No, it’s not “banned” but effectively it is. It’s illegal to proselytize. I mean, the Dalai Lama fled to India in the 50’s because of China. I won’t even get into Xinjiang’s labor camps. And no, race mixing is not a bad thing, but that is not what this is, especially when it’s done deliberately and forcefully. I like how you try to conflate race mixing with ethnic dilution. China aims to erase the Tibetan culture, not mix with it. There are way fewer Tibetans than Han. Magnitudes fewer. So fuck off with your weird sex shit and get off your high horse.

    They’ve been diluting the ethnic Tibetan population and oppressing the Muslim population of Xinjiang (Uyghurs) by banning religion. They certainly won’t foster “unity” in the way we think and will use their influence for self-preservation. If this is for unity, it’s to keep their citizens in check so they can stay in power.

    I needed a PSU that was efficient at 20W and so I consulted Wolfgang's PSU Low Idle Efficiency List, because it was one of the first results on YouTube. However, the first thing you may notice is that the reports it links to are no longer in the same place on Cybenetics' website. If you manually check the PSU model on their website, you actually get different numbers for 20W. After having this revelation, I scraped the entire website and found that Wolfgang's data is no longer current. I don't know why after a second evaluation Cybenetics had different results, but am inviting you to ask with me.

    Here are the top 150:

    They never asked me to make security questions. I set my password the first time and completed some required forms. Then, these buffoons reset my password again (2nd) and made me change it to something else (3rd). The thing is, when I changed my password the site gave me a non-descript error banner and redirected me to the login. Now neither the 1st password, 2nd password, or 3rd password works. To top it off I can't even reset the password. I think the site is having an aneurysm.

     

    Background: I have a cellular ISP and therefore cannot configure the CGNAT. After burning through some dumb ideas (free reverse proxy, docker) I realized I could just use my paid VPN.

    My setup is as follows: on the VPN server create a tunnel to AirVPN and start the openvpn daemon. This creates tun0 and tun1 with their own 10.x.x.x/24 subnets. The home network has 192.168.12.0/24.

    It's possible to troubleshoot the MTU with ping -M do -s xxxx y.y.y.y to the VPN public address and test TCP/UDP sockets with nc -l -u -p 1194 .

    I'm not sure if the MTU is variable across servers, but for the server I am on now ping -M do -s 1432 x.x.x.x is the biggest I can get a response from. 1432+20+8=1460 bytes.

    Regardless, connecting to the home VPN through the AirVPN link still causes breakage. Discord seems to be what isn't working, mostly. Everything else has 200 ms latency as expected and not everything pings correctly. Rarely it will tell me the MTU has to be adjusted, sometimes tells me "message too long" and mostly just ignores my ping.

    Can someone give me a recommendation for what MTU to be setting in my local OpenVPN server? Should I use mssfix or tun-mtu? Should I lower the MTU of the AirVPN connection? What else can I do?

    In the process of doing this I somehow shut my house's WiFi down...

     

    I'm thinking of backing all of my family's digital assets up. It includes less than 4 TB of information. Most are redundant video files that are in old encodings or not encoded at all and there are a lot of duplicate images and old documents. I'm gonna clean this stuff up with a bash script and some good old manual review, but first I need to do some pre-planning.

    • What's the cheapest and most flexible NAS I can make from eBay or local? What kind of processors and what motherboard features?
    • What separate guides should I follow to source the drives? What RAID?
    • What backup style should I follow? How many cold copies? How do I even handle the event of a fire?

    I intend to do some of this research on my own since no one answer is fully representative but am appreciative of any leads.
