I started getting spam in German to an email address I gave to the town hall of my town. They use multiple domains to send it, but they all have the same link format that redirects to a fake AI-generated dating site. I've tried reporting some to the police, as well as the hosting providers, but haven't heard back at all. I'd like to delete the address, but it's the one town hall uses to reach me...

The amount of folks I see use Opera GX "gaming browser" because some influencer said so...

Darn. I recall reading good articles from some of these publications in the past. Shame...

This article reads like satire... it's sentence after sentence of "and I did it using one of the [best office chairs]" which is a link to some review by themselves. Every bit mentioned had an affiliate link and there wasn't an actual review of what the experience (software, setup, visual fidelity) is like??

What games keep you on Windows? Besides a few anticheat-enabled ones which choose not to support it, basically everything works fine. I game (and work in gamedev!) 100% on Linux.

I think this pinpointa what makes configuring Linux so much fun for me. It's one little problem/challenge after the next, it never prevents me from working but it does always give me something to work toward. Currenrly working on a notification display for my bar, and I hope it will be just as satisfying in the end as when I got my mouse to animate with movements or when I got my config to set my wallpapers correctly no matter the host.

Sooo how root-able are these? My family has had one unplugged for a couple years now, we tried to use it to reach less-techy family but the French localization was abysmal, so it's stayed in the drawer of shame since. Seems like a good time to take it out and mess with it!

It's an ordinary consumer wifi 4 router (by a company named Renkforce). I was able to use WDS with it previously, but I haven't got it working since flashing openwrt, which is why I was trying relayd. A hotspot from my phone works (but is really slow obviously). I suspect something is wrong with my interface or firewall setup, given the colors of the interfaces.

I've tried to match your setup, but to no avail.

Interfaces:

lan

Static address (192.168.2.1) Firewall zone: lan

wwan

Static address (192.168.0.211) Device: phy0-sta0 (listed as the client in the dropdown) Gateway: 192.168.0.1 Use custom DNS servers: 1.1.1.1 (using root router's IP causes DNS to stop working) Firewall zone: WLAN

repeater_bridge

Relay bridge Relay between: lan wwan Firewall zone: unspecified

Firewall zones: lan ⇒ WLAN accept accept accept WLAN ⇒ lan accept accept accept

With this, I am able to ping google.com from a openwrt ssh session, but not my laptop connected w/ ethernet (and a static ip). In the interfaces list, lan is green, repeater_bridge is grey, and wwan is red. I tried running /etc/init.d/firewall stop but still no luck.

When I follow this guide and get to the part where DNS server of wwan to the root router's IP, I am not able to ping anything from a ssh session into the router (I get "bad address 'google.com'". So, I set the DNS address to 1.1.1.1 which restored ping's functionality. However, with this configuration the network does not appear to be shared at all. My PC, connected to the LAN port, cannot access the internet (regardless of forcing a static IP for the pc)

You can't self-host Ghost? I'd like to stay on the same domain indeed, not wanting to also mess up folks subscribed to RSS.

I just moved into a student dorm for a semester abroad, and beforehand I emailed them asking whether they had ethernet ports to plug my router into (I use it to connect all my devices, and for WiVRn VR streaming). They confirmed that I could, but now that I'm here the wifi login portal is asking me to accept these terms from the ISP, which forbid plugging in a router. There's another clause that forbids "Disruptive Devices" entirely, defined as:

“Disruptive Device” means any device that prevents or interferes with our provision of the 4Wireless to other customers (such as a wireless access point such as wireless routers) or any other device used by you in breach of the Acceptable Use Policy;

So what are my options? I don't think I can use this service without accepting the terms, but also I was told by the student dorm support that I could bring a router, which contradicts this.

EDIT: some additional context:

  • dorm provider is a company separate from my uni (they have an agreement but that's it)
  • ISP (ask4) is totally separate from dorm provider, and have installed a mesh network that requires an account. On account creation, there are many upsells including one for connecting more than one device. The "free" plan only allows me to sign in on a single device, and I can upgrade to two devices for 15 pounds.
  • ethernet requires login too
  • VR streaming requires a high performance wifi 6 network, which is why I bought this router (Archer C6 from tp-link)

I've been looking around for a good GitHub client on my degoogled phone, but have had trouble finding a still-maintained one that's ready to use. I find that I just default to opening URLs in Fennec, which is far from ideal as I have to load the whole website (and it's quite laggy on my Pixel 3a). So I turn to Lemmy: what GitHub client do you use?

Specifically, I'm looking to browse GitHub repos (view code, issues, forks, PRs) and use it (reply to and create issues mainly).

 

Hi! I've installed Stremio on the ISP-provided AndroidTV "decoder" and it allows my family to watch shows while still having access to live TV. However, I am not aware of any option to watch live sports ("Ligue 1" in France) with as good an interface as Stremio, so my father has to watch it on his computer by finding a site that's streaming it and has the least invasive adblock-bypassing ads.

I wanted to know whether something like Stremio exists that I can set a Linux server to boot directly into and control with a remote (so we no longer depend on the ISP-provided box) and would allow watching the free live TV provided by our ISP, as well as something similar to Stremio's interface for pirating shows/movies, and also has sports streaming. I know torrent streaming doesn't help the ecosystem much, but I'm not sure where else to look. I installed Kodi and played around with it, but I couldn't get Elementum to work (and it looks much more complicated for my family to use than Stremio). Thanks in advance!
