Sorry ,but have you basic understanding about software? Vulnerabilities is part of the experience, especially for such complex ones.

YggTorrent Shuts Down After Hack, Leak and Stolen Crypto in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[–] sonalder@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

The mafia that welcomed all the refiugees from T411. I am also pretty happy that this tracker is out of business in such a disasterous way. They had no principles and were greedy asf. I hope the best for the french speaking torrent community and the p2p empire.

How do you explain to your co-workers that you use Libre Office Writer and other Linux apps? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Most of the time I use MarkDown and export as PDF, if I need more complex layouts I'll use Libre Office

PlayStation May Be 'Backing Away From Putting Their Traditional Single-Player Games on PC' in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca
[–] sonalder@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You forgot to mention that it was ported years after its initial launch. Porting is way cheaper than developing especially nowadays where we have basically the same architecture in a dedicated DRM machine (console) than in a Personal Computer, it's basically a x86 APU running a proprietary fork of BSD (and Windows for xBox). It's not like back in the days where each machine (pc or console) had there own architectures that could radically differ. Also Game Engines have feature backed-in, Vulkan is universal (and better than DirectX (Microsoft) or OpenGL). Honestly I wouldn't be surprised that selling 3M copies on Steam alone at a 50% discount would still be a profitable porting.

Porting and developing are not my jobs DYOR.

"Game preservation only works if people care" As GOG doubles down on its commitment to saving old games, it's asking players "who give a s**t" to support its crusade in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] sonalder@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

DRM-free games is the main reason why I buy on GOG. Preservation is nice to have and donate to round up the price of purchase but I don't have money to become a patron. This feels important enough for me to care but not enough for me to put money every month in it. I'm glad people are doing it and that GOG exist.

The Hijacking of Bitcoin in c/bitcoin@lemmy.ml
[–] sonalder@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Read the white paper again, listen to old Andreas Antonopoulos and you'll understand that Bitcoin was never meant to be just p2p electronic cash. Also I can see from your instance that your in favor of the failed fork becash. I am not particullary a small blocker however I am strongly in favor of not having all my daily transactions recorded forever on a public database, this feels dumb to me. Bitcoin is not compromised, the world is.

What's the current state of intel Arc GPUs on GNU/Linux? Open Source Driver? OOTB experience? (lemmy.ml)

I'm currently using an AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT 16GB and I don't planned to change it any time soon. However I have a couple of friends that are entering PC gaming or upgrading their existing rigs and asks a couple of things to me their nerdy friendly PC gamer friends.

Of course they are pretty much all tired of the current Windows bloat, spy and flakyness so we're looking if their gaming habits and libraries would be a good match for Linux and Proton.

Considering that AMD are the best supported GPU for Linux Gaming and that NVidia is moving away from accessible pricing I was wondering if including Intel Arc would be a good or a bad idea for my proposals. I know it won't offer the PC MASTER RACE experience but honestly who cares. My friend just wants a cheap but reliable gaming PC to play casually at 1440p or maybe even staying at 1080p. If intel won't suit I will probably recommend second hand AMD Radeon to fit their budget.

Anyone here have tried some Intel Arc gaming on Linux? What was your experience? Any issues I should be aware? Recommendation? What distro have the best out-of-the-box experience?

Thanks

Edit: LinusTechTips recently released a video on the different GPU brands for linux gaming including Intel Arc B580 12GB

Surveillance des télécommunications et entreprises obligées de collaborer : ouverture d’une consultation (www.admin.ch)
 

La surveillance des télécommunications ne peut fonctionner sans la collaboration des entreprises de la branche. La loi sur la surveillance de la correspondance par poste et télécommunication (LSCPT) prévoit différentes obligations selon le type de services que les entreprises proposent et elle classe les personnes obligées de collaborer dans différentes catégories. La compétence d'imposer des obligations supplémentaires ou d'accorder des dispenses pour certaines d'entre elles revient au Conseil fédéral, qui fixe les critères à ces fins.

L'ordonnance sur la surveillance de la correspondance par poste et télécommunication (OSCPT) classe les fournisseurs de services de télécommunication (FST) dans deux sous-catégories : les FST ayant des obligations complètes et les FST ayant des obligations restreintes. Les fournisseurs de services de communication dérivés (FSCD), quant à eux, sont désormais rangés dans trois sous-catégories, selon le niveau de leurs obligations, qui peuvent être minimales, restreintes ou complètes. Ces distinctions doivent permettre une gradation plus équilibrée des obligations et un rapprochement entre les FST et les FSCD de taille et d'importance économique comparables. Un FSCD ayant des obligations complètes doit réaliser au moins cent millions de francs de chiffre d'affaires et/ou avoir plus d'un million d'utilisateurs. Nouveaux types de renseignements - suppression des chiffrements

Trois types de renseignements et deux types de surveillance sont par ailleurs créés à la faveur de cette révision. L'objectif est d'une part de standardiser certains renseignements et surveillances rétroactives servant à l'identification d'utilisateurs et qui étaient jusqu'ici traités comme des cas spéciaux et, d'autre part, de créer la possibilité de ne surveiller qu'une partie des données de contenus lors de surveillances en temps réel.

