Yes, look at the ars article, there are even links to the patents. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2024/05/jury-finds-activision-blizzard-liable-in-23-4m-patent-infringement-case/

Depending on the software you need and how technical you are, Wine and Bottles may be a solution to not need an VM.

Huh, never heard of it! from what I gathered from the website its a central VPN? Wouldn’t that be overkill for a homelab scenario? Thanks for your response!

Thank you for not only taking the time to answer but also adding quite useful resources. I will look into it!

TIL, benutze zwar seit geraumer Zeit Geizhals aber gut zu wissen.

That seems to be the only viable option. Someday I need to build something like this myself.

I wish this was the case, but my Oneplus Nord does not have any “smart” features.

I am quite impressed by the funders, German state and Mozilla. Wow.

The problem is probably a legality thing. In Germany for example AFAIK people need to be told they are recorded and must accept to this. So by implementing such a feature, you need to adhere to local laws, which differ from country to country and may make it way to complex and dangerous to implement.

This game is a treasure for those lines, gotta search my old screenshots 😁

Ein generelles Verbot nein, ich bin aber dafür einzelne Landesverbände zu verbieten. Thüringen wäre da ein guter Anfang. Wenn die Spitze staatsfeindliche Aussagen trifft, darf sie keine Macht in der Landesregierung erhalten. Damit löst sich dann auch von ganz allein das Problem auf Bundesebene.

Trotzdem muss dazu verstärkt auf politische Bildung gesetzt werden. Das Diskussionen dee Bundesregierung immer als Streit und schlecht angesehen werden, halte ich bereits für ein Scheitern der politischen Bildung. Das gehört in einer Demokratie einfach dazu.

That seems like quite a large endavour. And I’m always a fan of alternatives. One thing I do not fully understand is the, I do not want to selfhost so its federated. Somebody needs to host in the end, why can’t it be you?

Ich bin gerade selber noch dabei mich in das Thema Selhosting einzulesen, deshalb kommt mir deine Frage ganz gelegen.

Unter diesem Link findest du eine riesige Liste an Hostbaren Projekten und Tools. Die ist etwas erschlagend aber sehr hilfreich. Der Link noch mal plain: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted

To improve security of option 1 you could use a keyfile, that is either only transferred manually to devices or stored at a second cloud provider.

Ich nutze ein Samsung Tab A6 Lite. Alt, kommt aber ab Werk mit Stift und kriegt man mittlerweile für okay günstig.

The two main reasons I decided to opt for a VPS was, that I don’t have a PC here that is efficient enough and the faster fresh installs and snapshots are a pro too.

Thanks this is quite helpful!

Since you seem to enjoy JRPGs I can’t recommend Persona 5 enough! Story is at times predictable, but the characters make it worth your time.

If you’re into tactical third person shooters, I can only recommend SOCOM especially the second part! Tactical Squad Based Shooters, where rushing in is seldom the answer.

That’s just such a great image!
