In regards to Valve discouraging it, once third party DRM is removed later (because all publishers do it due to subscription cost.) the performance and quality of the game improves on Windows and even more so on Linux.
A lot of people hear or read "plane" and assume like a million dollars. You can quite literally buy a single prop piston engine small plane for less than $100k USD. Yearly cost to maintain can be as little as a few thousand if flights hours are low.
Pg has significantly better performance in a smaller self hosted environment. Notably because you're doing a balance of reading and writing, or mostly writing since data changes regularly. For large scale operations where reading data is the primary use, MariaDB/MySQL is faster.
Alternatively, put it across a doorway. I did this to some devious children (6 and 12). They eventually got me back.

Super yachts are built similar to cruise liners. Compartmentalised below the water line. You breach one, it gets detected and will seal it off. They are obviously gonna be connected to several alert systems and will notify the owner or whomever is in charge of maintenance. If anyone does manage to damage the hull, gonna have to do it more than once.
Note that this doesn't actually uninstall it entirely and is not a permanent solution. The app is still available on the system as root. An update to the OS can bring it back.
My Motorola got an OTA security update that included all three, resulting in them running again.
"VPN user voting is not allowed"
Lol.
These days, it's becoming less simple than that.
VW and BMW have it all baked into the infotainment system. Most others are doing this as well. Pull the fuse and you lose it all. No radio, no backup camera, etc. This triggers a check engine light because the computer detects the loss of several functions. With some manufacturers this may include driver assistance safety features.
Can't just pull SIMs either. VW place the module for that behind the instrument cluster. Which means you have to disable the entire dashboard to get to it. BMW is inside the infotainment system. These are not designed to be taken apart. So once you get it out of the dash, what good does it do you? If you do manage to remove the SIM, the infotainment will display a warning message. It's a permanent one that won't go away. Tells you to visit the dealer for service. Put the SIM in and the warning message goes away. Mercedes has an eSIM. Which means it's non-removable. It's digital and part of the modem firmware.
Some people have reported success with dummy load antennas. Others have found independent fuses or removed the SIM on select models. YMMV heavily.
Note that when the cellular services are disabled, you lose the following features:
- Remote start (via the app)
- Remote safety (automatically call help)
- Theft tracking
- Misc. Remote features as advertised.
In the case of Toyota, they do offer the ability to opt out entirely. Once opted out, the app becomes useless.
A cars cellular service is managed by the manufacturer. It's not a traditional plan like you have for your phone. The manufacturer typically leverages the cellular service to sell you additional features. The base functionality for their benefit is always there sending data about the car. It's also how over the air firmware updates are applied to the infotainment system.
WoW itself runs fine on Linux. Don't expect any difference here.
That said, it used to be insane button bloat for everyone. Very complex rotations. Around Legion they started reworking it. Now most specs are reduced to rotations being 3-5 buttons. Work in the occasional cool down or defensive and things just fall over. This works out very well for the casual player. Controller support was added a few expansions ago. With the most recent expansion it's reached good refinement. Some class/spec combos are easier than others.
An addon called Console Port makes it so easy to play with a controller. For leveling or daily quests, it's perfectly acceptable. I've tried it and find it quite enjoyable. I particularly like it on my demon hunter. Though don't expect to jump into competitive content. You need access to way more than a controller can provide. It slows you down.
You should for sure move away from a proprietary OS. There are many ways to go about it. I personally use Arch minimal with hardened kernel. Everything runs in non-root docker containers. Commonly used distros are Ubuntu and Fedora. But there are many more to choose from. https://distrowatch.com/search.php?category=Server
To bypass their CDN (referred to caching) you need to setup a Page Rule for the entire Plex domain.

