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.

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

Re: DNS and shit [WIP]

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.

I just realised that this hasn't really needed updating in the last 7 years. the only thing I would add is that you can do things like this: $ dig @ns1.cloudflare.com wuxmedia.xyz +short 172.67.181.250 104.21.80.130 Which is to say that you can enquire about certain records from any DNS resolver... ...
