Why don’t we have an open source anti-cheat protocol that is a demon-level service. Everyone hates kernel anti-cheat, but only because they’re close source, so why don’t we have one that’s open source. Seems like a simple solution.
Yeah, FLAC. EAC has numerous checks to make sure the rip was flawless. I then either listen from my computer on speakers attached to a stereo, or I stream via Plex/Jellyfin. I have wired and wireless headphones and earbuds I use depending on what I’m doing when listening.
I already had lots of CDs before streaming was a thing, but still (more often than I’d expect) I come across albums that aren’t on any streaming platform.
I used to use EAC but recently switched to fre:ac because it works on Linux. Maybe there’s some features from EAC that are missing, but this could be an alternative if you’re interested in exploring it. I also rip and store on Jellyfin, and I’ve not noticed any problems w/ my FLACs.
EAC is the only thing holding me back, and I don’t trust it on a VM since it does some deep hardware voodoo.
It’ll probably live on its own machine I only use for that purpose.
Whats EAC again? I’m always eager to learn what possible show stoppers exist for people.
EasyAntiCheat. Not sure why it’d stop them, because Proton has an EAC runtime.

Valve will figure it out for us and then offer it for any game published on Steam.
Dunno what state their own services are in currently for games like TF2, CS2 and Deadlock.
Exact Audio Copy
I own a lot of CDs.
Oh interesting! What do you use for that and what is the result? Flac or other?
