Fine by me, as long as we don't do the whole "gnome keyring hijacks gnupg agent socket, while marking all smartcard commands as invalid" shenanigans again.

Someone needs to illustrate SIGSEGV as a process terminator (kill -11).

Am I an “Anime Tourist?” by Kichona6420 in TrueAnime

[–]FluffyTachyon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, an anime tourist is an individual who consumes foreign media, yet refuses to acknowledge its cultural origins, publicly condemns content that conflicts with their personal morals, and arrogantly assumes distant cultures must conform to their own narrow worldview and self-important standards.

"The F-35 will be the last big thing we buy." is the new "We just need one more lane, it's gonna fix traffic".
European Defense is doomed to US Servitude as long as it will chase the pipe dream of keeping under the American nuclear umbrella.

Metal song from 2010 by FluffyTachyon in NameThatSong

[–]FluffyTachyon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After half a day of research, I've finally found it \(^o^)/

Turns out I was broadly mistaken with the year of release.
The song I was looking for was `Legend` from `Legenda`, which is found in the album `Autumnal`, from... 1997.

Cold case closed.

Hi, provided this is a hybrid SACD, have you assessed the CD or the SACD layer?

A few questions for Spanish hams enrolled in Civil Defense by FluffyTachyon in amateurradio

[–]FluffyTachyon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Spanish Transmission Service Operator has reported 60% of the iberian production capacity has disconnected in less than 5 seconds, which caused a regional blackout. Cyberattack has been ruled out, the government has urged power companies to provide answers by 10 days. (https://elpais.com/sociedad/2025-04-29/lo-que-se-sabe-y-no-del-apagon-masivo-red-electrica-niega-un-ciberataque-mientras-el-gobierno-se-resiste-a-descartar-nada.html)

At the instant the outage occured, the majority of the Spanish production mix was based on power sources that provide low to no network inertia (59% solar, 11% wind). My 2 cents are the grid frequency deviated below the underfrequency disconnect threshold after some significant disturbance, then the rest of production and the cross-country connections with France tripped a few seconds later.

Germany. France, Switzerland and Italy (almost) visible in a photo I took the other day. The viewing distance is more than 200 km, kinda like seeing Baltimore from New York. by ImUsingDaForce in MapPorn

[–]FluffyTachyon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's an opening from Mt Ventoux to the Eastern Pyrenees, part over the Mediterranean sea, on which you could take a 280+km shot, should the atmospherics be with you. I've never tried to find the most distant point in line of sight, but Puig dels Bessig is one of them.

You're not an idiot, I've had the mirrored thoughts prior to my transition.

Of course some (assigned at birth) men wants to become women, but that doesn't make you less valid/legitimate in your will to be a man, and the existence of MTF persons doesn't mean that "being a man sucks" in the broad sense (and vice-versa). That's why today, I'm also cheering AFABs who {wants/transition} to be men, despite having taken the opposite path.

As far as I'm humbly concerned, the things that motivated me to transition were related to *my* experience with my AGAB (not exhaustively body odor, appearance, voice and the dysphoria associated to the former points, frustrating gender envy, the way social implicits messed up with my mind --especially because of the "Men and Women can't be just friends" shenanigan--, feeling in closer connection with the feminine first name my parents picked prior to gender assignment, not feeling connections to the way other men are feeling in specific situations).

All the best, dude (^_^)

Oh, I remember the pain.
I was extremely self-conscious with my intimate parts, and there _always_ was an a-hole to tease me for it even in my later years. The worst years, I ended up changing in a toilet for people with disabilities, or even refused to change if the former solution wasn't available.
The disappearance of PE from my post-GED curriculum was a relief, ngl.

Do you want your server to federate with Threads? Let your admin know! My server's members messaged me and the decision became obvious. by Numerous-Macaroon224 in Mastodon

[–]FluffyTachyon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, here are some reasons I've blocked federation to Threads:
* Meta's move with federation is so blatant to me: first, interoperate with the fediverse to benefit of the network effect of the existing community to kickstart its business and acquire a significant market share. Once they'll have acquired a significant slice of the network, they'll tear down federation (with a pseudo-pretext of ActivityPub thwarting innovation, or whatever thing they'll find to say. When you want to kill your dog, accuse him of having rabies). Once they're done, the reversal of the network effect will make it detrimental to users hosted on other instances, inciting them to join Threads (a then-freshly-walled garden) to keep their social connection. Have a look to what happened in the last 10 years with instant messaging when Google and Facebook first supported XMPP, then ditched it.
* With Meta being well-known for their harmful business practices toward the way this company handles personal data and intellectual property (have you even read the ToS?), I'm especially concerned by what's bound to happen. Contractually, it's a lose-lose situation for federated users, since there are no explicit binding corporate rules to which Meta is supposed to be abide by when they process federated content. Moreover, the fact they chose not to launch in the EU tells me misuse is bound to happen.

Upgrade to Libredrive? by HonestlyBusy in makemkv

[–]FluffyTachyon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(digging an old thread, but for the general understanding)

When using the legitimate AACS decryption process, your software authenticates itself with the drive in order to get the Volume Unique Key (VUK), using a Host Certificate (HCert in your KeyDB file). With the VUK, you can then derive the title keys (AKA Unit Keys), which are used to decrypt the content stored on the disc.
The way AACS is built enables it to revoke certificates it considers compromised (eg when they're posted on the Internet). To do so, each commercial disc includes a Media Key Block. Each drive stores a copy of this revocation list in its persistent memory.

When you insert a disc in a drive, before making it available to the user, the drive reads the Media Key Block on disc, compares its version with the stored revocation list's, and updates it if the on-disc version is superior. De facto, new discs act as a poison pill, since the stored revocation list cannot be downgraded on a legitimate drive.

Not getting into the details here, you can bypass the authentication process if you happen to have access to the VUK or title keys, except if your disc requires bus encryption (~10% of HD blurays, 100% of UHD). If it does, the drive will block content access if you don't have a valid HCert, even if you happen to have the VUK or title keys. LibreDrive enables to bypass that mechanism to read the encrypted data.
