>>22615So is it like a mediafire client or something? I've never found myself needing to use one of these.

>>22618Sounds awful, especially if you don't know what the program is actually doing behind curtains.
Windows user problems, I guess.
No.22621
>>22618Ah, a lot of minecraft datapacks use mediafire, think the uploader get ad revenue. Usually just opt to try making something similar myself / assume it's fake instead. If something open source like this comes along that'd be pretty useful tho.

>>22623there are commands that if you don't pay attention on how you type it, it could nuke your host system, a VM is safer if you mistype something. for example: I had to destroy the VMs bootloader to install the LFS's bootloader and had to make a /boot/grub/grub.cfg from scratch and make it work 1st try, and got LFS and the VM's distro booting(trisquel) 1st try. how insolent the lack of kneeling to the LFS gods!
No.22625
>>22624It can't nuke the "system", only the partitions, if anything. I did LFS some 16 years ago. Linux has been my OS for 19 years. I recently switched everything to BSD though.

>>22629>some old laptops expose uefi/efi variables as writable and you can actually nuke your computer with that shit, you'd have to flash your bios back to normal 0__0From what I remember, LFS doesn't touch the BIOS.
>>22628Yeah, that wipes the partition but your computer will be OK. Remember to do backups!

this is why you upload to catbox.moe, so people don't have to deal with this

yeah well downloading from mediafire or, god fucking forbid, mega has become a very niche use case now. if anything each day we're further away from an alternative.
