I can’t quite remember the GPS situation. I believe I had something working, but I think it might have been something from the UT store, uNav. However I can’t speak to GMaps since I do my best to avoid Google apps.

I got really close to daily driving it. I had most of the stuff I wanted in waydroid on a pixel 3a. I just need to get the android notifications bridged out from android to dbus to postal and I’d make the switch

Found my homie!!

This is really neat!

It looks like dayz is gold, rather than platinum, meaning it will take a little tinkering. https://www.protondb.com/app/221100

Usually I start debugging this type of thing by killing all instances of steam and then launching it from command line. Steam logs a bunch of good stuff and putting it in context of your interactions helps. That said, based on what you’ve described, I would try older versions of proton, targeting releases back when games were launching. Proton/wine versions don’t always work for all games and sometimes you’ll need to launch particular titles with specific versions. Proton has been absolutely revolutionary, but these issues still pop up. ProtonDB might have reports on specific versions for specific games/titles.

Yeah, voting with your dollar definitely will make the change, just buy something else and struggle a bit harder, that change is right around the corner /s

Maybe it helps to think of it as a transitional state?

You own it, like the mortgage is paid or you rent from the bank still?

This video was really good and there were sources listed in the description, but I would have liked to see sources linked in the video and some credits for the footage used. I didn’t see any credits for footage and some of it didn’t look like stock footage.

The content of the video was really good though and covered a lot in 30 minutes without feeling dense.

I’ve been mapping my city with streetcomplete and using osmand live to download my edits, organic maps has a better address search though, so I use that too. I don’t use the live traffic stuff, but osmand is capable of it.

I’m really glad you commented. Your comment made me go read the thread linked and I’m glad I did, because this is some serious stuff.

Possibly the source of any confusion here is when the encryption and when the compression takes place? Maybe some more details about how you are using xz and encryption would help.

As far as I can tell, xz doesn’t do anything with signatures or encryption, but it does perform checksums like you stated, which is very cool and I’m glad you shared this.

Edit: I am re-reading your post above. You are compressing with xz, then encrypting, got it. So yes, if any part of the payload is tampered with, then it would be detected by the decryption, depending on the algorithm, or by the decompression because of the checksums like you said. Sorry for the confusion! You’ve got it all straight lol.

A checksum and a digital signature aren’t the same thing. If you have a data block and a checksum of the data block, the data block can be modified and a new checksum can be computed to reflect the modifications. Instead of a checksum would be a digital signature using an asymmetric key. The data block would be modified but the signature of that block can’t be recomputed without the key used to sign it, which is not part of the transfer.

Normally these are pretty good, but wow, this tl;dr is really bad lol

This is totally right, but people with money like to point fingers and blame others. Ultimately paying for support is PR insurance.

I was talking about how the corrupt corporations are literally the reason we can’t have nice things. We are on the same side here. I’m just trying to express that “financial interest” is only of interest to capitalists so they can continue to profit from the efforts of common peoples. The point was to shift the discussion from trying to interest someone financially to fostering an environment in which social interest can actually cause movement and development.

The problem I am alluding to is the way that “financial interests” means somebody reaping the value from others’ labor. There is more than enough talent, interest and time available to develop robust solutions to hardware enablement if we stop feeding the machine what it consumes today. There is simply no reason that a manufacturer shouldn’t be producing hardware with open specifications to a global market that consumes its product. Additionally there is more than enough revenue that goes to paying people that contribute less than they produce for the hardware purchased by consumers. We fix this by making it illegal to create walled gardens that make us beholden to vendors.

Maybe the problem is that there shouldn’t be a financial interest in order to motivate or enable support.
