CmdrShepard, to linux in How to exclude SSH port from VPN so you can remote access while VPN is up

This (and “tyre”) is why we won the war.

CmdrShepard, to privacy in What can we do about major sites blocking VPN providers?

I’ve had this exact scenario happen with my Amazon account. One the one hand its annoying, but on the other I don’t want them to make it easier for someone in another country to order stuff using my account and credit card.

CmdrShepard, to piracy in Once a pirate, always a pirate

It’s almost as if we’re all different people.

CmdrShepard, to piracy in Where to find torrents?

It’s actually decent for finding really old, less popular movies/tv.

CmdrShepard, to piracy in Ways to pirate music as convenient as Spotify?

There are ways to rip physicsl media but they break the encryption which is ‘illegal’.

I meant more just having control of the actual files when buying from places like Amazon or ITunes rather than just being given library access to the songs for so long until that company loses the license and deletes them from your library.

Can you even buy DRM free music these days?

CmdrShepard, to movies in STRIKE OVER: Actors Make a Deal With Studios After 118 Days

Why the need for secrecy now it’s all said and done?

Because it’s not all said and done yet lol

CmdrShepard, to asklemmy in 1st time house buyer, potentially serious structural issues found... anyone have advice re negotiating price reduction / if I should pull out?

Yes the HVAC was a full install as he had an oil burning furnace with radiant floor heating prior to this. They installed an AC/furnace and ducting. The windows were through one of those sleazy companies like Renewal by Anderson and like I said I think he got fleeced on both jobs.

I’d just recommend not settling for something in poor condition just because you feel beat down or overwhelmed by the grind.

You will be filled with constant regret if you wind up buying some dilapidated property simply because you’re tired of the back and forth because once you sign the papers, you’re stuck with it. The process isn’t enjoyable, but try not to let that get to you.

Not sure what the exact condition of house is nor what contractors charge for work in your area, but in my area of the US, $15k isn’t going to get you very far on most projects. One of my coworkers just spent $27k to have an HVAC system installed and $40k for new windows. I think he got fleeced, but even halving those prices, you’re still being given a rough quote equivalent to these somewhat basic tasks for what sounds like serious structural work.

CmdrShepard, to piracy in Ripping spotify

Lidarr automates the acquisition but doesn’t actually supply you with any songs to download. I have to agree with them that pirating music is not easy these days and this is coming from someone in about half a dozen private trackers with around 60TB of TV and movies on my server.

Aside from finding the files, there’s also barely any standard for file naming and lots of different sources for specific songs (from multiple different albums even) which makes managing it all a huge pain in the ass (Lidarr does help with this part though provided your sources are good).

CmdrShepard, (edited ) to asklemmy in What do you think happened to the hikers in the Dyatlov Pass Incident?

It’s been a while since I read about it but IIRC, rescuers arrived just days later and were able to follow their tracks down the mountain to where some of the bodies were eventually found. An avalanche powerful enough to kill the whole party surely would have wiped all this away even if some of it had melted away in the preceding couple of days.

CmdrShepard, to asklemmy in What do you think happened to the hikers in the Dyatlov Pass Incident?

Would an avalanche have buried/displaced their tent and bodies?

CmdrShepard, to linux in The best RAID setup for internal HDD and does it actually make sense to use it all for gaming?

Are you accounting for stuff like SATA cables and cradle mounts for the HDDs in your cost calculation?

CmdrShepard, to piracy in Trying to understand "Stalled" Status

Nah the website displayed “seed/leech” numbers can be outdated or fudged (1337x is notorious for this) but the number you see in Qbit will be accurate, however those 9 seeds you see are either people without the complete file or people who aren’t port forwarding because “you don’t need port forwarding for torrents” and you can’t connect to them.

CmdrShepard, to piracy in issues with QbitTorrent stalled torrents

In the bottom center of the Qbit app does the icon show as red, yellow, or green? This displays whether you are connectable or not. I’d bet it’s a port issue. If Proton offers port forwarding, find the port they assigned you and input it into the “incoming connections” port in the Qbit settings.
