Yeah, sweet seventeen by Chuck Berry also hits ... as at the very least, creepy in 2024.

Hard pass since EAC is kernel level.

That's kind of the point of my comment... Like, can Valve do something better than EasyAnticheat that can really compete with it without resorting to their same methodology. It would be great to move past kernel anticheat to things that (hopefully) work better without requiring (that much) additional effort.

There was an article a month or so ago mentioning valve was training AI models to detect cheating with VAC

That does sound interesting.

I wonder what VacNet 3.0 is. Is it just "we added macro detection" or is it more?

It would be great to see Valve come out with something that's a better offering than EasyAnticheat and the like.

That's fair, I did just check my Rocky Linux install and it does indeed use LVM.

So much stuff in this space has moved to hosted/cloud I didn't think about that.

The bird site was great in the early days when it was a bunch of micro blogs. It was basically freely hosted short form RSS feeds. I could keep track of so many things so easily from all my devices.

When the focus changed to more of a "town square" rather than just "hey I/we did this thing and you should know about it in 255 characters or less!" that's when it became a mess.

Musk took a useful platform, failed to see it for what it is at its best, and elevated what made it its worst (gossip, rage baiting, berating, false information, and sensitizationalized content lacking nuance or substance). To be clear, that transition predates Musk and was driven more by users than Twitter the company, but Musk accelerated it (this is fundamentally visible in moves like monetizing the API which prevented Twitter ingesting and outputting various feeds for a large number of use cases).

Votes already are public to all server admins (I can see exactly what you voted for in communities my instance knows about).

Did your friend borrow your Lenny account to shame you for not learning to Google things?

I haven't seen LVM in any recent Fedora (very high confidence), Debian (high confidence), or OpenSUSE (fairly confident) installations (just using the default options) on any system that's using GPT partition tables.

For RAID, I've only ever seen mdadm or ZFS (though I see LVM is an option for doing this as well per the arch wiki). Snapshotting I normally see done either at the file system level with something like rsnapshot, kopia, restic, etc or using a file system that supports snapshots like btrfs or ZFS.

If you're still using MBR and/or completely disabling EFI via the "legacy boot loader" option or similar, then yeah they will use LVM ... but I wouldn't say that's the norm.

Go for it, use a personal anecdote if you have one about how you or someone you know was bit by not putting blocks in front of the wheels.

If you don't have one... make up a white lie about how your now deceased great uncle Johnny told you he left a trailer out without blocks on a little slope like that and it rolled into the street.

The anecdotes / a story can be a ... easier path to selling the truth that can feel a bit more humbled vs "I know better than you, so do what I say."

So I fixed this by using clonezilla (which seemed to fix things up automatically), but for my edification, how do you get the UUID of the device itself? The only UUIDs I was seeing seemingly were the partition UUIDs.

There wasn't any LVM involved, it's AFAIK pretty rare outside of MBR installs (as GPT typically lets you have more than enough partitions).

 

New teaser video released ... I really hope we're getting a moving train on the new map (or perhaps one of the existing maps?)!

 

I mostly play the traditional bounty hunt mode. I enjoy it quite a bit, I have over 700 hours in the game, I tend to play in 3-4 star lobbies with friends, and have a ~1.3 KDR.

Soul Survivor on the other hand I've always struggled with. I tend to either get the wellspring and die before the timer runs out or get into a shootout that I just don't have what I need to win before that happens. I've yet to actually win a single game of soul survivor in probably a couple dozen tries.

My Soul Survivor KDR is like ... 0.4. I'm wondering if that's mostly down to the lack of match making? Or just, IDK, does anyone have any advice or experience they want to share about Soul Survivor?

 

It looks like we'll be getting CSGO-style weapon inspection soon!

 

Hi folks,

I was wondering what people's thoughts are on the state of font rendering on Linux and if there are any important settings/packages I might not be aware of.

I've never been particularly font sensitive. So despite being a long time user at this point... I'm still a Linux fonts noob. However, I know a lot of people are big into fonts.

I recently installed Debian KDE as a desktop for my father. He likes it, but he wasn't crazy about the fonts. We turned the normal subpixel rendering on in KDE Font settings, but some pages definitely had blocky looking fonts (e.g. the Yahoo home page my dad still uses 🙃).

Any tips? The documentation in this area seems to be lacking... and maybe it's just the resolution of the mintors and things (my dad had gotten used to his high resolution phone so jumping back to a 28" 1080p monitor is going to look blocky no matter what). Regardless, if there are any tips or things I might have missed, they'd be much appreciated!
