What changed

  • Replaced a specific community proxy-container forum profile recommendation with Community Applications search guidance and review-before-install wording.
  • Replaced TTM plugin forum-thread guidance with persistent-terminal guidance that points to Community Applications for terminal plugins.
  • Replaced VFIO and primary GPU passthrough forum/video guide links with internal docs references.
  • Replaced WireGuard forum quickstart/plugin/tunneled-access links with official WireGuard and Tailscale docs references.
  • Mirrored the targeted link removals in localized docs without broad translation rewrites.

Why

Follow-up to the DiskSpeed dead-link/security audit. These links were not necessarily dead, but they sent users to forum-hosted or community-maintained content for operational setup guidance where official docs or Community Applications are safer entry points.

Follow-on tasks created

Validation

  • rg -n "84316-wireguard|84229-dynamix|84226-wireguard|183427.*tmux|51230-video-guide|93781-guide-bind|profile/72388-ich777|Proxy Server Docker container|SpaceInvaderOne|Tmux Terminal Manager" docs i18n --glob '*.mdx' returned no matches.
  • git diff --check origin/main...HEAD

Per repo guidance, I did not run the full build.

Purpose of the change:
- Extend the forum-link audit beyond the DiskSpeed dead link.
- Remove high-confidence operational guidance links that pointed users at forum-hosted plugin threads or community guides.

How behavior was before:
- Current docs recommended a specific proxy container via a forum profile link.
- Long-running disk-zeroing guidance linked directly to a TTM plugin forum thread.
- VFIO and primary GPU passthrough guidance sent users to forum/video guide links instead of internal docs.
- WireGuard outgoing communications guidance linked to forum quickstart and plugin threads for setup details.

Why that was a problem:
- These links created avoidable dependency on forum-hosted or community-maintained content for operational setup guidance.
- The original DiskSpeed issue showed that forum-hosted operational links can become stale or unsafe.

What the new change accomplishes:
- Points proxy and persistent-terminal recommendations toward Community Applications with review-before-install wording.
- Points VFIO, GPU passthrough, and WireGuard setup guidance at official docs instead of forum threads.
- Mirrors the targeted link removals in localized docs without broad translation rewrites.

How it works:
- Replaces risky forum targets in source docs and matching i18n pages.
- Leaves general forum support links and historical release-note links in place for follow-up policy work.

Closing this PR after narrowing the audit scope.

The defensible risk is docs instructing users to download or run user-facing scripts/code from forum-hosted content. The broader cleanup in this PR also removed normal forum/support/guide links and community references where there was no evidence of the same risk. That overreaches the original issue.

The scoped remediation remains the merged DiskSpeed fix in #496.
