Extreme “gamer aesthetic” cringe to me but someone will love it. I’d love a somewhat shiny rose gold one or a ThinkPad themed or a military olive one though

We had this as the firewall in our school! I remember bypassing it in so many ways with Google DNS and whatnot.

I love Canis Canem Edit!

You’ve got the coolest instance name I’ve seen btw! Not sure if it’s depression lofi band or a real thing but awesome either way

I also believe that ads in games are OK with minimal disruption

Yeah you’re gonna find this to not be a popular opinion in the non-mobile gaming spaces. I block all vidya from accessing the internet in any fashion.

That’s true, and you can make Windows XP look like '98, but is it really what retro enthusiasts would want?

I mean, it could be very fun and perhaps even worth playing, but surely you understand that a game that on-paper doesn’t require the viewing of ads, but heavily incentivizes just that is still problematic?

It’s like one of those “free-to-play” particularly grindy MMOs, sure, you don’t have to pay, just grind the “kill 10 goblin rats in a basement quest” for 250 hours and you’ll have all the loot you need to get to level 2, but the option to pay is there if you so-choose it.

In such a case it is fairly obvious that there is not actually a choice when you are heavily incentivized towards one end.

I remember I made a thread asking for advice running an older version of Linux for funsies and to experience it and unironically someone said something along those lines to me, like “uhm Linux isn’t windows you can use modern packages and new distros support older hardware” like ughh

Not really any ads either, unless you choose to watch them for more coin.

Not really any ads

What. So are there or aren’t there

unless you choose to watch them

Why? Is there some sort of incentive?

for more coin.

So not only are there ads but you’re manipulated into watching them. That checks out for a mobile game.

I use macvtaps in my homelab for vulnerable VMs because no matter how I set up the bridges or what guide I followed it just broke networking every time on a headless server that’s a massive pain to fix.

Wish I knew about macvtaps from the get-go, it was a dead giveaway that bridges are some demonic shit on Linux as every guide was different, and for every guide there was always some people on Reddit saying how it didn’t work for them at all.

I haven’t found myself missing hard-corpo software in a while but in that moment I really wished I was just using VMware on windows where creating a bridge interface takes one click instead of janky virsh syntax and messing with ifconfig etc.

Definitely not how it works for me and I’ve never used key Auth.

Dunno why my comment was removed but I remarked that it’s either fed to them as scraps or it’s in use by scammers and bots.

Idk why my comment was removed. I just said most internet traffic is chinese bots which are not sentient so they’re okay with using IPv6 instead of IPv4 like people do.

IPv4 exhaustion is ofc a problem. But IPv6 discarding NAT is like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Hmm, how about we have public facing IPv6 to gateway and then NAT to IPv4 internally. I wouldn’t have a problem with it then. In general I wouldn’t even have a problem with IPv6 or v8 or whatever even internally as long as we’ll always have NAT.

I’d also like to know, is there a way to just turn off this ipv6 trashfire? Preferably in a universal, cross-distro way?

Seems like the most universal way is: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“ipv6.disable=1”

None. Dashy’s authentication was famously literally security theatre even with Keycloak. You could just pause the load in browser and have full access to the config. Because it let you iframe whatever you could now do so with local services to enum. Somehow Jellyfin is unbustable though. So it’s a bit of a crapshoot. Look at past vulnerabilities. Stuff like XSS unless stored you don’t need to worry about, clickjacking, tab nabbing etc. On the other hand anything that’s arbitrary file read, SQLI, RCE, LFI, RFI, SSRF etc. I would look at seriously. E.g. don’t make your 13ft public because it can be used to literally enumerate your entire private network.

Wow, looks like someone’s got a a case of the muhndays!
