  • I finally stopped dual booting Windows after I got the “You can’t log into this account due to repeated log in attempts or restarts, wait 2 hours” BS I ran into a few days ago. Sadly there is one game I can’t get working on Linux or a virtual machine, and one laptop feature that will not work until the maintainer of my device’s Linux drivers manages to get it working for my specific model, but being forced out of my own system and told I’m not allowed to access it for 2 hours is intolerable, and the fact its baked into the OS, and can’t be disabled, even more so.









  • I get a 206 address that matches my server’s public IP. My laptop is on the same network as the portfolio, but I did test external connections using a mobile hotspot, which resulted in me successfully connecting to the IP address with telnet, but not being able to connect to the domain name. On my phone’s browser, while on data, I was able to access my portfolio website using the public IP address as the URL, rather than the domain name.
