  • You do, especially if its a new game.

    I had seen other comments mentioning the same and had considered mentioning that is out of reach for a lot of people but then didn’t.

    Like my PC is running STALKER 2 great on the lowest settings, but if I had to run it through a VM first I would lose a lot of performance and probably dip below 60fps.

    Most games people want to pirate are brand new so telling them to do something like reformat their (probably only) PC to run baremental Linux with a Windows VM for the game is just silly and unreasonable. At that point you may as well just buy the game if you need a whole extra computer to pirate it safely.

    I couldn’t possibly run brand new games in a VM and I only have one computer that can even play modern games. Silly suggestion.








  • I have all my devices set to reboot once weekly a few hours after daily scheduled updates. I probably don’t need to do this, but I do. It’s a habit I got in with scheduling router reboots, and then started extending it to other devices. It’s nice to have some solid uptime, but I have three unbound DNS servers in sequence so they update and reboot on a staggered schedule so it’s like they never go down.

    You never know when the odd cosmic ray is gonna hit and flip yer bits.
