No, I don't think so.

Tinc has weird limitations and Wireguard completely obsoletes it. There's zero reasons to ever consider using Tinc when Wireguard exists.

How are the alternatives any better? Download a DEB that executes arbitrary code, signed with some .asc that's sitting in the same webserver? Download an EXE?

Your comment is so rambley that I can't understand whether you're criticizing the distribution method or the packaging. Both of those are very different in terms of attack surface, if you're talking about supply chain attacks.

In Canada, these machines used to have glass bottles. (20oz?) Anyone else remember that?

The only way I can describe the Titanfall 2 campaign is it's the giant robot game you always wanted subconsciously. It's just great, perfect length.

The online favourite in Zandronum (multiplayer ZDoom) was Alien Vendetta, an awesome Doom2 campaign WAD. (av.wad or av20.wad) It's just super solid with lots of variety and good pacing. Made by a bunch of different mappers.

I could be wrong here, but I think the common interpretation here is wrong. The risk is not that the wires overheat and cause a fire. The risk is that the card draws too much current from a single 12V power rail on your PSU, sustained for a long time, and that burns out the power rail on your PSU.

I have a 6950 XT that I used with a 850W PSU that was connected incorrectly according to the diagram, with multiple connectors coming off a single rail. After about 6 months, one day my SSD stopped working, and after some tinkering, I realized that if I plugged it into a different 12V connector, it started working! I had burned out one of the 12V rails on my power supply, and I strongly suspect it was my incorrect wiring into my 6950 XT that caused it. (edit: I got a new PSU and never looked back)

Can.... can we change that so it does have a curated feed? 57 options isn't exactly user friendly and it's not really a solution to OP's complaint (echoed by others in this thread). Anyone know if the Lemmy devs would accept a patch for something like that?

[–] GameGod@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago (4 children)

It order to fix that, .ca would need to limit what kinds of communities can be made on this instance

Why not just curate the frontpage feed? I don't think you can avoid having to do this.

This looks like absolute garbage from the trailer, lol. The most bland art style, characters without character, terrible CGI in the trailer with bad animation and lack of effects... why even put this out? Gotta show the investors you're doing something?

If this is how bad the CGI trailer is, I can't imagine what the real game is going to be like....

I'm a huge Doom (1/2/3/2016) fan but I'm not sure how I feel about this. Eternal just seemed like more or the same so I never even bothered playing it. The Dark Ages is starting to feel a little too Anime and just outside the whole space-based Doom universe. This just doesn't seem like Doom to me and the gameplay looks like more of the same basically from the trailer.

broad, sensationalist strokes

Can you clarify what you perceive as sensationalist about what I wrote? Based on the number of upvotes this thread has, I'm not the only one that thinks this way. (My tax dollars are currently going to fighting cybercrime sponsored by Russia, fighting Russian disinformation campaigns, and providing materiel to fight the Russian military.)

I take great pride and responsibility in my critical thinking skills

Me too, but as I mentioned in another thread, the issue is that not everybody is gifted with those same critical thinking skills, and the impact on those less equipped can be catastrophic. (see: pizzagate shooting)

range of ideas acceptable to post on Lemmy were restricted to those acceptable to our mainstream media

I do think we disagree on this here - For me, mainstream media is primarily good journalism where information is fact-checked and vetted. (Don't forget there's libel laws that keep journalists in check too in most countries.) Opinions and editorials represent the views of the writers or newspaper. Every organization has a slant in what they choose to cover and find newsworthy, you just need to be aware of it. With this in mind, I don't see mainstream media as a bad thing at all or something that needs to be rebelled against. It serves a different purpose from Lemmy.

Where I see Lemmy being useful and interesting is as a news aggregator with insightful discourse in the comments that's not dominated by inauthentic behaviour. Reddit is completely flooded and driven by marketers and bots, where the content and discourse quality have become low and repetitive, which seems to be the end state of 2000-2010 era social media platform.

 

The sole moderator doesn't even follow their own rules: https://lemmy.ca/post/22741340?scrollToComments=true

I'll just say it - it's a Russian propaganda community. Is there any reason this community needs to exist on Lemmy.ca? Is there a rule against blatant astroturfing / propaganda / misinformation? I don't think the 5 rules in the sidebar are going to be enough to stop an army of trolls:

No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, > or xenophobia. Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here. No porn. Use the NSFW tag when needed. No Ads / Spamming. Bot accounts need to be flagged as such in their settings.

Maybe time to get ahead of it?
