I’m curious if they offer port forwarding? That feature has been keeping me on PIA despite ethical concerns

I’m really pumped for this! Love seeing the progress. I got an m4 pro that I love the hardware of but since moving my other computers to Linux I don’t love the os. Being able to have my m4 run Linux would be the best of both worlds. One day I suppose

Thanks I appreciate it!

So this may be a good place to ask. With this news in mind does anyone have a good guide to follow to build your own router. I’ve read a little that a mini pc with more than one Ethernet port is the only requirement but I haven’t found any good guides yet, only articles on why you should.

Thank you for all that info! I appreciate it. Definitely furthers my goal of tech literacy. I’ve always been competent at using computers but don’t know much about anything more in depth.

Greatest technician already has my mothers toothbrush lol

That’s for my girlpla kit to the right of the mba. I just have the right leg to finish lol. It’s the Ludens kit made by Kojima and Kotobukia. Really great kit so far. No fitment issues yes and tons of features

You are awesome!!! That got everything working swimmingly well. Thank you sooo much

Ah, that’s my gunpla toothbrush. I build Japanese model kits and the toothbrush is great for getting dust and plastic residue out of paneling and corners

One of my favorite books mentioned!!! I love Peter watts. Starfish was also a really fun book

Luckily my mom is pretty open minded. Throw snoopy on it and she’ll like it lol

I personally use Fedora plasma on my thinkpad. Love it even though I’ve done like no customizing of it. I chose gnome for my parents cause I wanted a close out of the box experience…and I also wanted to play with Fedora workstation 43 before upgrading my plasma os

Overly cautious and slightly tech illiterate. I’m working on the latter though!

Oh that would be great if you could. I’d appreciate it!

Someone told me that too, lol. I’m learning all sorts today. Oh well. At least now I have Ethernet adapters for every sort of port

She’s starting off on the…right foot :) I still gotta finish her. Literally just haven’t done the right leg/foot armor

Oh the pain. You should’ve heard the accusations of someone else changing their passwords…somehow. Yet they’ll both bring up me bricking the fam computer dl linkin park from limewire…like 20+ years ago lol

I enabled the free and non free repos and entered

sudo dnf in broadcom-wl

That got everything working. I used the Ethernet method cause I am a noob and was not aware of using a flash drive until just now lol. Guess I got something else to learn

This reminds me of my families collective trauma, the summer of screaming bunnies!

We had our cat and her new litter of 3 kittens go out into our wooded acre property that was heavily populated by bunnies…was. Their first summer was “active”. We tried to save the first 12 or so but by the second week of July we just numbly listened to the cries while trying to eat dinner. Fun times. Miss those cats though, even if they were murder hobos

I would LOVE a guide! And if you’re looking for a laypersons input you got it. Again I know how to use tech but I’m not a tech-priest type
