Not exactly sure, but playing with setting up your own VPN will give you an idea of it.
Essentially, the VPN is run on a remote server. When you connect to the VPN, your traffic gets masqueraded out through the remote server, and replies get natted back to you. If you tried setting up a webserver on your computer and then accessing the webserver on the VPN server IP, it wouldn’t work, because the request coming in to the VPN server port would by default just reach the VPN server at that port.
This is where port forwarding comes in – if the VPN server allows you to port forward, you can set port X on the VPN server to go to port Y on your router (which would likely also have to port forward on your router to get to your computer).
If you were intending to seed, yes.
It’s certainly possible to download content after you’ve joined. Some might call that piracy, but I would call it fair use.
Port forwarding allows you to seed without revealing your IP address. If you seed on a VPN and you don’t have port forwarding, your IP is revealed to those you seed to.
Edit – I was wrong. You can technically seed securely behind a VPN connection, but since you can’t be connected to directly behind a vpn without port forwarding, you would only be able to seed to ppl who port forward, or who can be connected to directly. You would only be able to leech from everyone else.
If everyone torrented like this (behind a VPN without port forwarding), all torrents would grind to a halt; nobody would be able to seed.
Yeah; it’s pretty great. It lacks the excel functions, but if you know some python that is a total non-issue.
I appreciate your mentioning the downside. I am way too much of a tinkerer for a read-only root to be acceptable for me, but I’m glad you found something you like.
It isn’t really about his net worth. Capitalists (oligarchs) like Trump because for some reason he is the right kind of ghoul to be their tool. And police like who the oligarchs like.
Local python uses ~/.local/bin, so in the interest of avoiding conflict, it is probably better to use ~/bin.
What the heck? This bends my brain.
Too true. Trump didn’t come from nowhere; the genocide of the native americans, the ethnic cleansing of black communities, jim crow, the zoot suit riots, etc are all proof of that.
And yeah, the democratic party talks a good game, but where were they when that train derailed and ruined the water in East Palestine, Ohio? Where were they during the subsequent negotiations with the railway workers who were just asking for basic necessities – which Biden denied to them. Why did the Democratic party reduce Covid leave to just 5 days, when it takes at least a week or more to fully recover? Why did they remove the masking mandate when infections are still happening and disabling people?
They are all servants of the capitalists. The oligarchs need to go. A lot more than that needs to happen honestly, but at least the oligarchs need to go.
This is not that big of a deal most of the time, since you are the only person interacting with your computer, but it’s worth remembering when you decide to recycle or donate – you have to securely wipe in that case. Also bear in mind, if you do encrypt your drive, there are now more possibilities for total data loss.
Oh, fun fact: you can change a users windows password inside Linux. Comes in handy for recovery, ie, user forgot their password.

It’s a professional-grade graphic design software.
Ubuntu – the one with the Nelson Mandela video and the picture of people holding hands in a circle.
We’re only in the first three months. Jesus.
If it works, it works – glad you found a way
Claws searches reasonably quickly and unlike thunderbird it isn’t a total resource hog. OTOH it suffers from not being multi threaded, which means when you first install it, expect it to take literally hours before it finishes syncing all your emails.
Mutt is not multi threaded either. Only thunderbird and kmail are, and kmail is a buggy mess, while thunderbird eats your ram like it’s a plate of cheese danishes.
here we go:
dedup:
this removes duplicate lines, preserving line order
iter:
This executes a command for each line. It can also be used to compare two directories, ie:
fadeout:
lbn:
This plays “layered brown noise” by crysknife. It’s a great sleep aid.
here are some aliases:
