  • Using Proton VPN with YouTube now gives me this.

  • I also have an SSID that doesn't get VPN'd, though my DNS is always VPN'd.

    As for accessing JellyFin, etc., I think we have somewhat different setups. My self hosted services are by default accessible without a VPN (SSID is on a VLAN with e.g. 192.168.0.0/24, servers are on 192.168.1.0/24, router routes between them). For the blanket VPN'd SSID I have a routing rule that routes over the main, not VPN, table, so local services can be accessed.

    So: local traffic has a rule to route without VPN, reddit routes with a specific VPN, and general traffic routes with a different VPN.

    There are lots of VLANs involved in my setup, and I'm sure it's overly complicated and has gaping security issues, but it's just a home network and it's kinda fun :(

  • I have this set up on my router. My wifi is blanket tunneled through a VPN. For annoying sites that restrict access like reddit, my router routes through a specific VPN server that doesn't (yet) get blocked (I don't post/comment/browse, but occasionally find a post that answers a question). That way it works on my whole home network, regardless of device.

    Same could be done for YouTube presumably, but maybe a little more complicated (reddit seems to work with a single /32 address).

    Plus, it's fun to set up---MikroTik router, Mullvad, and an ARM SBC doing the VPN duties for me, but myriad ways to get it working for other configurations.

  • But once you got that XFree86 config dialed in, life was awesome.

    (Ok looks like Xorg has been around for 21 years, so maybe you were running it instead.)

  • Per the Linux kernel coding style:

    Tabs are 8 characters, and thus indentations are also 8 characters. There are heretic movements that try to make indentations 4 (or even 2!) characters deep, and that is akin to trying to define the value of PI to be 3.

  • Linux is awesome at home, but aren't y'all forced to use Windows at work?

    Jump

  • Mac at work. Yabai+sketchybar is no i3wm replacement, but it works ok.

    My .zshrc is basically the same as I use on my personal computers, and aside from a few coreutils differences it...kinda just works. I have apt aliased to brew so I can feel more at home.

    Stock terminal works fine---I use xterm on Linux, so I'm used to relying on tmux for nice features anyway.

    Basically, I miss the window manager, but practically speaking that's a about it. (I obviously have xscreensaver installed!)

  • Thought I'd let you know

  • Slack got me through college on an ancient (even at the time) ThinkPad 600e. Good times!

    I had a suite of scripts to log in to the university Linux cluster, download the kernel source and out-of-tree modules (required for the PCMCIA WiFi adapter), compile it, and rsync it back to my laptop.

  • What are some of your most useful or favorite terminal commands?

    Jump

  • nc is useful. For example: if you have a disk image downloaded on computer A but want to write it to an SD card on computer B, you can run something like

    user@B: nc -l 1234 | pv > /dev/$sdcard

    And

    user@A: nc B.local 1234 < /path/to/image.img

    (I may have syntax messed up--also don't transfer sensitive information this way!)

    Similarly, no need to store a compressed file if you're going to uncompress it as soon as you download it---just pipe wget or curl to tar or xz or whatever.

    I once burnt a CD of a Linux ISO by wgeting directly to cdrecord. It was actually kinda useful because it was on a laptop that was running out of HD space. Luckily the University Internet was fast and the CD was successfully burnt :)

  • A dishwasher is a total quality of life thing for us.

    It sucks that some places don't offer them. They're not even very expensive, it's just the kitchen real estate/installation that sucks.

    A place I loved in after college had a full size unit on wheels that you hooked up to sink to use---worked fine, just took up space. They also make countertop units, but I have no idea how well those work.

  • 1337 h4x0r rule

  • You might say, "well akshually it should be sudo apt upgrade, because you shouldn't generally use the the root account," but some of us just have apt aliased to sudo apt.

  • Both Ford and Mercedes own a /8 block of public IP addresses, that is 16 million public IPV4 addresses each

    Jump

  • 4*8 = 24

    TIL ;)

    Each /8 is 1/256th of all IPv4 addresses, not counting reserved/illegal addresses. Not sure where 1/1000 is coming from...

  • What folders do you make in addition to the default ones ?

  • Fun/interesting things to self host?

  • Maybe not a service in the typical sense, but setting up your router+server to route your home network traffic through a VPN is a fun project.

    My router (MikroTik) supports WireGuard, so I can use it with Mullvad for the whole house---but wg is demanding and it's a slow router, so while it can NAT at ~1Gbps, it can't do WireGuard at more than ~90Mbps. So, I set up WireGuard/Mullvad on a little SBC with a fast processor, and have my router use that instead. Using policy based routing and/or mangling, I can have different VLANs/subnets/individual hosts selectively routed through the VPN.

    It's a fun exercise, not sure I implemented it in a smart way, but it works :)

    Jump

  • Whenever I have a Linux box without Internet I just USB tether an Android phone---if the phone is on WiFi then it uses that (not cell), so it's basically just a WiFi adapter that's almost universally supported. (I think it NATs, so in some circumstances won't work, but good enough for most emergency use cases.)

  • Unreal Tournament 2004 is getting revived by OldUnreal with approval from Epic Games

    Jump

  • IIRC UT2K4 shipped with a Linux port on the install media.

    In college around the time this came out, there were beefy Linux machines in one of the libraries. You could ssh into them for homework, but you could also physically access them. Xenon, with Nvidia Quadro gfx is my recollection.

    So, I would rsync the game to /tmp (no root access of course, and home quota was too small), walk over and enjoy it on high end hardware. Fun stuff!
