Easy to proof: Vaccumated capsule to draw blood.
No contact with air and still red.

One could be rehabilitation, the other discipline?

You could limit the firewall to IP range(s) of your domestic (and other places of interest like work) connection.
This way they won’t come even close to even logging in.
And then you could do the other hardening on top.

Bandcamp: Semi. Because it was owned by Epic.
Dunno how bad it’s with Songtradr.

Couldnt OP use the boot loader feature of Windows and add their distro as anotger option?

Already fiddling around enough with tge stuff I do with my PC which I installed Win11 on and I am in the EU meaning less BS than the US version (no forced upgrades, no ads (as described by US citizens) and so on).

I use Debian on my server as it’s a tool. Same for my pc. And I have a steamdeck.
And every tool has it’s worth no matter if it’s made from shitty chinesium or baller titanium.
I like the way Windows handles most things and I prefer it over having to fiddle with the way every Linux distro does it’s own thing (and I will never use Ubuntu).

It will. And those that knew what they were doing behind the scenes before the public knew probably pulled out way before the market saw what would happen.
Now they will have a feast while the normal joe has a crashed portfolio because it’s not their day job to manage a stock portfolio.

Didnt even know Civ had a story. Only played Civ6 and didnt really bother looking to hard as I just expected a turn based strategy game.

And that’s totally okay, if you are fine with it.

You can’t compare open end games like Minecraft and Civ with a mainly story based game like GTA.
What you do after the campaign is your issue.
I just say that it’s understandable if you compare it to traditional media.

I will maybe buy it once it’s on sale.
No way in hell will I buy it for full price lol.

And the price creep will come because you and me are a very quiet minority in comparison to the casual games that buy a nee console solely to play the newest GTA or CoD.

Got my steam deck. I am fine without a switch.
Nothing lost and if I’d need it, emulation works good enough.

At least this game may be worth it if it’s $/h.
Nintendos game might be <40hours long of pure campaign (excluding open world games like pokemon)

I set mine up with Authelia 2FA and restricted media deletion to one user: The administrator.
All others arent allowed to delete. Not even me.

Veeam community edition is fine for most things.
If you are cheeky, generate yourself an NFR license on their website.

Edit: Veeam plans a Linux version for VBR 13.
Veeam Agent can run stand-alone on both Linux (only specific distros are actually supported. Non-supported might work) and Windows

Using Veeam.
It’s whole purpose is doing backups from small deployments up to the datacenter level.
Might be worth taking a look.
And the documentation is very good.

My life went down in Containment doing 1v1 splitscreem pvp with my friend.
I will never let anyone say Halo 2 was worse than any other entry.
It’s either Reach, CE or 2 (in the chronological order).

I mentioned one time pay.
If it’s that expensive, I can’t help you (or the devs) because I won’t play it then :-)

Not to mention: Snapshots.

Ain’t no way I’ll pay that.
I would have discussed if it meant a one time payment but hell nah.

My advice (if you can): Create a dedicated NAS VM and use samba the native way.
Or use a dedicated storage server with native samba.
