The biggest step you can take is making sure that you are hosting the repo anonymously, and that it can not be linked to you (or anyone), so they can’t go after you.

Github probably isn’t a good place for that, but I don’t know if anonymous alternatives exist.

You can just host your own decentralized instance, right?

Right?

I was toying around with an idea for a VCS that uses LLM as a compression method, where during pushes it just asks an LLM to describe what your diff contains (what changes it makes to what files), you push that summary to the origin, and when you pull it just plops that into another llm to reconstruct the files or make the file changes.

If it wasn’t such a waste of energy, I’d find that a pretty funny random side project. Would love to see the results.

This, the internet is already filled with AI slop articles that by now make majority of what’s posted here, and adding “OMG LOOK AT WHAT AI SAID” posts makes it even worse, and it’s pretty difficult to make a blocking filter for.

Don’t they already have your ID/details, assuming you paid them with your credit card?

That’s rich, coming from a company that got caught with .cursor file in their public repo.

Is it working for you now? I didn’t have any issues for the past few months, but they changed their anticheat to denuvo in a yesterday’s patch (or rather, do a technical test for later rollout), and I’m getting security violations now.

Haha, “backlash”. Yeah, sure.

People don’t give a shit, they will forget that it’s happening once news articles move to a different flavor of the week topics.

And the people that get into a choice of “prove with a photo/Id you are old enough or you can’t watch this video” will just begrudgingly comply and never think about it again.

KryptEY, an android keyboard that adds PGP encryption into any chat provider.

So, once ChatControl passes, this will be the only way how to keep your chats private. So, you’ll be able to send PGP encrypted messages through messanger/instagram/discord/whatever.

It has some issues, no group chats, but once chatcontrol passes, this will be the only private way.

As soneone who does 3rd party Red Teamings, I’m looking forward to it. That recall file is going to be a goldmine for our engagements, which are getting harder and harder thanks to EDRs and general advancements in the field.

True, I forgot that in asymetric crypto, you can simply send a meta/service message “give public key or install extension”, and that should work in most cases.

Although, the main threat profile is Chatcontrol, and that could be MITMd by the chat provider, if the extension would get popular enough.

I wonder if there is a way how to establish keys over public chat provider, if the provider has active interrest in breaking your encryption.

I was thinking about similar concept - E2E encrypted chat, but build on top of other existing services, through a Browser extension and PGP. The extension would just handle message encryption and decryption with PGP, and the rest can be sent through Messenger infrastructure, or anything like that.

The only issue is key exchange.

How do you handle secure key exchange in this case?

I’ll probably stop using as much as I can.

Research VPNs, more importantly get up to date about stuff like Snowflake, to have a backup once VPNs are illegal.

I’ll probably look into getting a residential VPN from somewhere where the verification isn’t required, for as long as it will be feasible.

Get back to pirating music and all the other content they won’t let me access.

Is it a problem anymore with proton?

Or rather – is testing the game on Linux via proton sufficient, or do you actually look for native Linux builds?

I’m honestly interested as a dev who recently released my game I worked on free time, and I decide to go the route of single Windows build + proton, since it makes the build and release process a little bit easier, since I have a custom CI/CD pipeline and adding a Linux support into it would take some time.

And as someone who has a Linux as a daily driver and game only on Linux, having the game run on it was important to me, but I honestly didn’t see a reason why go with a native build and the additional trouble it would cause with testing - because now I can just test one windows build on my Linux desktop through proton, and be fairly sure that it runs OK on both.

Is Hypraland the one with the extremely homophobic and toxic community/creator? I remember looking up their discord and he was spewing vile homophobic stuff and people who didn’t like that were getting muted.

And there was something about free desktop banning it?

Looks like it is. https://drewdevault.com/2023/09/17/Hyprland-toxicity.html

Maybe because of Nozi? Would be a weird filter.

Just a side note - while the original comment wasn’t directly speaking about this, and something like this requires way more precise instruments amd can’t be done just from your total energy consumption, it is kind of possible to in theory decode/steal data from your PC based on it’s pwer consumption, such as stealing private cryptography keys.

It’s mostly theoretical and very specific attack, but I find things like that super cool so I kist wanted to share them. The whole area of Side channel attacks is cool.

That was probably the dramma about Fedora ending support of 32b libraries, which Steam heavily relies on and won’t easily work without.

It’s still being discussed, and even if they go through with it (which is a PR suicide for Fedora), it won’t be earlier than in two years.

Isn’t Aurora still Fedora? Then it probably wouldn’t solve the issue with gaming on Fedora being made so difficult to set up, that it forced one of the more popular distros to shut down.

Bazzite is a gaming focused distro, so I wager that that would be a major problem for a lot of people.

The only choice for a lot of gamers (including me) will simply be to not use Fedora, and find a new distro to switch to, which is a shame. (Although, it will probably just be SteamOS at that point). I’m also worried about my Lenovo Legion Go. It’s unusable with Windows, and Bazzite being atomic is a really really good fit for it, and they have builds specially tailored for Legion.

But we still have two years to go, so we’ll see. I don’t think Fedora has the power and market share to force others to follow with depreciation of 32b, and unless other distros join in, it will just be a PR disaster and people will just begrudgingly move to other distros.

I also really recommend EmuVR, it’s a frontend for Retroarch, that is the most archetypal 80s room in VR, with CRT tvs, your roms as physical disk or cartriges, and each core has it’s physical model you plug into the TV, plop yourself down in front of it, and can play. It makes the experience way, way better than playing on an LCD or a phone, and it’s my favorite VR experience I found so far.
