Yes you can!

As you said, it’s got everything to do with routing and you don’t know how to do that yet.

Now’s a great time to learn!

If you’re on a time crunch, go ahead and use network namespaces under network manager to set up something like what you want as another user suggested.

If you have time to learn about the firewall and routing table rules, put on your wire rim sunglasses, pop a jungle cd in and crack open Linux Firewalls or some such book for nerds.

Nah, anything will work fine.

Just a quick question, are you sure it’s the cpu that died? Those ivy bridge (?) chips really seem to last. I’d be surprised if it was the cpu and not the motherboard or power supply of something.

You have one of the nicer fourth gen chips. It would probably be worth it to take it to a computer shop or something and have them try to boot it with a good board.

If it’s still kicking, those motherboards are cheap as heck. The ddr3 is cheap too.

No reason not to keep it around to run a file server/seedbox/Jellyfin server/whatever.

I don’t think the thing about the ballots has been true for a while. I didn’t pay attention to it because I’m not “in it to win it” as you might condense the position, but there’s only eight states in which they’re not either on the ballot or have the official write in seal of approval.

So, they actually could win! It’s not mathematically impossible I don’t think. Barring faithless electors, but that might cut a little too close to the bone of actually recognizing that our votes are largely meaningless under a system which is designed to keep the majority from power…

I have been doing the work. Not always for psl, both because I’ve been doing it longer than they existed as a party on my own radar and because I’ve developed from a disillusioned liberal into a communist over that time, but for at least sixteen years I’ve been politically active outside of elections and concurrent with them at a level so local it blurs the line between political praxis and just helping your neighbors.

I am not expecting people to vote psl. Psl isn’t expecting people to vote psl! The party itself treats the electoral campaign as a base building operation rather than a way to take power and a way to heighten the contradictions.

I also think an end to genocide is a legitimate policy. This tea though…

It might not be best to bring up turning the military against Americans as an indictment and motivator against trump. People might remember the military cracking anti-genocide protester heads under Biden and say “hey, wait just a minute!”

There’s two things I’m noticing this election season, and I’m not trying to hang the first thing around your head although you can wear the second one with pride:

There’s a strong undercurrent of fascist collaboration a-la niemollers famous poem. It doesn’t matter if the military are out there fighting anti genocide protesters, liberals would never be at the anti-genocide protest.

Everyone except for my people and my supporters are a foreign op, a plant, a secret member of the other major party, a spoiler or just acting in bad faith! This is a real bummer because it means that not just is it harder to talk to people because you gotta build trust for two days before they’ll entertain the possibility that you might have a real commitment to the ideas you’re talking about but also that the person to person connections that a communist society is predicated upon are breaking down even more.

If we can’t trust, respect and understand each other, how can we ever live in a society free of borders and hierarchy?

So my civility is false, nothing I say is in good faith and you’re just here for the laughs.

what is my ideology?

Oh you saw desktop like a desktop computer, I see now!

From your perspective what would constitute a good faith argument for me to make?

I’ve tried to be civil and respectful even when I’m being treated with veiled insults and direct baseless accusations even when you finally end up appealing to your viewpoints popularity.

Doesn’t this seem a little beyond parody to you?

Psl does represent a change in tactics I think. Their focus on organizing normal people instead of grabbing at the reins of power held by liberals or hyper focusing on campuses is different from the communist organizations of olde.

Nope.

Tbh I would probably never fix it if that worked. What’s a little dongle between friends.

Yes . Local/bin, good looking out.

Does your which program name report the right one?

Can you put it in the ~/bin or something and modify the $path to go there first?

I was asking the op what desktop environment they’re running, in response to their question

So, are there alternative programs to Kodi, ideally better suited to desktop usage or extensions I can install to make it work properly?

Kodi seems to be the wrong choice for what they want to do, but zeroing in on the right choice needs more information.
