Sadly VMs don’t work with the Anti-Cheat rootkits, one of the only reasons I still have Windows

Oh Windows knows this is the EFI partition, there is a flag for that. Windows just doesn’t care when it decides to nuke your bootloader with its own…

And yes, it’s still happening…

Thank you for the awesome instance and all of the work, I have been enjoying my time here, even if I am mostly lurking.

The motherboard I am using for my homeserver does have a com port, but I have yet to do anything with it (also I don’t know how I would connect to it)

I was using Quad9 for quite some time, but I had consistent problems with the DNS sometimes not working.

In my local network I switched to pihole with unbound as the resolver. Though this does require a bit more setup. I have unbound setup to serve expired records from the cache & prefetch comment queries, this helps with most of the delay.

On my phone I use dnsforge.de when I am not at home for example, and haven’t had any problems with unresponsive DNS so far.

I’ve been playing Elden Ring with the Seamless Co-op mod with a few friends, it’s been a blast so far.

You can do the same on Windows (mount ssh shares), there is an Fuse like project for Windows: WinFsp.

Agreed. And then there is the combo of the most recent NVIDIA driver and Debian Kernel that doesn’t work together. First time I actually had to downgrade a Kernel update though.

But I guess this could happen with every driver