Un nouveau type de renseignements permet la constitution d'intersections des résultats de l'identification des utilisateurs de deux connexions internet ou davantage. Les autres concernent la livraison d'indications sur le dernier accès à un service de courrier électronique ou à un autre service de télécommunication ou service de communication dérivé.

Un nouveau type de surveillance a pour objet la surveillance en temps réel de données secondaires et du contenu tronqué de services d'accès au réseau, tandis qu'un autre est prévu pour la surveillance rétroactive aux fins de l'identification des utilisateurs de connexions à l'internet.

L'OSCPT précise par ailleurs l'obligation légale pour les fournisseurs de supprimer les chiffrements qu'ils ont opérés. Cette obligation concerne tous les fournisseurs (FST et FSCD) ayant des obligations restreintes ou complètes. Les chiffrements de bout en bout - par exemple dans les services de messagerie - ne sont explicitement pas concernés.

Certaines dispositions de l'ordonnance du DFJP sur la mise en œuvre de la surveillance de la correspondance par poste et télécommunication (OME-SCPT) doivent également être modifiées. Les délais de traitement doivent ainsi être adaptés pour prendre en compte les nouveaux types de renseignements dans l'OSCPT. Pour le reste, les modifications sont d'ordre rédactionnel.

La consultation dure jusqu'au 6 mai 2025.

A clean Android setup with the best apps (mostly open source) (alternativeto.net)
 

I tried to make a list on AlternativeTo that has all the apps you ever needs. I tried to avoid services and stick with apps, however there is a few services like Cloud-sync Notes, Password manager, E-mail aliases and a few others. I tried to stick with Free (as in free beer) Apps and when there is great options Free (as in Freedom) and open source.

Do you have any recommandations so I can improve that list without bloating it too much ?

Some apps downloaded from AuroraStore are asking me to link my Google account on my device which I don't want (lemmy.ml)
 

I don't use Google account on most of my devices. I have an older phone on LineageOS 22.1 that I use mainly to test apps. It has GApps installed but I never sign in. I have faced a couple apps that on startup are launching the PlayStore app and ask me to sign in, I guess for "security". Is there a way to bypass that ? I don't want to link my Google profile and would love to use this app offline like I should.

Is this something that could be done with LuckyPatcher ? Is there easier methods ?

Audio stuttering on many Proton games ChimeraOS that had no issue before. (lemmy.ml)
 

I have been using ChimeraOS on my living room PC and it has worked well most of the time without issues. Recently I had audio stuttering on a new game and fixed it by using an older Proton build. But then I started a game that I have played many hours on this machine without any issue and suddenly had audio stuttering again on this title that previously had no audio issue with. Then I realized it is a problem with most of my library... This is really annoying for some title.

Anyone experienced something similar recently ? I have updated ChimeraOS twice since and updated the Proton Experimental build etc... Don't know if it is related to Proton, to a driver, to Chimera... How could I debug this ?

Is there any other reddit client forking for lemmy ? (lemmy.ml)
 

Would like to see open source client such as Infinity, Stealth, RedReader, etc... going to lemmy.

The best case scenario would be all reddit client including Apollo, Boost, etc... supporting the transition to lemmy but this is quite unlikely unfortunately...

Make SimpleMobileTools considering XMR for donations ! (github.com)
 

SimpleMobileTools are making simple yet great open source android apps. No ads, no trackers, cheap price or even free. I personnaly love Simple Gallery Pro and have a lot of respect for the devs, I would like to donate since they accept cryptos... unfortunately only BTC, ETH and LTC. Let them heard of the benefits of Monero so I (and maybe you) could donate to them for their work !

What's the best way for a commerce to accept XMR but getting paid in fiat currency ? (lemmy.ml)
 

I recently discover NowPayments which looks like a cool services but does not suit well with a Monero mindset. I understand that it will have some compromises for using a service like that no matter how serious the ones running it are. I was just wondering if their was a simple way for a commerce to be paid in euro/dollar or whatever currency is prefered and that the customer uses XMR without comprimising any information on his/her side.
