The direction of your change doesn’t matter, the GPL license under which the program was already given out is not revocable.

If all copyright holders agree you can grant a different license in addition to the first one, or you can stop offering one license and start offering another one, all the new changes that were never offered under the first one will then only be publicly available under the new license.

But anyone who received the code at a specific time with a GPL license can keep it, modify it, distribute it onwards with the same license and so on, no matter what new terms the copyright holders begin to offer to other people later.

I can’t be on Reddit, but I like the branching comment format and thematic post grouping ideas I learned there.

pfSense would be a better choice than OpenWrt

I heard pfSense had a hard time with wireless radios, and that’s where OpenWrt shines comparably. Is that not true?

Packet loss occurs when a router has to drop some packets because the buffer to store them is running out because the link where they are supposed to go is overloaded.

Bufferbloat is the issue where you make your queues too deep, i.e. you allocate too much RAM to buffering, while the cause of the buffering still exists, so the deeper queue just fills up anyway, so you haven’t improved anything, and have induced extra latency on the packets that do make it trough.

Deep buffers can help in situations where you have a step down in link speed, but only bursty and not sustained overloading of the slower output link.

The big bottleneck in router hardware is more about TCAM or HBM memory used to store the FIB of the global routing table. Since the table has grown so much the devices with less high speed memory can’t hold the table anymore, and if they start swapping the FIB to normal memory your routing performance goes to shit.

So not all of your concerns seem to apply to this class of device, but of course you’re right, The Register should have mentioned the RAM.

what can I do on the LAN when the internet gateway is down

Access your NAS from your workstation or your media PC.

Can confirm. I’ve seen this on multiple boards. I think this was Asus nomenclature.

Depends on which instance you use for your client, I would say. For me only discuss.tchncs.de gets to see my IP address, and Milan Ihl, our admin, as well as his Lemmy server, are in Germany.

This means two things:

• You can shop for a location of home instance that you deem Nintendo-safe
• Nintendo would have to multiply its legal efforts many times over and through different jurisdictions if they wanted to get all users of a community, which might affect their effort-value-considerations.

But I’ve probably doxxed myself with personal stories. Pretty sure a dedicated person could find my employer, the team I’m in, and my age.

You just reminded me of another one: Monster Hunter World had a leftover behaviour from testing or so. The button L would rotate the camera to the right, as a hardcoded invisible binding.

That doesn’t matter much to most people, but I’m left handed, so my movement keys are IJKL instead of WASD. Rotating right whenever you want to step right is completely disorienting, I ended up returning it too.

Crocs were hated? When?

I would say they are still hated right now.

I just find them ugly, but there are some people with almost visceral reactions to them. “That’s not even a real shoe” kind of thing.

Oh melting chocolate, I need to try that next time. I’m always worried about burning the chocolate in the pot.

For me it just crashed often enough that it was frustrating to keep redoing things and one side quest got stuck because an enemy was half dead in the floor and I couldn’t finish them.

I let the game rest and played it a year later, it was great then. Half a year later I played it a second time, with different gender, weapons focus, and starting background. It was great again :-)

That’s exactly what a weeb masquerading as a Linux nerd would say!

I bet his penguin is from “A Place Further than the Universe”

I heard of it as an emergency stopgap measure until you can make it to the hospital to get pumped out and properly treated. But it’s been a while, I could misremember

“turning to Youtube” doesn’t really say much one way or another. There is a wide range of content from professional media over smaller alternative media outlets over individual opinion pieces to manufactured disinformation from state actors all hosted on Youtube.

More importantly, they can’t adapt Windows to their needs.

Isn’t that too slow for streaming video?

Damn that’s a spectre that I hadn’t even thought of yet.

I’m guessing here, but the only thing that makes sense in context is Fixed Wireless Access, FWA.

Maybe some error with the initialism snuck in because Shimitar is from Italy. I could see myself doing something similar, since in German we read W as “vee”.

Well, maybe now with a republican FCC

lol, no
