  • I'm not OP but NIST is a very shady institution for various reasons:

    Use anything NIST related with care. Use ED25519 or if not available, RSA with large key sizes (4096+).

  • Meanwhile, AAA studios can spend thousands of dollars on marketing.

    I don't really get the notion of listening to some marketing department lying through their teeth. It's not like AAA games ever deliver on their marketing promises.

    Unless an indie game goes viral, there’s very little chance that I’ll ever hear about it in order to consider buying it.

    You don't have to go dumpster diving in order to find awesome games, somebody already did. A good starting point is the top rated games list for Steam: https://steamdb.info/stats/gameratings/

    90% of them are indies and there is something for everyone on those 3 pages.

  • So, what did they break this time?

    I don't think I have seen a single SteamVR update on Linux that didn't break something.

  • There's nothing in most of these AAA games to truly love. They're a sea of merely "alright", and they're all way too long.

    But why bother with alright when there's thousands of highly regarded indie games out there for a quarter of the price?

  • You can also use steamcmd or DepotDownloader. It's not DRM just because no website download is available, once they are downloaded they are yours to keep.

  • If they weren't so expensive.

    I could probably swallow the 200 bucks but I'm not going to pay another 90 bucks for shipping/taxes/customs.

  • Video hosting is a money sink, I wouldn't hold my breath that somebody else comes along.

  • It's twice as funny in this game because they added Denuvo a year after release. Meaning all pirates got the game DRM free on day one while paying customers got Denuvo patched in.

    Absolute waste of money.

  • It does, but Sony didn't go through the crash and burn phase on PC yet so they need to add their own fancy overlay before killing it in a few years.

  • As somebody who completely ignored the remake, is it worth getting on sale if I already played the original?

  • just choosing alternative payment methods.

    Probably the better method, no bank is worth going through all that hassle.

  • Do you use Magisk? I assume you have done the following already?

    • Enable Zygisk & the DenyList
    • (If Google apps are installed, deny all Google apps root access)
    • Deny the app in question root access
    • Install PlayIntegrityFix on newer devices OR SafetyNetFix on older devices (don't install both)
    • Reboot, force stop app and clear storage/cache
    • (Check if it works with this and this)

    That should do it for all apps that do not require strong integrity.

  • banking app already don’t let you root or otherwise flash your device so I have given up hope in trying with them

    You can get around that pretty easily by fooling SafetyNet / Play Integrity and hiding root from those apps. My phones have all been rooted for years and I never had issues with banking apps. I don't even run any google services anymore and the apps I use are fine with that.

  • Fedora’s installer is abysmal.

    I thought so too. It doesn't have enough options for power users and too many for newcomers. It caters to a middleground that barely exists.

    Enabling access to proprietary software should also install audio/video codecs.

    The codecs are also the #1 thing that annoy me in Fedora. Because of shitty US patent laws the rest of the world has to suffer.

  • I tried Jellycon briefly when I started but it's unfortunate that it doesn't integrate into the Kodi UI properly, so there's no way to really use the Kodi interface nicely without casting from the Jellyfin app. It more or less just becomes a playback client for the Jellyfin app. If the Jellyfin app wouldn't be such a disaster when casting I probably would be fine with that.

    Might try it again in the future but the Jellyfin app experience is nothing like what Kore or Yatse can do directly with Kodi.

  • Stop recommending questionable open-source like Matrix.

    Synapse and Element are fully open source, there is nothing questionable about it. Having a company backing your project as main developer does not mean it suddenly becomes closed source or said company owns the project now.

    None of the issues you mentioned are a big deal or make Matrix inherently worse than XMPP. The biggest flaw you can pin on Matrix is its performance but they're working on it.

  • CoreELEC is community maintained and the N2+ still receives the latest builds, my last update was just last month.

    However, CoreELEC can be installed on many devices (including some Android TV boxes) that have Amlogic chips. You can see a full list if you to to the download page on the CoreELEC page https://coreelec.org/.

    Also, CoreELEC is not Android, it is Linux running only Kodi. If you need anything besides Kodi you might want to look at another solution or have multiple devices.

  • Kodi still plays via SMB/NFS when configured in direct play mode. Only the metadata is provided via Jellyfin and play progress is synced to Jellyfin.

    The Jellyfin plugin is not the most stable piece of software but it gets the job done.

  • I have been using an Odroid N2+ with CoreELEC installed and the Jellyfin Kodi plugin for years now.

    Plays pretty much everything you throw at it, including 4k HDR HFR.

    Dolby Vision is supported in CoreELEC but only on some devices.
