There are some open source firmware implantations for some peripherals with wifi dongles, perhaps they could be instructive?

Huh, I guess you could; you’re right, they are. I still can’t think of any open source firmware with support for it.

I don’t think there’s any firmware support for keyboard over IP (I assume this is what you want rather than a different protocol over a wifi network), though zmk does Bluetooth support I believe.

If it’s a G502/702, they’ve got a very fucky scroll wheel & middle click; it’s actually a lemon, but since nothing else works with the wireless pads they’re the only options.

I work with SoC suppliers, including Qualcomm and can confirm; you need to sign an NDA to get a highly patched old orphaned kernel, often with drivers that are provided only as precompiled binaries, preventing you updating the kernel yourself.

If you want that source code, you need to also pay a lot of money yearly to be a Qualcomm partner and even then you still might not have access to the sources for all the binaries you use. Even when you do get the sources, don’t expect them to be updated for new kernel compatibility; you’ve gotta do that yourself.

Many other manufacturers do this as well, but few are as bad. The environment is getting better, but it seems to be a feature that many large manufacturers feel they can live without.

If you’re messing with ACLs I’m not sure deduplication will help you much; I believe (not much experience with reflinks) the dedup checksum will include the metadata, so changing ACLs might ruin any benefit. Even if you don’t change the ACLs, as soon as somebody updates a game, it’s checksum will change and won’t converge back when everyone else updates.

Even hardlinks preserve the ACL… Maybe symlinks to the folder containing the game’s data, then the symlinks could have different ACLs?

I actually found the opposite with my steam library; on ZFS with ZSTD I only saw a ratio of 1.1 for steamapps, not that there’s really any meaningful performance penalty for compressing it.

Based on your fans it’s more likely too much air + high initial temperature causing uneven cooling. I assume with those fans you’re trying to print really fast?

Given the user always has a deeper access to the client (i.e. hardware access) than the anticheat dev does, eliminating cheating is probably unsolvable.

Best bet is probably always going to be a decently funded team dedicated to find and ban cheaters, rather than attempting to prevent them all with a rootkit.

I recently bought a 7800 XT for the same reason, NVIDIA drivers giving me trouble in games and generally making it harder to maintain my system. Unfortunately I ran headfirst into the 6.6 reset bug that made general usage an absolute nightmare.

Open source drivers are still miles ahead of NVIDIA’s binary blob if only because I could shift to 6.7 when it released to fix it, but I guess GPU drivers are always going to be GPU drivers.

The link you posted has nothing to do with this SoC?

You’re not going to get 2.5G over wireguard on the 3588, but you are definitely going to get over 1G.

Wireguard scales well with cores, but due to the way big.LITTLE is implemented on the 3588, it could lose performance if it tries to split the workload between core complexes.

Relationships only really feel like jobs in this way when you feel your effort is not being reciprocated. Doing emotional labour for your partner is not exhausting if you feel like you are equally pulling each other up.

I had an EdgeRouter X for years before I started my job. They are solid devices, and I’d definitely put them above most consumer routers.

Because they only charge for the hardware, they will eventually run into the same disincentive to provide consistent timely updates. If you do buy an Ubiquiti or similar enthusiast brand, do still keep an eye out for the CVEs that don’t get patched.

I build Linux routers for my day job. Some advice:

• your firewall should be an appliance first and foremost; you apply appropriate settings and then other than periodic updates, you should leave it TF alone. If your firewall is on a machine that you regularly modify, you will one day change your firewall settings unknowingly. Put all your other devices behind said firewall appliance. A physical device is best, since correctly forwarding everything to your firewall comes under the “will one day unknowingly modify” category.

• use open source firewall & routing software such as OpenWRT and PFSense. Any commercial router that keeps up to date and patches security vulnerabilities, you cannot afford.

I’ve been considering copyfarleft licenses like the Anti-Captialist Licence and the Peer Production Licence for a while now; I like the licenses themselves, my only issue is that since there is no body like the FSF to enforce them, a company large enough is likely just to steal the code or break licence.

You can be legally compelled to give access to data in Australia, this includes decryption keys and biometrics.

Aus border security care most about weapons and biological matter; dirt, wood, bugs, plants, food etc.

Coming from Indonesia, you may be profiled vis-a-vis potential biological material but showing that you’ve taken precautions when you packed to make their jobs easier will expedite any bag search.

Unrelated but have an off-site backup! Airport baggage handling are not gentle, and your spinning rust may be DoA.

Owning pirated materials is likely illegal in Australia, but it’s not what border security are looking for so you’re right they wouldn’t care.
