<p>Such great work!
Happens quiet regularly I hit a game just realizing seconds later I haven't shut down my local LLM yet. At least punishment will be less harsh. Lets see, maybe some games in window mode will just work fine.</p>

<p>From the Age Verification Blueprint:<p>>AVI [Age Verification App Instances] SHOULD support the generation of Zero-Knowledge Proofs<p>Maybe I'm not seeing the full picture but as long there is a 'should', the whole thing is worthless. Keep in mind, national states need no implement their own solutions and AFAIK during the pilot phase ZKP was just skipped. Could be for other reasons (was not finished yet) but in the end a 'should' is a 'should' and no 'must'.<p>Source: <a href="https://ageverification.dev/av-doc-technical-specification/docs/annexes/annex-A/annex-A-av-profile/?utm_source=chatgpt.com#a8-zero-knowledge-proofs" rel="nofollow">https://ageverification.dev/av-doc-technical-specification/d...</a></p>

<p>I'm working and gaming on Garuda for over 3 years and not planing to switch any time soon.<p>It runs super smooth, with the build in 'wayback machine' and 'curated' Arch distro (7.0 zen kernel just dropped a week ago) pretty much bullet proof for beginners or as a daily distro if you want to get stuff done w/o caring much about it - just loving it. On the other hand side you have cutting edge gaming tech like wine/proton staging versions per default, so I'm playing Blizzard games with NTSYNC (the tech from the article) for several months now :)
Forgot about most of the flashy default UI though :D</p>

<p>I'm hopeful the article is right about its prediction, although I'm under the impression the attacker/defender dynamic is asymmetric and the defender on the loosing end. I hope someone can proof me wrong though...<p>Making the assumption that the same amount of money needed to attack a critical vulnerability is also required to find and fix it.<p>Lets say we have a project with 100 modules, and it costs us $100 000 to check these modules for vulnerabilities. What is stopping an attacker from spending the same amount of money to scan, lets say 10 modules but this time with 10x the number of tokens per module than the defender had when hardening the software?</p>

<p>very little, about 25 TB written on the always-on one. The offline one just does diffs, so probably <12 TB. Both are kind of data dumps, which is outside their designed use case. That's why I included data integrity checks in my backup script before the actual rsync backup runs. But again no issues so far</p>

<p>Since it’s kind of related, here’s my anecdote/data point on the bit rot topic: I did a 'btrfs scrub' (checksum) on my two 8 TB Samsung 870 QVO drives. One of them has been always on (10k hours), while the other hasn’t been powered on a single time in 9 months and once in 16 months.<p>No issues were found on either of them.</p>

<p>Since the headline is about gaming distros:
I'm on a quiet similar OS for like 2 years now, Garuda. Also tuned for performance/gaming, arch based, btrfs etc. Biggest differences will probably be the zen kernel, pre installed gaming utils like lutris, fan control etc. and a probably less performant but highly customized default style.<p>Its a curated version of Arch, releases drop in with a ~2w delay. It's brutally stable. As I said, I'm running the first installation for almost 2y now, doing my updates (everything comes with GUI support) daily to weekly and I faced one single hick up so far. I resolved it on the most user friendly way, picked the last snapshot during the boot (it automatically created before the update) and it acted like nothing ever happened. BTRFS with Timeshift works like magic for these rare edge cases.<p>I wonder how it compares to CachyOS, will definitely test it in a few weeks on my laptop</p>
