Best to set a firewall rule with nftables to block non-vpn traffic from leaving (you should also do the save for IPv4 traffic to prevent leaks in case the tunnel disconnects)

Wait till you hear about the idiots who unironically make that argument for banning Bitcoin too

Copying is not theft. Letting only massive and notoriously untransparent corporations control an emerging technology is.
Accessing printers? Resolving hostnames of internal hosts? I can’t imagine having a lan without mDNS
I don’t think it’s quite as simple as someone just forking it. Realistically, a browser is an extremely complex piece of software that requires a lot of organizational effort to maintain, deal with security issues, etc. Pretty much every other piece of software on a similar scale I can think of (the kernel, KDE, Blender, Libreoffice) has some sort of organization behind it with at least some amount of officially paid work. All the major forks of Firefox or chromium follow quite closely to upstream for this reason (which is also why I’m skeptical of Brave’s ability to maintain manifest v2 long term, despite their probably genuine best efforts to do so).
I do wish that Firefox were developed and funded by an organization specifically dedicated to developing it. This could of course happen if Mozilla dies. But that’s going to require someone starting it, which is not at all a small or cheap task.
I could also see a future where Oracle or IBM buys it 😂🤡
I think this will change. Nvidia hired devs on Nouveau, NVK is coming along, etc
Some of it probably comes from other companies that are unable or unwilling to relicense it even if Nvidia wanted to
A year ago, the majority of Lemmy was vehemently in support of banning porn
It is based on the assumption that every piece of code in the entire stack from the UEFI firmware to the operating system userspace is free of vulnerabilities
Lol that’s hilarious. I laugh so much at the crazy mixing of units we use here in the US. Similarly, it’s quite common to see metric and customary units in the same sentence, as in “add 1 tablespoon to 100 mL of water”.
Looks like the birdie has escaped phoronix…
In the small chance that this comment is serious, Nvidia is found this because the corporate server-based customers need the ability to troubleshoot and debug the driver.
The actual trade secrets are being moved into the proprietary firmware blob and out of the driver.
Whenever I want to pirate something I just go straight to btdig. And if there’s no torrent and I really need to search the web, I’ve had much better luck with Yandex. I figure they’re more resistant to takedowns from western corporations
PNG is a rather slow algorithm based on the DEFLATE compression from zip/gzip. You could extract to bmp or some other uncompressed format. First, to ensure it is lossless, make sure it supports the video’s pix_fmt without needing conversion.
This would not be the default behavior of yt-dlp. Run yt-dlp -vF <video>
to view the sort order used. Acodec should come before abr.
It used to be the behavior of the original youtube-dl, however.
Resampling does not lead to any perceptible quality loss, but encoding to aac with libavcodec’s encoder (as YouTube does) definitely will. At the very least, it cuts all frequencies above 15 kHz which are potentially audible. Opus does not, and 128k opus is usually considered transparent.
I can’t find it but somewhere there’s a very detailed explanation from Monty himself about it
Are you using the very latest version? YouTube changed their site again a few days ago and it broke yt-dlps ability to find all thr formats. Update yt-dlp and it should be back to normal. yt-dlp will prefer the opus when it is available by default.
Opus is much better than (YouTube’s) m4a. m4a is better than mp3 (which is an obsolete 30 year old format). YouTube doesn’t serve mp3 (so creating one means re-encoding), and re-encoding lossy formats always loses quality.
yt-dlp is pretty much the standard program for it https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
It is installable as a python module, so it should be easy to sandbox if you need to (though it requires ffmpeg too). Nowadays I almost view it as a standard unix utility though and wouldn’t think twice about installing the native package
Or you could just… learn to use the modern internet that 60% of internet traffic uses? Not everyone has a dedicated IPv4 anymore, we are in the days of mobile networks and CGNAT. IPv4 exhaustion is here today.
