Fuck AI.

I’m aware what a vps is. I’ve rented vps servers to run custom VPN servers to port forward through before. I’d just rather not have to host something myself to get a second IP that isn’t associated with me, and can be port forwarded through.

Especially if I can get it for dirt fuckin’ cheap.

I have an entire as rack at home and a 1gigabit connection.

Why waste money with renting more storage and time by moving the data again?

I’m not looking for a seedbox because all I need is an IP that isn’t associated with me.

I have storage and speed, I just want an IP that isn’t mine, and I don’t want to have to maintain another box to do it.

Eventually I’ll rent out a vps and setup wireguard…

Pay for hosting with XMR and stop fucking re-using usernames.

Releasing software anonymously/pseudonymously isn’t that difficult…

I don’t leech entirely but it takes forever to get ratios cuz I can’t port forward through my VPN.

Any good options other than renting out a dedicated VPS and setting that up as a VPN server?

Doesn’t seem like there where any great replacements for XFCE’s screensaver without potentially breaking things.

Debian isn’t the only stable distro, it and distros like it fill an inarguably societally important role at this point. Its reasonable to not push patches unrelated to bigfixes and security to a stable distro.

Its also reasonable to expect a developer to figure out a way to send canned responses to bug reports, and also require a version number with bug reports, throwing out any with missing or outdated versions. You know, because there are going to be people with outdated computers no matter what their distro does. Who knows, maybe I’m crazy.

True, its just more work and not going to be used for dragnet surveillance.

Once proton gitsgud at vr games, I’ll basically have no reason to have a win 10 ltsc VM anymore.

Pretty hyped XP

I mean, what serious political action did the US have between the civil rights movement and occupy wall street?

My fault for not being more clear, I blame my countries national main character syndrome for that. Especially since it just hit me OP is technically from a Canadian instance, though I’m not sure the lived experience up there was THAT different.

Once again Gen X is doing all the heavy cultural lifting.

Okay, I really don’t buy into the generations bullshit, but I think something needs to be said here:

Its apt gen X was the generation to invent the term poser because it applies so well. Say what you will about everything boomers did after they hit 30, they did some important shit when they where young. You don’t get a Kent State without pissing the right people off.

The MTV generation’s symbol of youthful rebellion was a cable TV channel owned and operated by Viacom with the express purpose of selling music which was pre-packaged by one of three major record labels.

It was a way for boomers to sell them fake rebellion because they remembered how bad for profit the real stuff from their youth was.

I mean, what serious political action did the US have between the civil rights movement and occupy wall street? The early 00’s anti-war movement? Arguably attributable to early millenials since those where their college years.

Gen Xers like to say they where “working in the shadows, doing their own thing”, which is code for sitting around, letting billionaires do what they want, and doing nothing about it since everything still kinda worked out alright for them up until now.

Why on gods green earth should I have to face the wraith of something I had nothing to fucking do with? I didn’t vote these people in, I’ve not even had the right to vote for a decade yet.

I’m barely any more part of this than any other poor sucker in any other fucking western country.

I already practically spend all day at work, doing basically nothing, getting baked in my car in the name of slowing fascism.

I do any less they’ll replace me with a stooge that does harder work for less dough, and then I couldn’t pay for rent, estrodiol, food, or weed.

I’d love a general strike. Good luck in this individualist shithole.

How? Its not like we got here because the people okay with this are capable of being reasoned with and we refused to.

We’ve literally been trying to get people to wake the fuck up and smell the fascism for over a decade at this point.

I think that last part hits it hardest. Especially when you consider most of the 360’s sales where US.

I’m actually shocked how low 360/ps3 are.

I felt like everyone I know has at least owned one, and they where more consoles where actually used as Netflix boxes back then out of necessity due to lack of good smart TVs or set top boxes.

Plus they had an extra 5 years of being around, not to count the fact most early adopters bought another twice, especially with the 360 due to RROD.

They should’ve worked to use xmpp or matrix as their replacement for SMS, but they chose an alternative that let’s corpos run servers and not anyone else.

Fucking garbage technology.

On one hand not using it to limit the death penalty to billionaires and powerful politicians, to end the war on drugs, to bring ubi and universal healthcare is a loss. To give that up seems immoral.

Also to take the power seems immoral.

Not sure there’s a good answer for a good person here.

“I don’t get it’s its always wild to me to see HOAs being run by the shittiest of people in your country and apparently they can do whatever they want.”

I envy your naivitivity and competence in government. That’s literally just how all leadership works here. I’m so fucking tired dawg.

Unironically yes, new families affording homes is more important than a return on investment for people who are privileged enough to own them.

Housing as an investment is fucked, and nobody but the individuals living their should own a home.
