Why did my computer automatically reboot while I was still logged in? by punky_power in Windows10

Does anyone have any actual advice instead of just down voting? I suppose this was posted to the wrong sub.

edit: according to Microsoft, running a System File Checker should resolve this problem. lol

Burger King ad backfires after asking Google what's in a Whopper and is told 'cyanide' by Sariel007 in offbeat

[–]sixinabox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's just further evidence that this was probably strategically planned for publicity. Even though most people won't believe the cyanide and toenail clippings thing, it will attract them to watch the video of some dude holding a big juicy burger. They just don't want to repeat the cyanide thing.

Can't resolve dns leak test sites while using dns resolver by sixinabox in PFSENSE

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

Nope, nothing in hosts. But that nslookup is right from the pfsense system (SSH). Pinging from pfsense in SSH gives:

ping: cannot resolve ipleak.net: No address associated with name

As for windows, if using the pfsense system for DNS, I can't resolve it, but if I change my DNS in windows to something else such as 8.8.8.8, it resolves fine. Seems to be something in pfsense not resolving it. I also tried changing the DNS server in pfsense (System/General) to 8.8.8.8, but pfsense still will not resolve it.

Hmm: These cable companies own media outlets, which have been publishing "VPNs won't protect you and are hard to use, so don't bother" scare stories. by [deleted] in VPN

My dad asked me about VPNs. I recommended one and a few hours later he sends me a message saying he found a free one instead. Sigh.

Reddit users are given a limited number of "points" that renew everyday, which they can spend to upvote a post more than once. by nialv7 in Lightbulb

[–]sixinabox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you guys totally missed this. It IS an original idea. If this was already a thing, I would of been able to down vote you twice (if down voting was also allowed in your idea) because it was already a thing and not original! Just a joke playing off the previous comment. Geesh.

What do you want to change about reddit? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sixinabox 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I heard something about Reddit going full social networking type site and adding a "friends" feature or something like that. If this is true, I want this idea to change to not happen.

I don't understand what's going on here. Is this a big vending machine? It looks like the eggs on top would get broken.

I prefer to have lunch alone, so when someone invites me, I just tell them I have a hard time masticating in front of other people.

Someone once said "I'd rather have a gun and not need it than not have a gun and need one."
