I really, genuinely, no sarcasm, do not understand why it’s not a real alternative.

I don’t think Mullvad is blocking anyone. I’m not sure if Archive . Today is still doing what they did in 2023, but if they are, it would be more correct to say Archive . Today is blocking you for using Mullvad’s DNS servers.

Why is everyone pretending the Wayback Machine doesn’t exist

Here’s your alternative:

unless there’s a serious change for the worse, I’m probably going to keep posting them. Sorry!

How is highjacking your traffic to maliciously DDOS someone without your consent not a “serious change for the worse” …???

Please stop using archive . today and its other domains.

In the past, they prevented Cloudflare DNS users from resolving the site, because Cloudflare didn’t forward EDNS data that would allow Archive.today to dox users.

And recently, they embedded malicious DDOS code into their captcha that would cause visitors to unknowingly DDOS someone.

They are extremely shady and no one should be using them.

Bazzite is amazing, nearly bulletproof even?

I had a few times where it booted to the grub emergency shell, but it literally just fixed itself. Just reboot and it uses the other A/B slot. And the next update attempt just fixes whatever the problem was. That’s only happened twice in the last 5 months since I switched. Most longtime Linux users should be very familiar with the grub emergency shell, but I’ve never been on a distro where it just fixes itself. I don’t ever have to think or worry about updates, it’s just a reliable daily driver. It’s sick.

As people have said, Bazzite is immutable. You can install system packages/libraries if you absolutely need to, but you really should run your custom stuff in a Distrobox instead. Distrobox is preinstalled, supports graphical apps automatically, and most of the time you won’t even notice it’s not your real OS.

I think Bazzite is more stable and usable than Windows now. I’m tempted to switch my parents to it, it’s been much more fault tolerant than Windows 11.
