I don't think so, a Windows virus, is this, a malware specific to the Windows file system, the only which can make your day is a virus which affect the Boot sector. But on the other hand the risk is not very great, since MS devs have learned a lot in all these years when Windows was the main target for malware of all kinds, which is why W10/11 are very well shielded with Secure Boot, an excellent Sandbox system and a Defender that is currently among the best AV on the market, protected even against RootKits.

What about Odysee? It's hosted on the LBRY network, independend from BigBrother companies. It also has a YouTube sync tool that allows YouTube creators to automatically mirror all past and future content to their Odysee channel

https://odysee.com (freemium OpenSource, maybe the best YT alternative out there)

I once thought about making a release that would be stored on a usb flash drive, in a password-protected zip, buried in a forest somewhere, with the password graffitied on a wall somewhere else (preferably on different continents).

Edit: coordinates to the location of the usb drive would be tattooed on my ass.

Bandcamp, soundcloud, vocaroo, are the main ones i know for just audio, lots of smaller ones too

You can always self host or make a video file and upload that to vimeo

You can make something a public file on dropbox, or google drive, or mediafire, or wetransfer

If you like peer to peer you can host a torrent or run soulseek, or even run an ftp server with the files you want people ho have access to.

If you want to be really niche you can use something like gemini etc

Think outside the box,

I remember when the musician cindy lee made their album cat o nine tails they released it in a way where a link to the album would be sent over email after receiving an etransfer to her studio’s protonmail address…

Yes, thanks, sorry.

I keep telling people we should just tack "-over-HTTPS" to every network protocol so we can leverage the affordable, widely available DDoS mitigation infrastructure that's meant to protect websites.

SourceHut looks nice, and if I were still actively programming, I'd gladly try it out. It sucks to see this happen.

Yes, it's way more than only a toy, even beeing a more than 12 Years old project. It's still in developement, recently added the Android version. It's somewhat more improved as shown in the Video, which is from the first stable version, but it show well the concept of the app. There is nothing similar out there.

I was expecting to just see some toy project that implemented features that have since been implemented by the major desktop environments but I was pleasantly surprised. I would still consider this mostly a toy but the zoomable user interface implementation is excellent. The video does a great job.

I can actually envision an alternative universe where this style of interface took off. Having a server where you have a bunch of containers running tasks and you can zoom in to get status reports on them. Zoom in more to see active file handles, requests and other things. And in today's hypervertalized world, zooming out to see entire virtualized OSes, and potentially an entire data center network.

It's great! A few things to note though. There is some documentation that shows you how to add your own music. It's a bit involved and you have to edit files to specify whether it's a cassette or a vinyl, and vinyls should also have cover art included. Or you can just subscribe to one or more of the many music collections for TrueMusic, but be aware that if you subscribe to a lot of them like I do, it will spawn tons and tons of cassettes and records in bookcases and such, which is fine by me. But if you play with extremely rare loot settings it might look out of place. TrueMusic will also not mute the in-game music on its own, so instead, bind a key to mute and unmute the vanilla music (TrueMusic uses positional audio to it's not affected by the vanilla music volume setting).

That's a nice mod list. Similar to the way I approach modding the game too. But in the end I think I should try and set up my own server some time. Because one thing I really want for a MP PZ server is TrueMusic and like... all the collections of pre-1993 music to go with it. In singleplayer I like to go on road trips from town to town, gathering up as many cassettes as I can and listening to tunes the entire way.

Sure, I'd be open to new players, that's always fun. I'll go ahead and warn you though, we use Discord. Not sure if that's a deal-breaker for you. I always like to tell people, even my friends on Discord, to be careful with Discord and not assume it's a private space, as it does invade people's privacy. But that's where my friends are, so IDRGAF.

And yes, there's mods. The main ones include CDDA, SOTO, Antibodies. Also lots of QoL stuff like TidyUpMeister, Skill Recovery Journal, etc.. My style for mods is to try for realism while also cutting out overly-tedious stuff if it makes the game un-fun. 162 mods in total but most of them are tiny and only do 1 specific thing.

XP gain is 2x, skill loss is 0.5, reading rate is 2x. Stuff like that.

edit: Here is my mod collection: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3130871326

There are some mods in the collection that aren't being used in the current server, such as 10 Years Later, Worse Vehicle Condition, Random Zombies, and ScreamerZ. We might do that scenario again sometime, but for now we want to be able to drive places without cutting down the forest in the road.
