@Joliekitsune thank you very much. And yes, I do tend to choose subjects that hurt me, and unsurprisingly over the years I've collected a lot of scars from it. I guess that's my own decisions at work ๐Ÿ˜•

โ€œWe act like sorrow is a problem to be solved so we can go on our way having fixed it, but I don't think it works that way. Just like our joys, we carry it with us and it becomes part of who we are.โ€

Anti-Cheat dilemma on Linux?

โ—‰There already are anti-cheats working natively in Linux
โ—‰There are also anti-cheats working on Linux via Proton
โ—‰The only anti-cheats not working are kernel-level (designed FOR Windows exclusively)
โ—‰Kernel level anti-cheat could be implemented for Linux as numbers rise
โ—‰Question is: do Linux users want to tolerate such level of intrusion to their PC's
โ—‰Server side anti-cheat would solve the issue?

I just wish anti cheat wasn't at the kernel level. The games that have kernel level anti cheat and don't want to support Linux have some of the worst cheating problems in general (Take Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege for example) anti cheat does not have to be at the kernel level to be effective in today's world in my personal opinion

Alas, the problem is the "normies critical mass". If Linux becomes popular enough that normies are running it en masse, there will be too much pressure to cave in or even to normalize installing games (and their DRM) as root.

Now, in theory, there is absolutely no technical reason why a game (any game) can't run with user level privileges only, including for their anticheat. As we are expecting people to install and run their stuff at user privilege level (eg.: via Flatpak), the expectation would be that cheats are running at user level as well. Server side anticheat with basic (non-invasive) client attestation makes pretty much any effort to go up to root moot.

I'm sure this can't be right.... someone keeps saying he's a genius so it must be true.



The US will restart reporting on #COVID19 hospitalization data. The requirement that hospitals report COVID hospitalizations was ended earlier this year, but hospitals will again be required to report this data as of November 1 (just in time for our holiday surge!)
