I understand the need for security, but default is powerful, which is why the eu requires os vendors to provide a browser choice screens instead of letting the os vendors to pick their own default browser. Without coupling this restriction with a browser choice screen, this would guarantee to increase edge market share simply because it's the default.

GPU passthrough works pretty well these days, but anticheats will detect you running inside a VM. Evading anticheats detection is a separate issue unrelated with gpu passthrough, usually involves getting the vm to look like a real hardware as much as possible (e.g. using real mac address, hiding kvm hypervisor signature, etc). It's quite a deep rabbit hole and I haven't actually tried it.

It's generally safe, but doesn't mean it's bulletproof as sites has been removed from the megathread in the past when they suddenly serve malwares or miners. Just use your common sense when downloading apps and games and scan them before installing.

Pirated apps are one of the top source for botnet operators to infect new machines and add them to their network. Try not to run any pirated app or game if you can, but if you can't avoid it, get it from trusted sources (e.g. directly from the cracker's homepage), not from random sources like TPB where anyone can upload anything.

Next: how do we know tailscale's network hasn't been backdoored?

I think you can send a SIGUSR1 signal to mumble process to tell it to reload the ssl certificate without actually restarting mumble's process. You can use docker kill --signal="SIGUSR1" <container name or id>, but then you still need to give your user access to docker group. Maybe you can setup a monthly cron on root user to run that command every months?

Why would they do that when coffee trees literally grow where the chivets live? They can just pick the berries themselves instead of waiting for the chivets to shit.

But why? Is administrators forcing their company's laptop to use certain browser actually a significant problem before?

I haven't actually tried it though so I'm not sure how it compares with rsync.net. How easy it is to access snapshots on hetzner? On rsync.net, snapshots are stored under .zfs folder so it's very easy to access.

There is a certain thrill when you nuke your disk to install a distro you never tried before. I actually just nuke one of my laptop last night to try void linux.

Stop threatening me with a good time!

Note that rsync.net includes free 7 days daily snapshot. Also, the main advantage over backblaze b2 for me is you can just sync a whole folder full of small files instead of compressing them into an archive first prior to uploading to a b2 bucket. This means you can access individual files later without the need to download the whole archive.

I still use b2 to store long term backup archives though.
