Most VPN Services are Terrible

Most VPN Services are Terrible

Short version: I strongly do not recommend using any of these providers. You are, of course, free to use whatever you like. My TL;DR advice: Roll your own and use Algo or Streisand. For messaging & voice, use Signal. For increased anonymity, use Tor for desktop (though recognize that doing so may actually put you at greater risk), and Onion Browser for mobile.

YIFY's Quality Encoding

For those that want to keep the YTS going (No, IDGAF about people that don't care for YTS quality) get HandbrakeCLI https://handbrake.fr/downloads... and use the following settings:

user@user:~$HandBrakeCLI -i /file/input.mp4 -o /file/out.mp4 -E fdk_faac -B 96k -6 stereo -R 44.1 -e x264 -q 27 -x cabac=1:ref=5:analyse=0x133:me=umh:subme=9:chroma-me=1:deadzone-inter=21:deadzone-intra=11:b-adapt=2:rc-lookahead=60:vbv-maxrate=10000:vbv-bufsize=10000:qpmax=69:bframes=5:b-adapt=2:direct=auto:crf-max=51:weightp=2:merange=24:chroma-qp-offset=-1:sync-lookahead=2:psy-rd=1.00,0.15:trellis=2:min-keyint=23:partitions=all

Reason to use CLI over GTK has to do with lack of support for advanced settings for Handbrake GTK

Use latest prebuilt toolchain: https://goo.gl/QpX5zM (the one at the top)

New build step has been added, after vita-elf-create you need to run: vita-make-fself homebrew.velf eboot.bin You need to run vita-make-fself on the .velf, not .elf The resulting eboot.bin can then be put into a .vpk archive, read below

Homebrew installer uses a .vpk format which is just a ZIP file, start from this template: https://github.com/xyzz/Vita_Doom/releases/download/1.0/vitadoom.vpk (try installing it from the shell)

  • replace eboot.bin with your eboot.bin
  • you can also add template.xml and stuff like icon/background/etc that will be displayed in livearea, check out how it's done in molecular shell (launch it and go to app0)
  • make sure to run pngquant on all your png images https://pngquant.org/
  • to make param.sfo, use vita-mksfoex -s TITLE_ID=XXXX00001 "homebrew name" output/param.sfo

taiHENkaku B8 Release Notes

大変革 Beta 8

"When is the actual release?!? Why is this still beta?" Good question. Here's a secret: I have been constantly pushing small updates every couple of days without changing the beta number. Think of these release notes as status reports rather then, well, release notes. The idea of beta.henkaku.xyz is that since molecule has very limited resources, we cannot test all the different configurations, homebrews, and use cases. However, when I push an update to the beta site, I know that if something breaks I would get notified through Twitter, reddit, IRC, etc (although the perferred way of reporting bugs has always been the issue tracker). So if you don't notice any problems, that's good! It means I was able to fix any major issues before you woke up. These problems are usually very surface level (a misconfiguration/typo on my part) and the underlying code has a lot less bugs than HENkaku R6. So do I recommend everyone use beta.henkaku.xyz? Yes.

Vita 3.65 activation investigation (E-80558325)

On 7/29/2017, all hacked Vitas on 3.60 spoofing the latest firmware (3.65) were blocked from console activation. This is particularly odd because the PSN passphrase did not change in 3.65. Additionally with the release of ensō added to the confusion of what happened. Here is the result of a preliminary investigation of the situation.

Upon game activation, the Vita displays an dialog that shows the error number E-80558325. This error number is used in SceNpKdc, which is found in vs0:external/np_kdc.suprx. The error code itself is created when the activation response is received:

v5 = v45 | 0x80558300;

Here, v5 is the return code and v45 is the string error code from the server converted to a number. The request made to Sony's server looks like the following
