xslvrxslwt··on Hetzner Price Adjustment
Hetzner has long been affordable due to its subpar latency and protection, making this price increase very questionable. No one has real reason to choose hetzner if it is not affordable. OVH ends it, one Romanian provider as well.
xslvrxslwt··on JSON formatter Chrome plugin now closed and injecting adware
Good for him.
xslvrxslwt··on Hetzner Prices increase 30-40%
The reason Hetzner was cheap was bad latency and Arbor.
xslvrxslwt··on Hetzner Prices increase 30-40%
They're using Arbor, they were cheap for that exact reason.

Now that people don't care about Anti DDoS - this happens.

In the past everyone was leaving Hetzner for the OVH/Voxility due to terrible latency and nonexistent protection.

xslvrxslwt··on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues
because I'm from Serbia so I was released immediately instead of actually being jailed like my friend from Croatia ~
xslvrxslwt··on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues
Nah, I'm just talking about the possibilities
xslvrxslwt··on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues
I know, but people love the feel of "power", especially when it's cheap or even free
xslvrxslwt··on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues
Literally specific to "did I make this skid angry or not", it takes $5 to DDoS a website (bypassing cloudflare included)
xslvrxslwt··on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues
Anyone that has $5.
xslvrxslwt··on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues
Because of 2018 operation "Power OFF" but it's still pretty easy to take anything down.

Hetzner has the WEAKEST DDoS protection out of ANYTHING out there - Arbor sucks.

Send me your website url and I'll keep it down for DAYS and whenever you cry to hetzner I'll just fry it again, it's that easy and that's why they're the cheapest - because everyone ran away from them back then.

xslvrxslwt··on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues
No but because all of us were arrested in 2018 for running DDoS-4-hire services. Bypassing cloudflare is very easy and I still can fry any of your websites (if i wanted to, just like any other skid)
xslvrxslwt··on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues
I was arrested by Interpol in 2018 because of warrants issued by the NCA, DOJ, FBI, J-CAT, and several other agencies, all due to my involvement in running a DDoS-for-hire website. Honestly, anyone can bypass Cloudflare, and anyone that want to take your website down - will take it down. It's just that luckily for all of us most of the DDoS-4-hire websites are down nowadays but there are still many botnets out there that will get past basically any protection and you can get access to them for basically $5.

xslvrxslwt··on iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max
It's not a chip but a sensor. The difference between 1/1.28'' and 1/1.14'' may not sound much but the whole tech of the IMX903 (double stacked CMOS for better light gathering, better video performance, cinematic mode) would make it way better. So it'd perform better at night (video especially), it'd have huger pixels & would allow Apple's 24mp mode to truly shine as it'd capture an amazing level of texture any time of the day, like this it just doesn't matter as much
xslvrxslwt··on iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max
I'm actually so furious about this. No, they did not put the IMX903 (ik this because microns they showed are still 1.22, not 1.4 of the imx903) - even though it was supposed to be in the 15PM. It's the exact same sensor, all they changed is the processing algorithms & new sensor shift OIS (v2). Nothing that 15PM couldn't have been if they bothered 1% (even now they could push an 'OTA' to turn 15PM into 99.97% 16PM (if they were a real company that is)). IMX903 would remove a need to upgrade the sensor for the next 3-4 years (coming from me, who is already using a phone with a way better 1'' sensor (lyt-900)) but no - they choose to do the same crap scamsung and goolag are doing, albeit iPhone sensors are currently way better as the Scamsung/Goolag are still on the old dogshit HP1 and HP2s from 2020/1 tech (yes, GNK is new but it's the same crap, basically a mix of HP1 and 2) so it's still in the era where Sony was unparalleled (now both Samsung and Omni are killing Sony with their latest sensors). And it's crazy how only Chinese phones are pushing new techs, literally if they had better QC and ideas they'd be 5 years ahead of crapple, scamsung and goolag - like this they're barely better. If Apple had my LYT-900 it'd be a murder scene.
xslvrxslwt··on Ultra Engine 0.9.6 Released
Apparently 10 times more performant than Unity/Leadwerks:

Quoting the dev: > I am sorry people are making fun of you just for asking for a game engine with good performance. I realized this was a big problem when I was working on VR projects for NASA, and saw how bad other the performance of other engine was. I created a new Vulkan-based game engine designed specifically to solve performance problems in real-time games, and the results turned out much better than I realized was possible. This is the website:[https://www.ultraengine.com/](https://www.ultraengine.com/)

Ultra Engine will run about 10x faster than Unity under heavy loads. You can try the benchmarks and see for yourself. Maybe it will help you. Good luck!

xslvrxslwt··on Senators push for unredacted 9/11 documents on Saudi Arabia
Why are y'all still talking about 9/11 as if the whole world (including brainwashed Americans) doesn't know the truth? Your literal senators are controlling countries (way off their limits), chill.

I'm so glad Intel is back in the game and at the leadership position at that. I feel so hyped for some odd reason..thanks Pet.
xslvrxslwt··on Pixel 8 to have seven years of Android updates
Reasonable? $89? You don't realize you're in 1% of the world 's richest there in the US right? I replaced my 5000mAh battery myself for $12.

I reassure you that my former schoolmate whose now a president of MNE (.me) country won't touch your @pm.me domain lol
xslvrxslwt··on Windows Update Restored: Fix Windows update on Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, and XP
I'm sorry but this is all but true. I've a 13700K and a 4090 and it's more reliable than 2 of my old hardware machines..this is slowly becoming a myth unfortunately as new versions of either DEs or desktop protocol (s) are slowly deprecating tons of stuff..

Absolutely lol, those people are amazing just spitting bs everywhere
xslvrxslwt··on Ask HN: Stock Android phone free of bloatware?
Everyone's talking about Pixels yet no one mentions how Pixels batteries are terrible and how 'their' Tensor G2 gets slaughtered by a $200 SD 7 device. Pixel is a big skip, camera clutches and NOTHING ELSE, software (ui/ux) looks and feels terrible.

Idk about Google but this website as a whole is so damn autistic, whoever the author is needs to be locked up in the room and tied to the bed for safety purposes.
xslvrxslwt··on Xiaomi has been in violation of GPL for years
What's the point in the bootloader if I can't get up-to-date kernels?
xslvrxslwt··on Xiaomi has been in violation of GPL for years
Actually, if you look at the custom ROM community, only my device had more than 50K official downloads from just the ArrowOS ROM 's website, and this device is actually more popular on the unofficial side so there's at least x3 more people on lineage and others ROMs - that's not a small amount of people (using arrowos as an example because they have telemetry)

So, me and many others are very angry about this and this is our first and last time getting a Xiaomi device

i.e. only the telegram update channels have 25k-65k subscribers per a single xiaomi device, let alone the whole XDA community

xslvrxslwt··on Xiaomi has been in violation of GPL for years
But they should "care" about public backslash, maybe if some tech YouTubers are willing to cover this topic..?

What one could possibly do about this? We submitted reports everywhere but even the GNU guys said they could do nothing about it — are licenses even worth anything or it's just a fancy marketing thing today?
