I have a single Pikachu sticker that says “ピカチュズキ” (Pikachuzuki) on my Suzuki. It throws people off because I’m not Japanese.

I just went on Youtube and watched the real song that was posted 15 years ago.

The comments are flooded with “RIP Rick Buckler” (drummer) from 15 days ago.

Now I’m ruined.

I first visited London only a few months after this came out. It was stuck in my head the moment I got on the platform at Heathrow.

$250 is a dumb denomination that only US would do.

1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 ,100 is followed by 200, 500, 1000.

JFC every measurement of everything in that country gets decided by someone who flunked in maths.

Changing U.S. law would be necessary to allow living people to appear on currency.

Or he could, ya know, die.

It’s weird that I had a tower desktop as a kid when it was niche, and I still have a tower desktop 35 years later when it’s niche again.

It would produce something completely different every time.

You either need to be indistinguishable from everyone else, or indistinguishable from your last page load.

Just randomly inserting fake fonts, changing your screen resolution by a few pixels, changing the variant of English between US, Canada, UK and Australia. Rendering text and images with unnoticeable random dither in the subpixel hinting. That sort of stuff.

Microg pairs best with LineageOS. I’ve done both and I prefer the GrapheneOS sandbox. It actually passes safetynet at the moment.

Just don’t expect RCS messages or NFC payments to work on either.

Are you talking about Betamax, ATRAC3, MemoryStick, Video8, Digital8, UMD, MiniDisc or BluRay?

I’ve configured my home wifi to capture all DNS regardless of its intended recipient. It’s unencrypted so it’s possible.

I also use encrypted DNS on my phone.

You can permit absolutely everything and make it just as bad as the stock OS if you want to.

Game consoles are solid-state and tend to not wear out like cars.

That said, my car is from 2003.

I got my partner to fill it in for me. After all, they’re the ones suffering from it the most.

My local Costco recently removed the coin locks. Almost immediately, trolleys were fucking everywhere except in the bay.

The coin locks never bothered me because I have a pick for them on my keys. And yes, I return the damn trolley every time.

Well… shit. My company just sold my department to another company. The phrase they use in the office is “a Microsoft shop”. We’re talking Windows, Teams, Azure and O365.

The transition is going to be shit. After the transition is over, it will be shit.

I might just operate my workflow entirely out of WSL2 out of spite.

Also: This was on kernel 6.11, which does not have the new NTSYNC driver (coming in 6.14). It’s going to get even better soon.

CS2 was tested on proton, but CS2 runs natively. It’s not a useful comparison.

Edit: Someone pointed out that Nobara has already manually backpatched NTSYNC into its kernel.

I disabled ssh on IPv4 and that reduced hacking attempts by 99%.

It’s on IPv6 port 22 with a DNS pointing to it. I can log into it remotely by hostname. Easy.

That’s basically it. My Ubuntu server is a router, NAS, plex server, public statum-1 NTP server, wordpress server, nextcloud server, security camera NVR, SMTP/IMAP mail server, CUPS print server, tor relay, and probably a few other things I forgot about.

You can do a lot with a single CPU from 2015.

I don’t have hostapd on it anymore. I now have dedicated APs on OpenWRT. The main problem with using a WNIC for an AP is that they don’t typically have a very strong broadcast output. I had to add an amplifier, and even then it wasn’t great.

I’ve done this before on Ubuntu. You can install nftables for routing, then install hostapd for a wifi AP.

If they know who is on Linux and who is reported as cheating, they wouldn’t use such a speculative metric to conclude that the cheaters are using linux.

I would find it very hard to believe that they don’t know which OS each client is using.
