I’m participating but I have my doubts given the limited reach and the fact that this doesn’t address b2b spending. Maybe would be more effective as a weeklong boycott at the end of the fiscal quarter.

Still nice to have a formalized excuse to stop feeding the system and keep some money in my pocket.

I was never a huge fan of those binhex containers assuming that’s what you’re using. Updates become a chore for maintainers when containers try to do too much and they also become responsible for making sure everything works together. Also, just me, but I don’t like the idea of funneling other traffic that needs a vpn through a container that is tightly coupled to my torrent client.

Recommend trying a standalone transmission container and using a gluetun container’s network. https://docker-compose.de/en/gluetun/

There are other options such as qbittorrent or deluge though I would not recommend deluge due to IP leaks and it hasn’t been updated since 2022

Yes. It stopped being good around 2010-2012 depending on who you ask. Unfortunately there are still plenty of old blog posts praising it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ΜTorrent

Yep sounds like OP’s dual boot issues are due to installing windows last. It only overwrites boot each startup if it doesn’t have its own boot partition.

Also try btrfs on your linux partition for better interop. Somehow, windows btrfs drivers are much more mature than windows ext4 or linux ntfs drivers.

There is also nonsteamlaunchers but I haven’t tried it on desktop. Full disclosure, even on steam deck I swapped back to lutris because updating was clunky. Still, might be an option for you.

FWIW I don’t believe you are wrong. Most people advocating for/ fantasizing about violence have never experienced prolonged conflict. Sure, you’re hot shit the first day or two but even if the fighting stays a few hundred miles away, it becomes exhausting and sickening. Especially if you have a family to worry about.

All of this said, it is not the only reason to own a gun. Many own weapons for the purpose of self defense — whether that be from other people or wildlife. We own guns because we are afraid — justifiably or not.

Yes but this way you can have both without needing a second device
