  • I don’t have ths balls to kill myself, nor access to guns. Other methods tend to have lower rates of success, and a failed suicide attempt is a pretty scary thought. While unlikely, even shot to the head can be survived. Especially if you accidentally move the gun while pulling the trigger which I heard does happen, only causing severe brain damage, but not death.

    So yeah, I’ve got no balls and nobody else to kill me. That’s about it. Not worth the risk yet.






  • I know they do some hotspot restrictions over there in US.

    You should be able to get around it with something like TetherFi: https://github.com/pyamsoft/tetherfi (Android)

    It creates a legacy Wi-Fi direct group and runs a proxy server on the phone. You can then connect via the proxy in some programs on your computer (e.g.: Firefox).

    You can also run a proxy server in Termux. I use tinyproxy because it’s easy to setup.

    Both of these will also go over VPN if you have that connected on your phone, as it’s basically the app (proxy server) using internet on behalf of your computer.

    Alternatively you can also use socat for port forwarding, for example to a public VPN server. Then on the computer you could set up the VPN connection as usual, but replace the IP/Port with those used by your phone locally.



  • Good idea.

    You can still get the newest DD-WRT builds even on the WRT54G.
    That is a Wi-Fi router from 2002.

    Of course, the features are sort of limited. I tried the VPN build (on WRT54GL), but I couldn’t get the OpenVPN client to connect. I found some thread mentioning it may be missing something, but I don’t know if that’s the issue.

    Anyway, without overclocking I’d expect like 2Mbps. I mean, it barely handles HTTPS. Just trying to load the WebUI maxes out the CPU for several seconds if trying to use HTTPS.
    Perhaps it’s not missing anything software-wise, but it’s just so slow it times out during handshake.
    So I just put the std build on it in case it will be useful at some point.
