Encryption help

preview

So like a doofus, ive never really done encryption on any of my PCs/drives. With the way stuff is going, now I want all of it encrypted. The issue is I have so much data from over the years and everything ive read says it deletes everything when you encrypt.

For me it would mostly be my desktop and my nas.

Is it really a matter of, I’m gonna have to buy a whole bunch more HDDs to copy everything over to, encrypt, copy it all back? What’s the best (Linux) software for a mass copy task like that to be sure it works correctly?

Laura Fryer - HR is killing Games

www.youtube.com
preview

Laura Fryer gives a fairly scathing review of HR’s encroachment and obvious power grab to be less “day to day” and more to (verbatim) be “at the same level or above the CEO”.

Video goes into how HR makes toxic work environments that demonize ever speaking out or questioning anything, and the toxic positivity that holds games back.

From HR -> “People and Culture” -> “Chief Disruptors”

Authors Twitter: x.com/demk0814

The manga centers on Kurumi Fukuka, a college student who will make her debut on the foreign exchange market in order to recover the 20 million yen (about US$126,000) her late mother lost in that market. She believes that it will be easy to get back that money, and with that goal in mind, she jumps into a world where things can turn from heaven to hell in an instant. Unrealized losses and loss-cutting, a racing heart that won’t stop… Despite this, she wants to buy, sell, and earn. She is joined by other “FX fighters,” and the market heats up. Kurumi continues to play a cute and slightly dangerous money game as charts swing back and forth. Can Kurumi and her friends survive in this raging world?

Modder exploits GeForce NOW to run a full Windows desktop through a simple file swap

www.tomshardware.com
preview

By swapping a game binary for a modified one that gives access to the desktop he was able to trick the system into thinking he was playing authorized material, and even got local AI models to run on the 48GB VRAM a6000 card that powers the system. I can’t imagine this hole will go unpatched for long though.

Paperweight v0.5: Map your digital footprint, with pii analysis, and GDPR tracking

preview

A few months ago I shared Paperweight here. An open-source desktop app that scans your inbox to map out your digital footprint.

Every account you create, every service you sign up for, every online purchase is connected to your email address. Most people have 100+ accounts they’ve forgotten about, creating security risks and privacy exposure.

Local-first. Your inbox is scanned on your own device, your data never leaves it, and there is no account or cloud component.

Since last time, a lot has changed:

  • New pii analysis engine to check addresses, phones, IBANs, national IDs, cards, and more
  • Improved multi-language lexicons for better classification
  • Track GDPR data requests you send fromPaperweight
  • Improved sync, receiver, hide-my-email aliases, and message tagging
  • Fully verified builds for Apple, Windows and Gmail OAuth connections
  • Several minor improvements and bug fixes

Darksiders 4 & the next game in the Kingdom Come franchise are expected to release in FY 2027/28 (April 2027 - March 2028)

I opted to link to Wario64, because he already pulled out the stuff we’re interested in from a pretty dry report. The next Kingdom Come is expected to be titled “Salvation”, and based on the development timeline, I would expect it to reuse some characters and locations from KCD2 but probably not Henry of Skalitz.

Looking for players for a Savage Worlds game on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday

preview

Hello! I am looking for more players for a weekday game, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday starting around 7:00 - 9:00 PM CET and lasting around 3 hours with a break part way through.

I am liking the idea of running savage worlds which presents itself as “fast, furious, fun” but I have a variety of systems that I’m comfortable running. (No D&D, Path/Starfinder)

You build characters by selecting attributes, skills, and feats. To accomplish something you roll a dice (1d4 - 1d12) based on the appropriate skill trying to get a 4 or higher, if you get 8,12 (etc.) You are able to critically succeed. All dice explode, meaning if you roll the highest number on a dice (a 4 on a 1d4, 6 on a 1d6, etc.) you reroll and add it the previous roll(s).

I plan to use the setting book “Vermilium” which is dark fantasy + western + post-post apocalypse (the image touchstones include: Tri-gun, Outlaw Star, Steel Ball Run, Cowboys & Aliens, El Topo, Wild Wild West, and the Pathfinder setting Alkenstar).

