I plan on not celebrating my birthday and only bring it up if conversation happens to lead there, or if somebody asks. Usually somebody remembers and offers a dinner or to hang out. Not a fan of big parties! Too much hubbub.

I just shreked my opensuse

You can write code blocks with a special syntax that makes silverbullet interpret the code block as a script and executes it. It’s referred to as space script in the documentation iirc. You can add commands, text transformers, etc with ease.

The live query templating system is super neat too, I have a few subsections in my notes with an index page that automatically lists all child pages with a summary of the page, if I’ve written one for that page.

+1 to silverbullet. Been using it for a long portion of its lifetime, I love that you can adjust it and add functionality by writing pages in the editor

My point was that it’s one of a very short list of free top-level domains, and was likely chosen because it was free and didn’t have the same reputation that, say, .tk had.

I doubt that was literally their intent, it’s just a free TLD

Lowe’s uses a customized Linux distro for their department terminal computers. Most of what you do is in browser or terminal applications, if genesis is still in use.

Massgrave is a tool that can create legit (oem) keys for windows and office out of thin air*

• it’s not literally creating them from nothing, it’s using a system Ms themselves run to get working keys. Evidently they don’t have a huge problem with it.

Cinavia! Allegedly it’s still around and mandated in all consumer Blu-ray players.

They make a lot off of paid repositories and enterprise contracts, id be shocked if they had to enshittify it

A gun would help stop those witches from flying in the sky.

I may be taking this analogy the wrong way.

Unless they are permanently only using specific addresses or blocks and will never change that up, I’d consider it a moving target.

A flatpak of the snap, running in a docker container inside a vm for maximum security.

Checking ip ownership is a moving target more likely to result in outcomes these sites don’t want (accidentally blocking google bots and preventing results from appearing on google).

Checking useragent is cheap, easier, unlikely to break (for this purpose, anyway) and the percentage of folks who know how to bypass this check is relatively slim, with a pretty small financial impact.

Looks like beeper got their stuff working again.

Can’t imagine this working out very well long term though

It’s feasible and has been used in various 0day exploits in the last few years. It’s getting significantly rarer nowadays but media player exploits leading to RCE has been a staple of malware distribution for a long while.

It’s just much easier to make a malicious word macro and hope the user isn’t careful than to research/identify an exploitable bug in a media player.

Generally you can’t reverse it into exactly what was written, but most of the time you can disassemble or decompile just about any program as long as the binary format is known. The legibility of the resulting unraveling may vary depending on language and any methods used to obfuscate the end binary.

Steams solution is about as simple as it gets. Install steam on both devices (or the steam link app/ a physical steam link box), pair controller, log in, hit play.

The ps3 provides decent ui but due to stunted interest in the ps3 for homebrew there hasn’t been as much of a focus on getting emulators running well, just to get them running, so while 2d systems will run well at native res you won’t be able to push them very far with shaders, and while n64 allegedly works decently you’ll be stuck with buggy and slow performance. The real upside to the ps3 is decent ps1 and ps2 emulation because of Sonys efforts (even on non-bc consoles) which opens the door to thousands more games.

A raspberry pi or steam deck will offer a generally better emulation experience than a ps3- the homebrew scene for the ps3 leaves a lot to be desired.
