This is the correct answer. The only thing I would add is some devices don’t allow changing the DNS IPs and are hard coded to 8.8.8.8 so Google blocking sites via DNS is still an issue. Of course you could intercept these requests, but with DNS over HTTPS becoming more popular, i would imagine that device manufactures will also start to do certificate pinning as well to prevent people from using their own DNS server.

I haven’t played the Switch version in a few years, but it at least used to be cross platform multiplayer. Not sure if it still is?

Does Steam have built in Chromecast support, or are you mirroring the whole Desktop? I’ve had good success with Moonlight, to use Steam Streaming, but have never tried with a Chromecast.

There’s something so poetic in the way you write.

Obviously this is antithetical to this community, but when Stadia was a thing, it was actually really amazing. Playing Cyberpunk 2077 on release day with a shit PC blew me away. I’m not sure how it worked in Australia, but the lag was only noticeable sometimes, and never was a distraction or took away from the game play. GeForce Now is ok, but they need to support your game, and then you need to purchase the game + have a subscription. I know Stadia got a lot of shit, and also had a limited catalog, but it actually got me to buy cutting edge games, sometimes on release day, with no subscription.

For me, piracy is not about cost, but more for combating anti-consumer behavior by corporations. Say what you will about Google, but Stadia was actually a good product. I guess it’s just good they killed it before they could enshitify it.

NGL I think whatever you’re trying to do is either a limitation of the Roblox install or something else that isn’t specifically an OS X issue. The file permission stuff sounds weird and I’d reevaluate what you’re trying to do and if the approach is correct, especially if you’re going to have to turn off operating system security features to get it to work.

Let’s Encrypt supports DNS verification, if you have access to update the zone file. It makes automation harder, but there are scripts to do the DNS update for the verification.

Ah I see ok yeah that should be fine. I misread and thought you were going to sell the windows laptop and transfer the OS to a new machine.

As others have said, using dd will be a bit for bit copy of the drive, regardless of the filesystem. If you were only using 10GB, and the rest of the drive was “empty”, the output of dd will still be a 256GB file. You could compress this file with gzip if storage is a concern.

With regard to your plan with Windows, there is a hardware check that OS will perform and if the hardware drifts too much, the OS will not be activated anymore and will need a new license. I’m not familiar with recent versions of Windows, but if you have a Pro version of the OS, it might not work on new hardware.

The fire is quickly approaching your house. Your spouse is collecting the belongings/kids and asks you to check where is safe to go. You see an article published 1 minute ago from your local news with up to date information. You wouldn’t disable your ad block in this situation, and instead would still use archive.is?

dd is probably well known, but one of the simplest and most powerful ways to accidentally delete all data on your hard drive. dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sda

This is always my concern with creating git aliases, and find it’s just as easy to use the reverse search in shell to find git commit -a --amend --no-edit rather than make up an alias which just works on one machine. Also, a lot of the time I’m sharing my screen or sending the output to someone, and don’t want to have to explain what gcane means.

I do like the syntax highlighting plugin, that was new to me.

You could do something pretty cost efficiently with a Raspberry Pi that has composite video out: https://www.blakecarpenter.dev/using-a-raspberry-pi-with-a-crt-television/
