Also, it allowed for people to host CP content which was a pretty bad look for Mullvad.

Yeah, Ethernet connectivity is a common issue in Linux. This is why it’s almost never used in servers. It’s definitely not something you are doing wrong.

Nothing but a lot of people who don’t know what they’re doing use them instead of routers or gateways. This gives their devices direct access to the internet which is a major security issue but it also means that they end up using all IP adresses that their ISP will provide. All new devices that try to connect will fail to get a new address. Then they go online and ask why their internet connection is shit.

I always get bad vibes when beginners talk about internet connectivity issues and are using a switch. You do have a router too, right?

Hey, sorry I didn’t reply until now but life has been pretty hectic and I also kinda borked my streaming VM right at the same time as I wrote that. I ran Nobara Linux for a while with KDE on Xorg and it actually worked pretty well. Then I decided I wanted to give Bazzite a try but I didn’t like the whole immutable thing. I went back to Nobara just to find that Steam Remote Play straight up didn’t work and I couldn’t know if I had failed to set up something properly or Valve just broke it while I was “away”. A couple of days ago I decided to just abandon Remote Play for the time being and deployed Games on Whales and it seems very promising so far. Much easier than fiddling with VM:s and GPU passthrough and Sunshine/Moonlight has never failed me.

I run a gaming Linux VM on my server and it works fine.

Odd jobs, here and there.

No, “western” media reports that Putin got more than 80% of the votes in an election that was obviously rigged. Holding democratic elections is anything but simple and in a country fighting an invasion it’s practically impossible.

1. The Russian election was a joke and you know it.
2. Russia is currently not being invaded so there is no reason to cancel elections there.
3. Canceling elections does generally not align with “western” democratic values.

Future-proofing with ext4? Come on.

Bitwarden and Vaultwarden

I don’t know about Mac OS but Bitwarden syncs just fine to my Android and Linux devices from my server.

My news sources very rarely review other news sources. When it comes to stuff that concerns larger issues in society, I often think that foreign news give some healthy new angles so I really don’t think that domestic news are generally better at anything. I wouldn’t really call Sweden an enemy of the US but our proximity to the actual enemy make us pretty uncomfortable with the Republican party’s bullshit right now.

Many countries outside of the US have their own media and news sources, believe it or not.

No, I absolute would never consume your news.

Sorry I sounded condescending. USA just seems like such a shithole country right now and my guess is that it’s only going to get worse.

What is radically left in the US? Supporting free healthcare?

Firewallcmd’s runtime-to-permanent is one of my favorite features of any software. Set everything up, make sure everything works before making the changes permanent. If not, just reboot!

I’ve done this for years and it works great.
