but stability isn’t something that would drive a gentoo user away either.

a lot of the draw of gentoo from what I saw was being able to configure everything down to how it gets compiled. it’s simple to apply a patch to a package before it gets built or maintain a custom kernel config in nixos, as well as all the advantages of declarative os

podman works on windows hosts, as long as you don’t need windows containers

I’ve never used it but this one seems like the most complete currently, and it’ll tell you which tests fail.

even with cpu passthrough some things are still emulated. you can run a vm detector and see for yourself what tests fail.

it may not affect your games but others should still be careful since it is a real issue, and people do get banned for it.

proton has support for quite a few kernel level anti cheat now, although it has to be explicitly allowed by the dev. needs to be run via steam I think, but you can add non steam games if you got them elsewhere

machine id isn’t necessarily the important part. anticheat and vm detection check a lot of different heuristics incl hard to defend against things like timing attacks on particular cpu instructions. there’s a handful of open source versions if you’re curious

you have to be more specific lol

just tesselate the world with hexagons and say you’re in a specific one? that doesn’t give precise proximity but does expose your general area.

this does the opposite, doesn’t expose your general area but let’s you determine if it is close to some other location via an expensive comparison. the precision of proximity isn’t tied to how precise a location/small a hexagon you’re exposing

as per the first paragraph of the intro of the linked paper, it’s safer to store this than it is an actual location. if data gets leaked it’s like leaking a hashed password instead of a plaintext one. their example is device trackers.

no, it’s still a smoother experience ootb for things like c# desktop apps. in vscode you don’t get a wysiwig wpf designer and such, and xaml completion is worse to non existent.

It does seem to be a newer dev thing though, myself and my jr devs use vscode as much as we can and jump back to VS only when necessary, the older devs on my team are all 100% visual studio and will be forever

pinecil can be battery powered too and I’ve had a good time with mine. granted the battery is either a laptop power bank or a drill battery, but it’s still portable enough for me

for people ootl on D like me, this seems to explain the problems: https://dpldocs.info/this-week-in-arsd/Blog.Posted_2024_01_01.html

I feel like I had a problem socially starting jr high without a phone at all in late 00s. All your friends communicate/plan/etc over phones so not having one you’re missing out on all of that.

Smartphone is debatable, but I feel like 6/7th grade kinda needs a phone of some sort in current society

it’s tied to packagekit, so tumbleweed should work ootb. opensuse’s immutable distro is less likely to be possible though, as well as anything else like that

yeah but I’m not going to be able to make a Bambu printer in the US since it is a product produced by a Chinese company. A Voron is different since I can source parts from US based companies and put it together myself in the US.

a voron is american made depending on where you make it

only sort of.

this is the original document defining markdown, and you’ll notice it doesn’t really specify a lot of the things that have compatibility issues across different markdown processors, along with allowing arbitrary html which really depends on where you’re showing it. There’s a list of ambiguous syntax here.

CommonMark is as close to a standard as we have.

idk if it would be manual, isn’t the point of ab root to rollback if it doesn’t properly boot afterwards?

tailscale also just has a button to buy/enable mullvad as an exit node. if you’re just looking for a commercial vpn for privacy it works well.

idk, I’m 6’6 and I despise having to drive full size pickups and SUVs. they’re made for short people to feel tall. A decent proportion I can’t even see street lights in lol.

The cars that have been good for me have been weird, like my s10 fits me better than any full size truck, outbacks and other cuv aren’t bad either, especially newer ones. I’ve heard there are sedans that are better fit for taller/bigger people, but I haven’t looked much there
