Sure, I was trying to correct the statement that it’s not possible at all though.

You can still torrent with Mullvad, it’s just gonna be slower because you have less peers. But it’s still 100% doable. They don’t block torrenting entirely…

Question about this since I’ve never been asked - they asked for a photo copy of your diploma? I landed my tech job without them even checking or asking for my college diploma, let alone my high school diploma (both of which I would be willing, but it’s strange to me)

I think that was pretty obvious, no?

Oh my god, not you again. Give the slop a rest. Your last (now-deleted) post said you had “no marketing”, but here you are again.

It’s a structured low tech kit solution that uses Legos and hammers to hit them when the data tells it to with no guidance or tutorials which makes you money when you (a solo builder) are going broke.

What’s so hard to understand about that?

It’s clear that we don’t get guidance - you don’t even seem to know what your “platform” does.

“no marketing”, meanwhile you’ve created an account with your platform’s name? what would you call what you’re doing right now then? “Sharing” doesn’t count unless it’s open source and free, btw. So, it’s not that.

Try again, not using the word “kits”. Why would a “solo builder” need this (which you haven’t been able to coherently explain yet) when they could use real software to do so?

It’s my favorite feature of Kagi. I’ve blocked so many AI sites.

KPUD in Kitsap County, WA does something similar: https://www.kpud.org/fiber-internet/free-public-wi-fi/

They also have very affordable public fiber.

I left pop a couple of years ago after they delayed further major updates while they worked on Cosmic. It left a bad taste in my mouth, and shortly after that Plasma 6 was released (which of course caused me to not even care about Cosmic).

For my purposes, Bazzite is perfect, but I’ve heard that CachyOS and PikaOS are decent as well.

I also work in tech, and was what you’d call a low need customer.

The Xfinity service in my entire neighborhood would go down almost daily, and sometimes more than twice a day. On top of that, it would sometimes cut out just long enough to disconnect my remote shells, causing me to have to reauthenticate. It was horrible, my new (community) fiber is a huge improvement. I think it’s gone down once since having it installed almost two years ago.

My only attempt at an outdoor grow ended up being moldy. :(

It’s much easier for me to manage if it’s a file issue though. It’s much more difficult to manage an actual network 3000 miles away, especially if something actually goes wrong. Basically, “it won’t play” can be checked locally. If it doesn’t play locally, I’m happy to fix it. But I’m not about to troubleshoot her network issues for her.

Saying I’m “supporting a chunk of her network” is like saying Netflix supports a chunk of their users’ networks. It’s just not true.

slightly off topic but the first time I got “stuck” in a black hole on SpaceEngine was scary as fuck

Good question, I’m also in tech. She does drive and of course opens bank accounts, but it’s like it all goes out the window when she needs to do anything remotely technical. I would say that most of the users I’ve encountered are not that bad, but she is unique in that way.

You replied to someone and said “my wife has no problem using tailscale”. Is your wife not another person? Sure, same household, but if you’re not running a pirate TV service, why does she need tailscale, and how is that different than sharing with my MIL?

Also, why do you keep using the terminology of “pirate tv service”? Why is it suddenly not a home media server if I want my mother in law to be able to use it? I don’t share with people outside of my family.

You seem to think that because you’re using Jellyfin, it’s automatically not piracy. But you certainly can do piracy with it, it has tools purpose built for it like Jellyseerr. So how is that not a “pirate tv service”?

Do you not know that you can also upload your own media rips to Plex? Is that still a “pirate tv service”? At what point do you assign the (fairly negative, at least legally) connotation of piracy to a service someone is hosting out of their homelab?

Too hard, she can’t even open a PDF file on her own.

Then it’s not a drop in replacement for Plex, is it?
