Block people that make you uncomfortable or are jerks, they aren’t worth your time.

  • I’ve been using clients for years without ban but you’re absolutely right that it does risk TOS, my day of ban could very well be tomorrow.

    The only other way I can think of is using OBS to livestream to an unlisted YouTube stream and share the link to those you want to watch, no one else can access it without the link. I’m not sure how bad the latency or delay is on this, but I think you can tweak some things to make it more low latency

    Edit: realized matrix via element screen sharing doesn’t have audio sharing either so I removed it





  • Side loaded a lot on iPhones, figured I’d just infodump here a bunch of general info on it in case someone might find it helpful

    spoiler

    With a free apple account which I assume most will be using you have to resign at least once every 7 days as you said. You can only sign 3 apps at a time including your side loading store if you choose to manage it from your phone. Paid Apple Dev account is more (unlimited?) apps at a time with 365 day re-signs, but $100 a year, which at that point unless you’re actually making apps isn’t worth it.

    There’s a few different methods, but I prefer to use AltStore. You sideload the altstore app onto your phone from the PC installer (windows or Mac), then you let the “AltServer” run on your pc 24/7.

    When your phone is on the same WiFi network as the PC, or wired over usb, it’ll automatically reinstall and re-sign your apps once they get close to expiring. You can also only install apps when on the same WiFi as altserver or over usb connection to your pc. It can sideload from repos or files directly.

    There’s also a way you can use on some specific iOS versions that don’t need to be re-signed at all without having to jailbreak either but I can’t remember the name of it at all, it’s very specific versions and relies on a major exploit that apple fixed

    Edit: ended up writing a whole essay, I’ll put it in spoiler tags so it doesn’t take too much space











  • I tried to give Windows 11 another go recently just to see how it is, I pulled all my files over including my gog games files which had wineprefixes in the folders, with /appdata folders for each prefix.

    Windows decided “you know what, screw c:\users\appdata, lets use the appdata folder in this random gamefolder on a different drive instead” and proceeded to cannibalize itself just breaking the majority of apps. No idea how it can’t recognize that the random wine “windows” files that aren’t in the correct locations aren’t the actual location for them. Couldn’t fix it because it thought the “c:” folder in the wine directory was my actual c: drive and refused to delete it

    Sure it was an extremely niche issue a Windows user would never realistically run into, but it reminded me just how fragile it is for uncommon usecases
