My Tailscale was broken for the past month and I only just fixed it yesterday, and today this patch is released that would have made it a non-issue.

Updating my BIOS caused the issue. The main problem was that Tailscale's behaviour was very poor in this case. It simply got stuck "Starting" and never provided any error information.

The percentages should be counting upwards for the departments that are currently operational, instead they are currently static :)

They're all hosted via on the Internet Archive and embedded into the page, I couldn't really put all the images inside my Git repository my blog is hosted from, and wanted permanent hosting. If it's slow I can't help that unfortunately sorry.

Rules on Re-Submission?

issung — Wed, 25 Dec 2024 00:03:24 +0000

Yesterday I posted a project I thought was really cool but it sadly didn't get much traction.

My experience on Twitter is you have to try and find the right time to post things to get the best traffic.

What's the rules on re-submission here? I figure I could post it again with a 12 hour offset from the last post's time to target the opposite timezone. If that doesn't work out, I'll just deal with it :)

Hi everyone. Today I finished my latest project which was archving 1584 photos (+2 videos) of LAN parties in Tasmania ranging from 1996 to 2010. Previously these photos were lost to time until I got in contact with the right people. Looking through the photos is a great blast of nostalgia, I hope you get some enjoyment from looking through them too!

New comment by issung in "Why anti-cheat software utilizes kernel drivers (2020)"

issung — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 23:43:50 +0000

Valorant (game using kernel anti-cheat) is made by Riot Games, which is owned by Tencent (since 2011) a Chinese company with heavy ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

[1] "According to a report by Sina Tech in October 2017, Tencent employed over 7,000 members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ... "With over 7,000 CCP members, accounting for approximately 23% of the total workforce, and more than 60% of whom are core technical personnel, the number of CCP members at Tencent is increasing by nearly a thousand every year." [2] "The Tencent Party Member Activity Center has a dedicated CCP member activity area of more than 6,000 square meters. More than 1 million yuan is allocated for CCP activities per year."

As someone who plays games every day, with ~3000 hours in Counter Strike at a decently high level. I've only ever encountered blatant hackers maybe 3 times in the last 10 years. I definitely do not care enough to start allowing random companies Kernel level access to my machine.

Having someone in arms reach to help out that knows the inner workings of Git so much must be a lovely perk of working on such projects at companies of this scale.

A community project to archive PlayStation 2 save game icon assets, and make them viewable/downloadable for free in your browser! We've built a small community and are approaching the 20% archival mark :)

New comment by issung in "Stability.ai – Introducing Stable Video 3D"

issung — Tue, 19 Mar 2024 00:22:09 +0000

> Stable Video 3D (SV3D) is a generative model based on Stable Video Diffusion that takes in a still image of an object as a conditioning frame, and generates an orbital video of that object.

So can it actually output a 3d model? Or just images of what it thinks the object would look like from other angles?

Alright I'm convinced, I'm using postgres for my next project. Anyone have any experiences with it and Entity Framework Core?

He seems to note that the fridge is french-door a hell of a lot, does this actually impact the cooling mechanics, making them more complicated and prone to break? Or is it just a coincidence all of the overly complicated fridges happen to be french door because they look "fancier"? Fridge experts please weigh in.

Anyone working on an Android port yet? I might try my hand at a React Native port as a learning experience. Or is Flutter better?

Forgive the unrelated reply, but can you actually downvote on this site? I only have an up arrow next to everything.
