  • I concur with others that your question depends a lot on where you live.

    In my country if I take a “seedbox” in a datacenters I’m pretty much safe to pirate. The copyright holders don’t bother with that.

    On the other hand I have received a threatening email from some government agency because I downloaded a blockbuster movie on torrent without a VPN.

    Your first step should be to check if there is any precedent of people having legal troubles or ISP threats after pirating where you live.

    Then you can decide on the available avenues to go around that.

    In many countries, anti piracy laws can be very dumb (mostly because they are the result of technically illiterate lawmakers).

    Again I could pirate everything online if the IP that does it for me is in a datacenter. But the second I would do that directly at home and I could get in trouble.

    For example I could have a seedbox download for me some content on torrents and then upload it to a file hoster like mega or something. And then I download that file without triggering any copyright holder scanners. It’s stupid but if the torrenting is done by a business for me, it’s off radar. But it’s quite risky if I do it myself…



  • I think Bazzite is the “easiest”. But I think it would be very difficult to tinker for someone not used to Linux. It’s the plug and play option. For me the fact that bazzite tries to be immutable is a very good plus for stability on the long run. And somehow fits well for gaming on Linux. The drawback is that these immutable distro are hard to tinker with if you dont have experience with immutable package managers and so on.

    CachyOS has maybe a more traditional structure but should offer good performance too.

    There is also Nobara and Pop OS.

    I’m on PoPOS but it’s too recent for me to give feedback for gaming. But it should work well too.





  • I would say it doesn’t exactly say that AI is bad moreso that shoving it forcefully in people’s throat is not the way to do it.

    If all the BS AI of Windows would be exclusively opt-in I would be “” fine"" with it.

    Then there is also the “telemetry” and the random updates, or settings changing on their own and…








  • Yeah I think it’s just a false alarm.

    I would suggest looking into how sudoers works. I might just be that you asked caddy to do something that required root and forgot to sudo the command ?

    Still double check the timestamp and verify that it was when you tinkered. Use “history” to look for previous commands and maybe the timestamp ?

    The way I see it something (probably caddy) wanted to check a TLS certificate and had to concatenate all the certificate authorities to check if an adequate CA was there. And it failed to access what looks like a local CA that is autosigned ? Still worth checking your CA has adequate / similar permission as the others.
