“this isn’t a security issue but we fixed it” sure is a choice.

Idk why people have to think that security issues are somehow a blow to their self esteem or image. Just… Own up to it.

Only if you do something they don’t like, or generate way too much traffic.

I’ve been using it responsibly just fine for 5 years.

Cringe.

The writer of the article just lost value in his own body after being paralyzed from a hiking accident https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/dec/02/i-wish-i-could-say-i-kept-my-cool-my-maddening-experience-with-the-nhs-wheelchair-service

This borderline looks like a troll post.

Sound to a device is handled via the audio server, not whatever ffmpeg or a media player is doing. You are very lost.

Maybe learn that part and come back to the table with better questions.

In either case, make sure pipewire is installed along with pipewire-pulse and pipewire-alsa

Additionally, bluetooth headsets have connection mode profiles, controlled by the sound server as well.

I strongly suggest you read this book regarding normal people.

GOG has an affiliate partnership with Heroic Games Launcher already.

Normies hate choice.

The computer is just an annoying medium they have to interface with to get to email and Facebook. They don’t want options, they want consistency. This is why apple is popular, it appeals to this strong desire.

This is why win10 ltsc is the better choice.

Hmm yes, I can now trust random people on the internet to provide me DNS and hope they are not logging my DNS lookups or feeding me poisoned DNS resolves.

what could go wrong

Distrobox allows you to run an ‘os’ container essentially to install things in, then blow away when you’re done or no longer have a need. Its mostly used for mara messy programs or projects that you don’t want littering your main OS.

Yes

The only parts of Vivaldi that are closed is just their ui skin on top of chrome and the tweaks they added. They still provide source for the open bits they use (chromium under the hood).

…well shit.

edit: that being said, duckDNS has not changed in a LONG time, so Inadyn will work for duckdns fine. May need other solutions with evolving platforms like No-IP or Cloudflare as this begins to age out if no one forks it.

For dynamic updating of dns, don’t use ddclient or cron scripts on the server. Instead use inadyn.

Ddclient is more or less just dead/maintenance mode.

also using cron scripts kinda sucks and is ugly.

just use inadyn and spare yourself headache.

You’d basically just add something like this to the inadyn.conf file

provider duckdns.org {
    username         = YOUR_TOKEN
    password         = noPasswordForDuckdns
    hostname         = YOUR_DOMAIN.duckdns.org
}

Use mpv player like a normal person and stop chasing weird ui things

Dave is a charlatan who thinks that the fact he worked on one app decades ago somehow makes him relevant in the modern day. Not to mention that he sold shitty software that tricked people into fake anti-virus, and got hit legally for it.

Feel free to try out Rust then.

Not everyone needs to invent a language when one can contribute to an existing one.

Don’t see why this even needs to be news.

Zig is just mid anyway as a programming language, partly because its just a new masturbatory Lang for C people and partly because of Andrew’s poor, shepherding of the project.

I don’t think Andrew is notable enough to bother having a full article about the things he does.

Baba is you

First outrageous DDR5 RAM prices now ssd’s.

Welp. Won’t be upgrading my pc for the next few years I see
