I have this 11 year old oddly resistant Pentium laptop and I’m thinking of turning it into a reading/light-programming tool. It used to run great back in the day but modern software has gotten so bloated that it can barely run GNOME with Firefox, so I was thinking of sticking to command line only. Is there anything specific I...
Hi there, On my router/modem I cannot change the DNS entries, thus just using Adguard/PiHole for DNS blocking ads doesn’t work. Would a seperate Router circumvent this problem? Could I set up Adguard (or PiHole) on a Raspberry and use it as a DNS server for my home network?...
Yes, that will work. On your router plug in WAN (or whatever that’s called on your router) port to the ISP router, set up IP-range and NAT (plus DHCP and whatever other services you might want to use) and plug in the rest of your network on the LAN side of the router. That way the only thing ISP router will see is your own router and everything else is behind that & yours to configure however you wish.
I’ve ran setup like this on several locations and (if possible) I’ve used bridged port on the ISP router, so that ISP router is only a ‘media converter’ and my own router connects directly to the public internet. Just make sure to have proper firewall configuration and keep safety in mind when doing that. If bridging isn’t possible your traffic just goes trough NAT twice (your router and ISP router) which in some odd edge cases can cause problems, but they’re very rare.
Now, based on the Reddark tracker, the biggest subreddit still private is r/streetwear. According to Zach, who told me last week that he is also a mod of that community, it has more than 4 million subscribers. The subreddit also has a Discord.
When there’s even !streetwear although I note they try and redirect people on here over to Discord. All seems odd.
CalcKey adopts a new name, new logo, new site, and new project infrastructure. While the name is somewhat odd, this feels like a really big step forward for the project.

It’s definitely not for everyone! I like being able to group functions by size and position, vs just a bunch of app bubbles, and the cubist look is oddly satisfying.
It’s useful for me to get the whole picture, or whip open a productivity app, in one tap or swipe, so I can get back to whatever else is happening. So, on a 6.2in, everything is very readable.
I really like watching ChristopherOdd and Gab Smolders. Odd plays a lot of tactical games and popular titles. Gab tends to do more indie and horror but also does some popular games on occasion.

