c11 threads seem to be supported by msvc https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/c11-threads-in-visual-studio-2022-version-17-8-preview-2/

Probably gcc supports it on both mac and MS

Some experts say the numbers are fuelled by unscrupulous immigration-brokers, who sell fake documents and concocted stories to well-off Indian nationals seeking greener pastures in North America.

"People who are actually refugees, people who actually suffer because of clashes between two ethnic communities, they don't get passports, they don't have money to come abroad," said Shinder Purewal, a political science professor at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Surrey, B.C.

imo its not big/useful enough to matter. if it did, MS would have wanted to buy it as well :)

I am kind of afraid to read the last chapter, because then ill finish it...

I had to read it twice lol

TIL, thanks.

Is it pre installed nowadays? I rember having to go to some store and doing stuff to get it...

Mounts and networks should be just checkboxes, dropdowns iirc.

Terminals are probably better on linux anyway, if we really want the stone age windows tools we can always ssh into it from windows.

I didnt really get the gui part, linux vm can have, and run GUIs, all the intellij stuff are available for linux natively. Even then iirc they can run with any linux remotely as well, just needs ssh. If you need it to run on windows like native apps, maybe use Xserver via ssh.

As far as quirks I read some comments in this thread about filesystem being too slow, maybe there are more.

And now that i have typed all these, if you want it to look and feel exactly as windows withput any compromise, idk...

Have you tried specifying your preferences in the config file and letting DNSCrypt find the best server?

Can you elaborate a bit on this? This isbwaht i have been trying to do. When it starts up it checks latency from the lists i have provided and uses them some order.

My internet provider loves to hijack DNS requests. It desn't matter if I use 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 it gives the same poisoned reply with e.g "As per court orders this website is blocked".

Just glanced through it, but I think my setup is quite similar. Haven't compared feature wise.

client -> pihole (docker) -> dnscrypt-proxy (docker)

And dnscrypt-proxy can be given a list of DoH, DNSCrypt servers it chooses based on some scheme

Yes

Add some ribbons and stickers?

I think the oldest I have, still in use, is more than a decade old...
