I have used the top suggestion python tool “fonttools” just to find that the font had an empty dsig table.

There also didn’t seem to be any other identifying infos in the file.

But I am still unsure on where I could upload the files to make it easily findable and available to others.

I am on Linux and I just wanted to add that for obvious reasons illustrator runs far worse on Linux (through wine) compared to Inkscape.

I had to learn Illustrator for a uni course and while the shortcuts and gui are different, once I got accustomed to it, I prefer it in my case.

The only real gripe is that Illustrator has some more powerful features, (like for example gradient along a path, which in Inkscape can be done only very hackily). This is due to Inkscape only using SVG features while adobe does it’s own. agic under the hood.

I tried both with yt-dlp and I get errors with both

1. video unavailable in your country (would probably work with a vpn)

2. this video is not available (since it is paid)

Can you provide an example link? I constantly download from youtube, so either it should always just work with yt-dlp or I’ve never encountered a DRM video.

bashflix

I did that and:

1. The only file that is correct is only of the regular version, so there are a lot of variations missing - you wouldn’t be able to get the same files as by following the paid way. The upload is 8 years old and seems to be part of an opensource website.

2. There is another upload from 4 years ago, where the files appear to be called by the same name, but it’s not the same font at all. Seems to be part of a website again, which shows a couple of fonts for comparison. Maybe they’ve put it there as a placeholder.

Thats why I wanted to ask how to safely upload them.

Awesome, thank you! I’ll try that

Like I mentioned in my post, I don’t really understand it, thats why I asked.

But I’ve read https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/dsig and to me it sounds like your OS for example (or any other software) could attempt to verify the validity of the DSIG of a font. If it works similarly to other types of signing, the certificate authority, in this case the creator of the font, could declare a font signed with a specific key invalid and your OS e.g. would then prohibit you from installing it.

But I may be completely wrong here. Maybe nobody is bothering with it, but since we live in DRM hell, I wnated to ask to make sure.

Distributing data to everybody is the only communism that works.

Endless replication, creates endless intelectual and creative wealth and diminishes financial wealth to zero.

Keep in mind that the average longevity of laser disks is 10-20 years. After that the data gets corrupted and will become unreadable at some point.

Thats why I don’t use cd/dvd/bluray.

Books on the other hand, I love as a physical media.

I have a question:

Can you not use OBS on DRM content? Or a capture card? I know those may lose some quality, but aren’t these ways good enough/working?

The stand costs like 15$ to produce (including machine time, material cost and shipping) I bet you can find dozens of chinese clones for under 100$ that function equally as well or better.

Same for a video you watched…

You live in a civilized country.

There are others where you can get a stack of fake drivers licenses for a couple groshen.

maaan, I have to go to reddit for that? Ewww

Thanks a lot!

Anybody found the source? I wanna read the study but the article doesn’t seem to link to it (or I missed it)

Let me completely exaggerate to illustrate the concept:

If osama bin laden or hitler, mao, a terrorist org etc. start a charity to plant more trees you would feel uncomfortable planting trees for their charity.

If I don’t fully trust a company, it discourages me from participating in anything they do, no matter the intention.
