American culture warriors have decided that their ideology is more important - you see this a lot where their ideology’s goal becomes the “greater cause” worth sacrificing the mission: e.g. in journalism.

To bully those who don’t share their American liberal politics.

The SPI is awesome, I wish it were easier to donate internationally too.

This is crazy guilt by association.

Because now you can just use Linux or BSD. That wasn’t the case when Linux was developed.

So it only really makes sense for special cases - like Huawei’s new OS for phones (they cannot use Android), or Google’s attempt at a new kernel for Android too (they want to escape the GPL).

Mullvad was already forced to stop port forwarding though.

It sucks as my shitty ISP doesn’t allow port forwarding, so I literally used it for hosting video games.

They blocked Github before - https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-50232902

So it’s not surprising.

It’s gonna be rough when they come for the VPNs like Italy has though.

He’s winning against the gangs though - every Salvadorean I know supports him.

I think the US you have to use your American one if you have it, no?

A lot of countries have that rule.

No. Why worry about things you can’t change?

This has already happened. Just the niche communities haven’t migrated away yet.

It’ll be fine, I’d argue Arch is actually more “stable” in the ordinary sense since it is simpler - in that partial upgrades are not allowed. So you never end up in a complicated mess like aptitude can be.

I’ve used Arch for over a decade now, and have only had issues 3 or 4 times (usually from the nvidia driver).

Yeah, for both OpenVPN and Wireguard.

On Linux you can do this with full control via network namespaces. I use vopono to automate it - https://github.com/jamesmcm/vopono

But if you can afford it I’d recommend paying for Proton’s services as they offer a lot together, or a low-end VPS (where you could do it yourself, although be careful to find ones that don’t ban hosting Wireguard, etc. for example). Both are really useful if you want to test making something local available on the Internet e.g. ports for multiplayer games or a webserver prototype.

I never tried the Bose ones, they have great reviews too though.

Yeah, it’s a shame for passing on books I guess - like my dad had loads of books by Hugh Cook, an obscure fantasy / sci-fi author, and they’re out of print completely now.

At least in the future digitisation should stop that completely though.

Kindle - all the books, all the time.

Sony WH1000-XM3 (I guess newer models are still good) - excellent noise cancelling, perfect for flights

Steam Deck - play almost any games, anywhere, and with a full desktop mode too.

In the past I’d have put the Acer Aspire One, I loved the netbook form factor, now I use either the Vivobook or Steam Deck like that.

The Aeropress is also great for quick, simple coffee.

This stops them releasing a more powerful home version though. As SteamOS/Linux will not be able to support modern HDMI2.1 features.
