What's the most obscure distro you can think of
  • but stability isn't something that would drive a gentoo user away either.

    a lot of the draw of gentoo from what I saw was being able to configure everything down to how it gets compiled. it's simple to apply a patch to a package before it gets built or maintain a custom kernel config in nixos, as well as all the advantages of declarative os

  • Is there an easy way of having a vm with gpu pass through to play windows games ?
  • even with cpu passthrough some things are still emulated. you can run a vm detector and see for yourself what tests fail.

    it may not affect your games but others should still be careful since it is a real issue, and people do get banned for it.

  • Is there an easy way of having a vm with gpu pass through to play windows games ?
  • machine id isn't necessarily the important part. anticheat and vm detection check a lot of different heuristics incl hard to defend against things like timing attacks on particular cpu instructions. there's a handful of open source versions if you're curious

  • Zero-Knowledge Location Privacy via Accurate Floating-Point SNARKs
  • you have to be more specific lol

    just tesselate the world with hexagons and say you're in a specific one? that doesn't give precise proximity but does expose your general area.

    this does the opposite, doesn't expose your general area but let's you determine if it is close to some other location via an expensive comparison. the precision of proximity isn't tied to how precise a location/small a hexagon you're exposing

  • Zero-Knowledge Location Privacy via Accurate Floating-Point SNARKs
  • as per the first paragraph of the intro of the linked paper, it's safer to store this than it is an actual location. if data gets leaked it's like leaking a hashed password instead of a plaintext one. their example is device trackers.

  • Sanders: Democratic Party ‘has abandoned working class people’
  • there is the democratic socialists of america that have a handful of elected officials, oddly not including bernie. it seems like they're more of a sub party or organization within the dems though, not their own party

  • It's not just a browser
  • llvm exists. it might be a bit of effort if you've used too many proprietary gcc extensions, but for most things I don't think it's terrible to just switch between gcc and clang

  • Finally did it, got my parent on linux.
  • no, it's still a smoother experience ootb for things like c# desktop apps. in vscode you don't get a wysiwig wpf designer and such, and xaml completion is worse to non existent.

    It does seem to be a newer dev thing though, myself and my jr devs use vscode as much as we can and jump back to VS only when necessary, the older devs on my team are all 100% visual studio and will be forever
