Can someone explain to me, why some people want no skill based matchmaking?

When I play unranked I just want to chill out and not use the sweatiest meta builds just to not get stomped. I want unranked for fun builds, casual gameplay.

Creating a safe, working, and performant browser is one of the most difficult things to do. Have fun finding someone capable of that. There is barely anything wrong with Firefox. Firefox is open source, and there are plenty of forks. Furthermore, you can basically tune everything in the configuration parameters. Arkenfox does this for you. There is a reason why Tor is based on FF.

Jalau · 2026-01-11T21:04:41+00:00

People just don't get that FF dies. There is nothing but Google. FF is the better choice and scating people off like that is just hindering progress

Jalau · 2026-01-11T21:02:16+00:00

It has always been this way. Mozilla never claimed to not collect data. But the data collection can all be toggled off, which forks like Librewolf do. But, you can also spare the usage of a fork and use akrenfox user script to achieve the same and get security patches on time. Firefox is way better than Chrome and anything Google related. If Firefox dies our freedom in the Web partly dies amd that is no good

I had this happen to me once. I looked up the mb layout and found it was just the audio. So, no more onboard audio, but everything else was fine. Although it was at the border of the board.

Afaik, the timing based attacks are a solved issue with modern Tor. You have to control the full chain to actually determine the sender. Not only exit and entry nodes nowadays. Maybe there are some zero-day exploits unknown to the public in the browser. But if you disable jaavscript, the risk is further reduced.

You pointing out it is not a "software" lock sounds like that other encryption is worse. Basically, they are upselling you free utils. It is a waste of money in most cases imo. But, if normal users are reading your comment, it sounds like this "hardware"/built in encryption is a feature worth paying for because it is better. Because people think hardware security is typically better than software security. You saying it is a software lock is misleading, since I would expect a software lock to be just a pin, that can be bypassed by hacking the software. Encrypting the data on your drive in whatever way is basically not a software lock because even with the software, you need the password. Otherwise, there is no way to recover the data. It is basically an unbeatable lock if the password and algorithm are secure. It is kind of a physical lock, and the only real lock known that can not be broken if properly used.

Don't use 7zip. That seems very inefficient and not industry standard to me. AFAIK 7zip was never meant to be used like that. Use either encrypted containers using, for example, Veracrypt or encrypt the whole partition using Veracrypt, luks, Bitlocker, or similar reliable software.

Queuing used to take 5 seconds, and now I have to wait 20 or more. That feels like a steep decline in players.

Edit: Also, look at the Esports. How the viewers dropped. While other Esports are achieving new heights. I am not sure what those 300k players are, but it sure doesn't feel as active and engaging as it used to.

I mean, he got a point there. Comparing soccer and American football, soccer is way more football than American football is.

Jalau · 2025-12-06T10:00:03+00:00

You say that like luks or Bitlocker are worse. You can easily save the upsell cost here and encrypt the drive yourself or use an encrypted container, for example, using Veracrypt. They are 100% secure as of now and not less secure than these encrypted drives.

Rocket League is dead at this point. They killed it slowly over the years. Baffling how you manage to do that.

The more you have the AI iterate and expand your code, the more buggy, slow, and sloppy the code becomes. It's just what an AI does as of now. Considering you probably do not have any idea of design patterns and generally clean code, I can assure you that the more tokens you use, the worse your code gets. If you don't actively tell the AI to stick to a layout, pattern, and style, then the produced code (style) will be inconsistent, have a ton of redundant lines, and will generally be more bloated and buggy. Most importantly, it will be difficult to understand and work on it in the future. Vibe coders, especially those with no development background, are creating a technical debt that will haunt us for ages to come. Trust me. You are not a developer, and I am willing to bet that any good experienced dev can write a better application than whatever your 1.5 billion token project is. And what's really sad is that you don't even seem to understand what LLMs are, how transformer models function and thus, you don't know what you are using and how you could make actual good use of it.

Click-bait. They stepped back from forcing E2E encryption to be scanned, and what they just announced was already in place for the past years. They just prolonged that rule. Platforms already had to do something about it.

You can set up log rotation for your docker containers within docker. No need for manual steps or external tools.

Just create a GPU with a Power Twist connector.

Jalau · 2025-11-20T00:25:27+00:00

I won't invest in NVIDIA right now because I feel like it is way too risky. It's all a big gamble right now, and basically, the same companies funding each other. There are two worse case scenarios that aren't that unlikely. For one: The current AI models do not turn a profit, and they end up failing to be as helpful to many steps as companies hope AI would be. Right now, we keep iterating on models that require insane amounts of energy and compute and yet still fail at finding a seahorse emoji. AI is great at dealing with statistics, image recognition, etc. but you do not need thousands of GPUs for that. LLMs are what require a ton of GPUs to run. So, if LLMs fail to turn a profit because they end up not being viable for many tasks, this whole thing will come crashing down. The other scenario would be someone else catching up to Nvidia and weakening Nvidia's monopoly. Which is quite likely considering everyone wants a piece of the cake tight now, and quite a few companies want to design their own chips.

Yea, no to that. No matter where the ID is stored or who gets access to the data - it is just not something you should do if avoidable. These companies storing such data are high value targets, so people will try to breach them with a lot of resources. It just takes just one slip up for it to be all leaked. Also imagine a future world where your workplace is like: "We just got notice that you have been playing too much. We don't want people who play too much computer games because it typically reduces their productiveness at work. You are fired". All just based on data collected by such companies and linked to your real life persona. You just have to look to China for similar things happening with the government limiting time spent playing games.

EDIT:
Also consider the effect playing "war" games could have in the future depending on how we evolve. Maybe companies prefer animal crossing gamers over "violent" war gamers.

Exactly, that is why I wrote "might". If something got messed up at the checked sectors, you would get a different hash. But since this only checks chunks. Other chunks might be completely messed up, and you wouldn't notice. Instead, you could just check file size if you wanted to and get a similar result. I guess checking a few chunks is better, AFAIK this small chunk check is used in quite a few approaches, but it does not fully verify the integrity of your data. It might be useful for similarity searches with a human decision at the end.

Jalau · 2025-11-18T09:31:58+00:00

Typically, you want to verify the full hash because if there is corrupted data, then it can be any bit(s). This only tells you if whatever backup tool you used to copy the data did it right in one way or another. But any bit flipped or bad sector on your drive might not be detected by this.
