Debian (12/13): Wireguard VPN-client

So, I imported my connection-configuration provided from OPNsense Wireguard VPN.

The connection is working on an old (<10 years) Android Phone. But from within Linux (same config) I am unable to resolve subnet ip addresses. I can still access the internet though.

So; Am I using my origin connection to resolve foreign ips or am I using my VPN DNS? Why am I unable to access my subnet ip addresses on my linux machine?

The Linux machine is 6.13.30-arm64 with /etc/debian_version pointing to 13.0.

I have installed wireguard-tools and network-manager only. I have also wireguard installed but it doesn't make a difference and its usage is for hosting a endpoint.

Again: It works for other machines like intended. If of concern: I am running XFCE.

Men's sewing stuff: Engineering Opinion required (and what)

Hello last resort of the free internet.

I had to sew some stoff for my basement and realized it is a real (marksmen?-)ship. It is more complicated then cutting wood for some furniture.

Anyhow, I want to enlarge my machine's sewing step. That is, I want it to be able to sew more than five milimeters with one step. Maybe I should add a motor with more then 90 W (current Motor), but can this archived with gearing?

I do not care for sewing steps beyond <2 mm. Though my clutch allows any step-width fluidly. I am capable of deconstruct the machine and weld anything to it what is required. And make it in weight.

But my issue is figuring out what change would enlarge the step-width.

Even if your suggestion would change my settings, let me know your idea please.

Some pictures of the Internals:

(when issuing my hand down, the gearing enlarges into the direction of the arrow. But there is a ?Bobbing? on the left side. Imo this should be dependend on a rotation so I can enlarge the leverage nonetheless)

I would appreciate any tip!

I try to be in the middle of my own opinion and beeing inclusive. Sorry for stepping ppl on the toes!

My ~$2700 ThinkPad is worth $650 re Lenovo

Let's start with my mistakes:

  • I haven't followed LKML.
  • I assumed: Every ThinkPad has - overall - perfect Linux support, so this will as well.
  • I did look up support when purchasing but I was still not verifying on the LKML.
  • Edit: I trusted Qualcomm's marketing

So, I wanted a ARM-Linux laptop so bad. I heared about the Lenovo ThinkPad X13s in 2023 and I looked at marketing promises and (rare!) takes on it. Then there was the opportunity to buy this laptop fir a good price with the entire stats I would require for my next 10+ years. So I bought it.

In order to bake Linux on it I had to read up upon many things - I run it daily but have to accept some downsizes.

Anyhow, I thought this title would be interessting regarding Lenovo's and Qualcomm's "success" on ARM so that others may be aware that I am looking daily for the LKML and my model SC8280XP.

There is ONE SINGLE CONTRIBUTOR (there were two; The other joined Lenovo) allowed to have "elected and requested" documents in order to aid support. Despite their intentions (QUALCOMM) to support Linux. And I furthermore assume it hasn't have changed with the new Snapdragon X processors.

So, thanks to John Hovold and Linaro for doing an awesome job. I wish I could support you.

Old Folks Gaming: Senior Edition

Hey Guys.

After about ten years my father finally agreed to move to Linux. Because his devices I gifted him are not "supported for Windows 11".

And it is a blast - He loved Gnome for having his two games: Mahjong and Solitair.

Everything works flawlessly; He observed me updating Debian to trixie within an instant to get him his OneDrive back.

Anyhow: I would like to recommend some alternative Games he may like; Just to show off hisnnew operating system (of choice, yay).

If this isn't clear: He isn't gaming "Fullscreen". He chills for 30 Minutes with just his mice infront of the computer.

Any alternative to games would be appreciated as well.

Cheers

(UK-)English (and its dialects? Accents?)

~~So what's where correct? And what else to consider at your (English speaking) place?

Consider:

  • I want that.
  • I want this, too.
  • I want the same.

I'm asking this (and that) since I participated a discussion with only native speakers and it crushed me. Apparently I am the worst English speaker anywhere.

Teach me things, Lemmy. Pleeaase!

Post scriptum: You may prepend your comment with a common, international country code to don't fuck with me too hard.~~

I am struggling to participate in conversations held in English. Simple choices of words like such named are making me insecure. Which may contribute to the issue that other people have trouble understanding me. I am already trying to keep my sentences short and consume media mainly in English.

Additionally I hoped that countries with English as a second language could provide me with hints to simplify my spoken English.

I learned UK - English back in school; But this has nothing to do with real Englishmen speaking.

Current comments prompt me to revisit the basics of the language. Another task hard to put into daily life.

Men: I requested underwear recommendations and it was wholesome. Here is my limited feedback:

Almost all recommendations are unavailable in Europe.

I took my measurements and instead of dividing my metric size by 2.54 I applied 2.38. Due to avoidance of using my credit card for purchases in America I used Amazon to grab the Undies.

No refunds, but I could order through Amazon SAXX and BN3TH.

The former is huge. I have to pass them on. Still - the park for my things is of less space then BN3TH. I ordered XXL. The latter is already awesome.

BN3TH is more elastic then SAXX enabling to reduce size if necessay (in terms of leg-radius). Also, the Pouch got two layers which is more safe for circumcised dudes like me. But alignment is more difficult at first since grabbing has to be done more consciously.

SAXX has a - almost see-through - textile when stretched. But you can't; So SAXX appears to be way better for hot conditions or cooling requirements.

I didn't had the opportunity to review lululemons yet since I wasn't taken seriously and had to wait for the ordered pairs first.

Mostlikely I will order a 5-pack of L-sized SAXX after trying on lululemons, since BN3TH are made - to me - for the default-more packed guy. I require some drive to fill them out.

Anyhow, if you need more information - This is an anonymous platform.

Cheers and THANKS. Pouches have definetly aided my issues.

Post Scriptum:

Regarding the recommendations of underwear for gay people: The websites are way too unspecific. I asked in two adult warehouses for such but there was no experience with any of them. So I neglected those.

// Edit:

I am 192 cm and the largest part around my waist is 104 cm which I took for my measurement from.

Men's Underwear: Recommendation?

Hello Internet,

I have trouble with any underwear I ever owned. I am wearing XXL or size 8 underwear but they tend to make me uncomfortable in different matters.

Waering loose Boxershorts is okay to my wiener but my balls are to free. Also they tend to crawl upwards during the day.

Tighter Shorts have a good appearance and are my main underwear. But I struggle with them as well: My thing turtles uncomfortably making me insane so I can pull it into position. Also, they tend to screw at the bottom after half an year.

Asking this within my circles only earns sarcastic comments or the experience isn't shared. So I ask you: How do I determine the correct underwear for me and am I missing something? If you relate and have solved this issue, please recommend me some underwear.

// Edit:

Thank you for all the recommendations and input. I wasn't aware of the pouch feature. Researched all suggested brands and:

Ordered from overseas:

  • SAXX
  • BN3TH

Currently not deliverable:

  • Step One

Lululemon does have a store in the city, so I will go there next week to try those on.

WTF Poland: You Still Struggling

Today I got gifted four cans of Tyskie directly chilled from Poland. Its one of my Favuorites - but you still don't have Pfand.

You guys should step up and demand it immediately. Ecologically we admire + require you but still you don't require returing back aluminium cans. Nor plastic/etc. bottles. And I am assuming neither at glass bottles.

You guys should go onto the streets for 100% compatibility with your silenced Neighbours. Lets strenghten our civilian bonds <3.

Its like the requirement of catalyst after 1999. The snow at last was white(ish) again.
