That looks really impressive, but at nearly 1000 lines of Bash, I’m afraid I’m not comfortable running it on my machine. My Bash-foo isn’t strong enough to be sure that there isn’t a typo in there that could nuke my home folder.

You got the eyes just right!
It really doesn’t. See my other comment here for more detail.
Let me tell you how primary lane travel works in civilised countries: drunks and the others you mentioned end up in a canal, stranded up on a meridian, or crashed into a bollard.
That’s because they do more there than just say “share the lane” and call it a day. They narrow the road to almost exactly the width of a typical car using unforgiving barriers like bollards, medians, and 5m deep canals. They restructure the roads so they aren’t straight throughways, but brick-paved, winding pathways through the city.
They turn roads into obstacle courses, calming traffic, because as we all know, drivers may not be worried about killing cyclists, they’re horrified by the idea of scratching their paint.
They still have drunks of course, but they’re typically on bikes (since driving is so impractical), and they too often end up in a canal.
Here’s a decent example from Amsterdam where they effectively have 3 classes of road:
That last category is the majority over there, and a big reason why the city is so safe and quiet… unless it’s King’s Day or New Years eve. Then these spaces are flooded with loud, drunk pedestrians or children shooting fireworks at random. On those days I recommend trips out of town ;-)
This could actually be good news. At the end of the day, bike lanes are car infrastructure. If you want a cycling city, what you need are narrow, slow, winding roads that’re car-hostile. If you can’t have bike lanes, then this could be the opportunity to restructure the roads so that cycling in the primary lane is the default option for everyone.
Yeah that was the big strike against it for me too. I found that you can sort of perch it over a crossed leg and it’s sort of serviceable that way, but yeah… no coding on the train with a Surface.
The Surface Pro keyboard is actually quite good, with the added bonus that it’s also easily detachable.
This too is an excellent take. “Artificial pain points” for capitalism, or “learn some shit” for Linux. Love it.
At the firewall level, port forwarding forwards traffic bound for one port to another machine on your network on an arbitrary port, but the UI built on top of it in your router may not include this.
If it’s not an option in your Fritzbox, your options are:
The first and last options on this list are probably the best.
You make an excellent point. I have a lot more patience for something I can understand, control, and most importantly, modify to my needs. Compared to an iThing (when it’s interacting with other iThings anyway) Linux is typically embarrassingly user hostile.
Of course, if you want your iThing to do something Apple hasn’t decided you should want to do, it’s a Total Fucking Nightmare to get working, so you use the OS that supports your priorities.
Still, I really appreciate the Free software that goes out of its way to make things easy, and it’s something I prioritise in my own Free software offerings.
What site are you using to book night trains?
Oof, that video… I don’t have enough patience to put up with that sort of thing either. I wonder how plausible a complete Rust fork of the kernel would be.
In my experience, the larger the company, the more likely they are to force you to use Windows. The smaller companies will be more relaxed about the whole thing.
The largest company I’ve worked for that allows Linux had a staff count of hundreds of engineers and hundreds more non-nerds. In their case though, the laptops were crippled with Crowdstrike and Kollide and while the tech team was working hard to support us, we were always aware that we made up around 1% of the machines they manage and represented a big chunk of their headaches.
The response to this you usually hear (from me even) is that “I don’t need support, I know what I’m doing”. Which is probably true, but the vast majority of problems is in dealing with access to proprietary systems, failures from Crowdstrike or complaints about kernel versions etc.
TL;DR: work at a small company (<100 staff) and they’ll probably leave you alone. Go bigger and you’ll be stuck fighting IT in one way or another.

I remember seeing this in school as a kid. I’m 46 now.
It would be absolutely bizarre if you couldn’t connect with WireGuard port
and Wireguard obfuscation
set to Automatic
. Things to try first:
If the above somehow doesn’t work, Mulvad offers support through which you can get a temporary Server IP override
. You can enter that in the bottom portion of your app’s settings.
Actually, someone did, changing the name to “Glimpse”. They announced it as an explicit fork that would continue development under the new name.
As far as I know, that’s as far as they got.
“Class warfare” from someone willing to literally go to prison to prevent millions of the poor dying in climate change. Right.
I never contested the facts as stated, only that their presentation, devoid of context was misleading. I put “crime” in quotes to demonstrate the absurdity of a system that imprisons people for blocking traffic when those actually burning the planet are treated with the highest respect by our elected representatives. This wasn’t defrauding old ladies, it was causing a traffic jam.
Normal car traffic blocks ambulances all the time, and yet no one seems to consider it a crime punishable by 5 years. Meanwhile, a woman kills a cyclist with her car and gets a suspended sentence. Canada is on fire. Greece is on fire. Bulgaria, Italy, North Macedonia, Turkey, Spain, and Portugal are all on fire. How many ambulances-worth of people do you think are going to die as a result?
And spare me the “he’s a hypocrite 'cause he flew in a plane” pearl-clutching. He knows, as I’m sure you do that you don’t fix climate change through individual action. Sure it feels nice to be all self-righteous and forego luxuries provided by bad energy policy, but real change comes through legislation that taxes the hell out of flying — you know, like JSO is demanding but for which our elected leaders would rather ignore because it’d be unpopular.
These statements, while true are lacking so many critical details that it borders on disinformation.
The ambulance thing is pretty terrible, but when you consider the objective outcome of our current world-burning, it’s not an unexpected perspective. Given a few more years of inaction and profiteering, and the nonviolent actors will start giving up on being civil – especially if the penalty is the same regardless. We’ll be looking back on traffic blocking and orange paint with nostalgia.
To be clear, I’m not throwing shade. That’s an impressive piece of software. It’s just, given the number of stories I’ve heard (and experienced) about Bash’s tricky syntax leading to Bad Things, I’m less comfortable with running this than I would be with something in a language with fewer pitfalls.
But if others take the chance and it sticks around a bit, I’ll come around ;-)
Thanks for the contribution! It’s a great idea, and with Google fucking about with blocking things like NewPipe, a project like this is a great answer to that.
