what's the flag on your blogs banner?

It's the Agender flag, which also happens to be close to the rocky linux colors. It's also very slightly in my icon.

ESA bafflingly declares private Minecraft servers 'illegal'

Catch me on the corner selling server.jar out of a long trenchcoat.

it's very cool that bourgeoisie hacks are allowed to just, blatantly lie to legislators and not suffer any consequences for that

Man, I feel like I'm the only one posting tech stuff.

Where's everybody?

[debian-official]

i know too much to have any positive feelings towards technology

this isn't me just being bitter. There is much beauty in this world and you'll find it far away from anything branded as "tech"

[click-clack-gremlin]

I feel like there used to be beauty in tech.

Maybe it was related to the elegance of doing much with little. Maybe it was related to the promise for the future. Maybe it was because of the ways that it could improve our lives.

But now we all have supercomputers to use to for trivialities, they're not really improving our lives anymore, and there's not really a good vision for the future.

microslop is currently feuding with some nerd and it's the funniest thing ever

basically, some guy called nightmare-eclipse has found several zero-day exploits in windows and at first contacted microsoft about it but they kept ignoring him (even though they have a bug bounty program, so technically they have to pay him a grant for finding these)

so then he started posting them publicly whenever he found any in hopes of microsoft finally fixing them that way, but of course that leaves windows users vulnerable, because now not-so-nice hackers can see exactly how they can use those exploits. He has found FOUR so far and microsoft did nothing about it.

microsoft then deleted the guy's gitlab account and sued him, after which he said they should mark july 14th in their calender because he is done playing nice and is going to "shatter their bones"

Nord policy on renewal was awful, canceled that service.

Windscribe did some man-o-sphere right wing shit the same month I start the service. canceled that service

Mullvad comes out as free speech absolutists and fascists the same month I start service.

Can I just have a foss backed vpn that doesn't scrape data or have fucked privacy concerns and doesn't cost an arm and leg? Fucks sake

Now taking next recommendations on a new vpn.

my gpu (9060 xt) stayed between 58-59°C even after 10 minutes of furmark stress testing

highest cpu (r9 5900x) temp ive ever seen was 70°C for a small moment while loading a game and watching a video at the same time, usually only hits like 65°C during gaming

thoughts? is this good or meh or bad?

[rocky-linux-official]

Its pretty good. Warm for consumer hardware, but in line with the performance drawn from the components.

Back at it again, the dirty series is BACK baby. No patches, remediation only via modprobe changes

Important rules for the "age verification" era of the internet that we're living in:

1. Do not do age verification.

2. If you have to do age verification, cheat. Do not under any circumstances give them your real ID.

It all comes down to this.
