Their terms require a phone so yes, on their terms. Why would they make an exception for anyone?

Their captive portal requires wifi and thats all that matters. And why would they want to deal with paper agreements for WiFi?

You don't have to be a member to use WiFi, someone else could have given you the password if there even is one, so ya even if you did agree when signing up it would make sense to still require that.

I implement these kind of setups including a couple libraries and while I would have Ethernet ports available if within budget, I would not allow you to bypass captive portal, the agreement, or traffic filtering. I don't care what you are doing but I am required to try not to allow easy access to questionable content. If someone is doing something illegal it's gonna involve the library if you get caught (that's why the phone number but maybe they are just being shitty with it). Not worth the risk. Also a lot of those decisions are made by a board so being upset with the staff won't accomplish anything. Wifi is cheap, pulling cable can be very costly in comparison and depending on building type can be hard, damaging or, not feasible. Those ports could also be broken because people don't respect shit, that could also be the reason for their reaction.

This is all I got for you, good luck but if you want your privacy you're likely going to have to go somewhere else.

You can use it but on their terms. Your privacy doesnt mean anything to them, they are protecting themselves. Captive portal is likely making you agree to not abuse the service.

Also you're choosing not to participate which is fair but they don't need to support that.

He doesn't have to do fuck all. Of all the game developers he doesn't owe anyone shit. He made an amazing game that was his personal project then continued to support it for years when he didn't have to and never charged for added content. If you have a problem with the game that bad then find another one. Vote with your wallet. That said fuck the doxxers, everyone involved is just being shitty.

Play protect is fucking trash but it's something I guess

Well it used to be able to launch the assistant but they removed the only useful function it had.

Up and down preferably, anything else is just worse.

Otherwise overridable by user preference would be great.

So far. Given another chance I doubt it would be better.

Do you have an alternate nozzle to try? My first nozzle didn't last like it should and that threw me through a loop of checking everything thing else. I thought it was bed leveling issues.

That really is clever. Imagine if they put that kinda thinking into making their product better instead.

It's short for charisma and you use it if you have none.

Valheim for the same reasons

Using the firewall to force dns because the services were stupid enough to rely on dns to determine location. You would use a (usually paid) dns service hosted out of the wherever the content you want was and get access to region locked stuff like the US netflix library from abroad. This worked because vpns were being detected and rokus dns was hard coded so assumed to be trusted.

I don't know if this still works because I no longer own anything Roku and Netflix's service hasn't been worth that kind of shenanigans for a long time. It likely doesn't work anymore.

Edit: Unblock-US used to be such a service

One reason used to be to switch to a different region for Netflix, etc but I'm not sure if that still works, I haven't had to use a Roku in a long time.

It's great that Rustdesk exists but it is not ready for serious use.

I agree. I disable transcoding and use direct play. Jellyfin is a multi device library for the files on my nas.

I was on the author's side but then I read the back cover... it seems like it might involve penises.

The only plan I would believe he has is shitting himself and saying it was on purpose.

That guy has fuck all rattling around up there that why he preys on kids.

Just so you know that's mostly a worse/feature locked jellyfin. Jellyfin was forked from emby as emby-unlocked when they started doing stupid shit in the name of monetization.

For multi device jellyfin or Plex(which is terrible now compared to before) is way better, sure you can make Kodi do it but it's never been good at that

I have a multimedia server with jellyfin and even the dumbest clients can play off it some way.
