That’d be well and good if they didn’t have a monopoly.

many of which wirh anti cheat, it’s not worth making the switch just yet.
I get that. Shit like that is the only reason I stick with a dual boot.
Also, I got a NAS recently with OpenMediaVault and I only have the time to tinker with one thing at a time :P
I also get that. My self hosted gaming server can be a bit of work sometimes.
Any advice on the switch though, or tools you use lmk!
Two things, I’d go with Linux Mint Debian Edition if I we’re you. I’ve found it to be the most compatible with my games, (like 9 out of 10 or so), and have had zero major issues/glitches with it. Plus it avoids the drauam surrounding ubuntu.
The second thing is to keep a separate “home” partition for your documents/pictures/game saves/etc. Mine is [Name]_STC, with the acronym being a nod to wh40k’s Standard Template Constructs. The idea being it isn’t named something generic like “home”, or worse using the home folder.
And anytime I need to back up shit, I just zip the whole partition and put it on a separate drive. If something happens, I copy my standard template construct.
Good. Now make it work for everyone’s tax situation.
Agreed. I have zero regret.

If somebody gets access to your system, they could use that to blackmail you, and/or frame you for distributing said media.
“Give us $X, or we leak and distribute Y media on your behalf, and you will get sued by the corporate goons for shit loads of money”
The only real solution is to completely overhaul IP law, and/or nationalizing funding for the arts. If we’re gonna keep corps that own/produce media, then they should have a very short and limited amount of time to distribute it before it becomes common property of the people.
To me it is ridiculous that companies can even own other companies. The only real purpose of doing so is to play shenanigans with regulations, obfuscate responsibility, and generally deceive.
And for the “corps are people” crowd, owning people is wrong.
It has some rough edges to be sure. I’ve found myself fighting with it quite a bit. But it’s usable.
I’m just glad there is more incentive for [organization] to help patch the issues.
Which ep/movie are you referring to?
If this exploit was more performant, I wonder how much longer it would have taken to get noticed.
The battery is usually long gone by the time it becomes a server though.
Absolutely. I still have my laptop from high school, and it’s battery has been long gone. The screen is on its last legs.
Maybe it will be a server one day, but for now it’s my DnD laptop. Sucks a bit when somebody bumps the power cord and the battlemap turns off. But it’s still limping by.
Nobody NEEDS social media, but when a social media does something harmful, they need to be regulated.
