What made them win if not their tactics? If the terrorism didn't work, what did?

I could throw soup on a painting,

Yes, evidently they managed to do it

or I could spray paint a billionaire's mansion.

You'd get arrested before ever reaching the wall.

I could paint Stonehenge,

Yes, evidently

or I could sue the polluters.

In the court the polluters have stacked themselves? Let me know how that goes. The polluters have more money and lawyers than you.

The people deciding the laws are bought.

I could deface historical artifacts,

Yes

or I could lobby a politician.

What with all the millions you just have laying around? Lol get real.

I suggest you introspect as to why the potential (or even actual) damage of artifacts makes you so angry. Why don't all the artifacts that were lost to time make you angry as well? I understand feeling disappointed if one ever gets destroyed, but you seem much more agitated than that. That anger can be easily manipulated by your environment to make you do things against your self interest.

Ah yes, famously nothing of note happened before then.

Force resize externally linked images? Generate thumbnails of externally linked images? in c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml
[–] themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This resizing is done by pictrs at runtime, when you request the image. Unless the external image host also uses pictrs, you can't do this with any other host, no.

Hello, does anyone here know how to run Alan Wake (Original Steam release) well with Proton? in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world
[–] themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Protondb says to use proton 7.x, but the rest doesn't seem to happen to anyone else:

Has Google Search gotten so much worse in the last couple of weeks? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

A vpn is not a proxy and cannot do anything to protect you beyond changing your exit point. You are not anonymous using a vpn, especially not with any vpn that has servers in a five eyes country.

If you're logged in a vpn that's also true of the vpn, and all these measures are not stopping FAANGS

Linux can mount windows drives (I don't recommend it, but it can if you need a file).

Windows cannot mount Linux drives (in theory ext2fsd can do it but it's massive pain and it no longer works for me).

If you install a game, either it works on Linux out of the box (it's native) or it works under proton, in which case steam will take care of that for you in most cases and at worst you have to change a single setting. Visit protondb to learn what games work and don't work on Linux.

Smarttube next is the bleeding edge beta version, it gets fixed much faster and supposedly has more bugs though I've never ran into one

Looking for router recommendations with SFP ports (sh.itjust.works)
 

hey all, i'm looking to replace my isp's router (i know that i can, it's basically just DHCP on a specific VLAN) with my own one and i'm looking for recommendations.

here's what i would need out of it:

  • best price-to-performance ratio. the larger the NAT table it can keep in RAM the better (i run some things akin to ipv4 scanning)
  • OpenWRT support
  • at least one sfp port for internet access, supporting 5Gb/s.
  • at least one 1 Gb/s ethernet port
  • ideally 2-3 100Mb/s ethernet ports
  • wifi support: yes (don't need anything fancy, even 5GHz is optionnal but preffered)
  • LTE modem: dont care but nice to have

i had a look around the OpenWRT supported devices table but since it doesn't really list ports and i need sfp, it takes a long time to go through and read german router pages.

can anyone recommend a router that meets these at least partially?

I have submitted an informal PR to fix images not rotating properly when posting (sh.itjust.works)
 

If you're a Lemmy dev and reading this, the problem is in pict-rs. I have sent an email to asonix with the needed changes, please tell them to check their inbox (since I can't register on their git server, I can't submit a formal PR).

Send me a PM if the email gets lost and I'll give you the line you need.

If you're not a Lemmy dev: Have you encountered an image that is suspiciously rotated here on Lemmy? Perhaps you even tried posting an image that looks right yourself and found it rotated itself! Why?!

The reason is that Lemmy strips all metadata from images you upload to it. This is because image metadata can contain, among other things, GPS coordinates or where it was taken. The problem is that when you take a picture with your phone in landscape, instead of rotating the image in memory, your phone saves the image sideways (because that's how it came off the sensor) and then adds a metadata tag that tells everyone to rotate the image as they are displaying it. You guessed it, that tag also gets deleted. In most cases, this is fine because either the picture wasn't rotated to begin with, or Lemmy image hosts actually save the properly rotated image before stripping the tag, but in some image formats, this isn't the case due to a programming oversight. I have found the fix and sent it to the person responsible for the image hosting code.
