What kind of firewall do you have? (Not on the VM, though something similar might work there also)
I use OPNSense and have an allow rule for the specific IP and port my VPN uses from that VM’s IP. Then a block everything from the VM IP after the allow.
I can connect to the VPN no problem, updates and everything work through the VPN. When it goes down it trys to connect normally and fails.
DNS can be a problem when trying to connect to the VPN so make sure to use the IP
Am I correct in my understanding that Volition was doing fine but Embracer group fucked around with their money and now has to sacrifice a company that didn’t do anything wrong in order to save themselves?
I‘m not sure if I‘m missing something, but I‘d be really surprised if Volition was doing fine. Agents of Mayhem didn‘t do well at all and the Saints Row reboot was pretty terrible. Their last somewhat successful launch was probably the Saints Row 4 expansion back in 2015.
It‘s always sad to see a developer shut down, especially one with such history. But I can honestly understand closing a studio which hasn‘t had any great release for over eight years.
By “fucked around with their money” is that perhaps a leveraged buyout? That’s what killed Toys R Us, and various other major high street brands, and it’s also what’s been happening to Twitter.
Edit: Apparently not. Embracer acquired Volition in 2013 after THQ went bankrupt and they put it under the Deep Silver subsidiary, then in 2022 Embracer moved moved Volition over to Gearbox, and then recently a multi-billion deal Embracer had lined up fell through so now they’re cutting costs and Volition ended up on the block. So maybe not so sinister, this one - the studio has been in decline since Agents of Mayhem in 2017.
I’ll forget I’m a hyper intelligent demigod for a moment and slum it with you mortals over this jovial exercise.
Mine was Diablo IV. Thought it would rekindle my memories of rotting away at Diablo for significant parts of my life, and if I didn’t buy it at release I’d miss all the comradery and special events…biggest gaming purchase regret of recent memory. Of course I’m the type to not give up on something, so I blew past the playtime return window just enough to realize it’s the same addiction of lacklustre gameplay bolstered by occasional dopamine hits that I have to kick every time a new Diablo game gets released.
It was meant to mock the posts explaining how OP misused the term fomo, but it clearly didn’t land the way I expected it to at the time. I might have been tipsy.
Well the management are out of a job now, too. However in this case it’s the parent company that shut them down, because of the parent company’s financial troubles.
The other side of that coin is that employees can quit without notice.
Though really it’s not a balanced relationship. Businesses can absorb the loss of an employee much better than an individual can absorb the loss of a job.
The employees are still probably getting a layoff package, and they can file for unemployment, so it’s not like they’re out on the street, fortunately. We do have some protections in the US.
I’ve noticed plenty of torrents that don’t work right if you require encryption in your torrent client. If the client you used on Arch has encryption disabled by default but the Mint client has encryption mandated by default, this would explain the difference.
Some of this will have some bias because of my own experience, but for me the best setup has been with:
Apple TV 4K - It has apps for both Steam Link and Moonlight, generally has low Bluetooth latency, and the wireless and wired network adapters are great at getting low latency.
if you’d rather avoid Apple, the Nvidia Shield is another good option, it supports those apps as well. I just personally found the experience smoother on ATV.
the chrome cast ultra can be a good first step. I just can’t remember how different the base model is. But try finding Moonlight app.
Regarding software, Steam Link is the easiest to set up because it is integrated with steam, but sometimes you get encoding artifacts, and you have less control over setting the best bitrate for your network. I do like the network connection graph it has in the configuration settings though.
So check out Sunshine to stream from your pc, supports AMD cards as well. And then the Moonlight app.
I usually use what’s available, and has the best file size for the quality. h265 is usually the best in this regard, but I look forward to more av1 encoded content. My Jellyfin server runs on my old school computer, whicj I could buy cheaply from my school, but since it has a sub-1080p screen, it works best as a server with built in UPS for me. It also has quicksync, so I’ve never had to think about which codecs my clients support.
That’s more secure than most setups, the VPN with killswitch will defeat any and all attacks you’re likely to encounter if you don’t open files on that same VM.
Oh that’s one I haven’t heard in a while, maybe I’ll give it a shot too, thanks!
I have not gotten cloudstream to work
For the extensions you mean?
I successfully got them from cloudstream[dot]on[dot]fleek[dot]co/repos/ it seems like that website hasn’t been taken down yet and hopefully it won’t “ever”, since, as I understand, it relies to some extent on the IPFS, though I don’t know how that works exactly
file or disk encryption is only for protecting against attackers with physical access to the machine your VM is running on. Getting files from your server to local storage you should still use a secure connection and encrypted traffic to prevent ISP snooping, but going extreme on file encryption isn’t necessary unless you’re downloading actual heinous shit (CSAM) in which case you should go to jail.
Why would you need file encryption?
Not like having a drive full of movies is illegal…Except if OP has CSAM stuff inside. Than it should be very encrypted in case of loosing (or not depending if OP wants jail time).
Holy shit yeah lol. Obviously nothing like that! I was confused as well why anything other than the generic Linux full disk encryption would be needed.
This would be in a server closet, so not on drives that I would be transporting copyrighted media into other countries anyways.
Not like I don’t agree. Those vile people should.
But something like that or actually confidential stuff you don’t want others to see is a valid reason to encrypt it.
FDE is for physical attackers, it would have nothing to do with torrenting unless you’re really intending on pissing off every single criminal legal authority and not just worried about civil suits from copyright holders.
Nah. If you piss off the executive branch in your country, then they can more likely than not force you to hand over the decryption key. Plausible deniability doesn’t exist when an encrypted drive of likely illegal content chills there in your room.
