  • While I do agree these people exist, most people are some mixture of benefiting from, and being harmed by the status quo. To erode support for a mode of production takes both fighting those who are directly against your class interests, and convincing the majority of people that their class interests align with your actions. Often those who feel the most precarity under the current system are it's most ardent defenders, simply because their afraid of loosing what little status they have eked out for themselves.

    Corbyn was sabotaged both by people who rightly saw him as a threat, and by those who didn't see the benefit he could bring them.

  • A mixed system which starts with changing the most socially egregious examples is probably the only politically viable transition; lots of people fear disruption, and it takes time and proving to them that the changes are beneficial.

    I'd suggest beginning with something like Corbyn's Labor had proposed; if a capitalist business is sold or fails, the workers are given first right of refusal and a govt loan is given for them to purchase as a worker cooperative.

  • Kernel modules don't have to be open source provided they follow certain rules like not using gpl only symbols. This is the same reason you can use an NVIDIA driver.

    Its not enforced so much by law as what the fsf and Linux foundation can prove and are willing to pursue; going after a company that size is expensive, especially when they're a Linux foundation partner. A lot of major Linux foundation partners are actively breaking the GPL.

  • I work with SoC suppliers, including Qualcomm and can confirm; you need to sign an NDA to get a highly patched old orphaned kernel, often with drivers that are provided only as precompiled binaries, preventing you updating the kernel yourself.

    If you want that source code, you need to also pay a lot of money yearly to be a Qualcomm partner and even then you still might not have access to the sources for all the binaries you use. Even when you do get the sources, don't expect them to be updated for new kernel compatibility; you've gotta do that yourself.

    Many other manufacturers do this as well, but few are as bad. The environment is getting better, but it seems to be a feature that many large manufacturers feel they can live without.

  • If you're messing with ACLs I'm not sure deduplication will help you much; I believe (not much experience with reflinks) the dedup checksum will include the metadata, so changing ACLs might ruin any benefit. Even if you don't change the ACLs, as soon as somebody updates a game, it's checksum will change and won't converge back when everyone else updates.

    Even hardlinks preserve the ACL... Maybe symlinks to the folder containing the game's data, then the symlinks could have different ACLs?

  • I actually found the opposite with my steam library; on ZFS with ZSTD I only saw a ratio of 1.1 for steamapps, not that there's really any meaningful performance penalty for compressing it.

  • So this is a system-wide DNS hijack for the purpose of filtering and monitoring?

    So say an attacker can enable this service, would they then be able to redirect any DNS query regardless of if DNS over TLS + DNSSEC are configured? Surely I'm reading this wrong

  • Given the user always has a deeper access to the client (i.e. hardware access) than the anticheat dev does, eliminating cheating is probably unsolvable.

    Best bet is probably always going to be a decently funded team dedicated to find and ban cheaters, rather than attempting to prevent them all with a rootkit.

  • Yeah in the short term there are going to be a lot of lose/lose scenarios for them, but this is the stupid prize for playing stupid games with what they released.

    I hope they stock it out, games like No Man's Sky show both that a developer who cares enough to try can earn back the trust of a player base, and that the process to do so requires a lot of work.

  • No, I'm saying that when people run into strange bugs, sometimes they put together an issue (like the person behind cve-rs), and sometimes they quietly work around it because they're busy.

    Seeing as I don't often trawl through issues on the language git, neither really involve notifying me specifically.

    My lack of an anecdote does not equate to anecdotal evidence of no issue, just that I haven't met every rust developer.
