Ah ok I see what you were saying. Honestly I think we’ll see physical media first, like multilayer Blu-ray Discs or something, that drive the initial adoption, just like with 4K. One people get a taste of it, demand will force streamers to offer it at a premium tier, until it eventually just becomes normalized.

But yeah I think it’s gonna be way slower than the buildup to 4K also.

Wait what? Are you implying that if there was demand for 8k content, then pirates would make it available? The content has to exist in order for pirates to release it.

I can download a remux of the 4K Lawrence of Arabia transfer because it was filmed in 70mm and the studio transferred it at 4K. It’s 70mm film, so it’s ~8-12K equivalent, but to actually get that resolution they would have to scan that film at that resolution, then go through the whole video workflow, color correction, whatever tf idk I’m not a video engineer, at that resolution, and render out the final version at that resolution.

Pirates aren’t doing that, they’re ripping physical or digital releases. And there’s no point in downloading an 8K upscale of a 4K release, just let your TV or your Shield or Infuse handle the upscaling.

Ah, misunderstood what you meant my bad.

General users can have production servers also. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make by quoting an FAQ at me tbh.

Judging by the downvotes, Onno wasn’t clear at all and other people thought they meant it the way I took it. I think the part that makes it obvious Onno was telling the user to use Ubuntu provided user support is that they literally said “Use the support”.

You can pin versions in your dock-compose.yaml file if you’re running it as a container. If you’ve installed bare metal then idk.

It’s not how long you get support, it’s how long that version of the OS is going to be supported by the maintainers for stuff like security updates. The reason you would choose an LTS release is because you don’t want an apt update to switch to a kernel version (or any other package version) that borks a production server.

Manually typing the base64 encoded 32GB file? Open up a terminal and type echo “example text” | base64, then imagine inputing the result of piping 32GB to it instead of 13 characters.

I can’t imagine how long it would take to do that with a 32GB file, or how many errors it they would have by the end.

Yeah I wish we could go back to a model like that, the way PC gaming used to be. The sticking point would be battle pass progression, as mush as I hate it and an FPS is pretty much doa without it, although Hell Let Loose allows for rank progression while playing on clan-rented servers so it should work in theory.

The types of cheats that anti cheat in kernel space are trying to detect don’t view the video feed as such. They hook the process directly to read the memory, and the chest developer has reverse engineered the game binary to find out what variables correspond to things like opposing players, then using that information they draw stuff like wall hacks on the screen.

But yeah I guess an fps developer could move to a GeForce now type of model to eliminate cheats like that, but then no one would play that fps because of the input lag issues.

Yeah, switching off of master/slave and whitelist/blacklist made sense. Some of the terms mentioned in the article are massive stretches to be considered uninclusive imo.

Redpillers might be posturing, but the people who consume it believe it and allow it to influences their behavior and beliefs. Both things can be toxic scourges that need to be stamped out, we’re both (probably) on the same side here.

Edit - I also just realized that the person I replied to is on an Australian instance, and obviously realized the article was discussing legislation in Australia. I’m not Australian, so the TERF problem might be significantly more problematic than the red pill stuff in Australia, with a much higher risk of causing more immediate real world harm to the targeted communities there. I absolutely was not trying to downplay that if it’s the case, or pull any false equivalency shit or anything.

Exactly. The only thing that I really have to add is that I personally draw the line between social media and other types of websites or internet services is whether the service is intended to be used anonymously or connected to a real identity. I’d further divide the anonymous stuff between whether they are intended to be used with handles or without an account at all.

Under that personal definition, I would not consider stuff like BBS, Usenet, forums, AIM, etc., to be social media.

I also wouldn’t consider Discord to be social media tbh, it’s a messaging application. If Discord is social media why isn’t iMessage?

Something like Twitter, BlueSky, or Mastadon could be social media depending on how you use them, but since many people do utilize them with accounts linked to their real identity I would consider them social media.

Then you have the obvious social media stuff like FaceBook, and LinkedIn.

Now that I’m typing this out, stuff like Insta, TikTok, Snap, etc., get weird. I would personally consider them social media, but tons of people use those apps with handles. Maybe in addition to the anonymous or real identity thing there’s also the consideration of whether the site or app is intended to connect you with people you know in meatspace or online.

Yeah, I guess the distinctions I personally use are becoming a bit meaningless now.

It also swings the other way. Young boys are getting red pilled by YouTubers and influencers like Andrew Tate and his ilk, and I would prefer those kids to learn who they are and how they relate to and fit into their community before being exposed to that sort of toxic content.

As others have said here though, the right tact here would have probably been to legislate away the algorithmic content feeds themselves instead of regulating kids having accounts. YouTube will still push related videos without an account, so I don’t see how this particular route helps at all.

His platform is simping to corporate interests. I guess it’s better than a republican though. Oh we also have the folksy harmonica bluegrass Democrat senator.

This cleared up my confusion, thanks!

I’m familiar with reveng from a malware and security testing point of view, using tools like IDA, Binja, Ghidra, etc., so I was aware that decompilers are taking the compiled assembly instructions, then recreating Intermediate Language and pseudo-C stuff without debugging info or original function names and stuff, but I was missing the key point of game assets not being distributable.

I have literally never seen this box. I don’t use an app, I just browse to the site in my browser.

The Lawrence of Arabia 4K remux is so fucking crispy.

You should really quiet down, how else are you going to hear anything?
