I’m going to guess it’s because of some linux native things. I remember source engine games used to have issues with non-ext4 filesystems (or maybe it was just workshop stuff as I still have left 4 dead 2 on a separate disk), but I’m pretty sure that’s been fixed.

Been running BTRFS and XFS partitions for years, so it’s certainly a rare issue.

There’s still valid concern about this being a foot in the door tactic. Once an OS complies with this request what will the next one be? Why should this even be allowed?

Either way though, the reddit citation is a bit unnerving.

Ah, makes sense it would be targeted twards banking and financial businesses specifically. Better pinch point than some random commerce. In that case audits would be less problematic, though I’m not sure why outsourcing this data is even an option with the current rules. It’s not like a business can be completely hands off in the acquisition or processing of that info.

Out of curiosity, how?

< urls.txt while read -r url; ...

Is a syntax error.

while read -r url < urls.txt; ...

Result in an infinite loop.

I’m uninformed about this, but do KYC laws come into effect at some profit point or are they globally enforced. I don’t see how any small businesses could possibly afford a 3rd party audit, or how that would even scale. I agree it’s necessary, but logistically it seems problematic.

You can also avoid cat since you aren’t actually concatenating files (depending on file size this can be much faster):

while read -r url; do echo "download $url"; done < urls.txt

Legit thought it was just going to be a wall of text editors and nothing else

Well, that’s the last excuse I needed. Time to finally buy Witchfire.

Ironically, my first instinct to opening that page and seeing it’s unusual layout and density on mobile was to switch to the reader view. Immediately getting hit with the cyphertext output. Cool, I guess.

I suppose I could have phrased that better. The registers themselves correspond to particular applications/stages, but the values store in those registers should change based on how the application/stage was loaded. Switch the order or inject a new binary and the hash from that stage on should change.

Any changes in the boot process should change various PCR registers. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Trusted_Platform_Module#Accessing_PCR_registers

Yeah, that’s it. I normally recommended going through the main readme https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader?tab=readme-ov-file#-installation

If I resort to using a Mac I want someone to put me out of my misery.

There was a rather famous piece of software at my last job. Guy writing it wanted job security. A lot of the core variables of the application were named based on the sounds a helicopter made. God damn onomatopoeia variables. Pretty sure that shit is still in use somewhere.

Yeah, not sure how much he’s distancing himself from FUTO related things though. He brought up grayjay recently, but only specifically to talk about the devs comments on recent Texas app store legislation. Kind of a wash.

Given he is playing politician now, I don’t think he’s going to make a public statement about it. Not only would it hurt his influence but it would probably stall out any ongoing negotiations regarding right to repair. Shit sucks in general.

Honestly surprised nobody has tried to sell some bolt on diffusing/screen mask for this reason

I’m pretty sure the mirror was setup before that was an option. No reason to turn it off now that it’s a source of entertainment.

It’s better than nothing but I hate the additional logs that came from it constantly fighting firewalld.

This was a large part of the reason I switched to rootless podman for everything
