Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

It's so creepy because you read the repeated sexual abuse of a minor through the eyes of the perpetrator who continuously justifies his acts and misrepresents Lolita's reactions. He's a very unreliable narrator. First he even becomes her stepdad to have better access to her. Then her mother dies, through a car accident just before she can call the police on him. Again this is recounted through Humberts eyes, so I'm thinking it was actually murder.

I haven't finished the book yet, it's kind of hard to read. It's been a few years, and I should be somewhere in the middle IIRC.

Unfortunately the article of the post directly contradicts your point about ZLUDA improving:

ZLUDA appears to be floundering now, with both AMD and Intel having passed on the opportunity to develop it further

Following the links and searching around, I found this: Andrzej "vosen" Janik, the lead dev, says in his FAQ:

What's the future of the project?
With neither Intel nor AMD interested, we've run out of GPU companies. I'm open though to any offers of that could move the project forward. Realistically, it's now abandoned and will only possibly receive updates to run workloads I am personally interested in (DLSS).

Sony has a record of not respecting its workers, users or consumers.

2005 Sony BMG copy protection rootkit scandal

2011 PlayStation Network hack

2014 Sony Pictures hack

Now they want more userdata and kernel level anticheat. Surely there is no way for this to backfire

Firefox actually doesn't break. And it's also not Chrome with a layer of paint. So that's the obvious solution. Degoogled Chromium is the other.

Same, I'm still too cheap to upgrade the LAN to 10 Gbit/s. I could theoretically get old stuff from work, but that's all 19 inch rack mountable and loud...

Weird, I find them rather useful. How else do you calculate angles of things?

To check some flat-earthers I recently calculated the angle between an upright person and some skyscrapers 60 miles away.

Pretty big threat to democracy, that guy. Does the US system have any checks against that?

I'm also using btrfs, but I originally wanted ZFS before seeing that it was only available through FUSE on my distro.

That's why I even noticed ZFS was one of the features of Proxmox :)

You got me there :-)

They both use KVM in the end, so they are both Type 1 hypervisors.

Loading the KVM kernel module turn your kernel into the bare metal hypervisor.

It’s really just Debian with more packages preinstalled

And a custom kernel with ZFS support
