    I’m not changing mine until (1) after the 30th, (2) game is back on for purchase in restricted countries, and (3) Sony doesn’t backpedal yet again before then.

    Look, I honestly get the sentiment and AH deserves the praise for sure, but at this point I honestly can’t confidently say I trust Sony to not just be doing all this for positive PR.







  • Had an appointment for an NBN tech visit yesterday morning, cause the internet in the place we moved into was shot. Mate came in at 830 in the morning.

    He quickly determined it wasn’t our box that’s the problem, but a faulty thingamajig on the street post, but he didn’t have the right parts on him. He had to leave, but he promised he’d get it sorted within the day. We were prepared to wait it out until the Monday, but mate came back on at almost 7pm on a Friday, just to get it sorted like he said, and sorted it he did.

    Just thought that was so nice of him, and I really appreciate it. Gave him a drink early on, but wish I gave him more of it, and hopefully he doesn’t mind all his work went into a night’s worth of very bad Dota.



  • I actually thought the organization stuff is pretty good, coming from keepassxc myself. The way we have it set up is that each of the members of our family all have VW accounts, and we have a common organization shared among us for stuff we all use (e.g. home devices). It’s all in one installation, so it’s pretty convenient. I don’t think I can do the same as easily with keepass.

    That being said, keepass is a really solid piece of software. I’d recommend it myself.






  • I’m admittedly not as knowledgeable about it as I’d like, but I also have a similar system. A primary encrypted Linux partition wuth a dualboot into Windows for times I absolutely need to go into it (which admittedly has been coming up less and less).

    What I tell myself is that, sure, in the best case that everything works as I’d like, the rootkit can never bleed into the Linux side of stuff, and I’m really only ever at risk when I’m actively on the Windows, and even then if Riot remains a good citizen, nothing will happen. It’s an (increasingly) small window of vulnerability.

    Thing is, I’ve seen complete systems go down because of “small windows of vulnerabilities” before. Catastrophic failures, more times than I’d have liked. Who knows, maybe someday someone manages to exploit that window and use it to, for example, piggyback into your home network and access your devices. I dunno, call me paranoid.

    In my head, installing something like a kernel anticheat is really not worth it. It’s a huge over reach of privilege for so little gain for the user. And frankly, I don’t trust Riot to be a good citizen with that much privilege on my machine.
