  • What part is illegal? Are they sharing files on that instance and your instance re-hosts it?

    From my understanding, discussions are legal, guides are legal, tips are legal, but actual files (aka “copyrighted content”) is illegal. There are no files shared there, links at maximum, but institutions should be after those content-sharing websites, not forums.

    I am against this decision and I am happy that I am not part of admins team.




  • Arch is customizable, like legos. It’s neither minimalistic, neither lightweight. It gives you almost unlimited amount of legos and you build something. Bad at building - you fucked. Good at building - congrats.

    You don’t require to melt those bricks from plastic tho (gentoo) or rebuild an existing OS (Ubuntu).

    Also when you buy Arch Lego© set, you also get a great instructions on how to do it (arch wiki) + recommendations on how to order additional less-frequently used legos (AUR).

    That’s why I prefer Arch. 👌










  • Google Pixel is no-brainer choice. Any pixel from 7th gen.

    GrapheneOS is kind of nice if you don’t hate setting everything up, but for example, Google Wallet does not work on it. Camera is somewhat trash. Myself I did not like it due to camera and google wallet functionality.

    Ex-OnePlus user. Their software is buggy and shit. OnePlus used to be amazing but not anymore.

    Mobile market sucks in terms of competition tbh… All 3rd party ROMs like LineageOS are usually bloated with bugs there and there. Wouldn’t recommend!




  • Some time ago I’ve done a “public IP implementation” on my VPS when I was on mobile network (no public IP).

    Basically set up IPSec/Wireguard on VPS and connect your router to it. Then setup EoIP over VPN between VPS and your router. Then add EoIP tunnel to your LAN’s bridge in your router.

    Then setup all ports forwarding (using iptables) from your VPS to your router on LAN, so if you connect to your VPS using tcp80, it will be simply forwarded (NAT’ed) to your router. Except tcp22, for SSH to your VPS obviously…

    And now you have yet another public IP lol.

    This is not something you asked, but might give you some ideas.



  • Isn’t “MAC NAT” you are after? I’ve seen Mikrotik has this feature to perform NAT for bridge devices. EDIT: no, since your ISP might check at DHCP leases and realise that you are cheating. Go with regular router instead.

    Also regular router would be sufficient IMO. Also don’t forget to set static TTL value so your “ISP” doesn’t see that you have a router between your devices.

    Also create MAC address and save it. Always change it before connecting - you will have less trouble.
