Malicious VPN is FreeVPN.One

Maybe shouldn’t be trying to save people clicks, but I would have appreciated this in a top comment.

Can you explain how/why its the same?

My instinct says its actually trying to reach 127.1.0.0 (which is still local host), but that’s an educated guess at best.

Edit: Question was answered later on thread

Yeah, it (in my case, ChatGPT) has been great for helping me along with functions I’m only passingly familiar with / trying to use in new ways.

One that I was really surprised with was that it gave me a surprisingly robust, sensible, and (seemingly) well tuned-to-my-case check list of things to inspect for a used car I intend to buy. I’m already mostly familiar with what I’m doing there, but it pointed to some things I might’ve overlooked / didn’t know were points of concern for the specific vehicle I’m looking at.

Exactly

Maybe I’m just a newb, but it still looks like PNG is the goto to ensure lossless image storage.

Everything else on that list that is “better” does/can do lossy compression. I’m not sure how to force apps to use lossless compression, so to me, all those lossy-capable formats are a drawback.

Thanks for the heads up.

Saw it wasn’t on F-Droid and was going to ask for source page (to get through Obtanium), but looks like they’re allergic to android and derivates. Appreciate you pointing to references.

Wolf Creek Pass / Pagosa Springs, CO.

My old man was a fan of C.W. McCall, so grew up with his song about it. Randomly had a friend’s family invite me with them to a ski trip there in college. Slopes were solid (my ski experience is very limited, but my amateur ass liked them), and the hot springs were great. First time I ever saw a couple unabashedly and openly smoking a joint in public (this was before state said pot was legal).

I need this in green text format

Damn, I want to play this campaign now.

So I make cold brew in large batches (week supply at a time). I’ve struggled to find a burr grinder that can get me a consistent coarse grind in large enough quantity.

Do y’all have a recommendation for one that can help with this?

Was going to be skeptical about an obscure distro, but I see they are currently #2 on Distrowatch. Can’t believe I’ve never heard of it before.

Appreciate the recommendation, I’ll def look into it!

When my win 10 gaming box EOLs this fall, I’m probably going to jump it straight to arch, since it looks like the most straightforward way to build a Steam OS like system.

Yeah and at least they’re creator had a cool story.

Me too. That’s comparable to my dad’s old 4 cylinder Toyota Pickup (mid-80’s, so similar era). Smaller engine and wayyyy less power so I would’ve expected the pickup to get worse than the Delorean.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I’d love to take that as a project vehicle.

Batteries for home setup (on TOU plan, so it’d be nice to charge when rates are low and discharge when high).
Then slap an combustion engine in there that just acts as a power plant for the electric motors. It’d probably be biting off more than I can chew, but it sounds like a hell of a learning opportunity and tickles my engineering/tinker brain’s fancy.

Of course, after blowing something up, I’d probably focus on dissecting the drive train and using them motors for something else. I’m suddenly curious what the suspension set up is like. If they’ve got some crazy high tech mag-ride system, I’ll bet that could be repurposed for another vehicle (pending Tesla proprietary protocols for connecting to ECU).

But now I’m rambling. The thoughts of what I could do with those parts though.

Ninjaedit: just took a look as some of the pondering above. I forgot how silly the interiors look, so def wouldn’t bother with attempting it as a project car.

I feel the same way. I find it near miraculous I didn’t fall into the trap that’s being sold to young men these days.

I’m hesitant to share too much of my own story, but it makes me feel real sympathy for the guys being ridiculed for following Tate and such. I know the leaders are garbage, but its hard to not feel attacked when I hear the general internet lashing out at the followers for being ensnared.

I know what its like to be young and dumb, to be told you have so much potential, but then to also feel direction-less and like a loser.

I know the leaders are charlatans that are selling snake oil…but I don’t know what to tell these guys to get them unhooked from that crowd.

Side note, isn’t TempleOS not Linux based?

Seems like the creator (forget his name) had some beef with Linus Torvalds and was originally trying to build something to get away from his software, no?

Edit: yeah, based on the Wikipedia Page, it looks like its not based on the Linux Kernel. Also dev’s name was Terry Davis.
