because the password doesn’t match…

- Comment on Why are they asking about the serial number? 2 months ago:
An example: If Im ever going to sell my Nintendo Switch (1), I’m absolutely going to include the model number. The reason: It’s a launch day Switch. While this means that it is the oldest model and also the battery might have more wear than a newer model, it also suffers from an unpatchable hardware bug that allows you to hack the system (and run homebrew, pirated games, modded games,…).

Slowly? That was already a trend like 10 years ago. And since the number of xkcd strips only increased since then, it will happen more and more frequently.

I mean, while probably not everything of that was planned, those missions, interviews and streams also serve as PR. So it doesn’t surprise me when there are things like this happening AND “allowed” to occur.
Also it’s quite a different team building and “work athmosphere” needed here, if you do not only see your colleagues a few hours per day, but spend quite a while together.

- Comment on Amazon upsets ebook lovers by ending support for old Kindle devices 2 months ago:
With an old Kindle, it was trivially easy to rip Kindle books to retail-quality epubs.
Heh, yes. The encryption key for their old DRM was derivated from the Kindle’s serial number. Wanted to crack your library? Go to the webpage, download them all there (yes, that’s now blocked, too) open them all in calibre and use a plugin to deactivate the DRM (trivially to find back then). Enter your serial number and you’ve freed your whole library.
