> As far as I know, this is how CSGO runs on vulkan: valve did package the game with the DX(11?12?)->vulkan translater.
CSGO has a builtin DX to OpenGL translation layer. They're not using Proton or DXVK, it's Linux native OpenGL. Hopefuly we get Source 2 and native Vulkan sooner than later ..
The topic often comes up. Can't say I share the experience. My servers have never been put on a blacklist in the 7 years they've been running, and one of them operates from my residential DSL connection. Standard postfix+dovecot stack on an Archlinux VPS, I log in once a year to update the packages and make sure there is enough disk space left.
French Brittany, was sunbathing this morning at 10:00 at 15°C on the beach, with bees flying around. These are summer temperatures, and even in summer it's usually colder than that at this time of the day. Felt completely unreal.
At 6 cents/SMS, I find Twilio and similar services way too expensive. Compare that to the unlimited SMS plan that I can get for 2€/month here in France, and setting up a gateway like that becomes very attractive.
In my experience it's very unstable however. Sending and receiving SMS can take anywhere from 5 to 30 seconds, and the modem can't do both at the same time. I tried configuring gammu's timeouts, loop delays and whatnot, but couldn't get something that's reliable enough for production.
Yes, but those are all non problems for anyone remotely tech-savvy. The point is, DRMs are hurting paying customers and do not even make it more difficult for pirates: when you download a torrent, DRMs are already completely stripped, so the only people prevented from consuming DRM'd content are paying customers with non-HDCP compliant hardware. That's insane.
Ignoring cost, there's two things preventing me from watching content legally in acceptable quality: DRMs and connection speed.
The day streaming providers allow downloading high quality, DRM free video files to watch for later, I'll happily pay 3 bucks per movie.
As it stands, I can't play anything >720p because of DRMs. If you're willing to prevent paying customers from watching what they're paying for, just for the sake of reassuring your shareholders that you're combatting piracy (though failing miserably), then I have no remorse torrenting your content.
