  • If I had to take a wild shot in the dark my best guess is that your router's upstream connection settings are a bit messed up and whenever your ISP gives you a new ip dhcp is taking a long time for whatever reason. You could try to pay attention to if your outgoing ip changes whenever this happens https://www.showmyip.com/

    I guess also I'm assuming you're using a router with a built-in either cable or fiber modem? If you have a separate modem you might want to see about resetting it as well.


  • Wow that is fucking bizarre.. this isn't using powerline networking (ethernet over your power system via little wall sockets) or anything like that is it?

    I'd definitely start with a factory reset of your router. Some routers have a little pin you need to hold down with a paper clip. With others you'll have to do it from their web interface...

    You can usually get to the web interface by entering your default gateway in a browser. Something like http://192.168.0.1 or http://10.0.0.1 are common. It might be written on the back of your router. You can also usually find your default gateway in your connected network settings pretty easily: on my android phone it's just called "Gateway".

    Once you're in the web interface you'll probably need to put in login info which is almost always written on your router. Then navigate that hellscape until you can do a factory reset.

    Also if you're in the US and have a router provided by one of the big ISPs like Comcast, Verizon, Frontier, etc you're almost certainly renting your router for like $10 a month from those bastards. So call them up and make them fix it or get you a new router if they can't figure it out. You might as well try this before spending money buying a router. I saw your other comment that you've actually bought this router yourself. Resetting it might be slightly more tricky since you might need to configure the modem settings a bit, but it's usually pretty easy. Probably worth looking up and downloading a pdf of the manual for your router before you reset it though in case you need to read it without internet.

    Sadly this approach is very likely impossible to block. It's much more computationally intensive for google, which is why they haven't done this in the past, but it is essentially impossible to block if done well.







  • For a filemanager try out nnn it takes a bit of getting used to but it's very elegant and has a lot of clever little quality of life features. I use pulsemixer for volume and ncmpcpp + mpd for music. I like this cli calculator. It works basically as you'd expect and you can use . to mean "result of last calculation".

    I guess I'll also plug my calendar program lol:

    I wrote this calendar over the last few years. Pressing enter on a day allows you to write a note/journal entry for that day, which can be previewed quickly in the calendar. You can also add keywords like "appointment" which, if they exist in a note, will change the color used to display that day:

    Show

    I've added various other features over the years like a help menu (press ?) and mouse support. There's only a few minor things left I have planned so it's mostly a "finished" project which is nice.

    Incredible! That's pretty much what I was gonna say. Might throw this dockerfile in the extras folder.

    Yea the hexbear specific stuff basically boils down to the taglines, the emojis, and the header in home.tmpl. There's quite a few things I could do to make it a lot easier to use for other lemmy instances ... there's not a lot of configuration right now, but I tried to leave a lot of comments in the code.

    It's a "d&d" podcast, but without marvel vibes some of big ones give off. The world is very creative and feels more like a fairy tale than your standard lotr style fantasy, it's got subtle sound effects and music edited in, and the dm calls himself a socialist (okay he's certainly not an ml or anything, but the show isn't full of cringey anti-communist tropes).
