  • yes i did read OP.

    ed. i see this was downvoted without a response. But il put this out there anyway.

    If you host a public site, which you expect anyone can access, there is very little you can do to exclude an AI scraper specifically.

    Hosting your own site for personal use? IP blocks etc will prevent scraping.

    But how do you identify legitimate users from scrapers? Its very difficult.

    They will use your traffic up either way. Dont want that? You could waste their time (tarpit), or take your hosting away from public access.

    Downvoter. Whats your alternative?

    Windows as a daily driver, want to do some development / docker usage based on Linux - WSL. Also you can if I remember correctly only run windows containers on windows as well as linux containers. You cant run windows containers on a linux host

    You want to daily drive Linux but sometimes swap back to windows for some specific purpose (like specific games or applications that proton doesnt work with), Dual Boot

    Only reason I would use virtualbox over WSL is if I need to work with a fully fledged Linux OS. I havent needed to do this since WSL though

    To prep for dual booting, simplest is to have windows installed first then use the graphical installer from Linux distro which lets you select a partition to split, resize and setup GRUB etc. Very easy to do. BACK YOUR SHIT UP THOUGH
