If DNS gets blocked, can’t sites still be accessed as long as you know the IP or Socket of the server?

Lubuntu has always been solid for me for low spec machines.
With only 2 gb of RAM it will be slow, there is almost no avoiding that part.
Shout out to Brokep, nice to see folks using Njalla.
Anyone else remember when the Bush administration considered people who read Linux Journal to be targeted for extra surveillance because they labelled Linux Journal an extremist forum for merely discussing the existence of Tor and Tails?
Further, anyone else remember when the Bush admin pushed Total Information Awareness, a program that was collecting the kind of information on US citizens that those same citizens give away freely to Facebook without needing to be surveilled?
TL;DW: Native Wayland support in Wine.
I’m not OP, but maybe this one?
Seconded for Soulseek.
You do, especially if its a new game.
I had seen other comments mentioning the same and had considered mentioning that is out of reach for a lot of people but then didn’t.
Like my PC is running STALKER 2 great on the lowest settings, but if I had to run it through a VM first I would lose a lot of performance and probably dip below 60fps.
Most games people want to pirate are brand new so telling them to do something like reformat their (probably only) PC to run baremental Linux with a Windows VM for the game is just silly and unreasonable. At that point you may as well just buy the game if you need a whole extra computer to pirate it safely.
I couldn’t possibly run brand new games in a VM and I only have one computer that can even play modern games. Silly suggestion.
At least somebody still does since all the VAs are getting so old they don’t sound like themselves anymore.
I don’t know why, but it’s very sweet to see Jill Talley and Tom Kenny right next to each other in the cast list. Usually they’re separated since Jill only does minor characters and Tom is the titular Spongebob.
They got married after meeting each other as cast members of HBO’s Mr. Show. Always nice to see them actually paired up.
EDIT: Also the leaked movie is practically Standard Definition and damn Tom and Mr. Lawrence are getting so old they’re struggling to do the voices as clear as they used to.
You think private companies actually care deeply about OpSec other than just shutting down legitimate criticism?
Security costs money and that’s supposed to go in executives pockets don’t you know. Wasting it on something like security means less pay for Reed Hastings! Fuck the security, executives must profit! /s
GOG digitally signs their games and have no DRM, thus no need for cracks.
If you can get a hold of a GOG version, you can check its validity.
For games outside the GOG ecosystem, they are all unfortunately at risk.
I played Baldur’s Gate 3 via a pirated GOG version on release with friends until I was able to afford my own copy, then moved the saved game over to the legit copy.
Exactly. I have services running with staggered automated updates/reboots to keep things stable. Since at least one of them is always available, it’s like having no down-time but with actual stability and redundancy.
One way to avoid it is to prioritize GOG copies if they’re available. Since GOG has no DRM they tend to generally be untouched.
I have all my devices set to reboot once weekly a few hours after daily scheduled updates. I probably don’t need to do this, but I do. It’s a habit I got in with scheduling router reboots, and then started extending it to other devices. It’s nice to have some solid uptime, but I have three unbound DNS servers in sequence so they update and reboot on a staggered schedule so it’s like they never go down.
You never know when the odd cosmic ray is gonna hit and flip yer bits.
Lubuntu has more done to it to make it run on older/slower/less RAM hardware than Xubuntu. Xubuntu is better for modern but low powered machines.
For stuff that’s actually relatively old and low-power, I’ve had much more luck with Lubuntu.
The smaller the swarm, the less functional bittorrent is.
Instant private trackers for a handful of people kind of feels like its missing the entire point of how bittorrent works.
There’s already secure, serverless ways to share a file with just a handful of people, this seems like overkill.
EDIT: Not trying to be rude, it’s still a cool idea and well executed.
Don’t be sorry for having an opinion, and that’s a pretty mild one all things considered.
Right, which is why I’m implying this could be a hit because it’s the right form factor aimed at a myriad of use-cases.
The anti Rust bullshit is gonna kill Linux’s growth.
