discover weekly is also my favorite, and i was having the same problem with it hopping around. to avoid needing to search for it, you can save it to your library to make it easily findable next to your other playlists. it’ll still auto-update weekly.
I’ve had some password reset mechanisms send me codes without the attacker needing to know much. I believe this has happened with facebook before; my password there is unique and random, and even after changing my password to another random one, I still got a couple of occasional 2FA codes. Not sure if they’ve changed anything there to combat this, but just my 2¢.
Would you mind sharing your VM setup with PCI passthrough? I had looked into this previouly, but guides I saw seemed to only let you pass it through depending on settings at boot of the host OS. From what I understand, this means that if I wanted to pass the GPU through to the VM, I would lose it in the host OS until I reboot again. Does your setup let you hotswap it w/o a reboot?
Having just switched my home desktop from Windows/Linux dualboot, to full Linux, this kind of makes me want to switch back to Windows. My only grievance is nvidia driver support lacking on Linux at the moment.
