I don’t have the patience to argue with you, but you are wrong.

obtain an injunction that can apply further pressure on domain registrars and registries.

Fuck the DNS.

We can just have a public page that has their IP address and connect directly using that.

If they have money to sue, they must not be hurting too badly from piracy.

I recommend using Manjaro instead.

I used to believe that useful idiots were the exception, not the norm.

Caffeine pills, once in awhile if I’m feeling tired.

Probably the lack of diversity among instances.

Everyone is still afraid of defederation, so we don’t truly embrace what the fediverse is capable of.

Stupidity is not neurodivergent.

It’s neurotypical.

Sorry you have to deal with that.

Culture can be a real pain in the ass and it’s especially egregious when the people who are a part of it feel no shame or remorse.

You, unfortunately, also get to see firsthand why some houses are cheaper than others.

I had something like this set up where essentially my wireguard VPS acted as a proxy that allowed me to forward all ports to my local machine that’s connected to it.

I had to use AI to figure this out, and I still don’t get it. Here are the commands that I saved:

ip route add 10.0.0.2/32 dev wg0;
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o wg0 -j ACCEPT;
iptables -A FORWARD -i wg0 -o eth0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT;
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE;
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 1:65535 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.0.2;
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p udp --dport 1:65535 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.0.2;

This is to be run on the wireguard VPS.

wg0 is the name of the wireguard interface, brought up with something like wg-quick up wg0. eth0 is the name of the network interface.

I don’t fully understand it so I can’t explain it better, but this is what allowed me to forward traffic from my VPS to my computer as though it were a router with open ports.

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me can chime in and give clarification.

Plan 9 challenge

Your complaint is about display server, not distro.

I think if he had somebody better to onboard him, he’d have a better experience.

In classic manchild fashion, you people always blame the user instead of the technology. It doesn’t take a genius to realize that switching to Linux is not going to be without issues for anyone, let alone the average computer user.

Instead of taking the opportunity to be a loser by gatekeeping, we should be saying “Yeah, the Linux ecosystem still has a long way to go. What makes it better is that it’s free software. You now get to be a part of the community making it better and get to see for yourself where we are.”

None of you will say that though because you’re too stuck in your ways. It makes me sick, but I’m glad I’m not one of you.

Manjaro was the go-to distro for laymen, but manchildren got upset it wasn’t “their” distro being recommended by parties like Valve so they berated anyone who suggested it.

LTT is the internet equivalent of those TV channels that were nothing but ads.

Having security updates locked behind a paywall is wild.

Canonical clearly has too many resources and they waste those resources on positions that don’t need to exist.

It’s free software.

There isn’t much sense in it at all.

Fuck this shit is so complicated.
