Partisanship is a cancer. Inaction is a choice.
Singular they. Or whatever you like, I won’t take offence.

I used McDonald’s to make a cheeseburger in less than 30 minutes.
Except Mono implements the Windows-only .NET Framework, but PDN targets .NET 9. I have no idea how those two could be used at the same time for different parts of the app, what kinds of issues may arise from it, or if it can be done at all. Again, it sounds simple, but it never is.
compiling it for .NET on Linux
It always sounds so simple for the layperson. Just looking through the list of DLLs in the portable ZIP, PDN uses Windows Forms (
System.Windows.Formsnamespace), which, as far as I understand, isn’t included in the cross-platform releases of .NET. They’d have to rebuild the entire UI with .NET MAUI or some other cross-platform toolkit. Then there are lots of other bundled libraries that may or may not work in a .NET-on-Linux environment.Releasing and then supporting a second platform is never as easy as just compiling the executable. Figuring out the quirks and differences of various systems, especially one as heterogenous as the Linux ecosystem, is a drain on resources that small development studios often can’t afford. Raiguard (hallowed be his name), one of the developers of Factorio, and the person who is single-handedly maintaining the Linux-native build, wrote a blog post about its challenges.
0·1 day agoNo, we were taught about HTTP, the fundamentals of hypertext and how it gets rendered, how embedded code (Flash at the time; yes, I’m old) runs in the browser, and the concept of the digital footprint. The cybersecurity implications were obvious.
Actually, I have to correct myself. Some of this was taught in the 7th or 8th year of primary school, around ages 12-14. I was fortunate to be born in a country, at the right time, where the public education system was still worth something. My heart bleeds when I hear of what goes on across the ocean.
Not me. Call me old-fashioned, but I prefer organic.
Literally none of that should be surprising for people who have a basic understanding of how the WWW works.
They removed almost every basic networking feature with a firmware update. Even in “expert mode”, all I can do is set up the wifi and pick a single /24 network from 192.168.0.0/16. I can’t even pick a goddamn DNS server. Unfortunately the other ISPs that serve my area are at least twice as expensive.
One obstacle you might encounter is carrier-grade NAT or CGNAT. Some ISPs put residential subscribers behind an additional layer of IPv4 NAT, which makes your public address inaccessible from the internet. In that case, you’ll either need Tailscale or a similar service, or a VPS to act as a relay.
Then there’s Vodafone who have unilaterally removed both the port-forward feature and bridge mode from their residential cable modems, and I hate them, and wish them a hammer to balls.
I’ve got links. Do you have two and a half hours and enough alcohol to numb the pain?
About the person: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SU8xmhI5WjA
About his disgusting atrocity of a novel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoOnElCEliA
Summary (cw: mention of fictional rape)
tl;dw: he’s an Australian sword youtuber who practices historical European martial arts (HEMA) and is much criticised by the HEMA community, he’s an anti-woke nutjob with a fragile sense of masculinity, he’s a gun nut who thinks Australia should have an equivalent to the 2nd amendment (which he’s ranted and screamed about at length, showcasing why it’s necessary to keep guns away from him), he’s an “AI activist” who thinks writing words into a text box makes him an artist (while producing images that, even among his peers, look horrid), and he’s the envious brother of the actual, successful artist Jazza (who seems like a genuinely fine dude). He also wrote the novel Shadow of the Conqueror, which is a boring, badly written, preachy self-insert power fantasy, where he moralizes that rape and the resulting pregnancy is good actually because motherhood is wonderful (I’m not paraphrasing that much, and it’s still fucking disgusting to think about).
It’s actually a new project called BSD Secure. The entire root filesystem is encrypted using TLS, and you need both a domain and a valid certificate to boot. Better not let them expire!
Tim has been on the sauce for a while. He basically does the opposite of everything Valve does. Valve banned blockchain-based games, Epic opened the platform to scams with asset flip “games” attached. Valve regulated AI and required disclosure, Epic is now a safe haven for shovelware and Tim is screaming into the void that publishers should be allowed to hide AI usage.
Sweeney is like the Shadiversity of gaming. Massively overcompensating for his inferiority complex and forever doomed to live in the shadow of his more successful brother.
I already had zero interest or compulsion to buy anything Microsoft… but this is so violently repulsive, at this point, I feel like they owe me money.
i3-4160 running Proxmox (OPNSense VM and a couple of containers) with 3 spinny drives and no GPU, TP-Link 8x GbE switch, ASUS AX1800 as a Wifi AP, ISP’s own manky cable modem, plus a UPS eats about 66-72 watts at the wall socket. If I install a passively cooled GT-710 for transcoding, it adds 10-15 watts at idle.
It will run surprisingly well.
Like Cyberpunk 2077 on the PS4.
It was, in fact, a thing as recently as 2010. I know because I remember having to delete PulseAudio’s config after every second boot on Ubuntu 10.04 otherwise I wouldn’t have any audio. You were spared from the worst, be thankful for that.
This update is weird, did they put AI in my kernel?
(we got a new GEMINI episode before GTA 6)
From one autistic person to another, I’m going to make it extremely clear. The primary issue here is not that you used AI to write part of your project (although it is a legitimate source of concern for some). The issue, where you fucked up, is your response. You were unnecessarily rude, offensive, and confrontational in your initial reaction, and continued acting like that once people pointed it out after you asked.
Also, as a person with ASD myself: how dare you use your condition as an excuse for your behaviour. It’s fucking shameful, and that’s the most polite I’m willing to be about it.
you’re conflating me with the author of Cliparr
My mistake, I’ve edited the comment to reflect this. Although I don’t understand, then, why you even brought Cliparr up. You’re not involved, and only taking offence on someone else’s behalf.
That also means that the lovely message of “Ipso facto, for all the AI “Akshually” pedants, I’ve tagged this as AIP. Politely go fuck yourselves :)” was precipitated by a single negative interaction and a handful of downvotes. Regardless of linguistic and cultural differences, that’s just being a dick, and it should be pointed out. Perhaps you should reexamine how you handle criticism.
Adding dependencies, adding complexity, adding points of failure… not to mention that the first sentence in the readme literally says it’s an experimental project. Not something that a production software should ever be built upon.
