Sorry for the delay, just saw this.

So the “pvpnsomthingsomething” is most likely the name of the server you’re connecting to, but if you’re not using the paid tier for Proton it won’t let you select servers that support peer to peer traffic. Sounds like that might be your issue if you’re still getting stalled with that network connection selected.

Also, the killswitch and the ipv6 “networks” that it creates are just there to enforce the killswitch (ie. create a fallback dead-end network device if the VPN goes down) and to catch and dead-end any ipv6 traffic that might be leaking.

Exactly, it will now only be able to access the Internet via that interface even if proton is running but not actually connected.

Even Endeavour comes with Discover installed, and stuff like Octopi exists and is pretty bug free these days.

If you’ve never had to dig into a registry file or obscure hidden folder path in Windows, you aren’t enough of a power user to ever have to in a Linux distro either.

Don’t be too optimistic, you probably haven’t seen it because it’s not being rolled out universally just yet; they like to A/B test their massive feature changes.

I always say, the moment cop cars start adding roof racks and bike mounts we’re all getting pulled over lol

Endeavour is a great example for gui only users for sure.

It was honestly the one thing I still have never found a feature parity Linux alt for after years; it will always bug me no matter what other “it’s basically the same” suggested player I use instead.

That said, currently I’m making do with Quodlibet, and I have no major complaints. But nothing is an exact replica enough for me not to constantly compare it to Wimamp & complain.

Not a serious suggestion, but I can confirm that WACUP does at least have no noticeable issues using WINE

The world is a dangerous place though; there’s all these armed psychos driving around, shooting and beating people!

Sure, sometimes they arrest someone who deserves it, but that doesn’t make me exactly feel safe knowing they’re out there…

Take the dresser outside first, and block the door from the outside instead.

That whole timeline is insane, and the fact that anyone even found this in the totally coincidental way they did is very lucky for the rest of us.

How do they unload that? Do they kind of just tilt it into the water, or is there a giant crane freighter ship waiting at its destination?

Duly noted, thanks.

Interesting stance.

So, not to throw around too many hypotheticals, but it sounds like by your logic you also would have been opposed to our participation in World War II as well?

I’m just trying to parse your train of thought here.

They must fight their own battle…

To what end? Is this stance worth losing a free nation to Russia if only supporting via arms isn’t enough anymore?

I’m honestly curious why you feel this way.

For me, generally, I don’t really enjoy the idea of sending our military into places like the Middle East; at best we’re teetering on the line of actually being the aggressors in those conflicts, and at worst actually are just clearly at fault. But I kind of think, for once, the issue at hand in Ukraine is pretty cut and dry at this point. If push came to shove and they really desperately needed support from allies, I can’t think of a more righteous use of our military than to defend Ukraine.

Gotta start double-knotting those laces.

Insane take.

You’re talking about outlawing the equivalent of a lock picking set. This tool is used by legitimate security researchers and professional penetration testers all the time. Making this type of hardware less accessible only hurts.

I made a concerted effort one evening to go into my downloads folder on my PC, rename all the nameless garbage filenames, and then actually move and sort them into my pictures/documents/etc folders.

Was a huge pain in the ass, but it saved me so much effort looking for stuff later on down the line. Also, changing Firefox’s default download setting to prompt me for a name and location every time certainly helped.

Isn’t pink generally the same phenomenon? Something about it being the “absence of green light” rather than its own distinct spot on the visible spectrum.