Thanks for the information. Although Argo still greatly reduces latency if a user cares to reduce communication time.
Once you agree to letting friends and family access your hosted services, you become the tech support for any problems. Whether that be your fault, user error, etc. You should absolutely limit who you give access to. In my case, only three people can and that's immediate family. No friends, no extended family. I don't wanna deal with all that mess when I deal with it at work. Don't over extend yourself by being nice.
Using Cloudflare is against the ToS when used for services like Jellyfin. Your account can be limited, closed, or find yourself getting a several hundred dollar bill for data usage because you've breached the terms of service. Additionally, streaming content on free accounts incurs higher latency which I've confirmed myself Argo smart routing massively reduces. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/9295 - Don't abuse what's free or you may lose it.
Google shouldn't be indexing your domains anyway. If it's flagged your domain, it's been indexed and scanned. Alternatively, it could indicate you have a weak point somewhere on your server and you've been breached. Google's scan picked up whatever it was. Though I doubt this is the case and just a false positive. Double check your robots.txt files and disallow everything. Most index bots respect this. You can use a community sourced bot blocker. https://github.com/mitchellkrogza/nginx-ultimate-bad-bot-blocker
I've been running my own self hosted services for almost a decade. Though I have a background in IT directly doing this kind of stuff daily at work. As long as you have a strong firewall, modern TLS, relevant security headers, automatic tools like fail2ban, and have a strong grasp on permissions, you should be fine. Before I moved everything to non-root docker, it was given its own service user and SELinux policy. Using direct DNS isn't so much of a problem. You shouldn't have any issues. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Hopefully your friend didn't encounter a scam, in which case it absolutely won't improve fps. That's the dumbest thing I've ever read. Otherwise it's possible he misunderstood the article.
If it's a misunderstanding, there is genuinely a use case for using third party software to remove graphics drivers. In case anyone doesn't know, neither Intel, AMD or Nvidia uninstall processes completely remove all traces as if they've never been installed.
The software is called "Display Driver Uninstaller", or "DDU" for short, is highly regarded among the tech community for solving various issues with driver upgrades and downgrades if you encounter one. It's strongly recommended when switching between GPUs. It's been discussed and recommended by nearly every high profile technology site and tech YouTube channel. In fact, Intel even has a support page about it.
There's misconceptions about what the "Clean" or "Reset" options do when installing a graphics driver while one is already installed. This option only resets the user settings configured via the control panel provided by the driver package.

That's a very weak argument. I get where you're going with it. All moderns computers / devices are DRM first.
The PS4 and Xbox One and later are quite literally x86_64 architecture. They run either Windows NT kernel or Unix Kernel. Albeit custom OS variants that are functionally labelled "forks" for all intents and purposes. Games can be be ported between them and PC with ease due to this nature. They play movies and music whether it be streamed from an app, a DVD/CD, on a USB device or internal drive. They can browse the web using a web browser that's part of the OS.
Traditional computers have had hardware based DRM for decades. There's nothing really special about consoles having it too.
Consoles take the same approach as Apple has with iOS. They don't want you doing anything with it that they haven't approved. A walled garden to exert control.
Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo just lobbied really hard and padded pockets to get their exclusion.
It has moderation tools already. They're upgrading and expanding them to be more granular per user feedback.
They're not absent as your comment leads one to believe.
When Knox is tripped it sets off the root check. Your banks misleading statement is due to their own confusion. Knox is no longer active so it can't guarantee there is no root access. The OS basically says it's untrusted/insecure due to lack of Knox and always says it's rooted regardless of that actually being true. You can hide root for all apps that check. Do note that while you can return the functionality of third party apps, Samsung baked in apps can be hit or miss. It's a game of cat and mouse. I speak from experience.
Additionally here are some other conversations about it:

Of course they're not using it to commute daily. You even pointed out in your first sentence: It's a hobby.
Someone else in this thread also mentions that many small aircraft have multiple "owners" who share it. Just like timeshare vacation property. Everyone who is part in it, shares the cost of maintenance. This makes it even cheaper. This counters your statement of:
It can in fact be cheaper going this route.
