If you create a Java server, there are mods that let Bedrock players join. One is called Geyser, and I think the other is called Floodgate, but I’d need to double check.

You can set up a free server online through Oracle too, and using the whitelist, you can make it private too. The article I used is here if you want to have a look

ReVyndros too (formerly Vyndros)

On a post talking about modifying the body, you say you want a magic ring? Do I dare open the link? :o

Do it. Doooo iiiit…

I vaguely remember reading about that when I was younger. I don’t know if it’s true, but this is what I read.

The peasants and farmers were made to stand in the fields throwing stones at the sparrows, preventing them from landing. The thinking was that the sparrows would die from exhaustion, if they weren’t killed by the stones.

What actually happened was that the existing crops were either trampled or broken by the stones, and as the farmers weren’t working the fields, nothing grew the following year either.

Like I say, I have no idea whether it’s true, or if it was just 80’s anti communist propaganda, but it’s stuck in my head ever since.

How do you fit the kettle down the drain? ;)

Opening a twist off bottle top with your hands when everyone else thinks it’s a normal bottle top is a good one for a quick laugh

I’m still trying them out, but if they work as advertised, then AppImages. That’s mostly because I use my desktop and laptop pretty much equally, so being able to copy and AppImage from one to the other and keep going would be really handy.

On a similar note, if a computer dies, being able to just copy and paste them to a new computer, or run them from a portable drive would be great.

Try resetting the Transmission settings to default, turning off your VPN, and downloading a Linux ISO. If the problem stays, it’s possibly a hardware issue. If the problem goes away, turn the VPN on and try again. If the problem returns, the VPN is the issue.

I know you said you’ve tried other clients, but try them with the VPN disabled too, in case Transmission is the problem.

Good luck 👍

Thank you :)

I might be a bit slow replying. It’s already late here, and I’m going out during the day tomorrow 👍

If you’re taking any other meds, speak to a doctor before you try it.

I have a chronic illness that led to organ transplantation, and cannabis would interfere with one of my rejection meds. That would have caused me much bigger problems than the pain that I was trying to stop.

Unfortunately, cannabis has an almost cult like mythology around it. There are lots of people who will tell you that it cures everything, from mild pain to every type of cancer, and will even clean and polish your car 😉

I hope you find what you need. Good luck 🙂

Sorry if I’m being oblivious, but what’s BTN?

How does that work if your VPN exit point changes? I switch fairly regularly depending on what I’m trying to access, and wouldn’t know the IP address in advance.

This works if you signed in with your Microsoft account, are scrapping the old PC (or at least not using the copy of Windows), and are installing the same version of Windows on the new hardware.

During installation select the option for I have no activation key. Once Windows is installed, open settings and select the activate Windows option. Go through the activation troubleshooter and there’s an option to transfer the key from an old installation. Select the correct one based on whatever you called the old installation, and you should be set.

There’s lots of good advice in this thread, but there’s no point in pirating a copy of Windows when you already own one.

Off topic, but I read a book or short story once that was similar to your edit.

It followed a character who lived on a planet with a toxic atmosphere. At the end of every day, everyone would get into a personal chamber that took a complete copy of them, destroyed their body, then rebuilt it and added the memories back the next morning.

I can’t remember if it was specified or implied, but the gist of it was that the machine ripped the body apart to the molecular level while the person was conscious, but the snapshot was taken before that, so no one remembered the pain.
