What I’m getting at is that for people using FDE, any performance hit is worth it compared to worrying that you’ve covered every angle.

Suppose you’re in some hypothetical country where torrenting is illegal. The presence of /usr/bin/qbittorrent on your disk could be enough to face charges. Unencrypted /var/log? Maybe they can see you’ve been running a cryptocurrency miner. There could be plenty of data outside of $HOME on your computer which a cop might try to use against you.

In the most paranoid hypothetical scenario, someone could mount your unencrypted /usr/bin and replace openssl with a compromised version.

It looks like the evolutionary advantage is still debated. There’s a newer hyopethsis that, because psilocybin evolved during a period of heightened gastropod diversity, it could be defence against snails.

When I was a student, my school had analog clocks that were synced via some electric system.

TempleOS was written mostly in HolyC, not assembly.

Hey, not everyone was born to be a king.

I wouldn’t think so. Isn’t bottles just an easier way to manage wine prefixes? If so, it doesn’t do anything to hide your Linux system from the executable.

Wine prefixes are not sandboxes. They are a way to separate the windows-level configuration for different programs (eg env vars, or drivers, etc).

Wine is a translation layer between a compiled windows binary and your Linux syscalls/libraries/device drivers/etc, nothing more.

Wine is not an emulator. It’s not sandboxed either. If you can do it as a user, a program running in wine can do it too.

There’s nothing stopping a piece of malware from crawling your disk for sensitive information, or encrypting your files for ransom.

Everyone Nokia user knows that Space Impact was a better game than Snake

There are some sites where Anubis won’t let me through. Like, I just get immediately bounced.

So RIP dwarf fortress forums. I liked you.

Malware or not, remember to update WinRAR

• I like sharing
• I never found any good direct downloads for all the movies and shows I wanted

What do you mean by handling the keyfile?

You can generate your ssh keys outside of docker and make them available in the container through a mounted directory. You will need to manually copy the public key to your remote host authorized_keys file anyway.

The pain of keeping it around will outweigh the pain of needing it and not having it.

Quick boot into windows to help a friend test something on your machine?

• Twenty-five bajillion updates since you never logged in
• Windows “helpfully” cleaning up your Linux bootloader
• Any shared NTFS partition between windows and Linux is almost guaranteed to be left in a “dirty” state when windows shuts down, meaning you have to run ntfsfix before Linux will mount it again

And suddenly, that’s where you’ll be spending the whole afternoon. I agree with the others who say a VM is probably good enough.

I’ve got friends who are vibing without a job. The vibes are… not so good.

Shouldn’t he be folding little origami animals or something?

You should report this to somewhere like 404 media

I do that for data I want to persist, but which I don’t care about backing up (eg caches)
