Game DRM-Free

Apa itu Game DRM-Free? English version

Untuk tahu lebih jauh berikut definisi DRM menurut Wikipedia:

Peralatan Manajemen Hak digital (Digital Rights Management (DRM) adalah seperangkat teknologi kontrol akses untuk membatasi penggunaan perangkat keras berpemilik dan karya hak cipta.Teknologi DRM mencoba mengontrol penggunaan, modifikasi, dan distribusi karya berhak cipta (seperti perangkat lunak dan konten multimedia), serta sistem di dalam perangkat yang menerapkan kebijakan ini.

Pada dunia game di PC atau PC Game, DRM sering disebut sebagai copy-protection. Ada bermacam-macam copy protection yang ada sejak era PC Game dimulai (1980an),  

• proteksi fisik media (laser hole atau hidden file/sector pada floppy disk atau CDROM),  
• proteksi yang mengacu ke buku petunjuk/manual (misalnya 'masukkan kata dari halaman (x) paragraf (y) dan kata ke-(z)')
• proteksi serial number unik (seperti Windows 95/98)
• proteksi one-time online/phone registration (seperti Windows 7 ke atas)
• proteksi periodik/selalu online (seperti DVD game dengan sistem Denuvo)
• proteksi melalui client ekosistem gaming (Steam/Epic/Uplay/Origin)

Game DRM-Free secara bebas diterjemahkan sebagai game yang dijual tanpa menggunakan DRM atau copy protection. Dipopulerkan oleh perusahaan distributor game GOG.com, DRM-Free Game adalah sebuah konsep bahwa game harus bisa dimiliki secara fisik tanpa harus tergantung pada pihak distributor (kecuali waktu mendownloadnya), sehingga bisa dipindah (diinstall/dicopy) sesukanya selama kita memang sudah memiliki hak atas game tersebut. DRM-Free Game adalah anti-tesis dari kebutuhan bahwa game harus diproteksi untuk memastikan hak ciptanya terjaga. 

Tidak seperti game dengan DRM yang terasa seperti kita memiliki hak guna pakai/sewa (kecuali kita punya media fisik dan tidak butuh online untuk menggunakannya), DRM-Free membuat kita seperti memiliki hak milik

Lebih lanjut, ternyata pada ekosistem gaming seperti Steam, Epic, Uplay, Origin, dan Bethesda tenyata 'diselundupkan' game-game DRM-Free karena sebagian pengembang game merasa tidak perlu menambahkan DRM untuk game mereka

DRM-Free Games

What are DRM-Free Games?

To find out more, the following is the definition of DRM according to Wikipedia:

Digital rights management (DRM) tools or technological protection measures (TPM) are a set of access control technologies for restricting the use of proprietary hardware and copyrighted works. DRM technologies try to control the use, modification, and distribution of copyrighted works (such as software and multimedia content), as well as systems within devices that enforce these policies.

In the world of PC games, DRM is often referred to as copy-protection. There are various copy protection that have existed since the PC Game era began (1980s),

• physical media protection (laser hole or hidden file / sector on a floppy disk or CDROM),
• protection that refers to the manual / manual (for example 'insert word from page (x) paragraph (y) and word (z)')
• unique serial number protection (such as Windows 95/98)
• one-time online / phone registration protection (such as Windows 7 and above)
• periodic / always online protection (such as DVD games with Denuvo systems)
• protection via the gaming ecosystem client (Steam / Epic / Uplay / Origin)

DRM-Free Games is freely translated as games that are sold without the use of DRM or copy protection. Popularized by game distributor company GOG.com, DRM-Free Game is a concept that games should be physically owned without having to depend on the distributor (except when downloading them), so they can be moved (installed / copied) at will as long as we already have the rights. over these games. DRM-Free Game is the anti-thesis of the need that games must be protected to ensure that they are copyright protected.

Unlike games with DRM, which feel like we have lease rights (unless we have physical media and don't need to be online to use it), DRM-Free makes us feel like we have ownership rights.

Furthermore, it turns out that in gaming ecosystems such as Steam, Epic, Uplay and Origin, there are DRM-Free games smuggled-in because some game developers feel that they don't need to add DRM to their games.

Creating Bootable USB OS Installer

This is an old stuff but I decided to write this as this is one of indispensable  utility for me for a long time.
It allows you to have multiple OS installer in an USB flashdisk. Although you can have several Android and Linux installer in one flashdisk, it only allowed 1 version of Windows.
The official site:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/multisystem/

Watch out with the language, since this app is originally French, but overall is very good.

For easier method of install (Ubuntu derived / PPA) you can use:
$ sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://liveusb.info/multisystem/depot all main' 
$ wget -q -O - http://liveusb.info/multisystem/depot/multisystem.asc | sudo apt-key add - 
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install multisystem

Compressing PDF File using (ghost)script

Dealing with Big PDF File can be pain in the a** especially when using slow internet connection or limited space on server.
Thus I've come across script on make things easier. Here's the script:
$ ghostscript -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/ebook -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=output.pdf input.pdf

You can get more explanation at:
