There's a FUCKING QUARRY MOD???!!! Thank you kind sir. I'm going mining.

Oh absolutely. I have hundreds of hours logged, probably over a thousand now. It just gets so complicated and intense that I give up before getting anywhere near "end game".

I'm surprised anyone has the patience to get to a space ship. I get bored late midgame when you run out of steel and have to juggle caravans and a colony which is constantly beset with attacks and adverse conditions.

Seriously, folks in the US need to start organising. The people in charge of your country are going to take everything you have if you let them. Resist.

I don't know if this applies in the US but multiple people can take out a mortgage against the same property. If you have 3/4 trustworthy friends then you can pool your money to buy a place. It's complicated but better to invest your money in your own property than to line the pockets of cunt landlords and letting agents.

That's what it wants you to think

Tell me about it. How I long for the days of MySpace and Napster and the fun little hobbyist websites of the 90s, when windows was just an innocent little OS. Now we have Meta/Google/Amazon and that's pretty much the whole internet and it's watching you ALL THE TIME.

I was you until about 3 months ago when I discovered Microsoft sells cloud services to the IDF. Political motivations aside, I would encourage you to try out a KDE plasma linux distro. It's laid out pretty much exactly the same as windows 10 and bazzite worked for me out of the box even with a relatively rare gaming laptop build.

VPN Issues (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Apocalypteroid@lemmy.world to c/homenetworking@selfhosted.forum
 

Hi all. Hoping someone can answer my question. I've set up a surfshark open VPN client on my home router (an Asus AX8) but it's causing me some issues.

I live in the UK and my kid loves watching cartoons on the BBC through our smart TV. Because the BBC app is location locked to the UK it doesn't work with the VPN on, and even when I've turned the VPN off in the router settings, my location seems to jump around all over the place, and I've confirmed this with IP location searches.

I'm aware I could run VPNs on every other device, but I'd really like to put my entire network behind the VPN (other than the TV) if possible. Is there a way of creating an exception for my TV so that it can bypass the VPN? If so can anyone advise how to do it? OR is there a way of location locking my VPN to show as being within the UK? Normally apps on my devices I can choose where I'm located, that doesn't seem to be an option on the router.

Any advice appreciated! Thanks!

 

Hi, brand new linux noob and am having issues right off the bat.

I've just installed Garuda Dr460nized edition on my Legion laptop, fresh install (no dual boot), run the updater, installed a few apps and first thing I see is a little warning that tells me I need to merge pacdiff files and the file affected is mirrorlist.pacnew.

Do a little reading, get the general gist of what I'm supposed to do, then use the distro bundled software (Kompare) to merge all differences, save, reboot. BUT, the warning it still there, and now, when I go back into kompare, it tells me the two files are identical, plus there seem to be a bunch a graphical bugs now that weren't there before I merged the files.

Very confused as to why this file, which just seems to be a list of various website mirrors, would cause graphical issues but like I said, I'm brand new to this, but determined to learn from my mistakes.

Can anyone explain what I've done wrong? I can't seem to undo the changes now.
