For people who can spare $100-$200, I recommend buying an old ThinkPad or Dell business class laptop off eBay. Install Windows, update it, and stick it in your closet.

Because yes, sometimes you just need a Windows machine. VMs will cover most one off Windows requirements, but nothing beats a bare metal install.

Obviously this is not a solution for gaming, just the odd piece of Windows only software you need to run, or hardware you need to interface with that doesn't have Linux drivers.

It's real. I used to buy Nike brand ecstasy all the time.

If you have a Nike store in your town, I recommend you go in and ask for the triple stacks.

There's still way too many niche communities on Reddit that just haven't taken off on Lemmy e.g. alternative and non-team sports.

There's a ViolentMonkey script that can automatically delete all of your Reddit comments. I just run that every few days.

It's not ideal, but it's the best that I can do if I value access to those communities, which I do.

Goddammit.

This is is actually the most rational and practical advice here.

Pack it people, we're done here.

I am seriously impressed that The Guardian had the balls to post an entire article quoting this piece of shit, highlighting how much a piece of shit he truly was.

Truly a based response to his assassination and the real-time revisionist history being peddled not just by those on the right, but by mainstream center-left politicians and journalists.

It's a QEMU specific vulnerability.

I skimmed most of the article, glad to see it's been patched.

It looks like the attack vector requires access to a VM on the host machine i.e. public cloud/VPS.

So maybe not a huge risk exclusively for self hosted configurations?

He died doing what he loved, scapegoating African Americans.

Godbless.
