mateomaui,

I would avoid it, as it may use the alternate instead of the pihole at anytime. If you want redundancy, it’s best to have a second pihole.

Linux Ubuntu Dual-booting horror

Any and all help would be so greatly appreciated. I’ve been battling with my laptop to be able to dual-boot Ubuntu Cinnamon and Windows 10 for about four days now. I’ve probably gone down five or six different rabbit-holes of troubleshooting, GRUB command-line fun, reinstalling and updating the BIOS, trying and failing to...

mateomaui,

Sorry this isn’t an answer to the question, only a general reminder for whoever needs it to always create a disk image backup beforehand using Macrium Reflect or similar, so you can rollback nightmares like this.

Me vs my ISP

So I was looking into getting port forwarding set up and I realized just how closed-off the internet has gotten since the early days. It’s concerning. It used to be you would buy your own router and connect it to the internet, and that router would control port-forwarding and what-have-you....

I can do whatever I need to.

edit: if it wasn’t clear, I didn’t buy them from my ISP, so my ISP had nothing to do with the firmware on it.

Everything worth seeing can be torrented anyway. I canceled a year ago and haven’t noticed a loss of anything as long as any orders are over $35 for free shipping.

After 23 years, developer reveals he snuck a cheat code past Sony that turns a cult-classic horror game into a godsend for retro enthusiasts (www.gamesradar.com)

Article about a recent revelation by the Youtube Channel Modern Vintage Gaming: The game “Alien Resurrection” by Argonaut contains a code which allows to run burned CD copies of Playstation 1 games.

mateomaui,

It’s essentially the same as using a boot cd before using a copied game, which also was a thing then.

Travel VPN Routers compared to OpenWRT Rasberry Pi (simplifiedprivacy.com)

Travel routers with VPN or Tor allow you to avoid trusting the DNS from WiFi ISPs and cell phone towers. Some even let you plugin USB modems and switch MAC addresses to help bypass WiFi captchas on multiple devices. This article compares GL.inet to a Rasberry Pi with OpenWRT, and can give you some ideas for privacy and security...

I have the GL.inet Beryl router, absolutely the best addition to my travel tech. I’ve considered upgrading to a newer model for faster vpn for torrents, but this can still easily run off a 2.4v usb battery pack and handles everything reasonably.

Something disturbing about Hallmark movies

I was talking with a friend today about Hallmark movies because we all seem to have at least one grandma who loves them around this time of year, and we’re hashing out the tropes they all share because they’re so formulaic that you could probably boil it down to a mad libs prompt, and something dawned on me because of one...

mateomaui,

If you read the background on the network, it shouldn’t be surprising at all.

Totally different solution…

Today marks the release of a pre-activated version of the new Tiny11 2023.11 (23H2) on torrentgalaxy No TPM required.

windowscentral.com/…/windows-11s-lightweight-vers…

edit: seems to be an issue with the pre-activation for Tiny11, so just get the original here instead: archive.org/details/tiny11-2311

and use the script from ultratiem on it irm https://massgrave.dev/get | iex

There’s also Tiny10, though it apparently has some limitations and I don’t know what they are. (edit: Proxima_Centauri11 below indicates the limitations may not matter though.) You can get it here: archive.org/details/tiny-10-23-h2 and use the same script instead.

mateomaui,

probably off peeing somewhere

mateomaui,

Human adoption complete.

mateomaui, (edited )

I was about to ask if this was a paid premium or modded app.

Out of curiosity, what rewards?

How is the piracy experience on an iPad ?

So I am planning on buying an ipad, never owned one before. I have always been an android guy and from what I have heard Ipad os or ios is pretty restrictive in nature so I was wondering how much does it hamper the piracy experience. For example on android I can torrent files of any nature or size without any restrictions and...

mateomaui,

No problem, Android is definitely more for sailors because they can use extensions in Firefox, do torrents, install emulators, etc. I have an ipad for business but an android tablet for fun.

mateomaui,

Now there’s a “Teamwork” poster.

mateomaui,

new… from 2019… he’s probably moved on to Brawndo by now.

mateomaui,

Weird they aren’t familiar with renewable resources.

mateomaui,

I’ve never heard anyone compare pixelation size to their cat’s poop before.

    mateomaui,

    Does she have any idea how many magats on Twitter are anonymous? There goes her chances right there.

    mateomaui, (edited )

    It doesn’t say any of that information about non-VIP accounts, go read it yourself, and the information you quoted about anonymous accounts is also wrong.

    edit: I won’t be receiving any replies from this commenter. If anyone wants to say I’m wrong, feel free to provide a screenshot from the blogpost proving it.

    mateomaui,

    I completely forgot there are laptops with no lan port now.

    mateomaui,

    Debian guy could have saved time by connecting to lan after boot and installing the wifi package directly.

    mateomaui,

    I’ll never forget that scream, I thought a sound like that was reserved for when the cat ran behind the couch and stepped on the surge protector button, corrupting the hard drive as you were almost finished writing your graduate thesis, which wasn’t backed up yet.

    mateomaui, (edited )

    No idea, wondering the same thing myself. I can see most via a regular browser while not logged in, but it’s obvious some are missing. It’s possible the commenter I replied to deleted their comments, got banned, or something, and for whatever reason replies to those are also not visible in apps. There’s a comment asking if someone else knows their account was marked as a bot, maybe that has something to do with it.

    mateomaui,

    I’ve got some idiot or a group of them following me around now making brand new accounts and single comments per account that say things that end with “not my problem” and downvoting everything, which is amusing because I’m on a server with downvotes disabled. All because I dismissed their complaints about this youtuber LOL

    So… yeah… Lemmy is having a Reddit day.

    mateomaui,

    You just identified the fallacy yourself.

    Sometimes a paywalled source is the first to report on something. Calling that link a bad link is nonsense.

    90+% of the time, using reader mode will bypass paywalls anyway.

    Many people don’t know all the websites to redirect things through without that, so calling their contribution “bad” just because they posted that link isn’t the greatest.

    It’s not even like it’s that big an issue, because usually someone else comes along that provides an alt link in the replies, so saying that this is a social failure is also ridiculous, because both were provided between two people.

    Also, the notion that you or anyone else is socially filtering non-misinformation news sources from the rest of us, because you don’t see the value in it, or cannot figure out how to bypass the paywall yourself, isn’t all that great either.

    edit: it’s also worth pointing out that if some people contributing links happen to be subscribers to a news source, as a subscriber they won’t necessarily know that a certain article is paywalled for everyone else, until they share it and someone who isn’t a subscriber gets the notice.
