x3i, (edited ) to piracy in Pirated video games SOURCE CODE

Well, source code is not sth that you “crack”, you can only reverse engineer it (I think it was done with Doom, also OpenRA) or steal it from the company’s servers. The use for it is also rather niche, so the risk vs gains ratio is not attractive enough to feed dedicated websites. You can also look at fully open source games like 0AD and check out what they did!

Edit: I stand corrected (thrice); Doom was indeed open-sourced, not reverse engineered. Thanks for pointing out!

x3i, (edited ) to linux in Enabling Bluetooth on Arch Linux

This is one of the reasons why I am very unsure about the whole archinstall thing. On the one hand, it lowers the barrier of entry for less techy people, which is always good. On the other hand, it allows for installing the OS without ever having to use the archwiki, which leads to people making a blog post like this that could be solved by looking for “bluetooth” in the archwiki and following the instructions. To somebody not familiar with the OS, this makes it seem like arch is much more complicated than it actually is. “To run arch, you have to hope that there is a blog post or youtube video for simple things like bluetooth!”

No, you simply go here: wiki.archlinux.org(Also very useful resource if you are on any other distro btw)

x3i, to linux in What is the state of Multiseat in Linux today?

Let me raise a side concern here since the core questions already seems to be answered; reconsider the Nvidia GPUs. Depending on what you do, you might encounter significant shortcomings at the moment since they do not play perfectly with Wayland yet (which is clearly the future). So do some research in this direction first before you pull the trigger.

x3i, to linux in The Distro Wars are good actually.?

Always reminds me of the console wars… people attach their whole identity to all kinds of things nowadays and fight for it like it was a religion. Did not see much good come out of such threads yet.

x3i, (edited ) to linux in Alright, I'm gonna "take one for the team" -- what is with the "downvote-happy" users lately?

“Do folks in here are really that needy of self-validation, even if it means seeking such from something completely insignificant like internet points?”

But… is that not exactly the description of somebody who complains about downvotes?? As said by others; they should be considered exactly as valid as upvotes. If you feel like they prohibit you from voicing an opinion, I personally feel like that is a you-problem. Ask yourself of the content you posted is crap, if you feel it is not, simply ignore the downvotes and move on, they are just pixels.

Edit: I checked your posts, most downvoted ones seem to be clickbaity or images that you posted to the linux community. This is not something that vibes with that type of community, I would have downvoted that too. The ones on your technical questions seem unjustified however. Posting a code snippet asking people to execute it… I think that crap should even have been deleted by mods.

x3i, to piracy in The Daily Show: Introducing Price+

So you are tryimg to tell me that the operating costs of the CDN are the big reason they need money, not the fact they throw billions at crappy content productions? And that the little performance you would gain by stripping k8s would make a difference, especially wrt the huge additional administration effort and lack of automation this would introduce? Nah man, sorry but you are wrong here in many ways.

1080 is totally sufficient, I’ll look into this, thanks!

x3i, to linux in ISC DHCP Client and Relay End of Maintenance

Okay, fair point, so it is relevant for a current issue

x3i, (edited ) to piracy in [Question] Tailscale to avoid Netflix TV restrictions?

I’m not very familiar woth Tailscale but the procedure should be as simple as making sure all the traffic runs through the same exit node. Be aware that this might severely strain the upload of that exit node device bit from a technical point of view, it should work. Wait for someone that actually uses Tailscale to respond with details :) Edit: are you running tailscale on the machine that accesses netflix or on a router?

x3i, to piracy in Pirated video games SOURCE CODE

Correct. However, this looks like a direction that language processing and GPTs would excel in and to my knowledge, there already have been some ML addons made for certain RE tools, so this might become more easy in the future. If that is necessarily a good thing is a different story…

x3i, to piracy in Ripping Amazon movies

Okay, so OBS looks like the only feasible route then, thanks!

x3i, to piracy in Ripping Amazon movies

They are from the 90s, so DVD would be my plan B. However, that would take significant effort to hunt down, so I wanted to check other options first

This article is from July 2021. Why exactly are you sharing this?

x3i, to linux in Linux on a 2in1 for Uni

Running an HP Elite x360 1030 G2 since 2018 and an Elite Dragonfly since last year, both on Arch linux and Sway (recently Hyprland) with full touch and pen support. Can recommend both!

x3i, to piracy in Ripping Amazon movies

True but considering the costs, I would rather just buy the movies on DVD and rip them
