I'm reading this at 4:39 it seems like you got woken up by the alarm, could not fall asleep again and grudgingly made this comic

Wait why? Just because daemon sees the goat in the dreams?

In my case, it just worked, on two machines. Just added steam and lutris into the config along with two other options recommended for gaming and it worked.

If you have a working system and no wish to ever install anything new, you could run it indefinitely.

It wouldn't get any updates after some point and after ~10 years some websites would stop working because they would be using some new standard that is not yet implemented in the browser on your machine.

To update to a newer version of NixOS, you might need to change config slightly, and that requires you to know where configuration is and how to read error messages.

To install something new it is easy in 70% of cases and really really hard in the remaining 30%.

Giving them access to Jellyfin is not fully "copying" a movie, it is just access to streaming (they can download, but that's on them).

Overall, this makes little sense anymore and I feel that limiting data sharing is hard to conceptualize, let alone prevent with regulation.

All responses are saying "it is illegal". But is it more illegal than pirating a movie for yourself only? Would it still be illegal if you would have paid for the movie? In that case it seems like lending the dvd to a friend...

The answer depends on technical ability of your partner. In any case, they should always be able to login and extract all the data they need, so they can then reinstall, say plain Debian.

This could also be done with help from a Linux versed relative/friend. So you should leave a bit of documentation behind.

Other than that, don't optimise for the worse case scenario. It will leave you with suboptimal system most of the time.

Is this a threat? 🤔

Can you expand on this wild claim? The whole point of containers is isolation so what you are saying is that containers fail at that all the time?
