I’ve tried many distros, Bazitte is by far the best for gaming without having to tinker. Fedora is not a good option imo because nvidia drivers are a pain in the ass.

I’d recommend he dual boot. Bazitte strictly for gaming due to it’s lack of traditional package management. And arch, Debian, or Fedora for coding.

I personally use PopOS for work stuff as well.

Last time I checked, you need to make a github pull request with the relevant info about your instance and after a certain buffer period they will add your instance to the list. Check the github page. There should be instructions.

I recently went down that same rabbit hole.

I ended up buying Bitwig Producer and I’m running it in an Arch install.

I tried a number of different distros which all caused different headaches. Arch ended up being the best fit for my Linux audio needs and was way easier to set up than Lubuntu, Debian, PopOS.

With the right setup, latency is better than I was getting in Ableton on Windows and Mac. I can even record live audio without any perceivable latency.

Bitwig made me realize how convoluted and stupid Ableton’s UI is. The team behind Bitwig holds good values, so I felt they deserved my money. However I have seen torrents available for it. I suggest you try a 30 day trial first that way you can check if you even like Bitwig before going through the hassle of getting a pirated version working.

My current pain point is Serum in Wine has GUI rendering issues making it unusable. Luckily Vital for Linux works perfectly.

Fabfilter plugins work with some minor tweaks.

My Waves license is on an ilok, which I know doesn’t work in Wine. So eventually I’ll pirate the cracked version and try that.

So far I’m really happy with the setup. Another benefit of Linux audio over Windows or Mac is the routing abilities. I can route any program as an input, allowing me to stream YouTube or Spotify into Bitwig so I can play live music over the songs without having to download them first or rig up some weird aux cable nonsense.

That’s pretty annoying.

I had a similar experience today with two other services. The bot detection systems these sites are using is completely broken.

I’ve had my tuta account for a while so never had that issue with them. But I don’t appreciate the way they handled your issue. I wouldn’t use tuta if I was treated like that.

Buy IP PoE cameras like Amcrest or Reolink, hard wire them to a detected hub that is either disconnected from the internet, or firewalled to only allow direct access over your own personal VPN.

AI is the poetic culmination of where society has been heading for decades.

A photocopy of a photocopy.

AI is literally an acceleration of Jean Baudrillard’s theories on modern culture.

Not that I think that excuses it. If anything it’s more depressing.

Take it one step further and host your repo somewhere other than github. Codeberg, perhaps?

I believe this is the original whitepaper: https://ws.binghamton.edu/fridrich/Research/double.pdf

And here’s an implemention I found on github: https://github.com/andrewlewis/camera-id

With that repo you should be able to test ways to obfuscate the noise signal.

Most people don’t know your photos can be cross profiled and identified by the unique noise signature of your camera.

I’ve never heard of it being used in practice though. There’s a github repo somewhere if you’re interested in trying it yourself.

Partly true but Amazon has been known to make dupes of a product and sell it at a loss to drive the competitor out of business. I’m sure that threat lingers in some peoples’ minds.

They probably also promise the management team “you’ll still have creative control after we buy you”. Then turn around and replace each of them one by one

This has been such a depressing trend over the last few decades.

Fresh bright-eyed startup with a passionate creator develops some interesting and innovative product.

Gets bought out by FAANG, turns to shit and stops working properly or gets discontinued, and primarily functions as a spyware device.

This is amazing. Thank you!

Personally I use other platforms for uncensored discussions.

Unfortunately they’re filled with insufferable twats like yourself, but that’s the price we pay for free speech.

It’s obvious for everybody except for you, that Lemmy isn’t intended as a free speech platform, but a means to form your own community based on shared interests and values. That inherently comes with some amount of censorship at the discretion of instance operators. I’m a free speech advocate, but I value and respect individuals’ right to maintain their property (Lemmy instance) as they see fit.

If you want free speech, hop on Simplex where you can yell racial slurs until you’ve satisfied yourself.

Or spin up your own lemmy instance. I’d be happy to join and engage in some debates.

Join lat-team private tracker. They have everything you’d ever want.

The question is whether they were using infrared to see through normal sunglasses. IR blocking sunglasses prevent “night vision” from seeing through the lenses. Under infared, you can see through normal dark sunglasses like they aren’t even there.

Got any further info about these more advanced methods?

I haven’t seen anything beyond the feature distance models. I have seen the models that essentially recreate you entire anatomy in 3D, place it in a database, then use that profile to match to in the future–almost like a 3D match move artist would do for visual effects. Not sure if this is just a proof of concept though.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the millimeter wave scanners at airports have been collecting 3D models of us for this database over the last decades.

IR blocking sunglasses are the simplest and most practical solution.

Facial recognition systems compare the distance ratios between your eyes and nose primarily. Hiding your eyes is very effective towards fucking that up. A mask alone is typically not enough.

That immediately came to mind. But is there a way to have it reroute to a different platform if the video is on an alternative platform? I follow a few youtubers in grayjay that I only recently discovered mirror on peer tube. Grayjay didn’t give any hints.

I’m not sure whether you’re asking why to use a frontend vs YouTube rawdog or conflating Odysee/Peertube with a YouTube frontend. I thought they were frontends as well for a long time.

If you’re asking why to use a frontend proxy for YouTube, there could be a few reasons. The obvious being privacy concerns, but other people prefer the less cluttered interface, no ads, no YouTube premium or sign in with google popups, no manipulative algorithm.

This is actually a brilliant idea.
