11 IoT Enterpise LTSC is the way to go. Definitely don’t waste your time looking for it on massgravedotdev, because they also definitely don’t have permanent hardware activation instructions, either.

Cant paywalls be bypassed by just using reader mode?

I’ve tried all the ways, and Bottles was the easiest by far. Make a bottle for games from the high seas, using bottles’ preset for games. Once created change the wine from Soda to whatever you want or just use Soda.

Then inside the bottle look for install dependencies and grab things like vc redist, and dot net. Once that’s done under the bottles’ UI choice “Run Executable” and chose the .exe for the game’s installer. If it doesn’t work as expected, click the cog/gear and select the checkbox for “Run in Terminal” to see where it goes wrong and search online for what fix is needed.

The only time I had to troubleshoot with terminal, was for a mspatcha.dll problem. It was an easy fix: the bottle has a Legacy Wine Tools > Configuration > Libraries, where I found mspatcha listed, then changed it to “Native then Built in.”

Hope that helps.

Would be hilarious if they took her ideas, and made a small AI exhibit section. But the first thing you read or watch is an explanation that AI is a marketing buzz term, and then explains LLM and machine learning.

Holy fuck my sides hurt laughing. Sending a virtual IT bro hug.

I hope you like it! Zen with AVX2 finally ended my years of browser hopping.

It can install addons like any other FF fork, and there’s an entire settings tab with a long list of keybinds.

I just searched it, straight from playstations website:

https://direct.playstation.com/en-us/buy-games/god-of-war-ragnarok-pc

“Do I need a PSN account to play PlayStation games on PC?”

“No, you currently do not need a PSN account to enjoy PlayStation Studio games on PC, but you will need a Steam account to redeem your voucher code. Some of our PlayStation Studios titles also offer incentives for linking your Steam and PSN accounts.”

Edit: Their website could be outdated, or incorrect? I just swear I saw an article title that Sony removed the requirement for PSN for Ragnarok PC.

I could of sworn I read Sony decided to make the PSN account optional.

Windows 11 Enterprise IoT LTSC. The way Windows was supposed to be, bullshit free. Like a fresh XP install. Feels good to game on a W11 that doesn’t fight you, nor installs so much damn bloat all the time.

Just doing the lords work for those stuck on Windows, and who are unaware: massgravedotdev

Any chance of joining a private tracker, or getting started with usenet/newsgroups?

I’ve tried that far too many times with both W10 and W11. Microsoft always finds a way to re-bloat. I’m pretty sure they have a team dedicated to making sure you get a bunch of bullshit bloat, and to find work arounds to however you removed it.

Way less painful to start over with LTSC and then forget about keeping on top of bloat, AI, and telemetry.

Im here to spread the good word for those who need/want to still use Windows, look up W11 IoT Enterprise LTSC.

Things it doesn’t have: Recall, copilot, ads, cortana, TPM requirement, secure boot requirement, ms store, XBOX and gaming services.

Once it’s freshly installed, it’s like a fresh XP install, naked. Can even group policy to turn off all telemetry. It’s fantastic for gaming.

Since they refuse to license it to just anyone, check out massgravedotdev.

Trash guides is what I used to get set up, very good guides + recyclarr!

Not sure if it’s exactly what you’re after, but Unifi gateways can install NextDNS with a script provided by NextDNS. It’s all the same lists as Pi-Hole, and possibly more intelligent ones, too. Bonus points are it makes every device in your home use encrypted DNS, as well!

I’m using it on a Dream Machine Pro, and the new Cloud Gateway Ultra.

Chiming in to say I’ve had the *arr stack, jellyfin, and jellyseerr combo for about a year now. Definitely worth the time to set it up! Jellyseerr is really amazing.

That exploit required kernel access to begin with, which at that point, you have much bigger problems.

I have one of their’s that can connect to your phone. It’s not needed, it just adds extra cook book functions. It even hosts it so you can control the sous vide when you’re not at home, almost like a reverse proxy.

But yea the physical buttons work fine without the app.

Oh my god this is disgusting. Which site had it? There’s just sooo many of them, I need to know which one specifically to avoid.

Right click the game in your Steam Library -> Properties -> Toggle include in VR library.
