For me this falls in the category of “sit back and eat popcorn”. Both sides are arseholes I don’t mind which loses, in fact it’s a shame they all can’t lose

Disappointing tgat we arent when you put it that way

You don’t need to give the VM network access to download the software if you have a linux host. You can directly mount a virtual box drive from the host, copy the file(s) onto the drive and then unmount it and start the VM as per normal.

Search for qemu-nbd iirc (network block device) - I have the how to details saved on my host (ie not on me) so ping me if you want them. Note it’s a qemu app that works for vbox

Could be worth asking on selfhosted (how do I link a sub on lemmy ?) They probably have more relevant experience at this sort of thing.

Edit

Does this work ?

Thank you

What is the difference between type 1 & 2 please ?

Popular support rarely changes anything. Money talks to power, people talk to themselves

Lol. Yeah that was my reaction to the headline as well. “You did what ?”

Https://1ft.io also seems to work and by the branding seems unrelated to 12ft

Definitely on there

Slanted but accurate.

Neither Lemmy nor Reddit are private, they’re both publicly indexable (google et al).

On the other hand reddit goes to a lot of trouble to capture everything about you. Lemmy is not quite that greedy.

One is a for profit willing to do whatever it takes to make a buck. The other is FOSS and run by volunteers.

I think it’s pretty clear which is the greater threat.

The plural of anecdote isnt data. I’ve been riding for 45 years and I’m still here.

Data shows the vast majority of 2 vehicle motorcycle accidents are the fault of the other vehicle

PIA were taken over by a very dodgy company a couple of years ago, I don’t recommend people use them.

Yeah I had to unsub from technology for that reason the Musk-derangement is so strong there it just made it unusable.

(Musk derangement in the sense that he does whatever his latest idiocy is then a thousand people pile in with increasingly deranged comments. )

1 Varies by brand and model, but usual a cellular connectivity module, aka telematics. Some cars you can simply pull a fuse, some make it hard

2 Killing the telematics by pulling a fuse can cut off inbuilt navigation functions or the entire display and control system depending on how integrated it is. Work arounds can include pulling the GSM module or faraday caging the antenna.

Need specific models for more specific answers.

Well given op said download it from microsoft then yes it will be riddled with spyware but that’s the genuine windows experience® for you…

The downvoted guy you replied to is right. You can download the (genuine) iso off microsoft and install it without paying M$ anything, it will work fine other than not being able to change wallpaper etc.

If that small restriction annoys you the MAS (linked elsewhere in thread) is the answer

Yup. Nvidia are installable on any linux distro, some just have tools to make it easy.

I don’t recommend ubuntu but it has an easy to use device manager that makes installing nvidia straight forward.

I would suggest you look instead at Mint which has all the good stuff from ubuntu with all the cruft removed

Not everyone on the internet lives in western countries with 1gb fibre connections, hell remote parts of the US are still stuck on very slow ADSL if they don’t have access to starlink.

Your seeder may be in ButtFucke WY or could be in a little village in Phillipines or Nigeria
