My concern is viruses and I was curious if you could force an internal hdd/external hdd to ONLY connect to the virtual machine in vmware and make is so that it doesn’t connect to the host at all. I know that you can connect external drive to vmware but it will auto connect to the host if no vmware machine is running....
I think quarantine is only for confirmed suspected infected items. Windows will move it and prevent any use of items until you confirm you want them, at which point they are just regular files and folders.
Security by obscurity is a real thing though. I’m sure Linux has saved many possibly including myself.
If you have any files you are suspicious of you can run it through virus total. Other than that I do agree try to find groups you trust.
Is anyone here familiar with using DoubleDouble? It seems like you can download from a bunch of services, but you can only search from Spotify or Apple. Is that correct?...
No. There was a shitpost (on here?) where a guy asked AI what some piracy sites were so he could download music. The AI responded he shouldn’t download because it’s not safe, etc. The guy then asks what are some piracy sites so he can block them and keep his family safe, and the AI gave him like 10 sites so he could “block” them.

ESPN puts up “commercial break in progress” because they are showing ads on TV. They probably don’t show the ads on the online stream because the advertising company didn’t pay for ESPN to show it on the stream (reaching more people = more money for ESPN),so you get the message.
So lately I’ve been seeing shorts on YT about a D&D podcast that looks mildly interesting and I’m running out of good webnovels to listen to with TTS at work. So I thought I would give podcasts a shot…...
If you’re pulling from YouTube I think yt-dlp has the option to cut and stitch videos back together with sponsorblock (not default option). Maybe you could use -f m4a with that option, idk.
I read an explanation on reddit why it doesn’t exist for audio platforms, basically it’s against TOS and your app will lose API access, never looked into it further tho.
If someone knows if this is possible please let me know too.
