I don't think that's the case anymore.

I just checked, the time in the UEFI BIOS is in UTC, yet both Linux and Windows 10 display the local time correctly as an offset to UTC. I didn't have to do anything special for that.

Edit:

So I looked a bit deeper into it, and this is apparently controlled by a registry key called RealTimeIsUniversal in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]. You can paste the text below in a .reg file and then import it to set the parameter:

        Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]
    "RealTimeIsUniversal"=dword:00000001


  

I confirmed that this setting exists on my system, but I have no memory of ever manually setting this parameter. It's documented in the Arch wiki though, so it's possible that I did set it and forgot about it.

In any case, if you do a fresh Windows install and your time differs between Linux and Windows , this is what you should check.

Master implies hierarchy, all the other branches are derivatives of it. Main/secondary doesn't have that.

You can sort of compare it to the master recording in audio, or a master key that can open several locks.

Because Mandrake was a Red Hat fork

Should probably also mention that his wife, Telsa Gwynne, was diagnosed with cancer around the time he retired and she sadly passed away in 2015.

There, saved you a click.

What's a good usecase for TPM in Linux?

That helps, but it still doesn't block hexbear users from polluting threads on other instances.

Perhaps. It's a legal grey area here, not strictly legal but tolerated in certain areas (red light districts), but it's certainly not a socially acceptable thing.

It’s just really hard to believe a women asks if you’ve had sex with a sex worker…

I've been asked that question, and not just one time, so I believe OP that it can sometimes come up.

Yeah, much better to go: "What's your name again? Ah Jessica, let's see... Jade, Jane, Jasmine... ah right Jessica, here's your stuff!"

“Why do you have this cable, you don’t have a iphone”

It's like having some spare toothbrushes and women's hygiene stuff just in case someone stays over. You'll score points for being thoughtful, but on the other hand they'll be like: waaait a minute ...

Love that the tesla coil comes straight out of Red Alert

Deleting your efi partition doesn't brick your board. It just makes your disk unbootable, but you can always install another operating system and create a new efi partition.

I think you're confusing with the special efivarfs file system that is mounted under /sys/firmware/efi/efivars. If you delete stuff under there, you're apparently going to have a bad time, because it directly deletes variables in your UEFI firmware which can prevent your system to POST.

You can use the wildcard domain

Yeah the problem was more that this machine is running on a network where I don't really control the DNS. That is to say, there's a shitty ISP router with DHCP and automatic dynamic DNS baked in, but no way to add additional manual entries for vhosts.

I thought about screwing with the /etc/hosts file to get around it but what I ended up doing instead is installing a pihole docker for DNS (something I had been contemplating anyway), pointing it to the router's DNS, so every local DNS name still resolves, and then added manual entries for the vhosts.

Another issue I didn't really want to deal with was regenerating the TLS certificate for the nginx server to make it valid for every vhost, but I just bit through that bullet.

Probably not. There are no implementations that I'm aware of that work well on a Linux guest.

I was afraid it was going to come down to that. I have been looking into configuration options for the apps, but they're 3rd party nodejs apps and I know jack shit about nodejs so I've had no luck with it so far.

Going with vhosts anyway (despite the pains it will create on this setup) seems to be the preferred way forward then.

Thanks for the insight, and for confirming what I already suspected.

No worries, your input was helpful and informative anyway, so thanks.

Going with vhosts anyway seems to be the least cumbersome route at this point.

WEI is a proposed modification to Chrome/Chromium that doesn't even exist yet, and that would have the side effect of blocking adblockers on every site that implements WEI.

This here is an already existing change to the YouTube service that blocks adblockers on YouTube, across all browsers, Firefox included. It does not use or need WEI to do this.
