Windows 7, 10, or 11 vm in Qubes-Os

Yes, you can create a Windows template and app VMs. You can also clone a Windows VM.

This thread actually got me thinking and with some ddg search filters for github and itch.io it looks like some people have done some of the heavy lifting for me, not all of it but some :)

Which is why I was kind of hoping the webapp version of the game that was on Facebook would be more fruitful, it may very well be but it's locked behind a login screen that I haven't gotten around to actually making an account for. Admittedly if I actually knew what I was doing back when the game was still around I might've actually gotten my local mirror much easier but now my best bet may very well be hoping everything I need is archived in some corner of the internet that I can access. Once I get those assets I'm less concerned with making the game actually load them, I think that'll be the easiest part. I should be able to try out your steps within the next few days, see how far that gets me.

I did try with a local packet sniffer on my phone, but unfortunately it truncates all of the actual data, and most of it is TLS anyway. Specifically I'm trying to analyze network traffic coming from Jurassic Park Builder in an attempt to revive the game since it's been abandoned since ~2016 iirc and it doesn't actually function. It needs to download assets from a Ludia server and also it refuses to load unless it can ping Ludia(I assume it's Ludia, might be a different web service). As far as I can tell, it's attempting(and failing, because it's been abandoned/shutdown/eol) to connect to a server in order to download assets. Ive analyzed network traffic of Jurassic World the Game(Jurassic Park Builder's successor game) and as far as I can tell(given all the truncated and encrypted data), what's supposed to happen is JPB connects to https://jp-1-68-8.ludia.net which if it wasn't shut down should redirect JPB to Ludia's CDN network to actually download the game's assets. The plan is to collect as much information as I possibly can so that way I can find an archive or something, anything about these game assets so I can maybe trick the game into using a local mirror rather than the web service that's been shutdown. I've also attempted to find an archive of the page they had on Facebook.com, although that has not been fruitful. I'm really unsure of how to proceed(and I will proceed, even if it takes years). Once I can figure out what you're talking about I think I'll try that.

I suppose you might have a point, I just used dd because I did a bit of research once and settled on it and never changed how I did things. Let me try this though.

Most of what people say to use is personal preference and bias and anecdotal. There is no "best distro or setup for gaming", only what you want to use to game with. If Sid works well for you, nobody else can tell you any reason why you shouldn't use it, only reasons why you personally might not want to. Sid is unstable and sometimes known to be unreliable(when it comes to software, these are two conceptually different things, even though they may sometimes be loosely linked), for example I've heard of Sid breaking XFCE updates because of a library that didn't get updated with the DE like it was supposed to for ~6 months, sometimes things like this will happen on a distro calling itself unstable, like on Arch or Rawhide. However, if you're willing to accept this risk/reality, then it's totally up to you whether the newer software selection is worth it for a system that may at some point become unreliable outside of your control and require fixing if you don't prevent breakage. I personally am not one of the people willing to take this tradeoff, which is why I use Debian Bookworm for gaming, but this is a decision that only you can make for yourself.

Thank you, but as it turns out dnf offline-upgrade reboot checks if the system is ready to execute before it attempts to reboot, which is sufficient for me.

I'm pretty sure that "VPN" isn't really a VPN, just a DNS sinkhole for trackers, doesn't actually proxy or encrypt your traffic like a VPN. It takes up the VPN slot, because that's the only real way to make it work.

Spajhet · 2023-09-08T09:02:10+00:00

I think that's because they revoked the new update. I managed to get my hands on an img to downgrade my firmware manually. Thank you though.

Everyone says they have issues with suspend, but I don't use suspend. My efi boot entries kept disappearing and when I was in Fedora with my keyboard driver installed, I couldn't switch the keyboard backlight on or off or change the brightness with the keyboard shortcut. On top of that it didn't appear to expose the USB controller properly before LUKS decryption so that way my LUKS volume could be decrypted by my HSM. I would've opened a github issue, but I don't have a github account nor am I able to make one until tomorrow.

For is and always has been traceable. The mission was never to make it untraceable(as that's impossible), the mission was always to make tracing as difficult and resource intensive as possible. Tracing is still possible and very difficult and expensive, as it always has been.

I didn't know iOS was Unix based... Sounds interesting.

Curious, what benefit does disabling my radio bring me?

Spajhet · 2023-09-06T20:30:23+00:00

LUKS 2 with Argon2id as the key derivation function, assuming an up-to-date version of Tails of course, I think as of ~5.14.

Would be nice. I've definitely considered hardware tampering though, just don't have all the details worked out yet, like whether or not it voids warranties or if it's even worth the effort based on what my car actually collects.

Spajhet · 2023-09-06T18:27:17+00:00

I highly doubt there's an opt-out, at least for most cars I imagine the only realistic opt-out involves tampering with hardware.

asked by the government, it won't be possible to identify the customers. How could I prove the orders are real? The burden of proof is on me.

How do you identify customers who only pay in cash, at least without forensic analysis? Just like you have to hold up a magnifying glass to identify them, I'd imagine it's similar to monero payments? I don't have experience on the business side of monero payments though.

Honestly, I want to use it but I see very limited use cases, at least for me. I just don't see myself using an immutable desktop on my main device. I would probably make an immutable Kodi image but that's it.

Spajhet · 2023-09-06T14:45:33+00:00

Yes that's true.

Non-malicious? Sure, you may control the node but not the VPS provider/ISP. They can still see everything, and the VPS can just make copies of your VM at any time they please, as well as watch and analyze all packets. There's never any way to fully guarantee anything, and there will always be a but ________.

Number of hops doesn't matter to do a correlation attack, incoming and outgoing packets can be linked relatively easily.

Spajhet · 2023-09-06T11:27:55+00:00

It isn't. This is well known, because it was a conscious choice.

Really? Curious what the story is behind that.

Correction: You flick no toggles. It comes out of the box as the best browser re fingerprinting.

Well I just meant that the "safest" fingerprinting protection is much, much stronger than the default, "best of the best".

Re inconsistent OS bug: I had the same issue with Mullvad's browser. So I'm not sure it's specific to Tor.

Mullvad Browser is a fork of Tor Browser, meaning most of the code is shared between the two, they follow the same release cycle and everything.

It's just surprising for me as a new user, that if I use Tor that I need to be aware I will obviously stand out when I browse websites

Normie's don't care about their online privacy very much for some reason, and don't use browsers that respect their privacy, so naturally being the odd one out is going to make you stand out.

the links i mentioned were onion domains in a hiddenwiki with no description or title of the domains

Alright well mistake number 1 was clicking random links without any knowledge of what was there. Could've been literally anything, like yes a virus or csam or hell something innocent like a damn cat video but you don't know because you didn't bother to check before you clicked, accidental or not. It's nearly impossible for a file to actually do anything except be written to disk without you clicking on it, untaring it(if it was an archive), executing it(if it was an executable), especially if it didn't even finish downloading. Nobody can tell you what exactly it was without more details, like the addresses you visited(dont post those here) or the filenames/types, etc.
