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…

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?

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.

Yeah I’m not shocked the major car company with the least amount of experience in mechanical engineering had that issue.

Give that to a team of 90’s Honda engineers and they’d have it done by lunch with a price tag a 1/3rd of the Tesla mechanism.

Is it really that hard to make one of those recessed handles with a mechanical linkage instead of an electric one?

Seems like the real issue is the electric door latch itself, not the style of handle.

This depends how far away where they want is. I feel like down the block is impractical for a heli.

Interesting times (positive) vs interesting times (nightmare)

They’re still making mobos with SATA. Not everyone uses laptops.

Most reasonably priced power edges on eBay don’t have NVMe sleds yet. Some of us selfhost, y’know…

I would like to know how well iocaines spanky new redirection module works compared to Anubis.

If nothing else, to see if throwing Anubis in front of iocaine is still a worthwhile idea.

My bad, Neuromancer.

Didn’t know it was getting adapted into a series.

Arguably this isn’t too far off of neuromancer either.

Its funny because a sizable chunk of the fediverse has a server/network rack in their home. Myself included.

Granted its not running any modern ‘ai’ like stable diffusion or LLM’s.

Every major tech company has a stake in chromium. Google could die tomorrow, and someone would bankroll it for their own selfish use.

You thing Microsoft, Apple, or Amazon wouldn’t jump at basically owning the development of the worlds most popular web browser?

Get a CRT, or buy a new TV and just don’t connect it to the internet.

The difference between a disconnected smart TV and a dumb one is basically zilch.

If you’re getting anything which has a native res higher than 480p, I’d recommend looking into up-scalers like the ossc or some of the offerings from Retrotink. Even modern TV’s have shit up-scalers.

Also make sure you’re using Scart/RGB or Component where possible. Composite, or even worse RF, looks like cookie in most places.

Even if you have to settle for S-Video through a koryuu, it will look better than composite for something like the N64 where RGB or component are unavailable for un-modded consoles.

Mission failed successfully: I’m bringing my enby instead and you can’t stop me.

Jokes on her, I’ve transitioned since last Christmas.

The problem with having both is that the electronic one is always the primary one, and the one people will use daily.

Yeah that’s the design flaw. Thats literally what im saying they shouldn’t do. You can make a mechanical-first door with an internal solenoid thats capable of popping the door.

The main and only handles on all the doors should be mechanical only, with door popper buttons for all four doors on the driver-side arm rest (where window controls go)

What purpose do electric door handles serve? Other than being more prone to failure, more expensive, and dangerous?

Electric door poppers ARE NOT the same thing as electric door handles, pick a thing to complain about.

POPPERS (IE:solenoids) allow the driver to open doors for passengers, while also ensuring the main way in and out is NOT dependent on electronics (when properly implemented).

Unnecessary luxury? Sure, but so are cars in a lot of the world. Solenoids are cheap, and the idea is not inherently a danger when done right.

Your issue isn’t electronically controlled door poppers. Its cars being made by silicon valley, y-combinator sucking, tech-bro douchebags who thought replacing the mechanical handle with a button was a good idea.

I think having an electric popper on top of an mechanical door latch (actual door handles are standard mechanic, but there’s solenoid that can actuate them independently) is okay if you can find an actual usecase.

I mean sure still stupid but at least it isn’t dangerous.

Same way electric locks have worked for the past 30 years on cars.

An old civic might be able to unlock from a key fob, but that’s only an electronically controlled solenoid controlling a lock which is mechanical in nature, and who’s main user-accessible interaction point is mechanically linked to the lock.