I have been running TTRPG games for fediverse folks for a few years now and have previously run (Cyberpunk Red, Shadowrun 5e, Lancer, The Burning Wheel, Pathfinder 2e, Shadowdark, Ars Magica, Masks, Delta Green, Mothership)

I have previous experience with the above as well as D&D 5e, Blades in the Dark, Monster of the Week, ICONS, Starfinder and Vampire the Masquerade 5e.

I tend to run according to the rules more than homebrew, am more merciful than antagonistic, rely on prep more than improv, faction over disparate NPCs, lower amounts of explicit violence/gore, complex encounters, slow burn terror over horror.

We use Discord for voice & session scheduling and Roll20 for the virtual table top, it is a dedicated discord server and I’m happy to help folks with roll20.

I will provide all the rules needed and we will have a session 0.5 where we go over some of the safety tools I like to use (X-Card & Lines and Veils), make characters and with whatever remaining time we will jump into the game.

I have a hard line with Romance/Sexual content, and Young Children. There are veils for Extreme Violence, Torture, Adolescent Children and Player vs Player.

Feel free to respond here or DM me.

Thanks for reading and let me know if you are interested.

Is Craigslist purposefully being attacked?

preview

Consider that Meta’s Marketplace is the largest competitor. Immediately after they launched, they quickly capitalized on their Identity Verification natural monopoly on online social networking. This was ‘pivoted’ into “Identity Verification Assurance” for your average Playstore and iPhone users.

Marketplace wasn’t even easier to use than Craigslist, 99% of the arguments for using it were “it’s safer because it’s less scams”.

I wouldn’t put it beneath Zuck and his bootlickers to pay a few bitcoins to maintain an artifically inflated number of scams on Craigslist.

It reinforces the mistaken belief that scams are driven by anonymity (instead of the truth that you can have all their data and the justice department will look the other way… that’s why they keep doing it until they scam Grant Hudson of McLean, VA).

Anyway, the faster CL dies the sooner Meta consolidates a monopoly on electronic flea marketing or whatever it’s called.

Day 757 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

preview

Today’s game is Assassin’s Creed Revelations. I went and finished the main story. The Main Story makes me just feel the need to ask, why are the main games like 13 sequences? Like, i love the long stories but i find these games with only 9 sequences to also be perfectly serviceable. It definitely helped a lot with playing them back to back and feels a lot less like there was a crunch too.

Also from what i understand, Brotherhood and Revelations were smaller games meant to keep up the annual release of the franchise until 3 was finished. I wish they had kept doing that if they insist on the yearly release. Give us some direct sequels that are smaller in size and scope and give the “big” sequel more time in the oven. I can’t help but feel like having one studio dedicated to an individual release so we get one release a year is hurting the games.

I also wanted to mention that i loved the whole segment with Ezio and Altair. Followed by Ezio talking to Desmond. I love that it’s doing all the weird ass time stuff without messing with time travel. Plus i loved Ezios speech to Desmond.

Anyways, i found a way to get ahold of the DLC for this and play it, so i want to do that. I only have a little bit left at this point to 100% though so i think i want to do that first. The main struggle has just been getting 7 Master Assassins. It’s a lot of waiting around here for them to level up. Admittedly if i was going to do this though i should have done it earlier. This one is kind of on me i feel.

Anyone know of any BeaconLink projects?

Seems this is for One+ and Oppo, but with alt Android OSes like Lineage, would be nice to have it back and available. I’m too dumb to code and prefer not to vibe code it. Unfortunately, I installed lineage almost immediately when I got this phone, and am missing a lot of features I didn’t look into until now.

Edit: since this was for Oppo, One+ received capability with an update, making me think this special protocol would work for anyone’s device. No special hw required. Maybe there’s a way to dump the app/feature files from a ROM to build into an app?

I created "Slingshot Speeders" which is a free browser 2d top down racing game using realistic orbital mechanics

i.imgur.com
preview

masland.tech/slingshot-speeders/

No account required! Your goal is to get your orbit into the green zone as quickly as possible using as little fuel as possible. For anyone who’s played games like Kerbal Space Program, you should know exactly the vibe.

If you have any suggestions or feature requests, please let me know. I hope to add PvP real time racing soon with rounds, more chaotic maps that have moving gravity wells, and more! (maybe even combat?) Currently there is a leader board for best score.

It uses Rust Bevy 0.19 and is compiled to WASM in the browser, purely server side authority, impossible to cheat or manipulate the server state from the client side. A full client-server architecture and client prediction system.

Thanks for playing!
