The economics of our world are completely controlled by middle-men. This is how much power we have delegated to them. There is no free market, just a series of publisher deals that put producers of value into a casino to decide if they get compensated for their labour.

The usual problems with parsing ls don’t happen here because Nu’s ls builtin returns properly typed data.

Isn’t that the point that the previous commenter was making by linking that answer? I read their comment as “here is why you should use Nu shell instead of parsing ls output.”

Which VPS provider are you using? Many of them end up blacklisted for mail delivery due to spammers using them.

Sorry to be a doofus, but could you paste the output of iptables-save and ip6tables-save instead? The default iptables output actually just leaves out important information like which interface the rule applies to.

I think the best thing to do would be to see if you can get support from Windscribe and find out whether it’s a known issue or a bug that needs fixing.

Thanks, looking at it now, but I should have remembered, iptables has a separate tool for ipv6 called ip6tables. Could you also paste the output of

ip6tables -L

If you put it in the comment between backticks like this:

```
<paste here>
```

then it will keep the formatting exactly as it was when you copied it, instead of munging the linebreaks.

Check your cron and systemd timers to see if a regular scheduled job is running at that time.

It might help if you paste a complete dump of your firewall rules. I’m not sure if ufw uses iptables of netfilter since I haven’t used it before, but you can do:

for iptables firewalls:

iptables -L

for netfilter firewalls:

nft list ruleset

That might help debug exactly what ufw and your vpn are doing.

That’s good to hear, thanks for the reply!

A Freedombox user in the wild!! I’ve been following the project since 2011 but I never thought it really achieved its potential. How do you use yours, and how do you find it?

I hope it’s a 3rd person Battle Royale with base building.

First paragraph after the introduction:

what is a “modern terminal experience”? Here are a few things that are important to me, with which part of the system is responsible for them:

• multiline support for copy and paste: if you paste 3 commands in your shell, it should not immediately run them all! That’s scary! (shell, terminal emulator)
• infinite shell history: if I run a command in my shell, it should be saved forever, not deleted after 500 history entries or whatever. Also I want commands to be saved to the history immediately when I run them, not only when I exit the shell session (shell)
• a useful prompt: I can’t live without having my current directory and current git branch in my prompt (shell)
• 24-bit colour: this is important to me because I find it MUCH easier to theme neovim with 24-bit colour support than in a terminal with only 256 colours (terminal emulator)
• clipboard integration between vim and my operating system so that when I copy in Firefox, I can just press p in vim to paste (text editor, maybe the OS/terminal emulator too)
• good autocomplete: for example commands like git should have command-specific autocomplete (shell)
• having colours in ls (shell config)
• a terminal theme I like: I spend a lot of time in my terminal, I want it to look nice and I want its theme to match my terminal editor’s theme. (terminal emulator, text editor)
• automatic terminal fixing: If a programs prints out some weird escape codes that mess up my terminal, I want that to automatically get reset so that my terminal doesn’t get messed up (shell)
• keybindings: I want Ctrl+left arrow to work (shell or application) being able to use the scroll wheel in programs like less: (terminal emulator and applications)

There are a million other terminal conveniences out there and different people value different things, but those are the ones that I would be really unhappy without.

So basically it’s the features that have been standard in shells and terminal emulators for the past couple of decades.

I hope it’s a 3D open world action RPG, you know, just for a laugh.

Have you ever experienced any kind of rate limiting or lock-out based on how fast and how much you are downloading?

You’re welcome. I’ve been using Linux for 26 years and had never heard of (or at least didn’t remember hearing of) MPD, so it’s not just new users. We all feel a different part of the elephant.

What is MPD?

MPD (Music Player Daemon) is a server-client audio player long popular with Linux users. The headless daemon runs as a background service, typically on a remote audio server. Music is then accessed via a GUI client frontend, which connects to the MPD server to stream content.

Kind of like running your bespoke, curated music streaming service, in a sense.

How did you bypass the password?

I just did a couple of test searches and it didn’t work at all. Obvious AI images stayed in the results, and the ones that it removed when I selected “AI: hide” were obvious photos or human artwork.

Hopefully they can improve their detection method and make it actually useful.
