Turkish government just blocked access to YouTube after a terrorist attack - but the Vivaldi browser on my desktop still connects?
  • I don't think you understand. The old profile connects to youtube. New profile doesn't connect. There's no difference between the flags of both. TLS is decades old and doesn't have a flag to turn on or off. I think you mean dns over tls or dns over https, which is also widely supported at this point, and those are what all my browsers are using (and also don't have a flag to turn on or off, they're handled in settings).

  • As this kind of thing happens after every public crisis and it stopped working on different networks at different times (vodafone was fine for a while in the beginning), I think it's safe to say it's intentional.

    And as I explained, the weird part is that my browser's fine despite not using a vpn. No slowdown (on youtube at least) at all

  • I have secure DNS set up on all my devices, this isn't a DNS level block. I tried looking at the chrome Dev tools connection page and I would try wireshark too but idk what to look for, especially when I'm trying to figure out why it works

    Edit: I'm pretty sure with normal DNS you get a page saying it's blocked for discord

  • Turkish government just blocked access to YouTube after a terrorist attack - but the Vivaldi browser on my desktop still connects?

    It also connects to discord, supposed to be blocked since more than a week. No other device or browser I have connects to YouTube, they all get ERR_SOCKET_NOT_CONNECTED, and only a fresh Vivaldi profile on the same pc also connects to Discord, everything else get ERR_CONNECTION_RESET.

    I've tried disabling all extensions, it still connects. Checked its IP address and DNS server and they're the same as other devices/browsers. Any idea what could be going on?

    Cross posted from https://lemm.ee/post/45606568 to reach as many people before they unblock it and the chance to investigate is gone

    24m edit: Discord just started working on some other chromium browsers including on another device.

    80m edit: Another chromium browser just also connected. After deleting browser data it stopped

  • Big fan of control, that's why I'm willing to give this a go.

    There was news other week about them seeking investment from tencent to finish control 2, they operated at a loss in 2022, 2023 and first half of 2024 and they didn't do layoffs despite the industry trend. They also bought control from 505. They need the money

  • Puha said FBC: Firebreak is meant to be "a pick-up-and-play experience" that's easy to jump into, and while "a steady supply of new content" is planned post-release, it's not intended to be a game-as-a-service: "This isn’t about logging in every day for some loot or fear of missing out on materials."

    It's live service.. Or is that a bad thing? Then it's not! Unless..?

    /s Sounds like they're trying to catch the paranormal coop online multiplayer crowd that makes a game go viral every year to ease their financial woes

    This goes on the 'might be an impatient gamer for this' pile

    Edit: even beyond who would be legally responsible, as evidenced by this article and others like it people are already holding policy makers and anti welfare instigators responsible. The fall guy being one step removed from the crime doesn't change who made it happen

    When does phoenix force (in marvel comics) actually appear for the first time (and what was the original origin of phoenix)?

    cross post

    Marvel wikia retcons its first appearance as xmen#101, but phoenix force isn't in this issue, phoenix is. At some point between its publication and now the story must've changed to involve a cosmic god, but I wonder if before then phoenix's origin was intended to be an extreme version of fantastic 4's origin beyond just an homage.

    I just started reading xmen#125 and once again in a flashback this is how the event is described:

    > Her body was consumed by the intense radiation. But her mind refused to die. Driven by her love for Scott Summers, she achieved her full potential as a psi --becoming, briefly, an entity of pure thought-- before finally reforming as Phoenix.

    So when does phenix force actually bocme a thing? Were there any other out of universe (as I'll reach the in universe ones eventually) explanations of the phoenix's power before then? Shouldn't the wiki at least mention if a part of an article is a retcon?

    Dark souls 2 sotfs stuck at 720p in gamescope

    I'm trying to play dark souls 2 with the graphics overhaul mod in hdr. I'm passing 1440p to gamescope with the -W, -H, -w, -h options and limiting framerate to 60 with -r and -o.

    The game just refuses to display at anything other than 720p. I can change the in-game resolution setting to 1440p but the resolution just doesn't change. I tried setting a lower resolution (480p iirc) as well, but it still looked the same. Also tried enabling fullscreen but that setting doesn't save nor does it do anything.

    I'm inferring that it's 720p because the in-game cursor moves half the distance of the actual cursor with gamescope set to 1440p, but they're in sync if I set it to 720p. To the eye it just looks blurry. The mod menu opens at the size it opens without gamescope but is also similarly blurred. Couldn't interact with it to confirm the resolution due to the aforementioned mouse issue

    Outside of gamescope fullscreen works fine and the resolution setting works too iirc (but they reset after reopening the game). Kde plasma. Tried disabling secondary screen, setting scaling to 100 and limiting desktop fps to 60, didn't help

    Could this be some kind of steam deck detection? Any ideas?

    Is this strawberry plant real?

    I keep seeing this video and every time I'm uncertain. I'm pretty sure that's not how normal strawberry plants look, and the fact that all of the berries are ripe at the same time is suspicious. On the other hand they look naturally connected to the plant and not stabbed into branches..

    This photo I took on an airplane

    I'm guessing this is a rolling shutter effect since the lines were always horizontal wrt the screen but can't really explain it. Shutter speed is 1/1500s. The lines appear on other shutter speeds too but fade away as you approach 1s. They seemed most noticeable at factors of 1/50s or 1/750s. Here's a screen video: https://quickshare.samsungcloud.com/xc6hikOCglkz

    Dark Souls Remastered Pegi Review

    Usb keyboard unavailable during boot until all usb devices are initialised (solutions?)

    Without other usb devices the keyboard works immediately. With them it takes 5 ish seconds for it to start responding. This is regardless of which device is discovered first (which I can manipulate), it seems to just wait for all of them. Is there a way to make it not do that?

    Edit: This is specifically about linux boot. It otherwise works fine in bios / bootloader

    Does wb get any money from sales of adult swim published games on steam?

    I have an urge to buy some of them on steam before they get delisted but don't want to give any money to wb in the process. The way that apparently devs could just leave or sell/give away the game on other platforms made me think maybe wb doesn't get a cut of every sale. Does anyone know that for certain?
