  • It’s quite good and also I like that they largely support Linux. They have phone apps, browser extensions, desktop apps, and even CLIs. They also have downloadable configurations for OpenVPN and WireGuard if you want to go that route. They’ve also got what I assume are fairly basic features of most VPNs like kill switching, private DNS servers, etc.



  • There’s quite a lot that can be gleaned from the depots for the game on steamdb: https://steamdb.info/app/1422450/depots/

    I don’t know if this information is already public but here are a couple of quick inferences I made by looking a the files. I’m not overly familiar with Valve’s intellectual properties so I don’t recognize any specific characters or franchises.

    There’s likely a hero named Yamato who has the abilities:

    • Shadow Form
    • Power Stance
    • Infinity Slash
    • Healing Slash
    • Flying Strike

    There’s a lot more hero information but that’s the top one in the depots.

    The game might be called “Citadel”, or it may have just been called that internally at Valve. The reason I suspect that is because of there appears to be a game folder called “citadel” which appears to be the main game folder.








  • You should go for a distro that matches what you want out of your system. You want stable? Find some strong LTS distro like Ubuntu. You want ULTRA STABLE? Go for an immutable distro. Do you want to use your system for gaming? Go for a distro with wide gaming support, built-in drivers with options for proprietary drivers.

    It’s less about what base distro you’re using and more about what you like about that particular flavor of distro.

    For example, I use my PC for gaming mostly, but also coding. I switched from Pop! (Ubuntu based) to Garuda (Arch based) and I love it because it’s really good for gaming, comes with Mangohud, Gamemode, Steam, Heroic, controller drivers, graphics drivers, etc, all optionally pre-installed. I also really like KDE apps because they’re performant and slick so I got the Plasma version.

    Anyway, yeah, focus less on “this distro is Arch based” and more on what each distro can provide you as far as your personal tastes.





  • Blocking the sun is not a practical solution. Putting something up in the atmosphere is untested and super dangerous. It could cause all life on Earth to die out like the Matrix.

    Physically blocking the sun is also practically impossible. It requires that we put an object in space in a Lagrange point (gravitationally stable points around Earth) which is very far away and the sun shield would have to be approximately the size of Brazil. Launching that much material into space and getting it into position, and then unfurling it would be a HUUUUUUGE undertaking the likes of which we have never seen. Plus, launching all those rockets, mining the materials, etc, would emit so many tonnes of green house gasses that by the time we actually did it we might be in an even worse position.
