BxGyw2··on Show HN: Pls Fix – Hire big tech employees to appeal account suspensions
100% agree. Would never take money for something like this feels irresponsible. But it is a reaction to a very real problem that everyday people have all the time, and the comments all being "omg im sooo angry u deserve to be fired" instead of something useful is sad

BxGyw2··on Install Windows the Arch Linux Way
Just the other night I was looking at the way a Windows 10 install wrote the EFI partition to some random disk it was not installed on at all, and wishing for this, the GUI installer just does ridiculous shit and is really not up to par with even some no name Linux distro's Calamares. I have no idea why people buy this shit, it's Microsoft's luck that it comes preinstalled and most users never touch it

Yeah I agree mate the brand new account should be accusing OP of advertising a software that is already well known and widespread

Actually there are a lot of black supremacists etc, people who absolutely hate me and want my whole race to die and I'll still listen to their podcasts and stuff just because it's something interesting. People who aren't scared to be labelled extreme are usually saying the interesting stuff that needs to be said. You should stop taking everything so serious and just go with the flow

BxGyw2··on Ask HN: Did anyone else lose their marbles?
Why?
BxGyw2··on Ask HN: Did anyone else lose their marbles?
It's tough hey - I'm in the exact situation you're in right now - got my resume open on the other screen. I think it's important to always remember (jobs, relationships, any situation really) that although it can be hard to see outside your own situation the world is inconceivably large and numerically it's super unlikely that you can't find a day job equal or better than the one you're in. Good luck with the hunt dude

Something that helped me with this is reading and realising that spirituality / faith is not necessarily the crazy people knocking at your door with a moral code to sell and can be grounded in reality and lived experience ;)

Every time I've felt like this it's been time for a change of responsibilities. Are you stagnant?

I'm sorry if this is autistically inappropriate but what was the book?
BxGyw2··on Ask HN: Did anyone else lose their marbles?
Stimulants, and in particular sleep deprivation from stims (not implying that was you, it's just a common pattern), compounds delusions really hard. Make sure if you continue to take stims you eat good, sleep a lot & drink a healthy amount of water

Stress induced psychosis maybe? Were you using any chemicals? Feel like I understand the need to escape to the woods but not so sure about the fossils thing. Hope you are doing better now mate
BxGyw2··on Fun Fact: I own porn I can't watch
I understand what you're getting at but the behaviour is just neurotic and childish in general. That thread you just linked is about 30 straight tweets of insane, near incoherent topic switching rambling about a situation this person has created themselves by caring about what pronouns a stranger calls them.
BxGyw2··on Grand Theft Auto V exploit assigned CVE number due to partial RCE
VAC has a number of other triggers too but doesn't care about VMs in particular. I think everyone and their dog is an expert in not tripping VAC at this point

It's mostly those annoying ACs with kernel modules like EAC, BattlEye, ESEA etc. that do anti VM in an attempt to prevent cheat devs from 1. debugging the AC without at least a little effort and 2. having a clean OS but reading guest RAM from the host to avoid the anticheat entirely

BxGyw2··on Grand Theft Auto V exploit assigned CVE number due to partial RCE
Depends on the game. The answer for me is I'm not really interested in flavour of the month online shooter games so it's never been an issue but I know plenty of people who are and just continue to modify their VM until it's not detected - it's always gonna be something you can do to hide from the AC
BxGyw2··on Grand Theft Auto V exploit assigned CVE number due to partial RCE
Not gonna lie and pretend I know how it works but qemu is capable of passing USB devices into VMs while they are connected and visible to the host kernel, and this works perfectly for me for joysticks, steering wheels and other shit

For mouse and keyboard I just use the evdev forwarding thing where you press both ctrl keys to swap between host and guest

BxGyw2··on Grand Theft Auto V exploit assigned CVE number due to partial RCE
Source Engine CVE-2021-30481

There's actually been a lot more of these that don't get CVEs It's one of the reasons I prefer to game in a VM with heavy network filtering and egress only through VPN

There is little to no care from game developers about security, games with actively exploitable RCEs (see pretty much the whole CoD franchise) are just allowed to stay up on Steam

Gamers are also kinda dumb and oblivious to RATs etc which doesn't help

BxGyw2··on Should notes be end-to-end encrypted?
Yeah. It's called a web server and it's been around for ages, try it out some time
