erinnh··on Anti-Anti-Adblocker uBlock filter to get rid of the annoying YouTube message
Its an archive solution.

So it uses redis and elastic search in the backend.

It definitely isnt lightweight, but I like its interface the best out of all solutions.

erinnh··on Analogue 3D
They mentioned it again today.

Duo will ship in 2023.

Pocket Adapters are "on target to ship by end of 2023"

Analogue OS 2.0 will release by end of 2023. With display mode support for openFPGA cores.

Personally, I use Tubearchivist.

There are others though.

erinnh··on CCC Invites to the 37th Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg
I cannot find where they are for any of those things you mentioned in your comment.

They are still campaigning against biometrics, surveillance, Trojans, data retention and electronic voting systems.

erinnh··on AWS IPv4 Estate Now Worth $4.5B
I was sponsored by a LIR for RIPE, but RIPE is the entity that gives out the /48 for me specifically. Its still PI space that I can announce with any ISP.

I could request a /32, but a /48 is definitely enough for me. Might request a second /48 at some point maybe.

Hurricane Electric Network Tools can do it.

Its an app.

erinnh··on AWS IPv4 Estate Now Worth $4.5B
Its a /48 for IPv6.

Thats what I have in my RIPE Account.

erinnh··on AWS IPv4 Estate Now Worth $4.5B
Technically, yes.

But good ISPs filter the prefixes their customers can announce to only those they actually own.

Then you have shitty providers that dont do it, and thats how you get BGP hijacking.

And you cant do this just from any connection, fyi.

You will need a datacenter, cloud host or residential ISP that actually allows you to peer with them and announce routes. This isnt a standard thing you get just by being a customer.

erinnh··on AWS IPv4 Estate Now Worth $4.5B
You dont?

It was extremely common with Teamspeak.

erinnh··on Plex to block all servers hosted at Hetzner
They do act on takedown requests.

They forward them to the customer and ask you to deal with it.

If you dont, you will be fired as customer.

erinnh··on OpenTF repository is now public
Would a non-permissible open source license somehow changed this?

Not sure what you mean.

erinnh··on Open-Source Washing
You’re quite correct. I tend to forget this point, because, to me, there isn’t much difference.
erinnh··on Open-Source Washing
Does it? You can run the software with AGPL. You simply need to contribute it back to the main project.

That’s a marked difference.

erinnh··on 5 years ago Valve released Proton
Is it?

Not really up to date on Windows stuff, but isn’t Microsoft only using UWP for all their (new) stuff?

Xbox launcher and all games on it are UWP, aren’t they?

erinnh··on 5 years ago Valve released Proton
Oh, I use those. But even then it’s sometimes more expensive to buy it on steam than say Uplay or Epic.
erinnh··on 5 years ago Valve released Proton
Force the move to their UWP platform even more?

Only release DirectX 13 with UWP support etc.

erinnh··on 5 years ago Valve released Proton
Absolutely agree.

I was starting to diversify my store fronts before Valve came out with the Deck.

But the release of it and the message it sent (that they take this seriously), made me reverse course and now I always buy my games on Steam, even if it costs 10 euro more.

erinnh··on The ReMarkable Streaming Tool v2: Elevating Remote Work Efficiency
I don’t see how it’s immaterial.

Because they are not releasing sources, it’s really hard to install alternative Android distributions on their devices.

Last I looked (which was 1-2 years ago), there were no alternative firmware for their devices.

Given the GPL violations in the wild, we should maybe try and not encourage them.

erinnh··on The ReMarkable Streaming Tool v2: Elevating Remote Work Efficiency
They are. They actively refuse to release the sources. And yeah they should be avoided.

erinnh··on ProtonMail Complied with 5,957 Data Requests in 2022 – Still Secure and Private?
Thats currently the case, isnt it?

All the encryption/decryption happens locally (inside your browser/client).

Thats why, if you want to full text search in proton you have to download your complete history into your browser.

erinnh··on NetMaker: Connect Everything with a WireGuard VPN
Why not have a standing WG connection between your home and external WG server and connect only to the external server?

You then route your home traffic through the home wg connection and all other traffic will exit the external server directly.

erinnh··on Intel Arc A580 could be the next great affordable GPU
Absolutely. But I do find that this actually gotten somewhat better in recent years with distributors such as Limited Run Games and the like (even when I loath them sometimes for their FOMO tactics) have often made possible small runs of physical editions of games, that would likely not have seen a release otherwise.
erinnh··on Intel Arc A580 could be the next great affordable GPU
I can see the trend you’re talking about, but the vast majority of games on consoles I can buy, put into my console and play without being online. Some games are obviously always online, some are just straight broken without patches, but the majority are just ok without internet. So I find that, currently, my point stands.
erinnh··on Intel Arc A580 could be the next great affordable GPU
Really helpful comment.

Mind explaining what you mean (preferably without being insufferable)?

erinnh··on Intel Arc A580 could be the next great affordable GPU
I don’t know how it is in the US, but where I live no employer allows you to use your private pc for work.

I agree with your first point. However a plus on the console side is that I can actually still own my games instead of licensing them (if you buy physical).

Thanks. Phone keyboards are hard sometimes.
erinnh··on Icanhazip: A simple IP address tool survived a deluge of users (2021)
I’d say that is up you. I can never remember what tld those other sites used. I’ve been using icanhazip since many years. I seem to remember it fine.
erinnh··on Icanhazip: A simple IP address tool survived a deluge of users (2021)
Icanhazip.com will do the same.

They have ipv4.icannazip.com and ipv6.icannazip.com where they will return that.

erinnh··on Icanhazip: A simple IP address tool survived a deluge of users (2021)
I don’t know of a server that does exactly what you wrote, but I generally troubleshoot dns issues with a few dig commands. dig without any parameters will resolve via your normal dns server and display the servers ip.

With @(dns server ip here) you can query a different dns server to check what their answer is.

With +trace you can go through the complete dns chain from the root servers on to check for issues in the chain.

Sorry if this doesn’t help you or you knew this already.

erinnh··on Conduit: Simple, fast and reliable chat server powered by Matrix
I use it regularly. There probably are those communities you are talking about, but I haven’t personally seen them, so my advice would be to ignore them and join those that more align with what you’d like to see.

I’ve found many nice and welcoming communities on matrix.
