Sorry for really late reply.

You can practically use built-in RDP in IoT LTSC as I have tested on my qemu install.

I wish Free/Libre movement (as not to be limited only to FOSS and OSHW) to stay away from getting too political. Sure perhaps because their contributors mostly coming from westerner but lately things get piggybacked by nonsense stuffs (Debian wtf?). For truly Free/Libre there should be no border and everyone welcome to contribute instead of artificial reasoning because someone above them have to comply with this-that or whatever the heck the agenda are.

no u runs

Hey fellow opi 5 owner! iirc some ppl back then managed to run newer ubuntu rk3588 aswell but what makes me quit was the gpu support (Rockchip’s android image have better driver performance and linux neglected which sucks). Also saw that collabora and panfrost stuff but I moved back to x86 mini pc bcuz I need gpu stuff, thought to repurposing them as media server & emulator setup but didn’t worked with linux.

Owned orange pi 5 back then for college project, their NPU really packs a punch but sadly the good story ends there. After finished the project sold mine to friend who need them for computer vision and NN stuffs.

Excuse my ignorance on arm situation on Windows, but this felt like same situation with third party arm sbc like Orange Pis and rockchip… In Orange Pi 5 and rockship as soon as community develop some stuff on their own, the developer stop providing assistance and pretty much abandon software support and to this day RK3588s (the soc used on OPi 5 and several other sbc) haven’t got Vulkan support meanwhile Raspberry Pi 5 got its VK support 2 weeks after device public release which is shame for rockchip.

I wish Qualcomm competent enough to realise bringing software support boosts the hardware longevity as much as Apple did with their ecosystem which provide both software and hardware supports to make their chips runs at its maximum potential.

STALKER: New Vegas looks lit

I can see your point as I watch the show after everything released (late 2022).

imo the ending, last half of season 4 is justified. If you take the “Time machine” fan theory and in case of Elliot meeting himself to me it’s just happen inside his head like what happen at some moment in S1 and S2.

For split personalities/MPD, if you rewatch the show Sam Esmail definitely laid out everything from start ever since Season 1, that’s why rewatching the show especially on S1 some scenes make senses.

Watched this show back in late 2022. Avoided forums/online discussion so I can fully grasp the show on my own thoughts.

Maybe not everyone cup of tea but to me Mr. Robot.

At first sight you may thinking the show is about “individual” hacker taking down corporate but once you understand it has longer lasting effect especially when you relate/something similar with Elliot. The cinematography, the score is chef kiss👌🏻, Season 2 slow burns on the first half but worth to not miss them.

The magical thing is this show on rewatch make more sense and definitely Sam Esmail planned everything from get go on writing.

Among the best TV series I have seen.

Oh no, anyway. Glad I never touched their peripherals because they’re overpriced like Razer and other bigger companies.

clicking away with my knockoff OEM reliable gaming mouse

Imo software update for Mouse is not that necessarily crucial unless you had nasty bugs like Cooler Master during launching their mouse. My endgame mouse is MM712 and happy with that👍🏼

Also you can build your own mouse though iirc may be harder than building DIY keyboard (sc: built custom macropad for college project).

https://github.com/localsend/localsend

I used localsend on desktop, laptop and my phones to sync stuffs between OSes and phones. What I likes is that it support multiplatform out of the box and works flawlessly between Windows, Android and Linux distros (tried both on Ubuntu, and LM without problem). It’s just SHAREit without any stupid weird stuffs on it.

Early 2010s internet called, they want their vaporwave and nightcore edit back

og Counter Strike (1.6) available on native linux. It plays well even on toaster and lan play, we still have populated pub servers in South East Asia.

Another favourite of mine is og Doom 1 and Doom 2, if you want to modernize (and better mod support) the game, use gzdoom source port.

Woah, seeing Nova launcher name with enshittification makes me trip down memory lane.

I remember using one of these launcher apps on my Jelly Bean 2013 lenovo phone, Nova Launcher app being one of them that felt good to me, though as time passes and more I delve into rooting and custom roms, I just stick to whatever launcher is included in the rom or just use stock launcher. Maybe I’m becoming old timer that need “it just functions, simple, and no bs” guy. Been using stock launcher on android since 2016.

Hmm, pocketable mech keeb? 🤔

Pocketable IBM model F keyboard sounds rad for typist (no pun intended).

Sadly for that matter it is more to the legal area.

For identity they can catch you either from email or the payment info. For email you can make one easily, but for payment search a provider that accept virtual (credit) card, or get something that accept crypto wallet.

Yeah, online exposure can point you sooner or later depending how motivated the party that seek you.

Internet is really wide and open if you know direction :)

Even libgen (Library Genesis) still provide IRC as one of option to download ebook from their catalog.

FMHY and Internet Archive is a good entry point if you want to search anything.

I’ll explain it in layman’s terms…

• There is always a price (inconvenience) for secure-ness in online world.
• There’s 2 option to host a forum,
  1. You can use service like forum hoster or rent a VPS (so you can setup your own server although not self-hosting).
  2. Self-host yourself (this one a bit tricky if you aren’t prepared).
• Learn some good basic OpSec habit (eg. Never use same password, Never put your personal detail in your active directory especially on your site source document, use 2FA and so on).
• Learn to spot a phising or malicious link and never to randomly click random link in an email (in times when someone tried to social engineering you).
• Use reputable service provider if you are not going to self-host yourself.
• If you happen to self-host, make sure to check your open ports and secure them. Bots always probing any site in the world!
• For some reason if you’re going to run sketchy stuff, never use your real credential. This point may not apply on your region as it depends on your local law.

Maybe in my message seems to focus solely on discord for putting the blame… The problem nowadays is that mostly these “devs” share/upload/host their releases in Discord which means you do use Discord’s CDN to host their files. Another common complaint of these practices is that you need to join their server in order to just download relevant files which makes it infuriating if you stumbles across these practices often. For example I joined 8 different discord servers just to download a software/binary/release, why can’t just put the release on something like Mediafire, Google Drive, Megaupload or perhaps sourceforge.

I do understand Discord is communication platform but most of time some people are too lazy to manage stuff so what happen is that everything is hosted in single place as such Discord.
