Why even bother with ssh/shellinabox? In similar circumstances I just did a straight and simple NAT, and that's it.

I was never into insisting to only talk on the phone from the basement of my medieval castle. The view from the battlements is much better. We're not all jamesbondesque supervillains here. Like I said above, for like $8/mo you hav

Well, this sort of reinforces the point - there are about zero places in Europe where you have Wifi but do not have cheap almost-unlimited 4G/LTE. In fact it's wifi that's dying out here, the only thing that keeps it alive is

Anyone serious about their habits buys 100mg/100ml freebase nicotine/PG, some VG (Glycerine) and PG (Propylenglicol) and maybe a bit of flavors and mixes their own. A liter of this lasts a year and costs about a hundred-to-thousan

Well, here is hope that this will be a first step in bringing US internet access to at least something comparable to Balkans. Of course, to reach the likes of Netherlands or Russia even of now, not to mention as of five years ago would take

Yes, big tobacco is all out trying to wipe out vaping. No I would not agree re overall health outcomes becoming worse. Much of the cig consumption reduction came exactly due to them being replaced by vapes. I can't think of where do yo

Mmm.. so a giant reduction in bad health outcomes is alarming? How so? I'd remind you that those same big tobacco companies fight vapes tooth and nail. You might ask yourself - why do they do that.

Well, idk who has problems. They never exactly liked exalted islamists, or anyone with a bad attitude here, but otherwise people are pretty laid back. Once I saw a guy from Turkie being given trouble at the airport, but that's about it

I mean it's much easier to get into Serbia, Montenegro or Bosnia than into Schengen == Croatia, Slovenia. But Serbia has people, and Montenegro has sea, while Bosnia has neither. So nothing much happens in Bosnia compared to other two.

Yeah, sure. People tried for years to extract the reasoning behind Gnome 2 to Gnome 3 changes and still no one has any idea. Almost as it's just and only petty power trips.

Nothing much in Bosnia, it's all either Serbia or Montenegro. Croatia is Schengen, so it's much more difficult to get there, and once you're in, there are better destinations.

Eh, the memories. Once upon a time, back in Russia we had a service that captured most of FM radio stations and detected what was playing real-time as you listened from Moscow to some obscure station 2000 km away. Sadly it was all trampled

I wonder if it would be simpler to just spin two phone screens glued back-to-back. You get higher resolution in about the same weight. Bandwidth would be a problem though.
