He details that his depression reached the point where his wife would not let him come home and that he lived in his parents’ basement in York.

Wow what a great wife…

The main settings that I mentioned are under integration services settings on the VM. There’s probably plenty of guides available on YouTube for Hyper-V along with the official Microsoft documentation (which probably isn’t that great).

Hyper-V is the hypervisor that the VM runs on. Yeah I don’t really know which malware scanners are the go to ones anymore. Just figure if I can get it to pass through 2 different ones ok then it’s probably ok. I’m sure there’s some other good ones out there. I’ve heard of ESET and virustotal, but I’m not familiar.

I use Hyper-V because I run server 2022 and it’s free. Hyper-V allows you to disable any host resource sharing in the VM settings.

On my sandbox VM I’ll scan the files then install and scan, then run the software and scan. I use both defender and I think malwarebytes. It’s a lot of extra work for no gain, but I’d rather be too careful than risk installing malware.

This is what I do. I have a VM for torrents and a VM sandbox to check stuff that I’m concerned about. At the host level I disable any type of sharing with the host, no copy paste, no sharing disks, nothing. The VM only gets the storage I assign to it and once I validate then I’ll detach and mount it to the host.

New isekais coming out daily, it’s out of hand.

Same, about 2-3 times over the years. Had to start over each time because I forgot everything. Just looking at the map gave me anxiety because it was just so much. I’m an OCD completionist, so I have to do everything, visit every place, collect everything. That game was just overwhelming. Everything else about it was great though.

Yup FLauncher, SmartTube, Stremio, and steam for game streaming from my PC to living room.

That headline is not directed at us gamers.

I just wrote a PowerShell script to do this for my pictures comparing file names and sizes. Should be able to find something similar with a search. Might not work for what you’re looking for unless they were exact copies though.

Which service are you using for this?

What a giant fucking piece of e-waste. Disposable vapes are stupid and harmful to the environment. Buy a vape that has replaceable cartridges/pods.

I really need to do a test restore. I’ve been backing my NAS up to B2 for about a year now and haven’t done one yet.

Same, just need to find the time and motivation. I have all of the equipment I need.

Hey, another reason not to buy a German car. On top of being unreliable, expensive to fix, and requiring proprietary tools to maintain or repair.

Agreed. I think whenever the next steam deck iteration comes out, I’ll get it. I don’t usually like buying the first iteration of something.

And this is why I fight moving to the cloud constantly. They keep jacking prices too, so it is no longer cheaper to move infrastructure to the cloud except in certain scenarios.

I missed them. Went to a festival several years ago and they were supposed to be playing on one of the smaller stages, but we got there late and missed all of the other sets except for the headliners. It was my first concert and I wasn’t the one who planned the trip. That was the only band I was disappointed that I missed though.
