Strange, I’m getting pages and pages of links about third party clients barfing

Maybe it’s that “cleaner Google” url hack (udm=14) that’s reallllly cleaning it up for ye?

Plenty of others can confirm

It’s been going on for months, especially VPN users.

You’ll never need to log into Youtube again

Well, I’ve used Newpipe for the longest time but depending on your internet connection / CGNAT’ed or, even using a VPN means it won’t work unless you do sign in :/

I’ve got to be honest, FACT might keep on yammering that they’re nailing these “IP” pirates in the UK but all the dodgy firestick sellers I’ve ever met, all the guys who have pirated since god knows how long I’ve never ever once heard of someone getting done over here in Britbongland?

Worst I’ve had is two emails to one of the 10 email addresses BlueYonder supplied us with (yes, I’ve had my BY/Telewest that long…) telling me I’m naughty for torrenting two episodes of Animal Kingdom back in 2016/7. And, because they use a Gmail backend for their email stack I didn’t even get notified and only noticed them because I got bored, printed them out, and rolled them around my toilet paper roll for shits and giggles.

Seriously, is there anyone around here from this same land and heard of anyone getting “done”?

remotely is a challenge for me right now

I’ve seen you mention this a few times and like mentioned elsewhere in here, set yourself a Tailnet up.

It’s fugging brilliant, the docs are wrote by some very clever people (note, I am best described as a copy / pasta person?) and are through, and you can use a github or even a Google account for authentication.

Even grabbing a cheapo raspberry pi4 gives you a 1GB port (the rpi3 only has a 100Mbps rj-45 port and would still suffice for lesser needs) for your own VPN Wireguard to home, that is P2P encrypted and can be used as an Exit Node / subnet router

ie: if you’re on someone else’s internet/cellular you can simply hit up your exit node to break out of any nanny filters, stop anyone else noseying at your traffic (obv bar your ISP seeing outgoing requests unless you have a another…VPN on your router), and also view and/or manage any devices on your home network/Tailnet by IP address.

Hell, I dumped a rpi down at a family members house that is part of the “stack” so I can help out remotely but it seems someone has knocked the aerial out of the HAT again :/

Best thing ever.

Separated by a newline

You brilliant person got it in one! Love you 😘

Now I haven’t tested which of the line separated ones blocked it, but the wildcard *.lnk didn’t work when they were comma separated but do when line separated. have tested, and these are the most common so far I’ve seen

*.lnk

*.scr

*.arj

*.zipx

*.exe

*.cmd

*.msi

*.bat

*.scf

Again, 👌

The French are very defendant when it comes to VLC or other open sauce apps. I’d usually bring the Willy joke out but I’m with them on this one.

Very true.

I generally just use my ceramic bladed hair cutter on 0 when I’m not required to have a clean, clean shave, and then like I say above just use a BIC when I need a baby’s bum face for work etc.

The twin / triple blades I find can be off-putting to some since if you have too much growth they latch on and snag.

Yeah, we’ve got something I recall being called the P-laws or something brought in, meaning all new sockets need to be a certain height above floor level.

I’ve seen many rented houses here that still have them on the floor since older builds ain’t required to rectify them. Scary if you see all the recent flooding we’ve been having in some parts of the country :/

But those three pin / fused BS 1363 whilst been one of the safest sockets you can get, I can confirm they’re an absolute bastard if you stand on one.

Personally, I never learned how to use a razor

🤔

Alright. Ima be ur daddy and tell you have to shave in 3 minutes flat.

• Acquire some BIC single blade razors

• Head to shower, put it on steaming hot and apply steaming hot water to face. Getting a hot towel after getting out of the shower and leaving it on your face for a while makes a tough shave even moar comfortable.

• Lather shaving foam all over face

• Run BIC razor under cold running water and shave until your face is like a baby’s bum

• Rinse thoroughly with cold water to remove all lather

As a Britbong, I’m always proud of not only BS1363 and the safety it has brung us over the years but the fact that I know that number off the top of my head.

I usually have a goldfish memory for things like that.

Nah.

USB is slow, and will kill the drive if used 24/7. I know it’s hard to expend too much money on a dedicated box for storage but long term you’ll thank yourself for investing.

3TB of data I lost and paying to recover that data? Dammit, hindsight is a bitch

Says on the product page that that Beelink supports a maximum 2TB SSD, so I wouldn’t go buying another unless you’re sure it can.

As others have said, no USB drives as I’ve had a failure with one too hence me now having a NAS. I know you said you’re allergic to spending money but saving up for one was the best thing I’ve bought for a while.
