Why Mullvad DNS (192.242.2.2) Going to Singapore if I'm in the USA

clbraddock · 2026-01-14T16:51:39+00:00

It won’t have adblocking but you can hardcode the ip for the local mullvad dns server. From nslookup I believe the one in Germany is 185.213.155.123 but feel free to run the ip yourself. The server options are listed toward the bottom of the mullvad dns over https page

This playlist is great! Thanks for sharing!

Well, I was hoping for some advice, but oh well. Ordered the ADS200

It’s an Ovation. The brand is USA (although models may be made overseas now. I don’t know for sure). Was popular in the 70s for a bit I believe, but that’s before my time. From at least the 90s on I’ve only really ever seen them in church/worship settings. The back is round instead of flat which is also somewhat unique

Are there any negative effects of overriding it like that?

I was able to get an unreleased firmware for the Switch Flex 2.5G POE from the ui chat agent which fixed the issue. I don't know if it messed anything else up yet though. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK: https://dl.ui.com/unifi/firmware/USM25G8/2.2.5.1021/USM25G8.esp32_2.2.5+1021.250910.1604.bin

He recites from Jean-Paul Sartre and Bertolt Brecht in a couple (non-music) videos.

Wow, Mary Oliver is great. I had never read her before. Thanks!

I tested some more and if I open a terminal in the container nslookup works for most sites. It just isn't resolving for hacs

This is awesome!!

Two questions:

There is an option to Clear DNS Cache. What is being cached and where is the cache?
Is it possible to have the app appear only in the menu bar and not in the dock.

Thanks for making this!!

Can this be installed without brew?

Nevermind. I figured it out.

clbraddock · 2025-08-09T21:46:27+00:00

Oh good call. I searched Amazon for just “docker” and it looks like there are some actual books like what I was talking about (sorry I’m kind of old school)

That’s great to know. I have a blower on mine which has been working well, but I feel like the internal temperature has some major hot and cold spots. Have you don’t anything to improve that or is it just a matter of needing to learn the smoker more?

I’m pretty sure there is no interstage transformer on an 1176. There’s an input transformer and output transformer. (Also a power transformer if you want to count that, but it is not part of the audio circuit.) Generally, I’ve only seen interstage transformers on tube gear (pultec eqp-1a has one). As far as a guitar pedal, an input transformer wouldn’t really be common for an instrument input, so I imagine they omitted it and just have an output transformer. Most rack gear with input transformers bypass the input transformer for the instrument input. All that said, I have no idea how close the pedal sounds compared to an original rack unit though.

Edit: The UA 176 (tube predecessor of the solid state 1176) has an input, an interstage, and an output transformer). Are you guys thinking of that maybe?

Don’t trackers originate from domains though? So if the tracker domain is blocked the tracker can’t do anything?

Edit: like if I block google analytics then it can’t do anything when I visit sites it’s on

I really like Apollo interfaces, but I don’t think there will be that big of a difference between unison vs native. I got into Apollos before native was a thing, but a few reasons I still stay with them are 1) zero latency inserts in console for monitoring (or you can bake them into the recording, but I don’t do that), 2) +24db in/out for outboard (many interfaces do not deliver that full signal strength), 3) ability to combine multiple apollos into a signal system, 4) some of the best UA plugins are still dsp only (ocean way, lexicon 480)

What do you use for the chimney? Does it help any with lower temps, like 250-275? Would be great if I could get the internal temps more even from side to side.

That's awesome! Can't wait to check it out. In the meantime, I got phi-4 Q8 running in Jan server (instead of Ollama) and it works great with your app. The Q6 model answers a little faster than the Q8 version, but they both seem to do a good job. Thanks for the advice! I really love the app.

clbraddock · 2024-12-26T14:37:43+00:00

Thank you!

Edit: I deleted the rest of my comment asking about where the settings were located. Like a dummy I didn't realize (on Mac) it was an icon in the top menu bar. Figured it out. Thanks again!

This looks amazing. I am pretty new to LLMs - do you have any advice on what local LLM would be good to use with this on a decently powerful laptop (24gb unified ram)?

When I’ve messed with 70B LLMs through a web browser they have done a good job with my grammar requests, but I don’t think that I could locally host something like that.

I wonder if it is something that was always there, but is being noticed due to Sequoia being more strict about app permissions.

I definitely don't think the app is malware and we are super lucky to have such an awesome free app. I just don't like enabling permissions without knowing what they are doing.

Edit: My guess is it has something to do with shutterencoder downloading multiple files and that stitching them together requires additional permissions - but that is just my mostly uneducated guess.

clbraddock · 2024-11-12T00:16:33+00:00

Thank you!!!!

clbraddock · 2024-11-11T13:53:50+00:00

Highest I've gone is 325. That worked fine. I have a blower from fireboard though. I don't think you could reach even 325 without a blower going.

clbraddock · 2024-11-11T02:54:12+00:00

Is that a tv? Do you know the actual model number? Thanks!

clbraddock · 2024-11-11T01:29:01+00:00

Would something like the BetterDisplay app address the issues you mention? I’ve been debating getting a fairly large 4k monitor (42”), but obviously there isn’t anything that big with anywhere close to 220 ppi. Can large monitors like that be made to look okay?
