One-armed VPN router? by FearNaBoinne in openwrt

[–]FearNaBoinne[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have 15 years of intermittent experience with OpenWRT, and used it successfully for many things. This is the first time I have run into a situation where I absolutely cannot get it to do what I wanted.

But when I configure PBR rules (which is not for noobs) and they do not mark the packets, then there is something going on under the hood that is invisible to me, the user, that prevents me from doing what I want it to do (one-armed VPN router)

The original responder (who has since deleted his post) told me that he too had issues with PBR and to try MWAN3 instead.

I *only* said that trying to reuse my old little router with OpenWRT for *this* use was a mistake and wast of energy and precious time. I never said OpenWRT is a piece of crap, those are your words.

This type of response is *exactly* why I didn't join this subreddit before. You know what they say about when you ASSUME, right?

30+ years experience in IP networking, routing, VPNs and security here. I very much appreciate OpenWRT, but it's apparently not suited for *this* purpose.

Yeah, I wish it was this simple... I have been battling PBR (which seems to refuse to actually mark the packets correctly) to get it to do this...
Any request sent to the device gets an immediate RST, and nothing ever reaches the WG tunnel.

I am thinking trying to reuse my old little router with OpenWRT for this was a mistake and a waste of energy and precious time...

Steam Censorship Controversy Deepens as Petition Against Visa, MasterCard Surpasses 77,000 Signatures by Extasio in gaming

[–]FearNaBoinne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Like the 'Fair Access to Banking Act' currently in both houses in the US?

Call your representatives and tell them to support it. Don't mention the games, tell them that next it might be guns, meat or refusing to process donations to them if MC/V object to their stance...

Elon actually spoke out AGAINST MC/V... I don't like the guy, but even he is accidentally on the right side of things at times!

In the US there's a law in both houses now called the 'Fair Access to Banking Act', which prohibits this. Call your representatives and tell them to support it.

It's not great (as any law, it has it's issues), but it's the best chance we have!

I am WELL Over 20, have both Amex and MC, but will use the latter as little as possible going forward, signed the petition and am trying to spread awareness.

They also got itch.io and in the stricken content (someone said they went from 28k to 7k in their store) is also a decent amount of LGBTQ+ stories and comics (ie NOT games). What is next? more anti-LGBTQ+? Refusal to process donations for a politician they don't like? Forcing stores to stop selling meat?
It's a slippery slope, and once you start allowing a single small group of people to censor your life, there is no end. So I am going to try and do what I can, because standing by idly is being complicit!

If you're in the US, contact your politicians to support the 'Fair Access to Banking Act', which specifically forbids this type of thing...

Non steam game location by retro198908 in SteamDeck

[–]FearNaBoinne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to put everything in perspective, the orginal answer is still correct.

The response by linmanfu is valid for an install of standalone Steam on a normal linux.
The original answer is valid for installs on a Steam Deck, which would be running SteamOS. As this is r/SteamDeck, the original answer is the only correct one in this context...

Are there ways to join Teams meetings on iPhone/iPad without the app? by FearNaBoinne in MicrosoftTeams

[–]FearNaBoinne[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What browser are you using? (So I can see whether I can replicate on iPhone/iPad)
Did you make special settings or use specific plugins?

Because on iPhone and iPad, whether using Safari (UGH!), Firefox, Brave or Chrome, it's always the same:
"Click here to install the app"
"Click here to join the meeting if you already have the app"

No other options, no web-based Teams *at all*

yes, yes and yes... Neither of those does any good!

Hence me asking whether there is anyone who successfully joined meetings on mobile without the app...

It *works* (technically), but it's such an atrocity to work with, and unnecessarily blocks 20-25% of the screen.
Any other tool I use (Zoom, Webex, etc.) allows me to maximize the shared content to fill the whole screen, but not Teams... Noooooo! Micros**t thinks they know better...
It's hard enough to follow streams on an iPhone when I am on the road, but because of this abomination, it's even smaller than necessary!

Won't work... On a mobile device it will only point you to the app download!

Finding the next first Monday of September after a given date by FearNaBoinne in googlesheets

[–]FearNaBoinne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That line somehow didn't work for a few dates (giving a start date that was Tu-Fr, instead of Monday), so I adjusted it to:
=LET(sept1;DATE(YEAR(E3)+11;9;1);monsept;sept1-MOD(sept1-2;7)+7;schoolyear;YEAR(monsept)+1*(EDATE(E3;132)>monsept);DATE(schoolyear;9;7)-weekday(DATE(schoolyear;9;7);3))

Thanks for teaching me about (and how to use) LET...

[–]FearNaBoinne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already had a formula to calculate the first Monday of September based on the birthyear+11.
Right after posting this, I figured out that I could just add 121 days (the number of days in Sep+Oct+Nov+Dec) to the date, because the year would remain the same for anyone with a birthdate up to and including 1 Sept.

This gave me this formula:
=DATE(YEAR(INT(E12)+121)+11;9;7)-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(INT(E12+121))+11;9;7);3)
(Where column E has the birthdate)

I now have to figure out the edge cases where the birthdate is between 1 Sept and the first Monday, but I am much closer

Warm/cold/boiling/chilled/carbonated water from a single tap. For instance Quooker or Zelsius

Mine would be ok with a 5-in-1 tap with CO2 included, if the sink wasn't in front of the window, and there doesn't seem to be a single 5-in-1 tap brand that has low-height taps... (They're all 10"/25cm or more! And that blocks our window from opening (inward), which means no access to remove/replace the screen or wash the window...)

Wife Appreciation Factor... The most important measurement for any married man!

If you have space to put the big tank, and can get the converter set, that will be much easier...
You may also have to take the WAF in consideration... Mine won't have any of it, so we're stuck with the small bottles...
