They don’t. One article lied, people never read anything but the title and here we are this getting mentioned every once in a while.

And then your keys will be rejected by the anticheat. Just because you can sign your kernel and load it does not mean a kernel module can’t verify who signed it.

Kernel level anti cheats require secure boot. You can’t just “lie” and load an unsigned kernel.

Just want to point out you don’t need beefy hardware if you’ll use jellyfin only in your network or if you won’t stream very heavy media over the internet. If your library is mostly 1080p, you’ll be able to stream that without transcoding for the most part.

Sure hope not. If I wanted to run rookits I’d just use Windows. Why bother with Linux?

This is why I don’t want more Linux adoption and don’t understand people cheering every new user. We’re in a sweet spot where a lot of games enable userland anticheat while we don’t get kernel level ports (however they may be shipped doesn’t matter). The only thing that’ll come out of more adoption is kernel level anticheat ports that’ll probably work with a few corporate backed distros only and we’ll actually lose the games we have today. Because those will switch over the kernel level alternatives too.

The only way I’d like Linux to be a generic multiplayer platform is server side anticheats. It is very obviously the way to go and we are seeing extremely slow adoption (e.g. Marvel Rivals).

Linkding is a bookmark aggregator that can save pages for offline viewing including a simplified reader view.

DNS blocking if their telemetry domains are separate from game domains. They could technically do their own DNS resolution though.

You people are going to hate me for thid but it’s not a privacy concern if they block piracy domains ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Would they really though? Being in Switzerland is a huge part of their brand and marketing.

Yes immich supports scanning external libraries but doesn’t store the processed data in the external library.
