Yeah, one man did hours of profiling and the other made the patch more elegant lol

Well, DRM is not the problem here, I don’t trust the games too. DRM or not, they can do what they want with my data.

I’m not saying DRM is good but it’s not in the scope of this post.

Which hypervisor? I tried booting a physical install this year with VirtualBox and two decades ago with VMWare Player and both times ended up with damaged bootloader that was unable to boot from bare metal

Sunshine sounds pretty decent but yeah, one step at a time. Thank you.

Sunshine in general sounds very tempting, I don’t play AAA games so an old laptop may be sufficient for most games, and the desktop clients are free.

I doubt the potentially malicious games will have code sophisticated enough to bypass a sandbox, just because majority of users don’t have a sandbox for them, and I’m not paranoid enough to fear targeted attacks. Other than that, the game shouldn’t have access to my home directory or network.

Amazing, this way I could restrict network access with normal tools like firejail instead of fiddling with Flatpak. I’ve never heard of this tool before: https://mr_goldberg.gitlab.io/goldberg_emulator/

That is an interesting idea, I was about to buy a GPU for AI, right now I have one whose primary feature is not using a lot od energy. Am I going to need a dedicated monitor for games if I set it up this way?

Alright then, I guess it’s time for attempt #3 with the newly acquired knowledge. Thanks!

Since when? I made two attempts over many years and an elaborate offlineimap and msmtp setup was needed both times.

Alpine is an email client.

Mutt is a maildir reader which you can use as a part of your DIY email client.

It may have to start being my thing, I moved to a place on ground floor with no sunrise or sunset view. I never thought about it when moving, so now I’ll have to supplement my sunset intake

That is a great use of this tool that I have not thought about!

Trail Sense, it’s all the “survival” tools in one great package. Do I use it often? No. Does it feel like unwrapping my favourite toy every time I open it? Absolutely.

Syncthing has a concept of untrusted node, which only gets to store files, not see them

I remember these times, then I started buying hardware with 1st class Linux support. Highly recommend when it’s time to upgrade!

2nd comment with the same typo, are you using dictation?

Yeah I got old man’s habits after having no energy for the same reason as you. Save that sweet energy whenever you can.

If I wanted a phone nobody else has, I’d get a Pinephone.

I went a step further and am paying an accountant to handle this mess, using my favourite libre email client to contact her. I know, it’s a privileged position.
