I do a little bit of everything. Programming, computer systems hardware, networking, writing, traditional art, digital art (not AI), music production, whittling, 3d modeling and printing, cooking and baking, camping and hiking, knitting and sewing, and target shooting. There is probably more.

  • Make good connections with people you trust internationally. If it really comes down to it, between friends, people who care could work together to set up SOCKS5 tunnels or some such to walk around it pretty cleanly, but you would really have to trust whoever you give credentials to since they would be using your internet connection for whatever. Could also straight up just install the OpenVPN server for this.

    Once or twice I have opened a tunnel to friends on one of my servers through a bastion host - any outgoing traffic from the server goes through my own VPN, so it wouldn’t matter if they couldn’t access a VPN in their country.

    For anyone who doesn’t care to learn, which in my experience is the vast majority of all people, not much can be done. Even the people I meet who say they do feel that they care deeply mainly just like to be loud about that, but never actually put in the work to learn how to do something as simple as use ssh -D, let alone learn how a proxy actually functions.

    I suppose the best those in the know can do is to make it clear that they do know. Should friends actually begin to care, then they will know who to go to for possible solutions.

    It was called “Event Calendar”. It was partially broken as the Dev neglected to update it with changes for the google api for calendar sync there, but the weather info and everything else worked great. Noticed that it is not compatible with plasma 6 since updating so I’m on the lookout for an alternative.

    Ah, well - there really aren’t many details. The terminal emulator is tilix and the theme is just Breeze-Dark with the Gruvbox-Plus-Dark icon pack. Codium is using the Gruvbox-Dark-Hard color theme extension, and for discord (not shown) I wrote a bunch of custom CSS which is getting injected by BetterDiscord. The panel with the fox is a picture album widget which just points to a PNG of the fox that I designed and vectored. The browser is Vivaldi with a custom theme and layout I also made.
