Lol well soulseek if anything, but I can’t get them to disable wifi, and you think I can get them to download nic+, configure port forwarding, etc? Fat chance lol.

Oh lame, I was indeed thinking of magic wormhole. Thanks for the heads up!

Well you should download the GNU Image Manipulation Program instead.

Also normally in the US for the same reason haha. I don’t have IVPN though so I can’t say for that one. That was on one of the Salt Lake Mullvad servers.

It’s blocked by all of Australia, Comcast and other US companies, and more, apparently.

Yeah.

Imgur, OTOH, hates VPNs. You can get to þe main website, but þeir image server will not serve up images to any Mullvad or ivpn exit node.

Nah

Not that I’d use imgur anyway, I prefer catbox. Imgur is blocked in the UK too though iirc.

Also with a VPN it wouldn’t matter if your ISP did block catbox, you’d still see it with your VPN unless maybe their ISP blocks it.

No problem, I have GIMP installed.

Under connectivity issues:

Oh shit is that a web/link based implementation of Wormhole? Nice! I would have just used regular wormhole if I could have, didn’t know this existed, that’s perfect, thanks!

It’s blocked by all of Australia, Comcast and other US companies, and more, apparently. Found another site through litterbox’s faq (“Are you based on uguu.se?” section). That worked, but then the video seems unplayable from an iPhone even though it’s just an HVEC H.265 MP4 so idfk, I found what I asked for but gave up one step later lol.

For anyone else with my same OG question however: uguu.se, files last 3 hours. Seems to work in so far as “not blocked,” even if the video in my case is unplayable on an iPhone.

Not for me, it seems consistent. Maybe there’s a country I can VPN into that has no age restrictions or something though, I’m hoping.

This one is good, but one issue (and I hope someone has a fix for me please I’ll love you forever):

Dude honestly I cannot recommend this enough, and to all who are in a similar position:

While you still have your main system as a fallback, get a used cheap laptop with ~8gb ram just to fuck around and try linux, install [your distro] FedoraKDE, and play around.

If a relative or friend is upgrading and gonna trash their current because the HW is choked by windows, ask to buy it for a reasonable price, cheap to you because old trash HW anyway, but a couple bucks to help them with their new purchase, win win. That HW that will no longer run windows will run linux just fine, and then you can main the laptop for a bit while you learn but still can boot into your old system to troubleshoot and also don’t have to fuck with dual booting and windows fucking with your linux or boot partitions.

Default country for the internet lol, US.

(I’m guessing)

I don’t think “the south” means “below the equator” here, I think it means below the Mason-Dixon.

Shit I’m gonna need one of those Heist cards, Fuji x-t4. At the moment I haven’t even found the setting for burst and have no train trips planned so I guess I have time, but I better grab my grappling hook lol.

I found that while looking into it a few hours back, but haven’t tried to install it yet (FedoraKDE), thanks!

Unfortunately, thems are for windows, we don’t like their kind 'round here.

I’m sure I can find one for linux though, thanks for the advice!

I just picked up my first real camera, perfect timing huh? Hopefully this one will be good enough when I figure out how to do the burst photos thing as I’m gonna need that I think.

I’m gonna pull a heist on a Staples ffs.

Well Rare Replay includes a few games in it that imo are fucking classics like Conker (but the best version is Live and Reloaded), Ghoulies, Battletoads, Banjo, Viva Pinata, but most of those are available on pc by other methods afaik, just not bundled with “Rare Replay” (which means Conker is better emulated on the xbox OG, because bot battles Squirrel v Bear.)

Well “being a pushover” is the opposite, if you’d relented and let him hit raw then you’d be a pushover. I think you meant “being pushy,” isn’t English fun lmao.

But also no dude it’s not just for babby but also STD, he shouldn’t trust you either. On the “no std” nor the “has any form of birth control” tbh, women lie about that (and the no std part) all the time, multiple have lied to me about it and I’m just one dude. Protect yourselves out there.
