Be careful of dualstack and IPv4-only VPNs. The client can discover and advertise the real IPv6 address, even if adequately firewalled. I'm not sure if gluetun addresses this risk.

edit: this should be considered a risk even if you don't have IPv6 support today, as this could be enabled by your ISP in the future, then automatically enabled on your network by your router.

Some civilized countries have a process whereby partial rent can be legally withheld/deducted, incentivising them to fix it quickly. Less civilized countries require you to engage a lawyer and risk having your rental contract terminated unilaterally.

You want to cut my hair for cheap? No, I am going to stab myself in the eye with the scissors. Haha, you lose.

Seriously though, tariffs can help (as part of a bigger strategy) to develop and protect important industries. You probably want a surgical approach in applying them, though.

If any of this actually happened (unlikely), I'd expect the US to start a very long slide to irrelevance.

Can confirm. I've been using Linux for nearly 30 years... I don't post questions on forums. Bug reports for OSS projects, on the other hand...

Who cares?

My company's 9,000 CentOS machines and over 100,000 containers now mostly run Amazon Linux or Alpine. Rocky Linux was preferred by some, but we led the way and the rest followed. Our final licensed RH systems will also disappear this quarter (legacies of a DC-centric era), and we will be free of them.

It was inertia that kept us with RH, but their bad faith moves kicked us into action. We now have better security tooling and processes all around, too.

Good riddance, Red Hat (and IBM, until your next acquisition and corporate strangling)!

Welcome to the world of Carrier Grade NAT. 100.64.0.0/10 is reserved for this.

If you are lucky, you also have an IPv6 address. The catch is you need IPv6 on the client-side too.

A VPS or similar running wireguard and a proxy might bridge the gap.

It might also be possible to ask your provider for some port forwarding. Probably not, but check anyway.

Good luck!

There is a good chance that there are A-W, Y and Z social media companies too. Some may be legit (eg. marketing on existing social media platforms), and others more for trademark squatting.

A whale, or possibly a bowl of petunias

Alcohol does have an effect, as everyone will attest, but there is also an effect to arriving home, cracking open a cold drink, and relaxing for a while. It may not work for all, of course.

I have a NA beer that tastes almost identical to its alcoholic brother, and there are definitely similar results from a single beer..

The good thing with the NA version is that I sleep better and can snap myself out of the relaxed state if needed. It also makes it possible to mix & match at social events, so that I don't over-do it.
