Re: Movies, Flicks, Films, Videos, cinematography

yup :D
classic film :)

We watched "The green knight" which was OK.
I may have googled a few reviews/explainers which helped make more sense of it than I was getting.
Great shots, good acting, weird plot (but then so was the book lol)

Re: EDC, gadgets and gear stuff

Thanks Slob I knew you would come in with some of that Apple Knowhow :D I have no idea about mosyle. I do Know that it hasn't interfered (so far) with my admittedly left field choices on stuff and method of install :D pretty sure it can be tweaked. We don't (for the moment) enforce a lot really. We ...

Re: EDC, gadgets and gear stuff

^ the display is nice - I've had the M1 I got from the company expenses scheme and the M2 next to each other and man does the M2 does some NITs in my highly scientific test.

Re: TV series

We watched "The English" on Iplayer. Thought it was very good. It was a kinda classic western with some more modern ideas over 6 episodes.
Loverly scenery and acting we thought was top notch.

I'll not pretend to understand all of this thread :D But I wsa listening to a podcast (cyber by VICE) and they were talking about ISPs trading data, with various organisations, which reveals the netflow data, which I presume includes your initial connection to the ISP - before you jump to the VPN?

Re: VPN and DNS Nonsense

Yeah I only d/l kids films anyway - then close the torrent once it's done. Hardly amazing security but not been hit in the 6 years or how long i've used it

Re: VPN and DNS Nonsense

I happen to have a VPS - so I use that with rtorrent - never had any DCMAs.
I d/l at ethernet speeds... then download back down from there to the home server to view on the TV. It does need a lot of maintenance though.
So yeah it's not perfect as anything would lead right back to me.

Re: /dev/null

Awesome Ivan! I was happy to point out what I thought was the start - but did not want to get the thread cutters out (I've never done it ) :D
Looks great.

Gutterslob, perhaps yes leave as the natural evolution of the thread. Definitely better broken out though - nice work !

Chronologically descending order of birth is still (currently) an acceptable reference to them all without bias :D

Passengers (2016)
Was a good, not too hard to understand, friday night family friendly film. Better with a couple of beers for full suspension of disbelief.

Another thing with DNS is propagation.
I watched a long time ago a video :

which is still, while rambling, is still the best video I've ever seen about DNS.
