The other day I saw a bunch of USB sticks for sale at a gas station with greatest hits of various artists and music genres and it got me thinking of physical piracy again. It's something I haven't consumed for over 15 years, but with the fall of prices of USB sticks it is completely viable economically if you do the math, and I...
If they come up with some way to make it as hard as possible for the buyers to share these cracked games among them, they could make a lot of money with this.
You can probably already do this on Termux, since PiHole doesn't need graphical acceleration.
Might have to create a proper Chroot though, dunno if their Proot tools would have enough privileges for this use case.
I've used Windows Firewall for my whole life but I'm curious if anyone has any recommendations for a solid FOSS replacement. I do still use Windows on one of my systems on a daily basis but I always try to replace as much as possible with FOSS alternatives....
I like Simplewall.
By default, it blocks everything and shows you a popup whenever an app or service tries to make a connection, similar to LittleSnitch for MacOS if you're familiar with that.
The first few minutes can be a bit annoying as you figure out just how many background services in Windows are trying to phone home, but after that, great peace of mind knowing nothing will talk to the internet without you knowing.
Definitely overkill for most users, but if you don't mind the initial burden, highly recommend.
It's a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...
It's what they should have done from the beginning, there must be a horde of MSFT employees holding back the urge of saying "told you so" to their boss right now lol
This is something I'll never understand. If I won the lottery tomorrow I'd disappear in a puff of smoke. You wouldn't catch me dead making a Tweet about it, much less fighting people over random bullshit

I have been using the Wayland session for a while (I was on for months on 5), and it solved so many multi-monitor woes it has been worth the switch. So far my only complaint is that remote access solutions are rather limited on Plasma, with Sunshine and Moonlight being the only consistently working solution, as Krfb (VNC) crashes randomly, doesn't handle modifier keys well and forces you to click "OK" on a dialog every startup, thus making it useless for unattended access (Plasma issue).
