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

I wrote something myself because I wanted PGP support, but saw some apps on Google Play (I’ve been still using it back then). I can’t recommend anything, sorry.

For calls - yeah, tough stuff. I’e been looking to do the same thing you did, and found there are GSM USB dongles (modems) that can work with Asterisk to forward calls, so you’d use a raspberry pi instead of a smartphone. But I never implemented it, people gradually stopped calling me and there was just no motivation.

For texts with parcels etc I have an old phone in a drawer which forwards texts to my email. Doesn’t leak anything because it does not move.

Are you aware that using the same device with different SIMs is not helping your anonymity because IMEI is the same?

Power to you for not having GSM enabled on your phone though

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?

I ended up using khal/ikhal. They’re CLI programs. I haven’t found a GUI one to work this way.

Plot thickens

Anyone else wondering what that bed notification is?

I haven’t had any problems with redmine itself but with dependencies and the Ruby runtime.

And if you’re saying I don’t have enough experience to make claims about Ruby dep management, I can say the same about you Python. Works flawlessly for me.

https://www.redmine.org/ is a standard rails webapp. Nothing special. Straightforward to update, just a few commands, the only quirk is that at least one step always fails. Some obscure bug in a dependency, some problem with expected vs installed system libraries, or my favourite, a Segmentation Fault.

Yeah, that’s why I’m stuck playing with one hand, never properly learned notation

Ruby, of all the examples you could come up with? My Redmine is updated only every few years because I rarely have a whole day to deal with the mess that is Ruby deps managent.

Java deals with this ellegantly.

I believe you!

Most preschool kids know what an A4 sheet is. Not sure how it can be used more.

I remember trying to understand Vorbis fixed point codebase, it was completely bonkers, the three of us on this task couldn’t even draw a rough control flow diagram.
