I feel bad buying things DRM’ed, so I very rarely do, and not for myself. I don’t want to fund that. Feels much better funding DRM free work.

I’m not sure that’s true of TV series. I’m not arguing for monopoly by the way. Exclusives are anticompetitive and that’s bad!

Isn’t that an argument of monopoly by Netflix would be better?

Any UTC type is going to do native time and convert for display.

But with native time directly, you can just an int64 with loads of space for fine resolution via multiplication.

Storing time broken up into separate units is crazy.

The only code with timezones should be the bit squishy meat bags touch. Everything’s is should be UNIX time. Or it you are unfortunate enough to be on Windows, NT time.

Some unfortunate programmers already have to deal with the speed of time not being a constant. In a distant future, timestamps might always have a universal position (and speed), and is that much different from timezones?

Or we find some way of removing time distortion of physics. Find the universe’s real systick. 😃

On the PS3 cell processor vector units, any NaN meant zero. Makes life easier if there is errors in the data.

That’s pretty neat. Game streaming isn’t that different. It basically loads the adjacent scene blocks ready for you to wonder in that direction. Some load in LOD (Level Of Detail) versions of the scene blocks so you can see into the distance. The further away, the lower the LOD of course. Also, you shouldn’t really keep the same origin, or you will hit the distort geometry issue. Have the origin as the centre of tha current block.

I just gave up fighting. There is no system that is going to both fast and infinitely precision.

So long ago I worked in a game middleware company. One of the most common problems was skinning in local space vs global space. We kept having customers try and have global skinning and massive worlds, then upset by geometry distortion when miles away from the origin.

I’m pretty sure they do, but the key word there is “old”.

As a programmer who grew up without a FPU (Archimedes/Acorn), I have never liked float. But I thought this war had been lost a long time ago. Floats are everywhere. I’ve not done graphics for a bit, but I never saw a graphics card that took any form of fixed point. All geometry you load in is in floats. The shaders all work in floats.

Briefly ARM MCU work was non-float, but loads of those have float support now.

I mean you can tell good low level programmers because of how they feel about floats. But the battle does seam lost. There is lots of bit of technology that has taken turns I don’t like. Sometimes the market/bazaar has spoken and it’s wrong, but you still have to grudgingly go with it or everything is too difficult.

I always assumed this would happen, so had a second account. Which had a special email address both of which I only used via Tor and private brower mode.

It’s data that could have value, so I doubt they don’t store it. I think the movie studios didn’t offer enough. Or Reddit thought it was too damaging for this particular sale.

No, stunnel is go othere end. If you doing only the client end, you.don’t need it.

In your .ssh/config you want something like:

Host my-ssh-ssl Hostname us01.ssh0.net User sshocean-p1r4t2br Password myparrot2 Port 443 ProxyCommand ~/.ssh/https-tunnel.sh %h %p

Then you have a ~/.ssh/https-tunnel.sh something like:

#!/usr/bin/env bash { printf “GET /HTTP/1.1\r\nHost:$1\r\nUpgrade:websocket\r\n”; cat } | openssl s_client -connect $1:$2 -servername $1

That last bit, -servername is the SNI bit, if you need it. BUT I think that payload might be for port 2083. I think 443 might be just the OpenSSL connect directly.

So does using maglinks, it exists in git-annex. It’s just the torrent client is super crap. Great idea, poorly implemented.

Not sure exactly what you are after, but would stunnel4 do? You can use it to hide SSH with SSL and then use SNI so that a specific website name is SSH and others something else. You can probably do it with Apache or NGINX to if there is real websites too.

Client wise, just normal ssh, but with a custom config for that host with:

ProxyCommand openssl s_client -connect %h:%p

Edit: NGINX : http://nginx.org/en/docs/stream/ngx_stream_ssl_preread_module.html

Edit: Apache : https://trofi.github.io/posts/295-ssh-over-https.html

Bet they love Tor then…

Though maybe faster to have a VPS somewhere else. Maybe do a VPN from there.

They aren’t going to block ssh.

Git really should be married with bittorrent for large files. At the moment it’s GFS which requires large central storage, which doesn’t really fit with git. Should be maglinks.

Well you could do it with LibreDraw. But it depends on how much editing you want to do.

For just annotating : https://itsfoss.com/annotate-pdf-linux/

To be honest, I just do LibreDraw or PDFArranger, but I’m either adding/removing pages, or doing more editing than annotating.

LibreDraw is pretty good at opening PDFs. It’s one way it’s better than Inkscape. PDFArranger is good for adding and removing pages.
