Molecular0079,

That’s my reasoning as well. Jif is for peanut butter, why make things extra confusing?

Molecular0079,

Yeah, if you look at some of those YouTube channels that scam the scammers, you’ll usually see that the scammers are all running Windows.

Is ProtonVPN worth it?

@piracy

Got reminded of this while reading about ProtonMail. The reason I haven't gotten into proper is that I don't have a VPN for torrenting, and the reason I don't have a VPN is that I don't . So it would be nice if I got a good VPN while myself.

Will ProtonVPN rat me out to Comcast? I know some VPNs don't hide what you're downloading from your ISP, for reasons I don't fully understand.

Molecular0079,

Just make sure to either set the Wireguard profile’s IPv6 to Link-Local or disable IPv6 on your network connection, otherwise you’ll leak data and DNS entries over it. The reason is because Proton’s wireguard implementation does not support ipv6 yet.

Molecular0079,

It does allow port forwarding. The Windows app supports it. On Linux, you can do it via a one-liner script: protonvpn.com/…/port-forwarding-manual-setup/

Molecular0079,

ProtonVPN is a no log VPN according to their privacy policy: protonvpn.com/privacy-policy

They have servers specifically for port forwarding and P2P traffic. I use them and I haven’t gotten a DMCA request yet so 🤷🏻‍♂️

Molecular0079,

I agree, for most cases just mount it via your File Manager of choice. If you’re using it as a backing storage for another server, then that’s a use case where fstab is fine.

Molecular0079,

Which file manager are you using?

In Nautilus, you can right click anywhere and click Open in Console, at which point it will open up a terminal leading to a gvfs mount directory.

In KDE, it is slightly more annoying because there’s no right click option to quickly open it in terminal, but like gvfs, there’s a mount directory that you can access at /run/user//kio-fuse-/smb/.

Molecular0079,

Lately performance has improved dramatically. A year ago, it used to be about half-speed, but now it’s basically on par with a CLI-mount.

qBittorrent network interface bind not working?

I am using ProtonVPN, and have (or so I thought) set up qBittorrent to bind to the network interface that ProtonVPN is using (tun0). The connection symbol turns red if I turn off the VPN, and downloads will stop. However, when checking the torrent address on ipleak.net, it seems that this bind is not working properly - my real...

Molecular0079,

Ah then that’s not the issue then. Weird that the qbittorrent interface bind isn’t working for you. Maybe try Wireguard instead? Def set IPv6 to link local and add ::/0 to allowed IPs on the Wireguard profile.

Molecular0079,

Are you leaking data via IPv6? That’s a known issue at least with the default Wireguard configs, not sure about OpenVPN.

Molecular0079,

In ipleak.net, your ipv4 address will be VPN IP and your IPv6 will be your own.

Molecular0079,

Does it work in Wayland?

Molecular0079,

I hate how he cuts the video whenever an app is loading. I want to get a feel for how fast apps are launching. The fact that he’s cutting makes me think it must take forever for apps to launch.

Molecular0079,

It really needs proper federated search. I shouldn’t have to go to a secondary site just to search for videos across the network.

Molecular0079,

Lol, you know you’re getting old when other people start questioning cinema aspect ratios.

Molecular0079,

The problem with ROCm is that its very unstable and a ton of applications break on it. Darktable only renders half an image on my Radeon 680M laptop. HIP in Blender is also much slower than Optix. We’re still waiting on HIP-RT.

Molecular0079,

No shame, job market for tech is fucking tough right now, but it will improve. In the meantime, keep your skills fresh. Start some projects of your own that will help you pick up the necessary skills and stay relevant and do freelance jobs on Upwork and similar services.

I was in a very similar situation as you just a few months ago. Worked with several freelance clients and one of them hired me on full time. Pays well and full remote, and luckily in an area that’s isolated from all the craziness happening right now.

You got this! A CSE bachelor’s is way too valuable to stay a bum for long.

Molecular0079,

SP7 camera isn’t going to be supported until we get IPU4 Linux drivers, so it isn’t a libcamera issue.
