jekwoooooe··on Define policy forbidding use of AI code generators
When will people give up this archaic practice of sending patches over emails?
jekwoooooe··on Getting ready to issue IP address certificates
No and it shouldn’t. You can just run a proxy with a real domain and a real cert and then use dns rewrites to point that domain to a local host

For example you can use nginx manager if you want a ui and adguard for dns. Set your router to use adguard as the exclusive dns. Add a rewrite rule for your domain to point to the proxy. Register the domain and get a real cert. problem solved

All of my local services use https

jekwoooooe··on HDMI 2.2 will support 16K video at 60Hz
The resolution is now a marketing tactic. People don’t understand how high fidelity 4k is because they get 10mbps Faux K streams on Netflix. They cannot conceptualize watching a 4k UHD rip on a 160” screen.
jekwoooooe··on Nvidia's RTX 5050 GPU starts at $249 with last-gen GDDR6 VRAM
Well maybe I’m just spoiled by my 4090 then I never go under 100 anywhere let alone 60
jekwoooooe··on HDMI 2.2 will support 16K video at 60Hz
“Only” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. The pc market is a tiny minority of customers. Most of the real volume is sadly just a soundbar plus a tv plus some device like Apple TV. The majority of the market by dollar is ultra high end setups which absolutely depend on hdmi. Not for cec which fails miserably with more than one device in the chain but because the AV devices only support hdmi. I wish they had DP but the anti consumer licensing does not allow it.
jekwoooooe··on HDMI 2.2 will support 16K video at 60Hz
No the real answer is TV manufacturers are not allowed to use DP per their licensing. I’m not sure DP supports the media features hdmi does like CEC
jekwoooooe··on HDMI 2.2 will support 16K video at 60Hz
I look forward to seeing this in consumer devices in 2040 plus the usual fiasco of defective AVR chips for the first generation.

Are 90% of features still optional? You can be hdmi 2.1 compliant without VRR, QMS, etc.

Thanks I will look into this
jekwoooooe··on Berkshire Hathaway Now Pays 5% of All Corporate Income Taxes in America
And Amazon pays 0%
jekwoooooe··on Ancient X11 scaling technology
Nope I can output 4k just fine. That’s not the issue. The issue is I want a 2.35:1 aspect resolution. I can do this on windows and nvidia but not on Linux (steam deck, intel nuc, etc)

jekwoooooe··on Ancient X11 scaling technology
It’s astounding to me that in Linux, in 2025, I can’t just simply output a custom resolution. You are probably typing a response right now with some xrandr nonsense and I PROMISE you, it won’t do it. I can’t even scale my screen within a normal resolution to make it fit within a boundary. But I can do this in windows with an nvidis gpu. Crazy

Why is there so much hate against fake frames? I know you can’t tell the difference
jekwoooooe··on XBOW, an autonomous penetration tester, has reached the top spot on HackerOne
They should ban this or else they will get swallowed up and companies will stop working with them. The last thing I want is a bunch of llm slop sent to me faster than a human would
jekwoooooe··on The NO FAKES act has changed, and it's worse
“ No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.”

Seems pretty clear to me man

jekwoooooe··on The NO FAKES act has changed, and it's worse
No it’s not. It would just remove protections of 230. That means HN can’t hide behind 230 if they don’t action on illegal content (and that doesn’t seem to be a problem)

Anything else is just a slippery slope fallacy

jekwoooooe··on The NO FAKES act has changed, and it's worse
Talking freely and Reddit don’t belong in the same sentence. Go say something that goes against the zeitgeist. It doesn’t have to be political go express support for the wrong celebrity or cause or opinion on shoes even. It’s a cesspool of brainwashing and propaganda.
jekwoooooe··on Writing toy software is a joy
I agree. It’s fun to just write code to solve problems or even for fun. I love go (it’s the best all around language and it’s not even close) so for fun I wrote a game engine and a small game that I might try to turn into an actual game. It’s good to keep fresh. I’ve also tried to do llm free days
jekwoooooe··on Fedora Linux devs discuss dropping 32-bit packages – bad news for Steam gamers
It’s time to rip off the bandaid and force everyone to get on the bandwagon. What’s a single reason to keep 32 bit packages? It’s dragging Linux down in general to have such zealotry about compatibility with things built in 1994
jekwoooooe··on Hawaii Highways
“Works” as in the page loads, sure. That’s not a good metric
jekwoooooe··on Hawaii Highways
Nonresponsive, low contrast, and unusable on mobile so not really. This is very 1999 design

jekwoooooe··on Klein Bottle Amazon Brand Hijacking (2021)
I would barely trust Amazon for authentic shampoo never mind vitamins. Are people so desperate to save single dollars they gamble with their health?
jekwoooooe··on Plastic bag bans and fees reduce harmful bag litter on shorelines
I’m not trolling I care about the environment. Cotton bags are just a form of moral licensing and predatory ways to get more income. Same with plastic straws.
jekwoooooe··on Plastic bag bans and fees reduce harmful bag litter on shorelines
You expect people to keep these bags for 3 years? No way
jekwoooooe··on Plastic bag bans and fees reduce harmful bag litter on shorelines
And instead we kill a lot more trees and plants to make expensive cotton or polyester bags that are much worse for the environment as a whole. It’s typical left leaning feel good logic instead of actually improving something. Not to mention the inconvenience
jekwoooooe··on YouTube's new anti-adblock measures
It’s not “freely available” it’s available with ads. You are just circumventing the ads which is akin to piracy. I’m not making a moral judgement but at least be honest about it. You are trying to consume nonfree content without paying anything
jekwoooooe··on YouTube's new anti-adblock measures
I pay for YouTube premium. Surely everyone here can too. This stuff isn’t free so either deal with ads or pay for premium
jekwoooooe··on Meta announces Oakley smart glasses
Yes! Your 10$ and 600$ are made in the same place by the same company with largely the same materials.

I discovered goodr recently and they are great. 25$ high quality sunglasses that I can actually trust have real UV ratings. Seeing people wear ray bans or oakleys is really funny
