“The big exceptions are video game consoles and alarm systems.”

Why specifically exclude game consoles?

The first one still holds up and is worth playing. IIRC there are some HD texture mods that make it even better.

I only read the title and love Mullvad but for torrenting I’d absolutely recommend a seedbox instead. Some ones I can recommend are Whatbox.ca if you’re in North America or Seedhost if you’re in the EU. Feralhosting isn’t bad either specially for the price.

I started with Feralhosting but decided I wanted to try racing and bought a custom tuned server. Then I realized I didn’t want to pay $100 a month and switched to Chmuranet (sp?) and didn’t like how they treated their customers. Then I tried Seedhost which was great but the peering to North America wasn’t ideal. Finally I ended up with Whatbox and I’ve been happy with them ever since.

I don’t unfortunately. This is from a conversation I had with a researcher in VM escape.

As far as I’m aware peripherals are not actually passed through exactly but rather emulated on the guest machine. When you pass through a peripheral you’re only passing the input of that device, data is not sent upstream.

Whereas passing through the GPU you’re providing a means of accessing non-emulated devices through the hardware itself bypassing the isolation provided by virtualization entirely.

GPU passthroughs can expose the host to a potentially compromised VM.

Not great but better than it used to be. Don’t do a GPU passthrough.

I’ll give that a try, thanks!

Yeah I would love a Discord alternative that I could actually convince my friends to use.

Remnant 2. I didn’t like the first one but man they’ve made an awesome sequel. It’s a ton of fun and very replayable, they’ve really managed to nail the Souls-Like formula while acing the procedural aspects as well.
