redcalcium, to linux in NVIDIA Linux Driver Adds Wayland Bug Fixes and Improvements

My desktop would crash back to login screen after playing mass effect legendary edition. After exiting the game, if the desktop idle for a while, the moment the automatic screen off kick in, the CPU fan would whirl and if I wiggle the mouse, the desktop would immediately crash back to the login screen. Not sure whose fault it is, nvidia 545, EA, wayland or gnome.

This might work:

  • install an x server app in your phone (e.g. XSDL) and start it
  • install Termux from f-droid (the one in play store hasn’t been updated due to changes in play store policy that prevents Termux package manager from working)
  • in Termux, run something like DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0 ssh -Y user@hostname
redcalcium, to piracy in Ubuntu server can't connect to some sites when qbittorrent is running

Have you verified that this is not a DNS issue? For example, is curl http://1.1.1.1 working, while curl http://ip.me not working?

What’s with the US funding resistance groups only to have those groups turn their back on US when they finally got in power?

US in that time period is pretty wild! They have:

  • restaurants where you dine in your parked car
  • movie theaters where you watch movies in your parked car
  • camping grounds where you sleep in your parked car

What else do I miss? Was there any other popular activities done in parked cars?

redcalcium, to piracy in I had no idea that you could download movies from the 90ies from archive.org

Any random internet users can create an account and upload stuff to the internet archive. Just be careful when you download softwares there.

Why make coleslaw when you can deep fried (or air fried) the cabbage. Less effort and tastier result.

redcalcium, to memes in 2 genders

My language is not gendered, so yes, writers do have to work harder when they want to imply gender without explicitly mentioning the gender in their writing. But it also makes concealing a character’s gender easier to make it harder to guess the plot.

redcalcium, to piracy in RANT: I hate the fact that my ISP can restrict access to certain sites

Hmm, kinda doubt it’s the DoH provider’s fault (cloudflare). On the other hand, my ISP already transparently redirecting plain DNS requests to their own DNS server, so it’s not a stretch to think they found a way to degrade DoH experience (at least for well known endpoint like 1.1.1.1).

redcalcium, to linux in I bought a Surface Pro 4 - Update

Two hours to power on? Did I read this right? What happen during this long power up sequence? Is it stuck on POST, bootloader or kernel load?

Shenanigan like this was one of the main driving force to push website operators to use https by default. The other driving forces are the computational cost of serving https got significantly cheaper thanks to modern CPU with accelerated cryptography instructions support, and letsencrypt providing free TLS certificate to everyone.

redcalcium, to piracy in RANT: I hate the fact that my ISP can restrict access to certain sites

Before Wikipedia default to https, I remember being surprised seeing ads in a Wikipedia page. I was so disappointed that Wikipedia has stoop so low before eventually realizing my cursed ISP was the real culprit.

redcalcium, to piracy in RANT: I hate the fact that my ISP can restrict access to certain sites

It’s still require DoH, right? Not sure what my ISP does, but DoH has very high latency and often timeout on my end, probably to discourage their customers to turn on DoH.
