OP sounds like a victim of Python 3, finding various Python 2 projects on the internet, a venv isn’t going to help

The rest of the world is already overeducated on US politics. I don’t know the electoral system of my neighboring countries even though that’s just as important, if not more. But US politics is shoved down everyone’s throats. Too much! Handle your internal shit internally and don’t spill the sewage all over the internet.

It’s not inconvenient truth, it’s white noise for the rest of the world

Give it a viking funeral, now is the best season for bonfires!

Have you met people?

For that one time when systemd-logind crashed on every boot on an unmodified CentOS install because of an OOM.

Yeah, one man did hours of profiling and the other made the patch more elegant lol

Well, DRM is not the problem here, I don’t trust the games too. DRM or not, they can do what they want with my data.

I’m not saying DRM is good but it’s not in the scope of this post.

Which hypervisor? I tried booting a physical install this year with VirtualBox and two decades ago with VMWare Player and both times ended up with damaged bootloader that was unable to boot from bare metal

I wrote something myself because I wanted PGP support, but saw some apps on Google Play (I’ve been still using it back then). I can’t recommend anything, sorry.

For calls - yeah, tough stuff. I’e been looking to do the same thing you did, and found there are GSM USB dongles (modems) that can work with Asterisk to forward calls, so you’d use a raspberry pi instead of a smartphone. But I never implemented it, people gradually stopped calling me and there was just no motivation.

Wow, the first time I read the word “paste” in a different context than computer clipboard!

For texts with parcels etc I have an old phone in a drawer which forwards texts to my email. Doesn’t leak anything because it does not move.

Are you aware that using the same device with different SIMs is not helping your anonymity because IMEI is the same?

Power to you for not having GSM enabled on your phone though

Sunshine sounds pretty decent but yeah, one step at a time. Thank you.

Sunshine in general sounds very tempting, I don’t play AAA games so an old laptop may be sufficient for most games, and the desktop clients are free.

I doubt the potentially malicious games will have code sophisticated enough to bypass a sandbox, just because majority of users don’t have a sandbox for them, and I’m not paranoid enough to fear targeted attacks. Other than that, the game shouldn’t have access to my home directory or network.

Amazing, this way I could restrict network access with normal tools like firejail instead of fiddling with Flatpak. I’ve never heard of this tool before: https://mr_goldberg.gitlab.io/goldberg_emulator/

That is an interesting idea, I was about to buy a GPU for AI, right now I have one whose primary feature is not using a lot od energy. Am I going to need a dedicated monitor for games if I set it up this way?
