That's a lot of words to not tell us what it does

If you want remote access to your home services behind a cgnat, the best way is with a VPS. This gives you a static public IP that your services connect to, and that you can connect to when out and about.

If you don't want the traffic decrypted on the VPS, then tunnel the VPN back to your homelab.
As the VPN already is encrypted, there is no point in re-encrypting it between the vps and homelab.

Rathole https://github.com/rapiz1/rathole is one of the easiest I have found for this.
Or you can do things with ssh tunnels.

For VPN, wireguard is very good

More about twitch tbh.

Twitch auto-configure tool for GPU settings (I think that's what it's saying).

Multiple bitrates can be encoded and ingested by twitch (only real benefit here is that it isn't being decoded, scaled and recoded on twitches servers. Slight quality boost, big savings for twitch tho).

And twitch swapping to HEVC codec. So lower bandwidth requirements, better picture quality, potential for utilising spare bandwidth for higher frame rates and resolutions.

And some bits at the end about AI processing for audio

Worth reading the article, but for the TL:drs and comment readers:

  • A patent attorney has narrowed down the list of potential candidates that could be central to Nintendo's lawsuit against Palworld developer Pocketpair to 28 patents.
  • Out of those, one particular intellectual property describing creature-capture mechanics was labeled as a "killer patent" that would be difficult not to infringe when making a game with monster-taming elements.
  • The said property is part of a recently approved patent family consisting of three more patents, all of which were approved mere weeks before Nintendo and The Pokemon Company sued Pocketpair.

The only way to look after land is to build a parking lot or use it to add another lane to a 32 lane highway.
You can get off with just a fine if you dig up the land and put down lawn turf. The fine is reduced if you use 5 gallons a day of water to keep it green.

Yeh, axis was the wrong term. I was thinking degrees of freedom.
However, I misunderstood the concept.

The extra dimensions are basically optical manipulation, like the other comment says with the red and blue lenses.

I thought it was more about the crystals attitude. So in addition to x, y and z, you also have alpha, beta, gamma.
Which would be 3 dimensions/axis with 6 degrees of freedom

Seems more like 5 axis than 5 dimensions.
Sounds like a slice through the crystal that can be moved up and down and rotated through 2 angles (eg roll and pitch)

That's like any FPS game ripping off any other FPS game.
Fight, capture, tame, train, breed animals.
Base building, research tree, enemy raids.
Exploration, resource gathering, survival.

I don't think Nintendo has a monopoly on enslaving animals.

I know what you mean, tho. It's always described as "Pokémon with guns and 3xE gameplay".
But does Nintendo actually have a case that will hold up in courts?
Pocketpair seems confident they can defend against it. So either they have done their research and are up for a fight. Or they (think they) are calling Nintendo's bluff.
But Nintendo has a whole pack of lawyers.

Unfortunately there are no details on what the patents being infringemed upon are, just that they relate to "Pocket Monster".

You can set a static IP on the router, disable it's DHCP, and have pihole manage DHCP with the routers static IP as the gateway

This is what "cutting red tape", "smarter regulation" and "taking back control" means.
