After having a good month financially, I've decided it's time to go back to having 2 screens, bought a 27" 240hz 1k screen and it is sickeningly amazing after using 60hz for 33 years. I didn't bother getting a 4k screen because I couldn't have done 240fps in that resolution anyways.

@martijn thing is, they *broke* the *workaround* intentionally, because it would make bruteforcing easy if you had the services running on an public interface (for whatever ungodly reason)

Yep the Too many requests issue still happen with the 0.0.0.0 approach, need to see about forking mastodon to reenable the possibility of 127.0.0.1 without ratelimiting.

@dukethinrediv lol fritz powerline be like: yeah i can confirm we have a 700mbit/s connectivity to each other shown via webinterface, also fritz powerline: 180mbit/s download rate. like.. what?

@dukethinrediv the electricity is 1 year old and is one circuit so that should be ideal circumstances, might give the fritz ones a shot and return them if it isn't better.

Does anyone know if a 120€ Fritz powerline adapter is any faster than a 40€ TPLink powerline adapter? Bought the latter *gbit* adapter and throughput is 250mbit.

Made the pc preference wlan over ethernet so if I wanna download something with 750mbit i turn on wlan, then if I prefer a more stable connection (for vrdesktop for example) i switch back to 250mbit ethernet.

I could also just put a cable canal up the ceiling and around a corner to my router but nah.

Short downtime due to a vulnerability + updating mastodon

This months #humblebundle Choice managed to have 8 games which I don't own, typically it hits 2 to 3 games I already have.

@martijn is it past their weird forking using massive amounts of memory ooor nah

@notaleman yeah, I'll try again in a year or so when the open source NVIDIA drivers simmered and Wayland matured a bit. I was pleasantly surprised by how good Lutris and wine/proton have become.

@notaleman yeah I had those aswell, not my first Linux desktop experience, I've heard that NVIDIA Wayland support is currently in a questionable state. Used endeavourOS with KDE.

@billy Pico 4

Took me only one day to go back crawling to #Windows. There were *so* many small unresolveable issues with #Linux that I went like "yeah I appreciate it being fast, cool, customizeable, aur is the goat and all but nah, not worth the hassle and issues I experienced." Biggest issue was probably the wonky as hell wlan driver, as soon as I was uploading with 5% of my bandwidth my ping would go 4 digits, causing the network to drop completely at times, plus it rendered my vr headset useless.

After using Windows for a couple of years because *im a gamer at heart* I switched to #EndeavourOS, besides Parsec hosting no longer working (switched to steamlink for remote access) and VRDesktop no longer being a valid option for wireless vr, I have zero drawbacks. FFXIV, WoW, Diablo 2 Resurrected, Factorio, Pax Dei, ASKA, Halo all just works and sometimes even a tad better. Plus im not being constantly spied on and can change every little ounce of the system. Giving #btrfs a spin.

Bought a fan on offer after the last 2 days being like 40 degrees celsius. Very good decision.

@jf as a "security feature" actually. In case you had your internal mastodon processes on an external IP for whatever unholy reason, spoofing 127.0.0.1 would allow you to brute force passwords and more fun stuff. So nothing that even remotely impacted us.

@lucasmz ah.. damn that sucks. It has to do with changing the way media gets delivered here now(switched from local to minio instance), I will have to do a redirect so older posts keep their media. Thanks for letting me know, I didn't think about that earlier.

@lucasmz weird... That's not the case however if you go to https://ieji.de/@SolSoCoG directly or is it?

@lucasmz wait what do you mean? 😂

Ah yes btw if you are on a very #privacy aware instance, which just doesn't want to save your IP info in the first place, don't wonder that you might get a notification that you logged in from a new IP: 0.0.0.0, that's the new IP cloaking meta since they've put a rate limit on 127.0.0.1 in the last Mastodon version.
