Well, you have to host your free open-source VPN software somewhere. And then, (N. B.: technical and usability stuff aside, I'm talking only about privacy bits here) everything boils down to two equally nightmarish options. First, you

You've come to a wrong place to ask. Most people here (judging by recommendations of own VPN instances, Tor, Tailscale/other Wireguard-based VPNs, and Mullvad) don't have any experience with censorship circumvention. Just loo

Mullvad doesn't really have any modern censorship circumvention options.

I'd wish there were movement for the privacy-conscious services to escape any regulation, not just choose the currently-politically-correct one. Like piracy sites did in 00-10s (abuse-proof hosting in Ecuador, shady domain registrar fr

The OP was specifically talking about hue. Hue does not change due to PWM.

by reisse 1y ago
This is due to different CRI (basically, how even light output is distributed across wavelengths), not due to PWM.

> Modern users have high DPI displays, variable refresh rates, multiple monitors, and panels with HDR color space support. X11 was just never going to work well for this. KDE Plasma 6.3, on the other hand, handles any of these situations

Even if they did (which is questionable for me, because although a lot of embedded did jump to Wayland pretty fast, the maintaners never stated their goal is any less than replacing the whole X), they had a lot of time to pivot and rethink

by reisse 1y ago
I have a harsh opinion - the real problem with Wayland is that its authors and/or maintainers are *nix geeks, who never used anything more complex than X11 on an IBM Thinkpad with a maybe second 4:3 monitor attached. And they daily dri

If we had control of library code, we'd just get rid of select()... Though we did use the dup trick in another case!

Oh the real fun thing is when the select() is not even in your code! I remember having to integrate a closed-source third-party library vendored by an Australian fin(tech?) company which used select() internally, into a bigger application w

by reisse 1y ago
You've had a good chance to really see 4096 descriptions in select() somewhere. The man is misleading because it refers to the stubbornly POSIX compliant glibc wrapper around actual syscall. Any sane modern kernel (Linux; FreeBSD; NT (

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but I'm too curious not to ask: is having censorship circumvention out of the box a non-goal for Mullvad? Because there are VPNs with good censorship circumvention tech, and there are VPNs with good priv

Why not just use Linux then? The whole point of Windows right now is having a kernel that a) does not shove GPL down the device manufacturer's throat and b) care about driver API stability so that drivers actually work without manufact

Eh, million dollars would not raise a single eyebrow from an exchange side. Your bank, maybe, will have some questions about the transaction, but the things they can do to prevent you spending your money are thankfully fairly limited.

Of course it's highly unlikely they'll go in court for a single user, but if everyone starts doing this, they'll sue. It doesn't matter the payment failed, you still legally owe Adobe (or any other service) money.
