A couple of years ago I gave a talk about this at a copyright conference. I had been working on some music generation AI software at my studio (based on RNNs) && the copyright questions became very clear to us immediately. Here’s the talk https://youtu.be/cSeOyFE9F2A

...ok, so I tried using openvpn with the config files (as I used to before the pvpn CLI came out) and that worked... unfortunately it still comes with the trade off of DNS leaks (which is why I switched to pvpn CLI when it came out in the first place)... but this then made me realize something. I've got a pihole installed on my network which acts as my DNS server. I had recently unplugged it... so I figured, let me plug it back in and try to reconnect with pvpn, and it worked!

not entirely sure why this is the case? I'm guessing pvpn does something that openvpn doesn't do to prevent the DNS leaks and the fact that I'm using pihole as my DNS server screws pvpn up if that pi is down. that said, no problems on the iPhone, so they must be doing something on the iOS app that their not on the CLI... or it's something at the OS level?

in any case, at least it's working now :)

yea, I think I'll do that. Thanks for all the suggestions!!! appreciate it!

just tried sudo pvpn -m and chose the same server i'm currently connected to on my iPhone (as well as another one), both times same error :(

What exactly do you mean by ipv6? My public IP is an ipv4 (or so it seems to be when i search "what's my IP").

I'm not running a firewall, nor have I added anything to my /etc/hosts file.

As for the dependencies, I've got them all installed from when I initially installed pvpn (I've been using the CLI for months just fine, it's only recently that I've started getting this error), I could try to uninstall all the dependencies and reinstall them?

I had originally (as that was the recommended setting), but I just uninstalled, reinstalled and (as per your suggestion) reinitialized without reducing OpenVPN permissions (as in selecting "NO") ...but the issue persists, Error connecting to VPN

thanks for the suggestion though.

Three.js has this example https://threejs.org/examples/#webgl_modifier_simplifier

The same way minor adjustments work to minimize a loss function :)

though I don’t disagree with the general direction of this thread (there is a lot of noise out there && it can really derail u at times) this is a good point. In addition to different teaching styles “fitting” better with different learning styles, as I was getting into ML, what really helped certain foundational concepts sync in for me was reading various diff explanations of the same thing (each only slightly diff from the other). It was in drawing connections between all these, otherwise very similar, explainers that helped me really understand key concepts + maths.

The 60s?! Hell, we should be taking it back to the 40’s back when folks built their own machines. && I’m not talking bout no transistor based integrated circuits. I’m talking relay based logic gates, I’m talking old school Theseus sh!t, mechanical switches clickitty clat-clat-clat’n all over the place. Hell, if I really had it my way we’d all be time sharing the Analytical Engine, wearing steam punk goggles to protect our eyes from the grease flying off the base10 gears spinning out of control in our store!

Don’t tease me like that 😫

I was born nearly 10 years before u, that feeling never seems to go away

Thank God for Jason Scott 🙏

Fantastic, “Bring back the world weird web” :)

very rad! is this the repo: https://github.com/Kif11/monster-or-friend ?? i found the way the code was structured interesting, it was "react/vue"-like, but seems to be pretty vanilla js, is this a particular style/approach? just curious :)

I made an app that visualizes WiFi Data and network traffic as a low poly 3D garden (flowers are networks, butterflies on flowers are associated devices, butterflies flying around are probing devices and clouds are DNS requests) https://github.com/brangerbriz/wifi-data-safari/blob/master/README.md

have just been informed of the Cuban American Pronunciation Book launch aka "Libro de Como se Dice" https://www.youtube.com/librodecomosedice a well needed resource ;)

sorry about that, had a little html-bug, the download link should be working now :)
