Minecraft, the game that sold the most copies in history, has a huge infrastructure of community-hosted servers, some with tens of thousands of players playing at the same time. The community has created different flavors of the server software, optimized it, added mod support and even reprogrammed parts of it.

At this point, it's hard for me to believe how someone could say a community can't run game servers with a straight face.

Publish schematics with every piece of hardware you make. Paradise for repair technicians and retro tech enthusiasts in a few decades.

The prohibition is not for your health, it's because everyone else also has to breathe your smoke.

Smoke in private, not in public places, and especially not in public places where children play.

Lucida already didn't rip from spotify, nor does doubledouble. Try to get your songs from another service if they're available (Qobuz and Tidal usually have good availability and high quality)

I've always heard this claim, but in reality I've had more luck running old software on linux with wine than on windows.

Windows has a lot of old bloat still around (even some win3.11 apps remain on win11), but that doesn't mean it's that good at backwards compatibility. Backwards compatibility also requires an effort, which Microsoft doesn't want to make.

Linux apps follow simplicity principles. If you don't have permission to delete a file, why assume you may know the password of the user who has permission?

You can preface sudo to any command to execute it with root privileges, which would be similar to running as admin in windows.

Graphical apps do tend to ask for authentication if it makes sense. No userland apps should need more permissions than the current user's in order to run.

Spain used to have a budget of around 1% of their GDP for the military. It was so much that they actually could not spend it. Now that the budget has tripled almost overnight, they are having an internal crisis because there is no way they can use up all that money, even if they overbought 200% of supplies and overpaid for them.

Increasing military budget is useless, because the service will not improve with it, just the useless spending and inefficiency. And because of the rushed spending, I'm sure the move will increase corruption.

Last I heard is that he compiles the kernel on an AMD machine (with a threadripper iirc), so he also has a beefy desktop.

I've been looking for that version for years, but for some reason I can't find it anymore

It really isn't that slow, last time I tried to homebrew a working DNS tunnel it maxed my 100mbps card. I never needed the extra speed so I didn't try to see how fast it could be on a 1gbps card

Probably the port forwarding was automatically set up by UPnP, which is also something that can't be done on a vpn without port forwarding. If you have a tracker, the torrent might also work, but then the tracker itself would have to be port forwarded.
