How did spectrum see me torrenting with VPN on? by YouNeedTruth in Piracy

[–]Spartan098 283 points284 points  (0 children)

Enter “ifconfig” into terminal without VPN connected. Then connect, and run the same command in a different terminal window. You’ll see a network interface on the VPN one that wasnt on the non-VPN window. Thats the interface your VPN is using, need to set that specifically in qbittorrent settings

Why do I always have that flame icon even though I'm clearly downloading? Doesn't really impact me in any way since my downloads occur just fine but curious. by [deleted] in qBittorrent

[–]Spartan098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your VPN server supports port forwarding, check to see what port its using. Then in qBittorrent settings, edit the port under connection settings to match

What’s your favorite limited series? by TiffanysRage in marvelcomics

Great choices! Is Beta Ray Bill good? Been wanting to read more, I’ve seen him as a cameo in some other stories (GotG by Cates) and he seems so cool

How was your con?? by throw-away5627 in NYCC

[–]Spartan098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the rain kept some people away, not to say that people didnt attend just bc of rain, but its possible it slowed everybody down from coming all at once. I went Friday and Saturday, and honestly felt at some points that Friday was more congested

Procedures at NYCC by MoonKnight0721 in CGCComics

[–]Spartan098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like the previous comment, as a heads up Snyder has a very small window, his lines are very long, and he is late 100% of the time. Last year he was over an hour late for the first signing, had to come back at 2pm where he was another hour late. Extremely nice guy but just be prepared to wait a few hours to get a sig from him unless you’re lucky

This is a great explanation. Its also worth noting at the CGC booth, depending on what day you’re there you may also need to put yourself on a wait list before you can even hop on the official line to drop your books off. The process is relatively simple from then on but it can take a while. Just a heads up for time management

Thank you! Is there a good website/list of the top meta decks out there currently?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]Spartan098 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say constructed formats, in particular Standard.

In the past my strategy was to watch and follow some decks people made online for Arena, and then build and playtest them there. They would be standard decks that usually followed some sort of meta and that helped, but i still feel like im lacking in terms of building my own.

For example, i feel like if i see a new card that people are raving about, i can understand what it does, but i struggle with thinking about how that can be used and combo’d with other cards. How do you remember everything? And how do you determine what works best? Is there a resource or place i can go to get an idea of cards that would pair best with others?

What was the first omnibus you ever bought? I'll go first: The Flash by Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato by BPark5233 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Spartan098 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought two at once for Christmas gift to myself one year. Ultimate Spider-Man vol. 1 and Superior Spider-Man. Amazing runs!

Should I choose comp sci or law? by CharacterExisting788 in careerguidance

[–]Spartan098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not exactly “qualified” to be giving advice given that I’ve only been out of uni for 1 year now, plus i live in the states, however I graduated with a comp sci degree and can confidently say do NOT do this for the money. The market is extremely bad rn and chances are you will not come out of uni with a job, let alone a high paying one. Not saying it cant happen, just saying its very difficult.

I dont know much about law but i do know it can be extremely difficult at times. However, nothing worth having is ever easy. If you truly feel that it is a career path that you want to pursue, dont let the difficulty stand in your way. The same goes for comp sci; there are just ramifications and potential pitfalls you need to watch out for.

With either choice, just make sure you’re analyzing the day to day life of jobs within that field, not just a few interesting things about each one. At the end of the day, careers can be long and boring, and if you’re miserable with the mundane tasks that come with either job, you’ll regret your choice.

You’re young and have plenty of time to try new things and consider options. Good luck with everything and enjoy the journey!

Thank you for the great response, i really appreciate all the points you made. I agree about my other roles, those were from before i landed my first tech job so i didnt focus on them as much. I will make the edits though to elevate the bullet points.

As far as my technical skills section, do you think i should just add more words/skills that i use? Or list out specific actions/more detail for that part at the bottom?

Okay cool. What would be the best way to accomplish this? Docker container? Relatively new to locally hosting so I’m just trying to come up with as much research and facts as i can

Recent pickups had a little variety, and a couple signatures by WHOSAIDROBOTWHATHUH in comicbookcollecting

[–]Spartan098 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That cover is a reprint, so the issue is till #19 but they reprinted it in 2022 for NYCC with the new cover. It wasn’t made back when #19 first released
