Probably: “oh we already have a -r for xxx, let’s do recursion with -R”

The closest that comes to mind are QSFP cables.

I used to have the same issue. Turns out, it was fixed by a firmware update on my motherboard.

Your Mileage May Vary

I have one of those, it won’t work with my Linux though :/

Hmmm I don’t really know. You can try with this tutorial I found.

The way I did it, is I checked my motherboard’s website, and saw they posted a recent firmware update.

I used to have some similar issues when playing games, and the cause of it was my motherboard’s firmware. Maybe check and see if it is up to date?

To me, telemetry would be like a sofa company wanting to put some cameras in your home to see if you’re using the sofa the way they thought you would. It just feels… off.

“90% of crashes happen right after the player uses a grenade”.

Imo, a simple opt-in crash report gets the job done. Technically it is telemetry, but a crash report is more justified than a “where have you clicked” report.

telemetry data for software from reputable companies does not get sold

There’s just no trust in companies to not sell my data. I cannot trust Microsoft nor Google nor any other company to not sell my data, having seen the shenanigans every single company is willing to pull off to get a cent more a year.

this seems like applying the same rules to everyone equally

Though it can seem fair, applying the same rules to everyone equally can be very racist.

people not understanding your thought process

First, knowing that you have a mind that may take shortcuts that others aren’t used to taking is helpful. Whenever you explain something to someone else, it is useful to explicit the reason you take these shortcuts.

For instance, if while talking about subject A, your mind makes a link to subject B and them to C, you have to talk about B before talking about C, even if to you B is evident and there’s no point in talking about it.

people not understanding your way of life

People don’t need to understand my way of life. It’s my life, I do what I want. I can explain to them why I chose to do the things I do, but ultimately I’m going to do it whether they understand or not – unless they convince me that it’s a bad way to live.

From what I understand, Cloudflare can block some DDoS attacks, but not all of them.

The attacks on Lemmy have to do with poorly optimized SQL requests; these are requests that shouldn’t take long to execute, but do due to some oversight. By spamming these requests, the attackers can bring Lemmy on it’s knees.

Actually, wouldn’t this attack better be categorized as a DoS attack ? What’s so distributed about it ?
