How much does the setup cost? assuming I’m already self hosting and have some disk space.

VPN and a seed box?

The House is still being counted. It’s very close, but not over yet.

He doesn’t have the House yet.

Mumble is another strong, open source, self-hosted option.

you really shouldn’t be using variables with the same name but different capitalization in the same sections of code anyway.

It’s a standard convention. Notice step #3 here: https://scottlilly.com/learn-c-by-building-a-simple-rpg-index/lesson-08-1-setting-properties-with-a-class-constructor/

Edit: Step #4 is a different standard convention that also applies here.

It doesn’t help that the vegans are right. The meat industry is a nightmare, terrible for the environment, and pretty bad for our health.

It’s insane that most Americans eat meat every day.

If I could put 100% tax on meat tomorrow I would, but that’s political suicide, so it’ll never happen. It’d be easier to adjust than you think. There are plenty of delicious vegetarian options, and it’d be a lot easier to choose those if they were more common.

I eat meat because it’s culturally acceptable, delicious, ubiquitous, and I don’t believe I can make a noticeable difference. But that doesn’t mean I think it’s right.

They were legally not allowed to as part of an agreement to not be s monopoly and allow competition.

Sure, but how much of that is justification and backpedaling?

If it’s worth a commit, it’s worth a description. “Address vulns” “fix config” “remove files”. It doesn’t take much. Even if it’s just “more address vulns”.

But shouldn’t be. How hard is it to summarize your work in a few words? Even a bad description is more memorable than a hash.

Lichess. It’s also completely free.

Do you know what a “strawman” argument is?

I guess you’re right as long as you don’t mind sharing your entire My Documents folder to the world.

a very limited set of folders my user has write permissions

On Windows?

files I keep under root user

On Windows? That’s not common practice.

a game can’t break my system

Is this like how you can’t get viruses without granting root?

Yeah, I trust Riot and Valve more than I trust Sony or the developers of Lethal Company or Among Us. Even with higher privs than those other companies get.

Because if PubG is compromised, I’m just as vulnerable as I am if Riot is compromised.

I get the technical difference, but when you combine it with practicality, it doesn’t make much difference on one hand. On the other, it does remove cheaters from my games.

If I cared that much I’d have ALL my games on a separate OS anyway. Maybe I will at some point.

I don’t think you understand how code works. What are you worried about it doing, and why does it need admin permissions to do that?

“Kernel” anticheat isn’t really any more dangerous than any other executable you run on Windows. Code from untrusted devs isn’t safe whether it has admin or not. Games made by small devs are much more dangerous than anything put out directly by Riot or Valve.

There’s a lot of hullabaloo that’s seeded and encouraged by those who make money on botting and cheats. It’s kind of valid, but it’s not a larger risk than installing pubg or among us or any other small game.

If you really want to be secure, you have to separate your gaming and personal machines, at least the OS and drives.

The Windows limitation might even make it more secure in that way, if you’re willing to limit Windows to games and use Linux for personal stuff. Even then, keeping drives isolated is difficult.

I can afford to have a driver if I’m splitting the cost with 400 of my closest friends.

Maybe he should buy Red Lobster, force them into unfavorable contracts for supplies, sell out their land from under them, and lease the land back to them about it.

Turning Point.

Done! You should see about 4 reports in !linux . Take a peek and see what that looks like from whatever client(s) you normally use. Note that you’re not always obligated to take action on things that are reported. You know where the reports come from and have a good idea of how reliable they are.
