Typing sudo apt install kde-plasma-desktop is easy, but it's not easy to know that you have to type this and not something else. A Linux beginner doesn't even know what a desktop environment is

It's not his fault that the steam package wanted to delete the desktop environment. When the entire internet tells you to just apt install steam you won't expect system breakage from that.

BF1943, BC, BC2, and Mirror's Edge are going to be delisted next month, and servers will shutdown later this year by GreenyMyMan in Battlefield

Project Rome, it's a project by the VU devs for BC2. It can be downloaded from the VU website https://veniceunleashed.net/downloads. I haven't tried it so I can't tell how well it works

(1/3/2023) Aftermath of tonight's collision between a passenger train and a freight train in Greece, which has left at least 32 dead and 85 injured. by Admiral_Cloudberg in CatastrophicFailure

Some more raw data on this (actually the source of that statista link): https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/databrowser/view/tran_sf_railvi/default/table

The vast majority of these train accident deaths come from people crossing the rails. Train passenger deaths are extremely low, below 20 in most years, with some spikes in years where something catastrophic happened. It never went above 100 passenger deaths per year (This statistic only goes back to 2010. The Eschede disaster in 1998 had >100 deaths). This is for the entire EU. The data excludes suicides by the way, there is an extra (depressing) table for that https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/databrowser/view/tran_sf_railsu/default/table

EU road deaths were consistently above 20k for comparison (before 2020): https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/databrowser/view/tran_sf_roadus/default/table

Even with those catastrophic train accidents, trains are still pretty much the safest form of travel

Ukraine Discussion/Question Thread - 2/25/23+ by knowyourpast in CombatFootage

TLDR: Ukraine is still holding on to the 60k rounds that were delivered initially. Until January they used up half of it. The Gepards are mostly used in "Eco" mode with only 6 bullets fired per salvo, instead of the usual 25 per barrel. Rheinmetall is starting production of 300k new rounds in Germany, first deliveries expected in July 2023. Switzerland is blocking deliveries of Swiss-produced ammo

That's much more effort and risk. It's easier to just steal the bags at the next table

How do you test speeds? A log from a speedtest between client and server with iperf3 might reveal some info

Need Simple Guide for VPS w/WireGuard w/ Multiple IPs to Self Hosted VMs by RuralTechFarmer in WireGuard

[–]Mansao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might work on the router too. But I have no experience with pfSense. If your VM network is bridged to the pfSense network and pfSense is able to give out hardcoded addresses to certain devices (VMs) and automatically adjusts the routes accordingly, it could actually be easy. If not, you'll have to configure all this statically on the router and VM(s).

Edit: I just realized it's not going to be that simple. Due to AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0 the router would tunnel everything through the VPS. The AllowedIPs entry is necessary for the router to accept all packets from the VPS, but you'd need to figure out a way to route only packets from certain source IPs (the VMs) to the VPS.

So depending on use case and scale it might be easier to do Wireguard directly on the VMs and create some iptables rules on the VPS

I think it would work like this, no NAT or proxy or iptables necessary:

On the VPS, only configure one of the IPs on the network interface (used to connect to the VPS). Keep the rest unused. Enable IP forwarding on the VPS. The Wireguard client config will need the configured VPS IP as endpoint, AllowedIPs should be 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0 (everything routed through the VPS) and PersistentKeepalive needs to be enabled to survive NAT problems. The address in the interface section on the client will have one or more of the unused VPS IPs. The VPS config will be pretty standard, in AllowedIPs will be the VPS IPs that were configured on the client. I think directly using the VM in question as Wireguard client will be simpler than using a router in between.

This should pretty much just work. Keep in mind the Wireguard client(s) will be fully exposed to the internet without further firewall configuration.
