Port Forwarding on a selfmade VPN & I2P Torrenting in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Why use a VPS at all then? Do you not want to host at home?

I want to call out one thing in case you didn't know.

The idea of a public VPN is to hide your traffic with other users who also use the VPN. If you're renting a VPS you don't get all the "benefits" of a public VPN. All you're doing is adding an extra hop to the internet, you're not mixing your traffic with others using the same IP. It's all you.... In fact, you're probably making it easier to isolate the things you do online because at home you could say a guest you had over must have downloaded it. If its the VPS, its all you.

If they ever use biometrics for this, mine are for sale. Cheap.... I'd like to know what happens when I can't use who I am as my ID because it's public.

Our AC ran from 9:30am yesterday morning until it was able to catch up to the set temp at about 1:50am. Seems like it has already started again today. 2 years ago we didn't have one, I'll never go back.

looking for advice (lemmy.ca)
 

So, I'm pretty new at soldering and I'm looking for some advice on how to not ruin a via while removing solder...

I was trying to remove the solder from a original Xbox 1.0 motherboard and I burnt the shit out of a via and caused issues with several others.

I was able to fix it and everything is working but I want to do better.

I used a pointed tip, flux, and added some of my own solder to the via. I then cleaned, added new flux, and used solder wick to remove the solder. Some points, would NOT melt at all. I kept increasing the temp to 430°c and it finally melted and took everything with it.

Now, I know I fucked up and used too much heat. I probably should have used my rework station and a solder sucker but I JUST got the rework station and didn't want to popcorn the OG Xbox board... The solder wouldn't stay melted long enough from my iron for the sucker to work so I used wick.

Has anyone actually found the NSP/XCI somewhere?

I've found an update file but the base game doesn't seem to be anywhere I have access to.

Ottawa G2 driver clocked driving 160 km/h on Highway 417 (ottawa.ctvnews.ca)
 

Ontario Provincial Police in Ottawa caught a novice driver reaching speeds of 160 km/h on Highway 417 on Sunday morning.

An OPP spokesperson said officers stopped the G2 driver shortly before 9:30 a.m. near the Kanata Avenue exit.

The speed limit in the area is 100 km/h.

"This speed is never okay, but even more dangerous when you're an inexperienced driver," OPP said on social media site X.

The driver was charged with stunt driving and received an automatic 30-day driver's licence suspension and a 14-day vehicle impound.

If convicted, they will face a minimum $2,000 fine, six demerit points and a one year driving suspension.
