It looks like they are working on fixing that with this pull request.

Is it https://tosdr.org/ ?

There’s also https://privacyspy.org/

I just checked myself and it’s card1 too, now I am curious why it’s not card0. 🤷

I believe it’s cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_power_profile_mode.

There’s also the power_dpm_force_performance_level.

I agree with this. I understand that the majority of users also don’t read release notes and some don’t even install add-ons, with this being enabled by default this would provide them with a more anonymous ad experience.

As a small homelabber I agree with this. I started with a baremetal and using Docker, and switched to Proxmox, and now over to Incus, actually currently I am using Debian with cockpit + cockpit-machines. I do like Incus, I keep hopping back and forth between cockpit, I need to settle on one.

That’s interesting! I wonder if they are locking down factory installations.

About a month ago I was able to do it with a fresh install of Pro in a VM, I’ll do a quick test and see if it works on Home…and it works too. I had to disconnect the network and then run the OOBE\BYPASSNRO command, it rebooted and gave me the continue without network and limited setup options.

Unless I missed something, the article states as follows

Another method of bypassing the account lockdown still exists. You simply have to enter OOBE\BYPASSNRO in the command prompt during the Windows 11 setup process, which allows you to skip the connection to the Internet and thus also the link to a Microsoft account.

I agree. I am someone who values their privacy and often does not like opt-out style analytics however I also know opt-in skews analytics. The way the searches are only categorized, and they are using Oblivious HTTP keeping IP addresses private makes me A-OK with this.

Yeah, Debian has older firmware found in the firmware-amd-graphics package which doesn’t include the firmware. You’ll need to download it from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/ I believe anything from linux-firmware-20231030 and newer should work.

20231030 tag: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/amdgpu?h=20231030 or newest(20240410) tag: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/amdgpu?h=20240410

These files need to be placed in /lib/firmware/amdgpu/

It’s a relatively low performance hit and it benefits me when having to replace a failing/old disk. I can just toss the drive without having to erase the data first, that is as long as the key is a secure length.

Quickly skimming the readme, it states:

• OAuth token spoofing: To circumvent rate limits imposed by Reddit, OAuth token spoofing is used to mimick the most common iOS and Android clients. While spoofing both iOS and Android clients was explored, only the Android client was chosen due to content restrictions when using an anonymous iOS client.
• Token refreshing: The authentication token is refreshed every 24 hours, emulating the behavior of the official Android app.
• HTTP header mimicking: Efforts are made to send along as many of the official app’s headers as possible to reduce the likelihood of Reddit’s crackdown on Redlib’s requests.

Quad9 doesn’t report it as being blocked. https://quad9.net/result?url=catbox.moe

You can block instances. Go to settings, blocks, in block instance section search for the instance that you want to block.

Yeah, I originally was hoping for a singleplayer mode and realized that it didn’t have any way to reset player progress. Ubisoft needs to realize that MMOs aren’t meant to have sequals so often and are meant to support them for a long time and instead release expansions, look at Runescape, WoW, and Guild Wars 1 for examples.

It has been released as exactly that: https://www.knockoutcity.com/private-server-edition#section-download

Isn’t that what they did? https://www.knockoutcity.com/private-server-edition#section-download

From the article:

There’s one thing, however, that Harrison recommends studios do above all others when sunsetting a live service game: let players keep playing the game on their own servers. Before shutting down Knockout City, Velan released the game as a standalone Windows executable with private server support. It’s still available to download.

It is very useful! It’s also slightly customizable in that you can have it not save duplicate commands.

grass is on the AUR… https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grass

~53 W

• Server:

  • AMD Ryzen 5 5600G
  • 4x16 GB DDR4 3200 Mhz
  • 256 GB NVMe as boot-disk
  • 2x256 GB Samsung SSDs for VMs
  • 2x2 TB WD Red Plus HDDs

• Mini PC: Beelink S12 N95

  • 16 GB DDR4
  • 256 GB NVMe

• 8 port unmanaged TP Link switch

I would like to expand my storage, however I don’t have any available SATA ports and I believe adding an HBA would increase the idle draw about 8 W. I might just upgrade the SSDs and split the storage between the HDDs and SSDs.
