> As far as I know, this is how CSGO runs on vulkan: valve did package the game with the DX(11?12?)->vulkan translater.

CSGO has a builtin DX to OpenGL translation layer. They're not using Proton or DXVK, it's Linux native OpenGL. Hopefuly we get Source 2 and native Vulkan sooner than later ..

It's blocked by default but my ISP lets me open it. But as noted by NavinF I'm not using it anyway.

The topic often comes up. Can't say I share the experience. My servers have never been put on a blacklist in the 7 years they've been running, and one of them operates from my residential DSL connection. Standard postfix+dovecot stack on an Archlinux VPS, I log in once a year to update the packages and make sure there is enough disk space left.

On default configs, what did the trick for me was disabling all telemetry, then restart Firefox. Works on Windows and Linux.

French Brittany, was sunbathing this morning at 10:00 at 15°C on the beach, with bees flying around. These are summer temperatures, and even in summer it's usually colder than that at this time of the day. Felt completely unreal.

This usually doesn't work because of HDCP, and you'd have to reencode the video stream, sacrificing quality. Removing DRMs is a lot cleaner.

At 6 cents/SMS, I find Twilio and similar services way too expensive. Compare that to the unlimited SMS plan that I can get for 2€/month here in France, and setting up a gateway like that becomes very attractive.

In my experience it's very unstable however. Sending and receiving SMS can take anywhere from 5 to 30 seconds, and the modem can't do both at the same time. I tried configuring gammu's timeouts, loop delays and whatnot, but couldn't get something that's reliable enough for production.

Yes, but those are all non problems for anyone remotely tech-savvy. The point is, DRMs are hurting paying customers and do not even make it more difficult for pirates: when you download a torrent, DRMs are already completely stripped, so the only people prevented from consuming DRM'd content are paying customers with non-HDCP compliant hardware. That's insane.

Ignoring cost, there's two things preventing me from watching content legally in acceptable quality: DRMs and connection speed.

The day streaming providers allow downloading high quality, DRM free video files to watch for later, I'll happily pay 3 bucks per movie.

As it stands, I can't play anything >720p because of DRMs. If you're willing to prevent paying customers from watching what they're paying for, just for the sake of reassuring your shareholders that you're combatting piracy (though failing miserably), then I have no remorse torrenting your content.

You can use a demultiplexer to turn e.g. 4 pins into 16 chip select. But the fact that the number of wires has to grow at all to accomodate additional devices is certainly a big downside compared to I2C, and for wired networks that basically makes it impossible to daisy chain devices.

And I'm currently working with the INA229, its SPI cousin I guess :) Those chips are really nice, I'm trying to use the alert feature as a configurable overcurrent trip protection, as well as overvoltage device protection.

What sucks the most about I2C for me is the fact that the bus can get stuck if the master device resets during a transmission. In which case the slave device will keep the SDA line busy while waiting indefinitely for clock pulses. Yes, you can probably send dummy clock pulses to finish the frame and get SDA released, but that's just a pain to code properly.

SPI is so much more reliable with just two extra pins, I usually don't even consider I2C anymore.

I find Wayland is great already for my usage, and has been for the last two years. If Xorg works for you and Wayland doesn't, that's perfectly fine too.

Sorry you're right. I thought parent was refering to accelerated drawing, not decoding. That said, for my use case, this is all I need on a work laptop. My desktop CPU doesn't break a sweat on software decoding, so I'm not too bothered.

There is in Firefox, but you have to force it via about:config because it's disabled by default.

Maybe he was refering to Panurge's sheeps .. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panurge)

I have a Zoe, the noise is soft and stops above 30 km/h. I can turn it off with a switch if I want to. I've already noticed people being surprised when I pass them without the noise, so I keep it activated.

I think it's a bit overkill to use a full Chromium runtime to display a black window with monospace text.

I was wondering if it was possible to sign emails on the mail server instead of configuring each client individually. Also annoying is the fact that some clients seem to alter the signature before sending the message, resulting in the utter destruction of my magnificent design. I have seen some tools like alterMIME but nothing specifically designed to insert signatures to the right place. Ideally some kind of milter for Postfix I guess.
