Who do you think the Internet Archive is? They are not Google, they have very low funding, very high expenses and are constantly under legal pressure.

The fact you can even access the Internet Archive for free is a result of tens thousands of human hours striving for one goal. Digital Preservation. If you rely so much on IA, you should consider donating.

I do donate. But that doesn't mean I have to thank them before every meal or think that the service is perfect.

What do you expect them to do though? You have to be a reasonable person.

Data analysis would be a good start, better blocking heuristics, an off-the-shelf solution used by other organisations that don't have this problem, etc.

Which other organisation is as valuable to scrape as IA?

How exactly does IPv6 "stop crawlers".

If anything, it will make it harder to block due to the vastness of the IPv6 address space.

CGNAT makes all ISP users appear to come from one v4 address, so blocking by v4 address becomes unworkable.

I think you have the wrong impression of the Internet Archive.

The internet archive is not designed to circumvent anything. It is not designed to "grant access without having your own access".

Not really. A 50 year old is a collectable, in high demand.

What country?

He's from Brazil, as am I, and I got the same message.

What hardware are people using to run modern VR?

1440p (2560x1440) is 3,686,400 pixels.

2160p (2160x2160) is 4,665,600 pixels, per eye, so 9,331,200 pixels.

This headset will require a million more pixels to be rendered than 4K. 9 Million pixels @ 144hz is no easy task.

My RTX 4080 (9800X3D) struggles with 4K gaming.

You render lower quality and scale the images up to native resolution, with filters to reduce any jagged artifacts. It's not ideal, and so even running at the "same" resolution, the 2d monitor looks better then it does in the headset.

But the immersion is enough that you forget about it and just enjoy the content, as long as it's comfortable enough

You can't stream from a Linux box to the Frame? Where did you hear that? Given that you can stream between Linux boxes using Steam, I find that surprising.

Linus said it on the leaked TechQuickie video from a 2 days ago.

I think it's a little dishonest to say they don't care. They made proton, they put out patches for their games on Linux fairly frequently.. in comparison to 80% of companies they go above and beyond.

I think this is just a symptom of Valve neglecting their (old and new) games as a whole.

Is this a common problem? I've never had it :P

I've never understood the whole VR game ecosystem. There is a handful of titles (outside of Half Life Alyx, which even then looks pretty shit and clunky) that are worth playing on VR.

Most are short bursts of fun and don't really have any moat.

There are a lot of titles that both look great and are fun, but you wouldn't know because you don't use VR. That doesn't included mods to existing games ever since Unreal made it easier to make most games, running on their engine, VR compatible. It also depends on whether you're using standalone or PCVR. Why critique something that you're not very familiar with?

VR still has a lot of problems. Some of which may never be solved, but lack of content is no longer a problem.

Or throw them to the wolves at age ~18
