I got the lifetime pass 5 years ago. I’ve switched to JF because of the disappointment so far about a year ago.

JF is exactly what I wanted and needed plex to be, and everything added since is a worsened product. The lifetime pass was an attempt at getting the peace of mind of “then you just have it”. If anything, only FOSS can give that.

Hm, if it spawns some external process, would it be possible to wrap that in a shell script of the same name (and have its dir earlier in PATH), which in turn calls the other one, but through trickle?

If you’re on Linux, you have a lot more options to affect the system. You could try running Heroic Launcher through trickle: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/34116/how-can-i-limit-the-bandwidth-used-by-a-process

Ideally this would be implemented on the client side, i.e. Heroic Launcher, but there seems to some challenges in making that happen: https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/issues/597

What do you mean by natively?

I’m going to give an explanation, without having a single clue as to whether or not is accurate.

Encryption keys can have many layers, baking in different expiration dates. Rotating one might be required without needing to rotate all.

I probably wouldn’t go much further than a couple of hours drive. The mindset of travelling half the world “just cuz we can” has become unpleasant.

MH: World is the only MH game I tried, out of curiosity. It ended up on my library at some point as a PS+ game. Got through the initial “story” thing, if you can call it that. The tutorial. Getting to the camp. The mandatory chat with 10 different people. Did the first real “hunt”.

It seemed to mind bogglingly boring, that after that mission, I just uninstalled the game.

Wilds looks amazing. Which makes me wonder if the games are sufficiently different that it might be worth give it a chance.

Just be aware that windows has a bad habit of fucking up for Linux when you do. Which sounds like it shouldn’t be possible, right?

Windows can claim hardware resources that it doesn’t release properly, so your WiFi adapter doesn’t work in Linux, but works fine in Windows. Windows also (used to, at least) “correct” a boot partition, because, I presume, it sees something “unknown”. Oh, and the system clock might be off every time you switch between one and the other, because windows thinks it makes sense to write the current timezone value and not UTC.

Those kinds of things.
