  • I’ve watched two people online play the game and both pretty much slammed it. It should absolutely have been free with the console. Is $10 really disposable enough income to spend on what is essentially an ad for the console you’ve already bought and a handful of minigames? 7/10 is a wild score to give it, but I guess reviewers get these games for free anyway so price doesn’t matter.


  • It’s relatively trivial, you just need to write a kernel module. You’d just need/want to make it gpl so everything it does is fully audited and transparent. That’s not a problem, is it? Right?

    From a technical standpoint, you could argue that someone could create a fork of the kernel that spoofs the interface that the anticheat uses to make it ignore things. You can, of course, also do something similar in Windows, but security theatre never let practicality get in the way.


  • Daily backups. Then you can have as much wild ambition as you like. Disk failures do not care for your permissions bits anyway.

    Practically though, one thing I find that’s a good habit to get into is to use rmdir on directories that you know should be empty instead of rm -rf. If you’ve made a mistake and try to delete the wrong folder, it’ll error out.














  • It still looks like you’re relying on IP addresses, which means if you want to host a Plebbit server (sorry, “always on peer”) you need one of the following:

    • Use a hosting provider, which is something you want to avoid according to your pitch.
    • Serve it from your own personal network under your own IP. Given that you’re worried about censorship from even the DNS system, I imagine this is something you absolutely don’t want to do.

  • Imagine Bob is hosting a community about cat pictures, and I want to send him a picture of my cat to forward to other followers of that community.

    How do I:

    • Locate bob given a name or some other ID
    • Verify that it is indeed Bob (and not someone pretending to be Bob)
    • Prove to Bob that I am indeed who I say I am
    • Send that cat picture without anyone in the middle snooping on it

    All of this in a political environment that bans the sharing of cat pictures.
