Even with your clarification, I think I touched on that. Steam isn't trying to push companies to develop for Linux, instead they are trying to make Linux more compatible with games. That's why they've talked wine and turned it into a very game specific thing called proton.
If they wanted to push people to develop for Linux, they wouldn't put so much time and effort into developing something that removes that need
Simply put, they don't need to. Linux might be a tiny percentage of the market but thanks largely to steam deck it is growing, which means it's starting to become more worth it for companies to make sure their game works on it.
Secondly, thanks to proton, some games don't even need to be modified to support Linux or the steam deck. I play plenty of games that are listed as unplayable or unverified on my steam deck, and sometimes it is listed that way because of one or two minor things that haven't broken the game for me.
And lastly, as every major company has found out one by one, it's worth it for them to pay the 30% to get access to steam users.
Yes and no... You just don't hear about the Chinese ones as much but there's some that are up there with openai and Google, and there's a very real concern that Trump's policies will allow/encourage the global adoption of Chinese ai like Alibaba and Tencent's ones. There was a whole report recently about the potential effect a popular Chinese ai would have due to it being able to manipulate facts and history, and people just not questioning it
Definitely nothing new, that's been going on since before I got into 3d printing like 7 years ago.
There was a point where having a good first layer was actually critical to having good print bed adhesion and successful prints. 99% of problems were solved by re leveling the bed and/or cleaning it.
Now, with abl and fancy tools like lidar and better bed surfaces, it's not nearly as essentially to get a perfect first layer, but it's still a sign of a well calibrated printer.
I dare say it's one of those things that's just hung around because as waves of new users join the community (especially around times like Xmas when a lot of new people join), they start researching stuff and see older users posting about their first layer and think of it as some kind of rite of passage, so they post theirs.... And then the next group come in and see it, wash rinse repeat....
You'll only get the nasty letters if you use public trackers... I've been on starlink since it came to Australia and never once got a nasty letter or warning or anything, and I don't have any VPN going
There's already a noticeable drop in quality. I bought a big Mac meal recently for the first time in a while, the fries were like toothpicks, and the large fries seemed much smaller than I recall.
The burger had the tiniest dollop of sauce and the patties were so thin they barely held their shape.
I know it's all purely anecdotal, but for years I was hooked on their hash browns until they changed the recipe... And now I can't stand them but at least I'm losing weight so that's good haha
I do vaguely remember something about it getting changed, but yeah, as you said unless you're sharing it with a bunch of people, it's probably not enough to trigger anything on their side anyway
I think theres a nice variety of methods out there now that there's no "one right way" to do it which I think is great compared to just a few years ago where your only real options were a reverse tunnel or CloudFlare tunnels
Yes but also no. the tldr is It will work, but video streaming is against CloudFlare rules. I ran this way for about 2 years with Plex just for my own use, so for about 15 hours a week on 480p and I never got my service suspended, but I've heard stories of others getting suspended.... So just know it's a risk
I suppose it's OK for vaultwarden as there isnt much data being transfered?
That's a good use of tunnels
Would it be better to run nginx proxy manager for everything or can I run both of the solutions?
You can definitely run both solutions (tunnel points to npm, npm towards to all other services), and it saves you setting up tunnels for each service
Now for my 2 cents
As others have suggested, tailscale funnel is a valid option. A reverse proxy using a VPS is also a valid option. And as I pointed out, doing the CloudFlare tunnel is an option if you're willing to accept the risk.
My current setup is using a free Oracle VPS with a small nginx docker container forwarding all port 80 and 443 traffic through a tailscale. On the other end is a nginx proxy manager docker container that points to all my services across the network. I have my CloudFlare details configured in nginx proxy manager to generate a wildcard SSL certificate that I apply to all my local services
Inside the network, I use adguard to redirect the domain to the local LAN IP of the nginx proxy manager server to avoid traffic going through the internet.
Then all you need to do is point the domain on CloudFlare dns to the Oracle server, and you'll have several layers of separation between the internet and your local LAN , as well as SSL certs both internally and externally on any services you share
It might not be the most elegant setup, but I share my Plex server (as well as about 30 other things) with several other people and can handle multiple 1080p streams going through it without any issue and it's been nice and stable for over a year without any issues
I'm curious who is the arbitrator for what's a valid security concern or not. If it's done by an independent group, it might make it harder to get around. If it's self disclosed, then yeah nothing will change
Samsung messages was using RCS since 2012... Years before Google messages adopted it.
There are others out there that use it but call it by different names like "advanced messaging", "SMS+" etc
Google was the first to add e2e encryption and push it hard though, but if you send a RCS message from Google messages to Samsungs messages app, it won't have e2e, and most likely will be the same with messaging Apple.
But given how much Apple have fought to make it hard (or at least inconvenient) to message between them, and shut down any apps that made messaging between Apple and Android better, this is a big step for Apple
It's been a while since I used my resin printer, but I had a similar problem at one point and it came down to the support connection to the print... No matter how many supports I put, it didn't change the outcome, but when I made the support thicker and made the connection point thicker, suddenly I had no more problems... It just meant a little extra post processing on some parts
I don't think people realise how generous steam is by allowing Devs to sell steam keys on other platforms and still handle all the distribution and updates and everything for a key they didn't get paid for, and all they ask is you give the same or better deal to customers who purchase direct through steam
Given that steam let's you sell keys on other platforms (like gog, gmg, etc) and activate them on steam, and have steam handle all the heavy work of file distribution and stuff, it makes sense that steam wouldn't want you to sell steam keys cheaper on other platforms and make them wear all the cost of distribution... Otherwise they'd get no sales and end up with all the expense
The only other choice would be to no longer allow you to get steam keys to sell on other platforms or even to give away for review purposes or things like that.
The article is from a month ago, about a layoff that happened half a month before that, so this all happened before the ai rollout when they were probably still optimistic it was a good idea
If you ever dive into the filth that is r/conservative, you'll see that this has just reenforced their views that he needs to win and they need to do anything to make that happen...I don't think there's anything that could snap that cult out of it at this point
Sure, should we just put it in the signal group chat or...?
