Although wikipedia has that as the origin several other internet sources suggested a pagan pre christian origin

Which one though ? There’s literally 4 forks of infinity called Eternity coming up on obtainium

Jerboa is on Fdroid, but it’s not good I’m afraid. The keyboard bug is maddening.

Thanks, appreciated.

Edit

I assume you mean 1.35gb of network data per day ? As opposed to per minute / per second etc

What’s the hardware and network demand like ? I’ve been vaguely thinking of doing so myself.

Sure but that’s true of any packaging system. The .deb or .rpm you just downloaded off not-a-scammer-honestly.com could just as easily be malware.

That was in 2018…

The AUR has the same risks as adding a ppa to a debian tree install, or downloading an rpm from a website.

If it’s not in the official repository of your repo treat with caution

Not had any run-ins with turnitin I see

Your odds of getting caught are extremely low, but if you are you will be deported and have your visa cancelled (as an Aussie our border guards really do suck I’m sorry). I genuinely wouldn’t risk if it you’re moving here. If it was just a holiday and you didn’t care too much about getting banned then sure, but definitely not worth risking a work visa on.

The lowest risk way is to put it on a cloud drive and download it on arrival in Oz.

Both Mullvad and PIA are on AUR for Arch, and they both have .deb packages for debian tree. Mullvad has an .rpm for redhat

Liar, I shot first. You were third

Windscribe at $3 per month is slightly cheaper and less dodgy than PIA. I left PIA for Mullvad when Kape bought them. They’re very questionable based on my (then) research.

It forwarding opens a port direct to your system from the vpn ip.

So if your internet address at your router to your ISP is 1.1.1.1(which NATs it to your PC address on your lan) and the vpn exit address is say 10.10.10.10

Then when you port forward a port, say 443 (you wouldnt) then any request to 10.10.10:443 would then go to 1.1.1.1:443 and then to your pc on your lan.

In short it allows a direct connection through the vpn

Edit

Technically that’s slightly incorrect,

packet goes on 10.10.10.10:443 but it goes to the PC directly through the vpn tunnel. The port it goes through the 1.1.1.1 router to the PC on could be anything, it won’t necessarily be 443. It will be whatever the vpn is set to use

That’s interesting - is it only mods who can see that or is there a publicly viewable way ? If mods only is it mods of any federated server or just your “home” instance ?
