The biggest obstacle with Stadia suceeding was Google’s, rightfully earned, reputation to kill their products.

It ended up becoming a self fulfilling prophecy and has further cemented Googles reputation for killing products/services.

Google’s M.O these days seem to be “If it doesn’t make money instantly, kill it and move on.”

Does codeberg have anything that will prevent an influx of bots or AI accounts that have plagued GitHub?

I ask because as the user base for codeberg grows the bots, AI and nefarious actors will follow.

I like the idea of a federated source code hosting platform especially since it removes lock-in to a single corporation and a defacto monopoly.

That in itself is a good enough reason to migrate, but regarding this particular issue, bots/AI and artificial project promotion for malicious intent, feels like re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

Specifically MVNOs would be stupid to do this since they are leasing from primary network operators (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile) and have to play be the rules of the contract with those companies.

Plus in OPs case Visible is owned by Verizon and Xfinity runs on Verizons network. It’s not Xfinity’s interest to piss off Verizon who could kick them off their network. That would result in less negotiating power with other networks and result in higher costs for them.

That 6% attributed to “unknown” is the one true OS, the only one ordained by the Almighty… Temple OS!

I love that Microsoft has Microsoft developed applications on its update/upgrade block list.

It’s a good reminder that companies arent as cohesive as most people think especially when they are as large as Microsoft.

Unfortunately its not a third party module but manufacturer built-in features.

Modern cars are internet-enabled, allowing access to services like navigation, roadside assistance and car apps that drivers can connect to their vehicles to locate them or unlock them remotely. In recent years, automakers, including G.M., Honda, Kia and Hyundai, have started offering optional features in their connected-car apps that rate people’s driving. Some drivers may not realize that, if they turn on these features, the car companies then give information about how they drive to data brokers like LexisNexis.

I run Tilix with split terminals and always have one with htop running. It is so satisfying finding a troublesome process and killing it in htop.

Looking at you hanged ssh sessions…

The development cycle is very iterative, and incredibly time consuming, which is why games are now taking six and seven years to build, as they’ve gotten bigger and deeper," said Wilson, “So the first thing for us is how do we make that more efficient?”

I dunno maybe take a page from indie developers and make fun games that are innovative?

I’ll take quality over quantity every time.

Handbrake will rip DVDs, but not Blu Rays. That’s were good ol’ MakeMKV comes in.

I rip with MakeMKV (which will do DVDs as well) and then convert/encode the MKVs with Handbrake.

I do the conversion/encoding because the ripped files can be 35-50 GBs for regular Blu Rays (UHD Blu Rays are even bigger!) and I can get them down to 3-8 GBs with minimal quality loss.

I then toss the smaller MKVs on my jellyfin server.

EDIT: Handbrake CAN rip Blu Rays but only if they arent copy protected. MakeMKV is able to rip protected Blu Rays and DVDs.

This means I no longer have to use my workaround command that loads a new terminal window with admin privileges!

Now, I might not completely loathe using Windows at work.

One good thing that came from this post is I learned about Jshelter and have decided to give it a go.

Let’s give some credit and praise to Codeweavers, the main contributors to WINE, who Valve worked with on Proton.

If you keep Bitlocker enabled on that partition you will have to enter the recovery key everytime you boot into your Linux partition. Since you don’t have that key backed up you’ll need to turn it off and then re-enable it if you wish to continue to use Bitlocker.

If you manually enable bitlocker you will be prompted to back up the key with a few different options: to a file (but if I recall you’ll need to save the file to a drive that isn’t be encrypted by Bitlocker) or to a Microsoft account.

To answer your question regarding best practice, Full Disk Encryption is best practice. Now to achieve that in Windows you use Bitlocker, Linux there is Luks, and macOS has filevault.

If your machine isn’t going anywhere outside your home then it’s not as big of a deal if the drive isn’t encrypted.

Regarding your situation FDE is going to be a bit of a pain whether you use Bitlocker or Luks. I suggest using db2’s suggestion and run a VM creating a shared folder between host and guest. Then you can encrypt the entire drive using the best encryption tool for the host OS (which I suggest be Linux).

Edit: Replaced the ‘b’ with a space between “db2’s” and “suggestion”

If you don’t need/want Bitlocker simply boot into Windows go into the bitlocker settings and turn off bitlocker (dont use suspend as bitlocker will be re-enabled the next time you boot into Windows). You will need to wait for Bitlocker to decrypt before shutting down - there will be a small status window that appears showing the progress and it shouldn’t take too long.
