Goalposts in transit.

I think the point is the number of times someone is having such an issue, and those people show up to proclaim they’ve never had such problems as if it’s helpful. So, at least you can recognize it’s not.

Players hated it, so… true?

Dunno, but it’s on archive.md

At this point, I’m half expecting someone to announce a “linux_circlejerk” community for all those posts being complained about today, to balance out the already newly formed “gnulinux” community where none of it should go.

yep

should be

uh huh

Yes, that’s why I said “not necessarily.”

Not necessarily, I installed LMDE 6 and still needed to manually install the wifi drivers.

Contrary to what some have said here, it’s not unusual to have to download and manually install the wifi driver for Mint. It’s even mentioned as the one extra step in a cartoon comparing the time it takes to install three different distros. I had to do this for two different laptops.

OmanMkII already provided the link for intel, but here it is again:

Huh, I’ll definitely look into that. Both times I tried to route external pihole access, somehow other mystery services found it and it slowed to a crawl from getting absolutely pounded by requests not from me. Thanks for that tip!

Except that, as I’ve already mentioned, I have two piholes, and sometimes both will be receiving requests. Based on your description, the second would never receive requests as long as the first is online. Perhaps this is router dependent, but it’s what I’ve observed.

Pretty much. Not sure how the router determines which DNS to use, but mine seems to latch onto whichever one serves up results the fastest, which would inevitably be cloudflare direct after the pihole returns enough blocks.

So I use a Raspberry Pi Zero W as a dedicated pihole, and my Pi 4 seedbox acts as its own pihole and as a redundant backup. Then use gravity-sync from the Zero to the 4 to mirror the settings.

I have two piholes, and sometimes both will receive requests at the same time, if there’s a lot of traffic.

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.

They should get comfortable with me downloading cracked versions of their games.

Only four are at issue in the trial, including Leonardo da Vinci’s “Salvator Mundi, ” Latin for “Savior of the World,” which Rybolovlev’s lawyers say Bouvier bought from Sotheby’s for $83 million, only to resell to Rybolovlev a day later for over $127 million. In 2017, Rybolovlev sold it through Christie’s for a historic $450 million as it became the most expensive painting ever sold at auction.

By my rough calculations, for this piece:

$450M - $127M = $323M profit for plaintiff = shut the fuck up

Use a vpn and you’ll be fine, otherwise if someone savvy is in charge, they may have blocked torrent protocols, or may block your device if they notice. Ditto on Pon’s comments about possible usage caps. Or time caps before having to log in again. Either of which could be worked around if you’re able to spoof your device MAC address to connect again.

Oddly enough, our unregulated bullshit also affects pet owners. If you have a pet here with asthma, for example, most cannot use health insurance to pay for inhalers. Last time I tried to get one here out of pocket, it was anywhere from $400 to $600 for a single inhaler. I got a few from Canada for around $130 before finding a supplier for AUS/NZ that sells the same product for around $64. Then you realize that it’s not just pets without insurance, but also humans without insurance, and it makes you even more angry for people just trying to breathe. We need regulations in a bad way. Guess who keeps blocking it?

By “their leader”, I assume you mean Republicans in general. If they want lower prices for their citizens they should stop the bullshit blockade on regulating the pharmaceutical industry.
