I’m sure that admin is Admiral Patrick’s alt. There are signs that they share the same sentiment as him. I kind of knew he wasn’t going to just leave the Fediverse entirely.

I knew the story wouldn’t end with him taking down his own instance. Either it was going to be brought back or he had another one.

Check startrek.website too. They defederated us immediately after banning someone who claimed to be an alt of Admiral Patrick. If their domain is less protected we might be able to bring him to justice over this.

Startrek.website is probably also run by Admiral Patrick, or maybe he’s just someone with admin access there. Either way they seem like bad news, that site should definitely be avoided.

It just gets worse and worse. I figured that the goodbye message he posted wouldn’t be the end of it. Thankfully it seems to be down now so it’s not causing harm anymore directly but still.

I recently found out Admiral Patrick made a response to this situation where he doesn’t address any of the concerns related to censoring leftists and just points to the spam he included in the list.

Here’s his post:

Unfortunately that piece of shit didn’t even get fired or cast out of the open source community, let alone get sent to prison for that. And yes as an American he could get sent to prison for that because he also effected American military systems in the region.

Of course they could. They would totally ruin their credibility but they’ve already done that it seems. They shut off their instance and redirect it to a cartoon picture telling people to go away.

Nah Denuvo isn’t kernel level, at least not at the moment. The method used on Linux operates entirely in userland using a custom proton build and the cpuid fault instruction. On older systems that don’t support cpuid faulting they do use a kernel module, but this kernel module is much simpler than the Windows HV, it only emulates cpuid faulting and doesn’t do anything else.

The only limitations are that it’s Linux, so you might run into some trouble with Denuvo/Hypervisor and stuff like that. HV cracks allegedly work on Linux now, but I haven’t tried it yet.

It’s easier on Linux than it is on Windows, and also safer too.

Either the Steam Deck or one of those Emulation PC handhelds. A Switch would probably be a poor choice since a modchip is required for most of them.

“I’m not transphobic, trans people are just scary and weird okay” -The Tesseract devs, apparently

The other thing is that the developer of Tesseract doesn’t have the authority to block servers they don’t like on other people’s instances. It is a major overstep from him to do this, and a severe breach of trust. You really have to hold yourself or be held to a high standard when writing code that runs on other people’s computers.

Putting in a backdoor so you can get in is really bad. Putting in your own hardcoded ideological filters isn’t as bad, but it’s almost as bad.

I agree. People who do this are emotionally compromised and in my opinion can’t be trusted when writing code. There was a different developer who through similar political convictions made his software wipe PCs that were in Russia or Belarus. Maybe that seems more extreme but it comes from the same politically charged and emotionally compromised place.

If you have AMD Zen 4 or newer, or Intel Ivybridge or newer the hypervisor isn’t needed. For older than Zen 4 though you need the kernel module to make it work.

Currently you need to use dkms to install it but Bazzite doesn’t allow that so it would need to be tweaked to use the method Bazzite uses to layer kernel modules.

That definitely seems like a pain. I hope there will be an easier method since a lot of people use Bazzite.

The other thing that won’t surprise me is when you all start bitching about not being able to play online multiplayer on official servers.

I don’t think anyone was expecting to do that. Not being able to play online has been the norm for the majority of cracked games for almost as long as cracking and online gaming has existed.

Very nice, although it would be even better if there was a mirror to download the files from. Since cs.rin locks downloads and a lot of people wanting to use this probably don’t have an account there.

Bazzite does have it’s own method of installing modules to the system. It’s just not dkms. It would be great if this was adapted to that method though it’ll probably be a while until that happens.

Hopefully there will be a guide on how to install the module on immutable systems like Bazzite in the future. The proper way as they intended of course via rpm-ostree.
