I enthusiastically agree, even with a Taycan in my garage

an “exotic supercar” can be had used for like $30k tho

napster, kazaa, limewire, audiogalaxy are the big ones I remember in the pre-torrent era

hell I remember there were PCs at some kiosk at the mall that random folks had installed Napster on and a bunch of random folks had downloaded random stuff on.

I burned so many audio CDs. Even if it was just to add one single new song, since one song could take like an bour or so to download before we got broadband.

When mp3 cd players became a thing, that was a magical time. Before iPods and before the Creative Nomad, WAY cheaper, and some could even read CD-RWs.

I even sold a few mix CDs, with nicely formatted printouts for the slim jewel cases.

What an era.

veracrypt allows you to have an encrypted volume inside an encrypted volume such that it’s impossible to prove a regular veracrypt volume contains a hidden volume.

basically its just two different decrypt passwords on the same volume. very cool stuff.

where?

What a needlessly hostile comment. At least share your answer, jeez.

rsync works well for backups, to and/or from btrfs included.

I can’t figure out how to run game mods that are arbitrary .exe programs that are meant to hook into a running game. Specifically, otis_inf camera tools with, for example, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. I’ve tried protontricks but its so damn complicated and poorly documented I don’t really know how.

Bill Gates is an absolute fucking ghoul.

Amazon Linux has been a thing for at least a decade.

I haven’t heard of Talos before, sounds like it’s not fully open source?

maybe! three raspis and k3s have served me mostly well for years, tho with usb/sata adapters cuz the microsd was getting rather unreliable after awhile

CachyOS is gaming focused though, their GUI has a button to install their gaming meta package. they also package their own Proton which shows up in Steam as a compatibility option.

cyberpunk at least seems to run noticeably better for me on CachyOS than it did on Win11, on exactly the same hardware (5800x3d, rtx 4080)

i just let kubernetes handle it for me. k3s specifically.

“now”

On my laptop it seems totally transparent to the OS, but I haven’t tried setting any kernel params for it, didn’t even occur to me there was such a thing but it’d make sense if there is

Ryzen so-called “AI” Max Pro has hardware level memory encryption, at least it does on my HP ZBook. But it might be actually be the first laptop to do that as far as I know

according to Google

huh? why would Google know more than Valve about this?

Shame it has to come from a tankie rag like wsws. They get it right sometimes, but really not a great news source generally speaking.

Not relevant to the story, but fuck Algeria.
