Dumb TVs exist, and they’re 5x the price of smart TVs.

Ads and data mining subsidizes the hardware cost. If you want cheap TVs you get spyware and ads.

Routing takes place on layer 3 (ip) so destinations are ip networks and hosts.

Each packet you create has a destination IP. Your computer looks at your route table to see where it goes by matching the destination ip with each network. It will be sent to the most specific match first and your default gateway last.

If you’re default gateway is you’re vpn server via your vpn interface then you just need to add more specific route for destinations of interest through a different gateway (you’re router) via the physical interface

Raw disk access is a privilege in Linux, usually reserved for root.

You could have root change the permissions on the directory to allow another user or group write access.

goes to Google, on the raw network, and on the VPN.

You can’t “go” to a destination on two networks in a single request. It’s all packets on a wire, if it comes from two sources, it was two requests.

Unless you mean two different requests. As in while on the VPN everything is tunneled, and while not on the VPN it’s not, but this is the opposite of what the OP was asking for. He wants the VPN on for some use cases, and off for others. That’s split tunneling.

He’ll likely wind up with difficulties around trying to figure out which destinations he doesn’t want routed through the VPN, because there’s no way to do it by protocol, since routing happens on layer 3, not 4 or 7. He’ll likely need to know those address in advance.

Interesting. There’s no difference in my dialect.

One NIC is fine

Told my wife and kids they can run whatever they want if they don’t involve me. If you want me to help with computer issues then I’m installing Linux.

If you don’t want that, you better learn how to computer because you’re on your own

Canadian with a shitty mobile keyboard, that’s all.

Swipe keyboard. It picks random yours, and I’m exhausted from flying all day so I didn’t proof read.

Yes that’s called routing.

You don’t bind it to a NIC, you specify the destinations you want forwarded to each interface. Your VPN connection is just another interface.

If you’re looking for good docs, you may want to Google split tunnel vpn, and also bone up on your networking.

A few static routes should get you what you need

Pass uses GPG and git under the hood.

You create keys to encrypt your data, and keep the encrypted data in git locally which can be cloned to github, gitlab and the like.

It’s just files on your computer, so you can back them up that way, or use a thumb drive as a remote git repo and push to it.

Day to day Type pass and tab complete to find the entry. Enter the command and be prompted to unlock it. It will then print the credentials to the terminal.

To create a new password, you type and add command followed by a name and a text editor opens up for you to type credentials in, or it can generate them for you.

To keep your backup up to date you just git push to the remote of your choice. I use github

It very well could be these days. It could also be default settings that are better on Linux for certain activities. The network stack is highly tunable.

The majority of the Internet’s routing and switching architecture is BSD based. Historically it had the most stable and performant network stack of all the OSs.

I used it extensively at one job in a previous life when I was a network appliance developer. It was rock solid and lightning fast. Tried it as a desktop at home and had a terrible experience.

The little differences in the Unix commands used to drive me nuts as well…

This pod cast is about someone who went through something similar, and ended up prosecuting.

See how negatively it affected their lives and decide if involving the police is best for you. I hope you agree that it is.

You may be preventing future crimes by stopping the behaviour early, even though it can be socially awkward to navigate this with a friend.

As good as eating.

Most are like junk food Few are like fine dining And a few are like eating food you hate at a friend’s house but you’re trying to be polite.

Overall I’d recommend experiencing it, but if you don’t or can’t no biggy.

Those are rubber grommets. They’ll protect cables from wearing on metal that pass through the case.

Likely for things with hard wired controllers, like fan controllers or led lighting. You can hang the controller outside of the case in the back where nobody will see it.

I have a blue light filter on my glasses. I opted in because I sometimes use screens close to bed time for work.

I’m not going to tell you they work better then a placebo, but they work as good as one, and that’s all I need.

They are 100% yellow tinted. Anyone who tells you they don’t block blue light is a liar.

It’s a buzz word.

Web 1.0 is just websites. They envisioned everyone had their own web site to blog on. Geocities, ISP hosting, web rings, link aggregators, and simple human curated search engines. That kind of thing.

Web 2.0 basically meant APIs. You could stitch a weather API with a map API and make a weather map app. This kind of came true, but it wasn’t as free and open as people hoped for.

Web 3.0 is supposed the intersection of the web and distributed apps. Think games on the block chain like crypto kitties. It’s mostly been a flop since blockchain based decentralization is slow, expensive, and difficult for users. That being said there are successful use cases like online wallet management and distributed exchanges (defi).

-sS80 -sA80 was my goto for CTF boxes.

I would spend my time the same way. Honing my specialization to increase benefit to society. I love software development!
