Where Saddam?

Thanks I hate it

You mean those social networks full of your pictures, coupled with your profile info such as name and maybe date of birth? Sure bud

I only use it to receive email, so I don’t know about sending them, but they don’t go to spam

As for the vps yeah I use one, but it was a great experience to learn about selfhosting. As usual the difference between a vps and a pc at your home is static ip

How is a social media ban a surveillance measure? It literally makes it much harder to monitor what people do

Just like selfhosting email I suppose, point the domain and add mx records etc. I self host Addy which is a service that does that

I basically fix other people shitty voice for a living (replacing it with my own shitty code), the “best” one was by a guy, I suppose he was a self taught c programmer from how he wrote code, writing a complex python program. I saw:

• a function called randomNumberGenerator. It was a function which started a webserver. While looking for a python tutorial for something I found out why: he copy pasted the tutorial snippet but then didn’t bother renaming the function
• a program whose job was to listen to all other services and send them to another service via udp BUT it had a maximum buffer size so messages sometimes got truncated. I just directly put the listener in the target program and deleted it
• like another guy in this thread he didn’t use git. First day on the job they told me “yes, we need to check which machine has the latest code because he ssh into them and work there”. His version control was basically putting code in different machines
• lot of copied variables, because of c I suppose? Things like var = self.var
• camelCase python (ok this is just styling in the end)
• files with 10k lines of code
• half the services were in python 2, half in python 3. Don’t ask me why
• variables name in his original language (not English, not the client language)
• single letter variables, I fondly remember self.I (upper case i)
• I remember an if a == a: (I left it there because lol)
• he added a license check which used the ethernet mac address. Too bad ethernet was removed from the machine, and his code launched an exception which returned 00:00:00:00 as mac address, so all licenses were working on all machines

And many other things…

In another project I saw a backend running on the frontend, as in, this guy wrote the logic for a machine on the Javascript running the user interface of the screen

You can just say you’ve never played Monkey Island, it’s not a problem ;D

Tfw no cum ;(

Fucking hell

I wanted to play uncharted but instead wasted an hour checking out the first 8 pages

Yeah the power button hijack was really dumb, I immediately turned it off. I don’t know why when I connect the aux cable to my phone the AI assistant picker also pops up (I have disabled all the AI related settings I could find), but not always. Maybe it’s fixed with android 16 now.

Didn’t they already announce they’re going to drop 32 bit?

I don’t know how you host your website, but checking my reverse proxy logs I can see the user agents and indeed most of them are from llms

Lenovo Legion. If you pick a configurable one and remove windows they’ll lower the price accordingly (sometimes 100€ for windows pro). Some models offer Linux pre-installed.

Steam did an amazing job on the controller management, you can already remap everything. Disabling track pads should be easy

Yeah it’s kinda weird. As if anyone is growing weed because it’s manly and not because it’s awesome

Dumb idea: if the configuration is on a file, you can make it immutable. Something with chattr +i can’t remember. I take no responsibility if your server catches fire, and you may have to manually set the flag on and off if you want to add new media/change settings. It may be more complicated if everything is inside a “full” sql db

As for the rest, either start jellyfin at boot or a custom launcher or kodi. I don’t know if plasmashell is still working, it can probably be configured to only show the correct stuff. There are also custom launchers for android tv

If I had to guess is because you can be tracked by your screen resolution too, It’s just a way to minimize that. If you start tor browser, for example, it does not open full screen but only occupy a smaller window, for the same reason

No I speed read your message just as tonight I speed slept (as in, I didn’t sleep much)
