I think once upon a time, some dumb politician used it to announce something dumb and it didn’t work lol

P-state what now? We all know what the real commit was

I’m more cynical, I think it’s just for clout and marketing. IA is widely known and used, so an attack is guaranteed to be noticed and generate news articles. They’re also known for having large robust infrastructure, but they aren’t large enough that an attack is impossible, so a successful attack is impressive yet still feasible. If someone can pull it off, it would make great marketing for their black market DDOS service and also grant huge bragging rights in certain communities.

R6S has been a pay-to-win mess after the first few “seasons”. What’s the difference between a subscription service and regular releases of “optional” $30 dlc that gives you new characters, and thus an edge over the competition?

R6S players will cope by saying characters are balanced and, if you’re good, you can win with just the basic free characters. The fact is, more characters lets you adapt to, and more effectively counter, more maps, play styles, opposing characters, metas, etc…

Yes, you can unlock the characters for free, but there are dozens of them and each one takes a ridiculous number of hours to unlock, during which you’re playing at a disadvantage. It’s pretty much impossible for anyone other than dedicated school-aged kids to unlock all of the characters for free.

All of this, and the game still costs money to buy!!! Complete scam.

Multi-player

That’s more of a Counter Strike clone. The “abilities” are more akin to CS utilities like smokes and flashes than they are to Overwatch characters. The rest of the game is pretty much a direct copy of CS.

I guess the Overwatch market is wide open ever since Overwatch self destructed

Ah, that makes sense. I was thinking more like a mini-m&m tube.

I’m having a hard time envisioning the flexibility required to make that work. It couldn’t have been both at the ends at the same time? Also, did this kid just get naked in front of everyone at their party? To each their own, I guess.

I’ve never used any, but the most popular “Plex request” app is Overseerr. I’ve also heard of Ombi and a quick search revealed one I’ve never heard of, Petio.

If you want a decentralized search, set up a DHT crawler and build a db of millions of torrents in a week or two. If you want anonymity/legal protection, use a trusted VPN. I’m not sure I’d trust a random independent tor-like implementation, especially when the real tor is slow and has imperfect anonymity.

And the Chamber of Commerce has already sued the FTC to block the ban and ofc they picked Texas as the state in which to file their lawsuit.

If you’re worried about unauthorized access to the physical machine, you could always just do disk-level encryption instead or store the app’s data in something like a Veracrypt virtual disk. They’d still be able to access the data if they go through your OS/user, but wouldn’t pick anything up by accessing the drive directly.

Nothing short of E2EE can truly stop someone from accessing your data if they have physical access to the server, but disk encryption would require a targeted attack to break, and no host is wasting their time targeting your meme server. I seriously doubt they’d access it even if you had no encryption at all, since if they get caught doing that they’d get in a heap of legal trouble and lose a ton of business.

Oh, it’s drag-and-drop only with no keyboard support whatsoever. Changing a variable is hidden beneath 12 menus, and it uses a proprietary IDE that locks up after every click. Looks great in screenshots though!

You can 100% fire all your developers!*

*As long as your business users have loads of free time and the skillset of developers.

Is DDOSing really a problem anymore? Any CDN worth their salt should handle even massive DDOS attacks no problem.

You are not too young! Lemmy needs everyone of every age/demographic

Just buy our vendor’s/partner’s SaaS solution and all of this magically goes away!

Plenty of comments hurt my brain trying to comprehend how utterly stupid they are, but I don’t think there’s anything an anonymous stranger could say that would hurt my feelings, that kinda stuff needs to be personal.

MFW I start a single player game

This article is actually pretty awesome! Definitely taking some notes for when my role requires management.
