That sounds like a good compromise for the windows machine. Thanks, I will definitely try that out.
As I said before, it’s not a HDD but a SSD.
Nope, it’s definitely an SSD, no HDD. I think the bloat of the window installation does not help either.
I tried to use WSL but it didn’t quite work then like two months ago with the RubyMine 2021 edition. I am getting a full Linux client next week (same hardware), hopefully that should work better.

CLOUD ACT is the problem. Even for data stored outside the US, authorities can demand access to data. This is why for example in the EU you are a customer of AWS SARL in Luxembourg instead of AWS Inc.

Great game! I am wondering though why the prince of Persia has blonde hair with a white skin tone. I know this came out in '89 or so, still even for this time it seems kind of silly since I think even back then everybody knew Arabs don’t have blonde hair
Just skimmed it, looks useful, with mentioning keypair I'm assuming they use RSA keys or something similar. Why the choice for asymmetric encryption?
Such concerns specifically led to my decision of only uploading sensitive data to S3 with client side encryption. Since the aws cli tool only supports server side encryption with keys stored on amazon servers (where the non-default managed keys cost like 1 USD per month), I decided to simply symmetrically encrypt the backup of my syncthing data volume with AES256 using gnupg and only then pushing it to the S3 bucket.

Seems to be not supported on iOS. Really, not surprising considering all the Safari quirks.

Approximately a year ago I wrote my first program in Rust as an introductory project to extract assets from Renpy archive files [1]. Basically it’s for ripping assets [2].
