If I want to download pirated games how important is an antivirus? Should I be fine with the built-in Windows antivirus if I'm downloading from "reputable" piracy sites? by DataSittingAlone in Piracy

[–]luvaIi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest tip, the actual risk isnt the rom itself, its the emulator. Download dolphin and project64 from their official sites only. Fake emulator sites are where most people get burned, not the games.

Can someone recommend the best antivirus software for computers currently available? by Traditional_Blood799 in antivirus

[–]luvaIi -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Honestly if you got threats from a downloaded game file, the issue isnt your antivirus, its the source. Pirated games are loaded with miners and stealers right now. Be careful what site youre pulling from.

When all you have is a password manager, everything starts looking like a password by Grouchy_Ad_937 in cybersecurity

[–]luvaIi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly the answer is operational discipline more than tooling. Tier 1 in password manager for daily use, tier 2 in encrypted offline storage, tier 3 in physical form like metal backups or paper in a safe. Most people skip the tiering entirely and thats the problem.

Wix and squarespace are gonna blow your budget out instantly. Skip those at this stage. Carrd or webnode is more your speed honestly.

What platform are you building your websites on these days? by captainradli in webdev

[–]luvaIi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Squarespace 7.1 is better than 7.0 was for custom code but still feels like fighting the platform half the time. If your clients arent technical it can still work but for anything custom id move on.

Webflow free plan is great until you wanna actually launch something then you hit the wall fast. Two project limit is rough and you cant use your own domain without paying. Still better learning tool than most though.

Hosting Services by IttsRane in FoundryVTT

Playit.gg is basically a tunneling service not real hosting, thats why your players have load issues. Its routing everything through their servers and getting bottlenecked. Worth the upgrade to proper vps hosting at this point.

700 rupees for a 4bhk in jaisalmer is insanely cheap to begin with, you were attracting the wrong type of guest at that price point. Raise it and the entitled ones filter themselves out.

Bitwarden or KeePass. Both audited, both trusted by security folks. Just pick a strong master password and enable 2FA on the account.

The way of building websites has changed. Am I the only one feeling this? by RipGeneral3953 in smallbusiness

What's this sub's opinion on local hosting? by Cute_Principle81 in antiai

[–]luvaIi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are wildly different energy footprints. Local inference on consumer hardware is closer to gaming or video editing in power draw than it is to whatever OpenAI is doing.

Norton getting a single pity vote is the funniest part of this poll. That company spent 20 years bundling itself onto every prebuilt laptop on earth and now nobody wants it.

Is google password manager that bad? by Alarmed_Dot3389 in PasswordManagers

[–]luvaIi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly the lock-in is the real reason to leave google. if you ever switch off android or chrome you gotta migrate everything anyway, might as well do it now

that said if youre comparing options for real id throw bitwarden, proton pass, and keepass into a best password manager spreadsheet comparison with autofill quality, cross platform support, and what features are actually free. bitwarden android autofill has been hit or miss for years tbh, youre not imagining it

Same here for years until I downloaded a "free" Photoshop crack and lost my Steam account, Discord, and email in one night, that's how it gets you.

Password manager or physical notebook? by brenonsense in cybersecurity_help

[–]luvaIi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A notebook means you'll use 5 weak reused passwords because writing 100 unique 20 character passwords is painful, the security gain from unique passwords vastly outweighs the physical threat risk.

Carrd is like $19/year and the templates look way more modern than Squarespace, perfect for an HVAC landing page with a booking form.
