			<description><![CDATA[Hi Everyone,<br />
<br />
On the itch forums, someone recently posed a question about ways to prevent HS from being closed. Since the default built-in lock doesn't prevent a user from simply killing the process in Task Manager, I decided to look deeper into the subject after seeing some initial community suggestions.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">The Problem &amp; The Approach</span><br />
Since the application doesn't have native anti-tamper mechanisms, the only real way to handle this is to make closing it as hard and annoying as possible—especially considering most users have administrator access on their PCs.<br />
<br />
What I've developed is a result of this restriction. It consists of two .exe files: "alpha" and "beta".<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">How to Use</span><br />
First launch: Run alpha.exe<br />
If after restart it doesn't work: check antivirus for removed threats, allow it again, then run alpha.exe again<br />
<br />
Source Code: I am providing the Python source code below because Windows (and most antivirus software) will likely treat these files as a Trojan/Virus.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Why is it flagged as a Virus?</span><br />
It’s quite simple: to make closing HS difficult, I’ve placed the process in non-obvious locations and introduced watchdog mechanisms. These scripts watch for changes and relaunch the app if it’s terminated. This exact behavior—monitoring processes and self-replicating/restarting—is very similar to how actual malware behaves.<br />
<br />
Note on Antivirus: If you want to run these, you will need to add exclusions every time your antivirus neutralizes the threat. If the app doesn't launch properly after a PC restart, check your "Neutralized Threats," allow the files, and relaunch alpha.exe.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Technical Details</span><br />
If you don't want to spoil how the "magic" works under the hood, don't look at the code. For those who are curious or concerned about security, feel free to analyze the source or run it through an AI for a breakdown. The code was compiled into .exe using python -m nuitka --onefile --windows-console-mode=disable ...<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Additional info</span><br />
I have no idea at the moment, how to launch HS with custom parameters, that would allow for automatic locking or configuring fps, screen, etc, so if someone knows I would appreciate information<br /><!-- start: postbit_attachments_attachment -->

			<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone !<br />
<br />
I was wondering if it would be cool to have a Discord server for the Hotscreen community, like a unofficial place where we could chat, share things/mods/collections or maybe even take control of other's hotscreens ?<br />
<br />
Let me know if you're interested or if you think that's a bad idea^^<br />
<br />
Have a great day of gooning <img src="https://hotscreen.dominated.dev/images/smilies/smile.png" alt="Smile" title="Smile" class="smilie smilie_1" />]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I just wanted to express interest and suggest a linux compatible version. I've tried multiple ways to use Wine or other compatibility layers to make it work on my own, like with other programs, but it's not seeming to do the trick. I think it'd be valuable to do such a thing, especially since more and more users are leaving windows. No, not a lot, but enough to matter in time. <br />
<br />

what numbers is everyone else getting, and what are you running it on?<br />
<br />
I have a 5700x3d, rx580 8gb and a 1440p 165hz monitor (also a second 1080p but mostly use the main screen)<br />
I'm getting about<br />
100fps recording<br />
27fps detection<br />
80-120fps (usually around 100) on the overlay<br />
using 5 frames delay, dxgi and no msaa<br />
<br />
tested with a fairly harsh censor (with no added distractions), on an nsfw MMD video, fwiw]]></description>
