Normally when you’re on a VPN all the network traffic to and from your device is going through the connection to the VPN server, e.g. browsing the internet, online games, etc. It can cause issues with other online services and uses bandwidth (cheap as it is) many VPS provider charges for.

A split tunnel tells the VPN client to only send certain traffic through the tunnel. My wireguard setup assigns IP addresses for the VPN interfaces in the subnet 192.168.2.x, so only traffic addressed to IPs on that subnet get sent through the tunnel. In wireguard it’s a single line in the config file:

AllowedIPs = 192.168.2.0/24

I’m in the same situation.

Fortunately there’s a million companies that offer VPS with a static IP address for only few bucks a month. I set one up to run a wireguard VPN server which all my devices and home servers connect to as clients. I also configured everything to use a split tunnel to save bandwidth.

It’s an added layer of security too.

You mean like the “multi-million units sold” Linux based Steam Deck?

Base on what I’ve read about this kid: I probably wouldn’t like him as a person. I probably wouldn’t agree with a lot of the things he believes, and I’d probably vehemently oppose a lot of it. I don’t think he’s a genius – in fact I think he’s probably a similar to the edgy, dumb kid I was at that age.

Sometimes “good” people do bad things, and sometimes “bad” people do good things: real people aren’t one dimensional caricatures.

“I have nothing to hide, I just question your judgement and motives.”

In a world entirely populated by empathetic, decent, and sane people we wouldn’t need much privacy. Unfortunately that’s not the world we live in. There are countless unstable, stupid, and evil people in the world – some of them are in positions of power or might achieve power in the future. They are absolutely the sort to weaponize “harmless” information against you.

Do you want those people to know your sexual preferences, political leanings, etc?

I can’t tell if you picked up on their sarcasm or not.

Well, good news. Anthem BCBS rolled back those plans (at least temporarily) after “backlash”.

Stay mad and loud, folks – it’s the only thing they fear.

My city hired an outside company to process workers comp claims. By state law certain illnesses are presumed to be job related and the city must cover treatment costs.

The fuckers they hired have been denying claims of coworkers covered by said law. Said fuckers will hire high dollar lawyers to fight the inevitable lawsuit to avoid paying out for claims. This is something I’ve witness several coworkers go through.

Look at the Civil Rights and Labor movements – American’s in the past have waged war on their oppressors.

Weirdly enough those parts of history get glossed over in school.

It looks like an off-the-shelf commercial handgun. You don’t need anything special to shoot subsonic rounds, though depending on the gun and ammo they can lead to malfunctions like stovepipe.

I’ve shot .22 CB long out of a semi-auto rifle without issues aside from having to manually cycle the bolt after each shot.

Scissors work because the blades are tight against each other – there’s no gap between them when they’re cutting. When they “go sideways” it’s usually because the hinge is loose.

If they’re good quality scissors, you probably need to tighten the screw holding the blades together.

“Different world views” isn’t a problem, the problem is users espousing repugnent “world views” and being assholes.

Pretending like we have to put up with other users’ repulsive, insane “ideas” and bullying behavior in our spaces is laughable. Bigots, fascists, and actual tankies can fuck off.

A hexbear user “called me out” in chapotraphouse for “transphobia” for a comment I made pointing out how insane it is that the hexbear team was calling the admin/mods of blahaj.zone “transphobic” – the admin and most of the mod team are actual trans people.

So I replied to the callout by saying I’m a landlord (I’m not) and asking how much I should charge for rent as a “card carrying leftist.” Replied to a few responses about how I’m a one of the good landlords and providing an essential service at a reasonable price.

My idea was to bait the worst offenders, and it worked. I waited for the replies to roll in, then blocked every single user that commented on that post. Anyone that DMed me about it got blocked too. A couple weeks later I blocked the hexbear and lemmygrad instances in my user settings.

It worked great and I haven’t had many issues since.

Hexbear mods tolerate (and sometimes encourage) the worst behaviors of their user base, which is why instances defederate from hexbear.

When those users join other instances one of two things happens:

• the mod team does their job, forcing those users to tone down their behavior or get banned.
• the instances goes to shit and other instances defederate from them.

As long as you stick to a decent instance it’s eventually a self correcting problem. You can also block instances yourself in your account settings on lemmy.

Any major power could easily assasinate the leadership of any other major power, but doing so is taboo for obvious reasons.The nuclear taboo is higher on the list of “things that are not done.”

Opening the door to actually using nuclear weapons represents a threat to everyone – including the rich and powerful. Whoever is dumb enough to use even a tactical nuke is going to not only find themselves a pariah, they’re going to face coordinated efforts to eliminate the threat they represent by everyone.

Imagine being in his inner circle: you’d be getting credible offers of “whatever you need and want” to remove Putin from power from every major power on the planet.

There’s plenty of really nice nursing homes in the USA … they’re just charge thousands of dollars a month and kick you out if you can’t pay.

That’s what I’m running, though I had issues with it randomly requiring a reset. Installing OpenWrt fixed that problem.

“Guys, don’t even try to fight back. Please just give up.”

narcissists into his cabinet

The great thing about narcissists is they’re narcissists: they only care about themselves, they’re thin skinned, and they’re vindictive.

There is no chance in hell this admin is going to be efficient. One of the things that stands to save the USA is the inevitable infighting of Trump’s cabinet and party.
