Lock her up! Lock her uuuh...him? Uh, look over there, that pig has a curly tail!

How will running a CA limit access? eg. Do you want to do client side cert validation? That sounds like an overcomplication. Also not ideal to run a CA (have signing keys) on the proxy server.

A supply chain attack of some kind. Perhaps the app was distributed via a private store app where the french authorities had some leverage. I wonder if we'll find out.

Never, nunca and niemals!

100% ChatGPT, seeded with the text. It was surprisingly good compared to the poems I normally get out of it.

I run a particular online windows game in a modded offline mode under Linux in network isolation and with a restricted apparmor profile. So far so good. Logs show no attempts to break out, except for the smoke test I run to ensure the sandbox is working. This is as much because of the random mods I install as the original devs (who could ban my online account).

On Windows, a VM would indeed be safer. GPU passthrough is possible .. I guess easier with Windows using an onboard GPU, then passing a discrete GPU to the VM. You'll lose some performance with a VM regardless, but it's easy to disable networking, back up and restore from a known good state, and burn it to the ground when needed.

He prefers Ayn Rand and rejoicing in the death of non-capitalists.

I took https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/blob/master/src/daemon/filter-chain/sink-virtual-surround-7.1-hesuvi.conf, and replaced hrir_hesuvi/hrir.wav with the full path to atmos.wav, which I downloaded from https://airtable.com/appayGNkn3nSuXkaz/shruimhjdSakUPg2m/tbloLjoZKWJDnLtTc

Here seems to be a walkthrough of it: https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/virtual-surround-sound-in-pipewire/24958

I also tried jconvolver in the past, but often hit issues when combined with pipewire. Pipewire's native virtual surround support just works when configured correctly.

You can change the default sink to go to the virtual surround device this way:

pactl list short sinks    # get sink name
pactl set-default-sink 

There will be a way to set the default in the pipewire config files (~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/*), too.

I use "catia" when I want to do manual audio routing, and I guess similar is possible with pavucontrol.

I honestly couldn't understand how people had any praise for him in years past. He always came across as (yet another) embarrassing forever teenager, born with a silver spoon in his mouth and little sympathy for or understanding of others.

This is in vast contrast to Bill Gates who (despite my loathing of Microsoft's business practices, especially in the 90's and early 00's) continued to grow and earned some respect with his philanthropic endeavours and just generally acting like an educated adult.

Still, I'd rather have fewer rich jetsetters and more competent Governments and international institutions, effectively working to better mankind.

If you torrent copyrighted material in Germany, you definitely want a VPN. Private law firms "representing copyright holders" regularly request information about consumers based on source IPs/protocol/ports from ISPs with a court's rubber stamp, then send out demand letters for hundreds of euros, with a risk of thousands if you choose to fight it.

Sometimes they follow up if you ignore it, sometimes not. It is horribly oppressive.

tl;dr germans who torrent from a consumer internet service should use a vpn

"You wouldn't worry what other people thought of you if you knew how seldom they did" ... good for those awkward teenage years. Conversely, it also highlights the value of receiving and giving attention.
