Because now you can just use Linux or BSD. That wasn’t the case when Linux was developed.
So it only really makes sense for special cases - like Huawei’s new OS for phones (they cannot use Android), or Google’s attempt at a new kernel for Android too (they want to escape the GPL).
Mullvad was already forced to stop port forwarding though.
It sucks as my shitty ISP doesn’t allow port forwarding, so I literally used it for hosting video games.
They blocked Github before - https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-50232902
So it’s not surprising.
It’s gonna be rough when they come for the VPNs like Italy has though.
Personally I’d love to see more of a living world like Ultima VII, Oblivion and Dwarf Fortress Adventurer mode.
Overall it greatly expands the number of players though, even for niche games.
Like I found out about Shadow Empire after playing Stellaris a lot and then finding Dominions 6 as another 4X game, and eventually Shadow Empire.
Shadow Empire (and Dominions for that matter) have a much smaller budget than Stellaris, but they are excellent games that I only found out about after enjoying the genre.
It’s good, but I wish it were even more like X-COM with loads of deaths and managing a roster of heroes rather than just a small party.
Especially since BG3 has done the small party adventure thing so well.
Shadow Empire without a doubt. Practically a one-man team, and yet a better logistics and supply system than any other game out there.
Shadow Empire - best strategy game I’ve ever played.
It’s more of a tactics game than an RPG really.
Like D&D X-COM.
I think the US you have to use your American one if you have it, no?
A lot of countries have that rule.
No. Why worry about things you can’t change?
This has already happened. Just the niche communities haven’t migrated away yet.
Yeah, for both OpenVPN and Wireguard.
On Linux you can do this with full control via network namespaces. I use vopono to automate it - https://github.com/jamesmcm/vopono
But if you can afford it I’d recommend paying for Proton’s services as they offer a lot together, or a low-end VPS (where you could do it yourself, although be careful to find ones that don’t ban hosting Wireguard, etc. for example). Both are really useful if you want to test making something local available on the Internet e.g. ports for multiplayer games or a webserver prototype.

I never tried the Bose ones, they have great reviews too though.
Yeah, it’s a shame for passing on books I guess - like my dad had loads of books by Hugh Cook, an obscure fantasy / sci-fi author, and they’re out of print completely now.
At least in the future digitisation should stop that completely though.
Kindle - all the books, all the time.
Sony WH1000-XM3 (I guess newer models are still good) - excellent noise cancelling, perfect for flights
Steam Deck - play almost any games, anywhere, and with a full desktop mode too.
In the past I’d have put the Acer Aspire One, I loved the netbook form factor, now I use either the Vivobook or Steam Deck like that.
The Aeropress is also great for quick, simple coffee.
