Yeah. Boost itself is great though. Well worth the couple of bucks to get rid of the ads forever.

In case RPG includes JRPG for you: Both Nier:Automata and Nier:Replicant play fantastic in the deck, and those games are far more enjoyable with a controller instead of keyboard and mouse

Yes, good thing Russia forces people to change genders!

...not what you meant, huh?

(Seriously though, the situation here is intense. Our minister of education is currently under pressure to resign by the scientific community (which she refuses to do) because her ministry was looking for ways to defund / revoke grants to 400 university researchers who had criticized the way in which a pro-Palestinian protest was handled. That's all it takes.)

....no words.

smiletolerantly OP ,

I'm able to resolve DNS requests from the device. But maybe I'm misunderstanding your question? 😅

smiletolerantly OP ,

Ah, alright. Yes, I've just double checked. The server end of the tunnel provides a dns server, and the client is configured to use that as its only dns server.

smiletolerantly OP ,

I don't have accounts on any other streaming services 😅
YouTube works, though

Do you have a suggestion how to eliminate this as a possibility?

smiletolerantly OP ,

Hi,

no, sorry :(

I really don't think it's DNS (famous last words, I know)

What use is Github / a Github clone to you without knowing git?

smiletolerantly ,

So what are you using it for? (Not criticizing, genuinely curious)

smiletolerantly ,

Oh, didn't even know you could do that, lol

I've been hosting a personal domain with an established-but-not-large hosting provider for around 6 years, without any troubles sending or receiving mail from that domain (via the provider's servers, of course).

Does that mean my domain is now well established enough to take email hosting to my own server?

smiletolerantly ,

Awesome. Thanks.

Funny. I just had to downgrade my kernel from 6.8.9 to 6.1 for my main game to work. So much for bleeding edge... 😅

Amazon Mulls $5 to $10 monthly price tag for unprofitable Alexa service, AI revamp ( www.reuters.com )

Amazon (AMZN.O) is planning a major revamp of its decade-old money-losing Alexa service to include a conversational generative AI with two tiers of service and has considered a monthly fee of around $5 to access the superior version, according to people with direct knowledge of the company's plans.

I've been wondering this. I have multiple of the older (non-Dot, the tall, cylindrical ones) Echoes. I hate using them. But I do like the form factor and sound quality.

It probably can't be too hard to gut everything but the speakers, microphone and DC port, then wire in a Pi / Pi Zero, right...?

what's your current linux distro?

wanting to hop into the world of linux on a dual boot method (one of my favorite games unfortunately cannot be run on linux at all, and it's a gacha. I don't want to gamble with my account being banned, so I'm keeping windows for it specifically.) this'll be my second go at it, I used Pop!_OS briefly but had some issues with...

NixOS on my Laptop, Desktop, Gaming Machine, and around 10 servers.

Still have two servers on Arch, waiting to be migrated, and I'm really itching to but NixOS on the Steam Deck as well.

I pay for one Usenet provider/indexer. I also still use tons of torrent sources.

90% of the time, stuff that I'm monitoring gets downloaded via Usenet for currently airing or rather new shows.

50% of the time when actively looking for stuff from the past 5-10 years I use Usenet, the other half is torrents

90% of stuff older than that, I only find torrents

100% of non-English stiff I get from torrents (I'm subscribed to an English Usenet indexer though, so that tracks).

In short: Why not use both?

smiletolerantly ,

Yes, they do!! With torrents, it just takes a single seeder to keep the torrent alive, but Usenet isn't peer to peer - you're downloading stuff from a centralized server(s), and they simply cannot keep everything alive forever.

IMO it's fine though. Usenet provides you with very timely access to all the "newest" stuff, in excellent, very consistent quality.

And for older stuff, there's torrents.

smiletolerantly ,

And usually Usenet does lend quite a bit of releases you usually see on private indexers or some publics.

Right, that's also true.
