ltsc iot is on my gaming pc that I spin up once biweekly. Got the os from massgrave and most of the games from fitgirl.

If it’s a competition of getting work done, Linux is clearly superior. Windows has always just gotten in my way when I’m trying to do something with the OS.

There’s no denying though that you gotta use the right tool for the job. I ain’t forkin my time over to get Linux to work with triple-A pirated games and all that VM and wine shit. I’m just going to install ltsc and forget about it. Just as how I’m not wasting my time on Windows to install software packages, libraries, or whatever the fuck Subsystem is.

Couldn’t end up getting this to work for Discord (everything else works). Turns out, my IPv4 traffic leaving through wlp3s0 has a MTU of 1460. And I measured a MTU of 1407 for traffic going through the AirVPN tun (implying 53 bytes of overhead, or 25 bytes of OpenVPN overhead). I ended up just saying the VPN overhead was 40 bytes. Here’s my napkin math:

1460 <- ISP MTU
- 28 cost of IP/UDP <- ISP MSS
- 40 cost of OpenVPN <- AirVPN MTU
1392
- 28 cost of IP/UDP <- AirVPN MSS
1364
- 40 cost of 2nd OpenVPN <- Home VPN MTU
1339
- 40 cost of IP/TCP
1299 <- Home VPN MSS

For Home and AirVPN I set those in the configs (tun-mtu and mssfix), then mirrored it on the client.

I assumed there was some overhead so I made the second VPN mtu much lower.

It seems like I woke it up from a decade-long hibernation and is unable to boot. However, the disk reads fine in an enclosure.

Publisher matters. Some random website advertising a disk cleaning utility could be malware while a Fitgirl repack most definitely isn’t. Installing something from an official Ubuntu software repository is also pretty safe, while something from a 3rd party repository or community development library could be malware. I also generally trust PDFs from Anna’s Archive and Libgen or Internet Archive, because of the reputation loss to them if it were. You can minimize your risk to a tolerable level this way.

I’ve got news for you, that’s slime not mint.

Mac OS X was installed in 2010/2011. Back when people didn’t hate Apple.

My dad did in 2011. Wikipedia says this is a popular model to Hackintosh.

Can you set the interface in qbit to tun?

I watched some old Minecraft let’s play a while back and I think it’s gone forever now. Really wish I had somehow downloaded a copy before it just bleeped out.

I call them after what service is running on it. E.g. openvpn.

AirVPN is great. I got it during the Halloween / Cyber Monday sale. 3 years for $70

OK. I think I get it. So people enable uPnP on their routers and then open Minecraft’s port using uTorrent (or any other program that opens a port with uPnP). And they do all of that instead of just logging into their NAT routers. Honestly, sounds like something I would do before I knew networking concepts, though if it were explained to me it would be a million times more confusing than just learning how to configure NAT.

Can you explain this? I have so many questions.

This is hilarious because I can attest to this. I took a class where we were partially graded on security - part of that was proper SQL parameterization. Half of my team couldn’t / wouldn’t be bothered to do so. It was just impossibly hard to get them to do so, almost as if I was asking them to do 10 pushups for every line of code.
