As a DNS engineer - do you own a shirt with the slogan “It’s always DNS.” on it?

In my homelab I have Debian VMs originally set up with Debian 6 in 2011 which were upgraded another 6 major releases to now Debian 12 over the years. When I think about Debian I always get a very warm cozy feeling.

Since it has to happen in windows safe mode it seems to be very hard to automate the process. I haven’t seen a solution yet.

It is annoying. Some possible solutions:

On desktop: Using Shift + ALT you often can overrule this and select text anyway.

On mobile: Using the reader mode or the Print preview often works. It does for me on this website.

If he never played the original I think it’s good he starts with it. Black Mess is great, but the original Half Life has a certain historical value (and is still a great game).

Ich bin inzwischen umgezogen. Habe nen Moment erwischt wo wie Seite mal kurz funktionierte und dann die Export-Funktion in den settings genutzt.

Ich finde es klasse, das Leute bereit sind in ihrer freien Zeit mit eigenem Geld sowas wie feddit zu betreiben. Aber dann kann man halt nicht gleichzeitig nen halbes Jahr weg und unerreichbar sein. Das passt halt nicht zusammen. Man muss zumindest vorher klären, wer übernehmen könnte.

So ist es vermutlich ziemlich schädlich für die deutsche Fediverse Community. Der erste Eindruck und so.

YouTube makes its money with ads. The more videos a user can watch the more ads YouTube can deliver to the user. Close to 90% (!!!) of all YouTube traffic comes from mobile devices. Therefore it is in YouTubes own interest to allow its users to watch as many videos as possible.

You can be sure that big CDNs will still provide hw-decodeable streams to mobile devices, despite google now offering a performant software decoder on Android. For the same reason twitch not only introduced AV1, but at the same time HEVC as new codec (since HEVC now has broad hw-decode support among mobile devices, unlike AV1).

Funfact: YouTube’s AV1 streams are often considerably larger than the VP9 variant. They are not opting for bandwidth savings currently.

The integration of software decoding is mainly meant as a fallback. As AV1 will become more widespread you will run into cases where there will only be an AV1 encoded version of a video. Not on big platforms like YouTube, but smaller sites. Think the embedded clip in a Wordpress blog or something like that.

Having said that, dav1d is a very very performant software decoder and its impact on battery life is often negligent for the average user.
