I find it interesting that the biggest threat to installing Arch Linux on a VM... is all of the other things they installed on to the VM.
Playing games, installing old and new versions of windows, all sorts of things. Even detours in to immortalizing the process of posting 'proof of life' to various places.
This is from the stream that was the target of a botnet right? It'd be interesting if access to the IRC chat is available to compare the ratio of successful hits for this vs Twitch plays Pokemon vs a randomized control to see if there were moments with or without tampering from outside forces.
Video is not from botnet stream.
For anyone not fully up to date, the stream is broken into two phases.
As the project being botnet targeted (called it!) and unsustainable by original creators, it was then handed over to a stronger group for support.
Even with the issues, it has been an amazing experiment to observe!
