Hello people I recently acquired an old(er) laptop through my workplace. I was initially planning on running a Pi-hole on it but after installing it I noticed that my router is causing issues with the Pi-hole so I gave up on that idea.
Now if I were to decide on dedicating it for piracy, would I be able to do anything that isn’t viable on a general use PC that would make it less likely for these piracy activities to have legal and/or financial ramifications on me? Or would it be no different than using the PC I use for my everyday stuff?
Yes, a VM is good for sandboxing too. It’s still not perfectly safe as an airgapped separate machine, things can leak out of memory/network adapters, and depending on the specs of your main PC it could lead to some performance issues. But it’s a literally free first step and a great improvement.
