  • I had the same thing on Bazzite just with the local network, not a VPN.

    I believe it has to do with the firewall. You have to open the port both incoming and outgoing for 53317.

    But you literally have to be on the same network, so for example if both devices are on the same local network (hence local in the name) and your phone is on a VPN but your computer is not on a VPN, then it won’t work.

    It should work if you VPN into your local network remotely so that both devices are on the same LAN, however, then that won’t work anyway because you have to have physical access to the device to accept the transfer (you could probably use a remote desktop to do that, but then it is getting complicated)





  • No, ssds have a ton of wear leveling where data is shifted around and not deleted. Deleting data wears out the SSD, so it is held as much as possible with the controller. SSDs are like 10% bigger than advertised just to prolong the life.

    Even if you write the whole thing with random data then zeros, it will still have blocks in unaccessible (to normal users) places that contain old data.

    Always best to use disk encryption or keep any sensitive data in filesystem encryption like plasma vaults or fscrypt.



  • Really depends on what you consider grinding.

    Pretty much all MMOs or PVEs have you grinding for gear (helldivers 2 I don’t feel is grindy in comparison, but some do)

    Survival games like ark, valheim, etc… Have you grinding for bases and the next section of the game

    Pretty much all PvP games (CS2, valorant, apex, starcraft, Rocket league, etc…) have you grinding out muscle memory skills

    The antithesis to these are instance-based games where at max you grind aesthetic gimmicks, but in single player games they don’t have those like REPO where you always reset and fall guys where it is minigame based

    The problem with these games is since you don’t have a “reward for work” (grinding), people get bored of them.






  • Read and think critically. It is all arbitrary. If we cut off people at 18 or 24, why shouldn’t we cut them off at 50? There is scientific evidence both ways.

    Not to mention that IQ is pretty much a farce and completely biased by certain types of education and only measures a small subset of human brain function, The cutoff would also be completely arbitrary.

    Not everything is a personal indictment on you or your beliefs.



  • That is a quite popular opinion judging by the votes. I think they function quite differently, and are useful for different things, which might be more unpopular.

    BSD and MIT are more like “public domain” or “creative commons” licenses. Some people genuinely just don’t care and want literally anyone to use their work.

    Libraries, languages, APIs, OS’s, etc… Work well because they have mass adoption. They have mass adoption (often) because people get the freedom to use them during their paid time. Companies are exploitative and evil, but often their dev and engineer employees aren’t.

    Copy left licenses (GPL, AGPL, CERN-OHL-S to not forget about open source hardware) really shine for end products like hardware, applications, hosted software, games, etc… Where you want to preserve a “unique” end product against theft, exploitation, and commercialization, and really care about having not everyone be able to do whatever they want.




  • They are a massive megacorp though. It always leaves me to wonder “how much”.

    Tons of capitalist companies do stock options where “technically” the employees own a share of the company, though that percentage is usually extremely small, even collectively such that they have no decision power. I can’t help but think that it is similar with huawei, but with better marketing.
