As long as the game on steam isn’t using a DRM like Denuvo, Enigma, etc then I can backup and play them even without steam.

It’s just that if the game uses Steam DRM then I’d have to use a steam emulator like Goldberg/gbe_fork to play the game. Sometimes you’d also have to remove SteamStub DRM from the game exe files using Steamless.

GOG is easier since you don’t need to mess with steam emulators and such. You also won’t run into the issue of having to manually create windows registry entries that some old games need. GOG installers will create those windows registry entries for you.

There’s also a new activation method in MAS (Microsoft Activation Scripts) that enables the commercial ESU with 3 more years of updates. The regular consumer ESU just gets you 1 more year of security updates.

My bash prompt is just me copying the prompt I have set on fish.

# Prompt
green=$'\e[38;5;2m'
bright_red=$'\e[38;5;9m'
bright_green=$'\e[38;5;10m'
reset=$'\e[0m'

prompt_command()
{
    local exit_status=$?

    if [[ $exit_status != 0 ]]; then
        exit_color=$bright_red
        exit_prompt=" [$exit_status]"
    else
        exit_color=$bright_green
        exit_prompt=""
    fi
}

PROMPT_COMMAND=prompt_command
PS1='\[$green\]\w\[$exit_color\]$exit_prompt\n❯ \[$reset\]'

I have a small issue with this prompt though. Sometimes the ❯ ends up turning white for some reason.

I haven’t had any issues with the kernel yet. The worst thing that I can remember doing is messing up the systemd boot entry on my Arch Linux install.

Yeah. I just found out about it by accident when I ran it with the --help flag.

I’d like to add that you can setup desktop shortcuts pretty easily for Mullvad and TOR browser manual installs. For TOR browser simply run this after opening a terminal in the folder it was extracted to:

./start-tor-browser.desktop --register-app

Same thing should work for mullvad.

It is the default atime option used when mounting if I’m correct. If it’s an ubuntu specific mount option it will be specified in /etc/fstab file.

You can run this to check

findmnt --real

I actually use both in fish. I use aliases for some longer commands. For example I have la as an alias for eza -la --icons=auto --group-directories-first because I don’t really want to see it every time I run la. I use abbreviations for some shorter commands. For example systemctl abbreviated to sys and systemctl --user abbreviated to sysu.

Personally, I always use MusicBrainz Picard to tag any music I download, so it doesn’t matter if what I downloaded has incomplete metadata.

If I don’t end up finding the correct release for metadata on MusicBrainz, then I just add it to the database myself (there’s tools and scripts to make it easier to add digital releases).

I use Firefox as my main browser. I use the multi-account containers extension in Firefox to seperate my browsing activities. Brave is installed as a backup in case firefox fails me. I use TOR browser for searching for stuff that I don’t want linked to me.

My understanding is they cache the files and lets you download from their servers for faster speeds.

Wdym it’s not on the megathread? it’s still listed as one of the GOAT direct download websites.

Personally I don’t really care too much about whether it’s moral or not. I pirate when I feel like it and don’t when I don’t feel like it. I also pay for some things that I pirated before and enjoyed as long as it isn’t too expensive.

The source code is even hosted on GitHub which is owned by Microsoft.

I think you mean opnsense. I’m currently using openwrt with tailscale and adguard installed which is a pretty good option as well.

I get them from the Officially Translated Light Novels torrent from nyaa.si. If you don’t want to use the torrent then you can use the mega link in the torrent description to DDL novels.

This looks like a pretty fun show. I’m adding it to my plan to watch list. Thanks.
