Oh maybe just a small country with little influence in the world called the United States of America. Go ahead an try to tell me there’s no fascism here

I rolled back the app to an older version before this was required and blocked it from network or updating. The only feature I use is the gps data over bluetooth and remote shutter. Canon can go F*** themselves with this nonsense

Exactly that. State into the void and let my thoughts wonder

It doesnt look real but Quokka’s exist. They live exclusively on a small island off the coast of Perth. Rottnest island. It’s Dutch and it translates to the rat’s nest.

People who micromanage, either directed at me or someone else

That’s a huntsman. Not dangerous to you

I’ve used AirVPN for this exact setup and it works great. The port forwarding is static and doesn’t change once setup. I switched to proton because it was convenient, I was already paying for ProtonMail et all, so I dropped the extra VPN subscription when it renewed.

Cream cheese and black olives 👌oh so good

I got a message from Nicole too, would like to know where it came from

As others have pointed out, just get a VPN and run your torrents through that. I’ve used AirVPN and ProtonVPN. Both are P2P friendly and even offer inbound port forwarding. It would be easier to setup and likely cheaper too. Proton is incorporated in Switzerland and has servers all over the world.

I worked in a scuba dive shop for a few months. My first day I was told to come in for orientation. I showed up and the manager was very suprised to see me there. He didn’t know I was coming because nobody told him. I thought “okay mistakes happen” then he handed me an employee handbook and told me to sit in the back and start reading.

An hour later he comes back in and asks if I had any questions about it. I said no, then we setup an app for timekeeping and I went back home.

I had my first shift a few weeks later. I had 0 retail experience and they just said go help that customer. I had no training at this point. After making a fool of myself i was mocked and asked to put some stock away instead.

After a week of that nonsense, I was moved into their smaller shop that I was to work by myself. I got 1/2 a day of “training”, zero direction on what to do in my down time and was told that the owner liked to watch the camera and if I was caught doing nothing, I would be fired.

This smaller shop had a “manager” that was never around, about 5 customers a day asking where the toilet was, and not much else to do. I wanted to quit simply because of the boredom but it got worse after I started working on their dive charter boat 2 days a week.

I a piece of equipment was found to be broken or not put away properly it was automatically my fault. We had to refill all of the dive air tanks after each trip, about 50 of them. It took a long time and I would get talked to if it took too long, or if the tanks weren’t filled correctly. You can only do one of those things safely.

Then one day my timekeeping app sends me an SMS that one of my shifts was deleted, so I went and had the day off. I came in the next day to them asking where I was. They actually changed the shift without asking me, the app said it was deleted and again that was my fault.

In summary they never trusted their staff to do anything right, and blamed us when something went wrong, even when it was out of our control like a faulty pressure gauge, or customers breaking rental equipment. I quit shortly after someone almost lost their foot on the boat from a falling tank. It’s likely only a matter of time before they have a bigger accident and I don’t want to be anywhere near that place when it happens.

I live in a national park and the Govt just awarded a contract to a private company to build a fiber line to the villages for high speed internet, and the company building the thing will own the network while the govt is stuck paying the bill forever. So stupid imho. No private company should own a network that exists entirely on federal land, and everyone depends on .

I use a mokapot, but I also run fedora on my laptop. What does that make me?

AirVPN still has port forwarding. They are run by a non profit activist group and you can use it without their app. Works with openvpn and wireguard natively.

To be fair, the calculator on my phone has a built in currency converter and would need network access to get the exchange rates

Where in the world do these things live? I’ve never seen anything like it before, and we have some pretty crazy things you can find in a house here in Aus

Hardware virtualization is often disabled in the bios by default and probably just needs to be enabled. Called something like AMD-VT or INTEL-Vd

Cars=freedom

There’s a reason why in the game you could never put a portal on a moving surface

I switched to Nebula its affordable and has lots of interesting content from YouTubers I most often watched. Their business is sustainable, pays the creators fairly and has no ads or recommendation algorithm.

I’ve also tried out Odyssey and had the same issues with it. There was one or two channels I would actually watch, but I think the crypto stuff attracts a certain libertarian type. I don’t think it’s sustainable long term.