That looks like 8.8.8.8 actually responded. The ::1 is ipv6’s localhost which seems odd. As for the wong ipv4 I’m not sure.
I normally see something like requested 8.8.8.8 but 1.2.3.4 responded if the router was forcing traffic to their DNS servers.
You can also specify the DNS server to use when using nslookup like: nslookup www.google.com 1.1.1.1. And you can see if you get and different answers from there. But what you posted doesn’t seem out of the ordinary other than the ::1.
Edit just for shits and giggles also try nslookup xx.xx.xx.xx where xx.xx… is the wrong up from the other side of the world and see what domain it returns.
Ages ago I bought a movie off of a certain company’s video streaming service. We will call them GRC for short since I do not want to draw the attention of their bots. I downloaded the movie onto my PC via the GRC Windows 11 app, but rather than a simple .mkv like I hoped, I found a folder with 5 different files. Two of them...
Have you ever played a game and wondered what if you could do something that it doesn’t really allow you to do, for example being able to move around blocks in Minecraft fluidly instead of in sectors, edit the world in Hogwarts legacy with spells, be able to fly in a world like Elden Ring or Elder Scrolls with epic sky...
It’s not search and rescue as such, but Snowrunner is a cool take on disaster recovery. The action comes from a weird place, too; driving slowly over difficult terrain. You need to react quickly and keep your wits about you all while doing 4mph. Crawling through mud in an eight-wheeled truck while desperately trying not to tip over.
It’s an odd mixture of relaxation, sheer frustration, and job satisfaction. Oh and there’s plenty of gear porn if you like ridiculously powerful machinery too.
Maybe this is the trauma from the unhinged, raging, exploitative robber barons talking, but…
I can’t in good conscience support any economic system that ties political power to economic power. One extreme will always do their best to accrue and centralize that power, and will be effective by virtue of the fact that the power creates more opportunities and ways to accrue more power. The other extreme will always be ineffectual because they shun that power, seeing the necessary rejection of certain values as inherently corrupt. The middle will struggle against both to maintain a status quo that always has a stronger pull toward the former group, effectively recreating the political ratchet.
I can’t in good conscience support a system that allows people to effectively own others, regardless of how well they treat the people they own, regardless of how many owners one of the owned has to choose from. The dynamic has a strong tendency in favor of the owners and requires a lot more effort from the owned to fight that.
I can’t in good conscience support a system that allows people to own pstches of the earth, especially beyond those which they occupy or personally use. Yes, I want everyone to have somewhere to live, and have that place be free from unwanted interference by others. No, i won’t support a system that in theory has no hard limits against someone powerful enough buying up all the land and then renting it out to everyone else for a profit.
I can’t in good conscience support a system that allows people to own ideas, and even necessitates them doing so to “earn their keep” (worth as a citizen/right to survive). I feel like I’m in bizzaro world when i think about how there are people oddly comfortable with the fact that people have put patents on living things, or that there are people who can tell you when, where and how you’re allowed to express certain ideas/arts/mechanisms/songs/images/sounds/formulae under threat of being stripped of power you managed to accrue (whether or not it came from aforementioned ideas), imprisonment, and in some cases slavery.
I won’t support any political system that doesn’t give me at least as much power as everyone else. I have enough emapthy to realize that pure democracy is a better compromise than authoritarianism, especially considering most other people either feel the same or just want a system where their needs get met.
But mainly, it’s just plain illogical ti support any given political system as an ends when 1. The world is a constantly changing place, and any rigidly defined system will inevitably fail regardless of how well it fits to the context in which it was created. And 2. I am aware of better alternatives—to paraphrase what some stranger once said to me: idealism is what we aim for, reality is the compromise we make; in other words: if politics is a negotiation, why lead with a compromise?
Hopefully this isn’t too Murrica-brained. When I see news of proto-fascist movements on the rise in the UK, Brazil, Italy and Australia, or extreme class disparity in Singapore, China, and Japan, or ethnic “cleansing” in China, Turkey, Rwanda, and Liberia, or just something as simple as how common scams and fraud are from places like India and Nigeria—indicating a need to resort to intercontinental theft to survive—I feel like my experience of politics and economics isn’t as limited to my geographic region as I’d like to believe.

but what chance is there it's even quicker? 0.01%? To me that's a scary high number! Would you be happy having someone roll a dice with a 1 in 10000 chance of killing everyone? How low is enough?

My feed is filled with dumb “advices”, so called “professionals” that post the most entry level stuff and all sorts of shit that if I were a recruiter I would stay away from these people
Most offers I’ve got I don’t even know what the job is. Like they will just say my profile matches what they are looking for and ask if I’d like to talk, no other context except the company name. I could ask, but I find kinda odd they don’t even say what the job is right away. Feels like spam, I guess.
Yeah, unfortunately, I think it’s just bad law. I think it’d be okay legislatively, which is why it’s sooooo incredibly odd that the democrats didn’t codify RvW despite having many many many opportunities. But ultimately, I think it was a terribly ruled case that I think the SC was right to overturn. Fun fact, RBG also shares my belief.
I’ve always thought the same thing. I grew up playing a few sports and there was never room for toxicity, even the one or two times I played in a somewhat competitive league. Now I’m playing casual esports and I gg after every match, win or lose. I don’t really get why that’s hard for some people, and they have trouble focusing on the win condition.
It’s especially frustrating to see people give up in a 4v5 or something like that too. Like yeah it’s not going to be easy, but it’s not impossible. And when you end up coming out on top against the odds, you feel like a god, and you remember that match forever. I think people just want the high from winning without actually needing to try. It explains why there’s so many people who make smurf accounts too 😐
