  • Well it looks like they found some references to subscriptions in an INI file, but that doesn’t mean it will require a subscription. It would be insane to try to sell new PCs with a trial Windows 12 license that’ll eventually require a subscription. I can’t imagine Windows could ever switch to a subscription model without a “base” version that’s a one-time purchase, even if it’s just for new PCs.



  • Is VR really so ubiquitous to warrant these concerns? In my opinion most of the warnings about how this technology encourages “escaping reality” apply more to things that have had an established place in society for decades, namely phones, social media and online gaming. I have two kids and a VR headset is the least of my concerns, but they could be sucked in to the non-reality of a personal phone in two seconds if I allow it.



  • I recommend NSD or Knot for strictly authoritative servers. BIND is great too, but it is built to do both authoritative and caching DNS which makes it a bit too “big” for the task of serving only authoritative DNS data. You can definitely configure BIND to only serve authoritative data though.

    I can’t comment on running from a container, I’ve always worked with NSD/Knot/BIND building directly from source.
