So I've been known in the artist community for a while, going by several different names in several different subcommunities. In terms of expectations in precision, I'm not the most realistic, but I can visibly convey things well. My contributions are also communal, and the only expectations to those who want a piece of it all are that credit is given and that earnings made with the art by those with their needs fulfilled charitably give away those earnings.

Growing up, I've noticed a lot of people do their creative contributing in ways that one might say experimental. There was a popular cartoon that ended before my time but which I was able to watch the tail end of in the form of reruns, one called Home Movies. I'm sure several of you know it well. Most known for graphics that are very, erm, interesting. Like it looks like a first draft of Phineas and Ferb (and maybe it is). Nobody truly questioned it though. It was just there. It was looked back upon as being considered a "positive" thing. A lot of cartoons were like this (again, bringing up Phineas and Ferb here, along with Billy and Mandy, Regular Show, Chop Socky Chooks, The Simpsons, Ed Edd and Eddy, South Park, Angela Anaconda, Reboot, and Doug, all in their own ways).

Imagine, then, an independent, non-studio-affiliated hobbyist who, in a related manner, does not catch on to every factor.

Everyone suddenly goes into "roast mode" upon seeing it and hearing the context. "Leni" said an acquaintance of mine about my recent art project which is a part of a "life story" serial, "why did the person you commissioned to draw you and your same-age friends in your preteen years draw you wearing a ten gallon beret? It's not that big, unless you're all riding the subway from Paris, Texas."

"But, but Home Movies--"

"But that's Home Movies! My gal, people gotta learn. Sleep on it. Just not in the way you do there though, you'll get knocked over by some thug."

I get this a lot; the expectations are different in the two spheres. What, then, is a "good" deviation from normal creative precision, maybe versus a "bad" one?

So, I have a joke or you: "Why do elephants like to bowl?"

. . .

I don't f*ing know either. This was a joke on a Laffy Taffy wrapper that I read as a kid, but the answer was cut off. And I know you are like "Oh, have you tried Googling it, Sonnie?" YES, yes I have. I even emailed the company at one point in college to see if I could find the answer. Nothing.

I look at this as kind of like The Ring. You have seven days to spread this or some scary kid is going to climb out of your TV or something.

Edit 2: Fixed! Thanks to @just_another_person@lemmy.world for this github issue link.

The solution is in the last comment suggesting to set ManageForeignRoutingPolicyRules=no in /etc/systemd/networkd.conf

So I've got something I don't quite know how to find a solution for and I'm hoping this lovely community can help!

I've been experimenting with Arch (btw) with Hyprland to learn more about the install process, and linux in general, and to see if I like tiling window managers (I do).

I've installed this on a thinkpad I use for tinkering/learning, and the problem I'm encountering is that when I open up the laptop and the system resumes from suspend, the VPN connection is active, but broken, or maybe leaky.

What I mean by that is prior to suspending, with the vpn connection active, if I run curl ip.me, the result is the vpn server ip, Which is the expected behavior.

After resuming from suspend, when I run curl ip.me, I get my naked home ip instead of the vpn ip.

At first I thought I was losing the vpn connection, but when I check the status with sudo wg, it will show the vpn connection is still active, like so:

interface: wg0
  public key: pubkeyhere
  private key: (hidden)
  listening port: 38014
  fwmark: 0xca6c

peer: peer here
  endpoint: ip.endpoint.here:51820
  allowed ips: 0.0.0.0/0
  latest handshake: 7 seconds ago
  transfer: 8.07 KiB received, 3.77 KiB sent

I've tried searching for this to figure out what's happening, and I'm not finding anything, likely because I don't know how to properly query for results.

What I've been doing is just manually running an alias on resume that brings the vpn connection down, and then back up again with:

sudo wg-quick down wg0 && sleep 2 && sudo wg-quick up wg0

I've tried different variations on a script placed in /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep to no avail. I have verified that that the script is running properly. I tested first with echo "sometext" > ~/somefile for both pre and post and the script is executed on suspend and again on resume.

Script example:

#! /usr/bin/bash

case $1/$2 in
	pre/*)
		;;
	post/*)
		sleep 2
		/usr/bin/wg-quick down wg0
		sleep 2
		/usr/bin/wg-quick up wg0
		;;
esac

Despite this script executing what is essentially the same command as my alias on resume, my home ip is what results from running curl ip.me.

Other details that may or may not be relevant.

I've got a wg-quick@wg0.service systemd service that runs on startup to connect to the vpn.

System is Arch with Hyprland, iwctl to manage the wifi connection. I'm not using hyprlock. When I close the laptop it suspends the session, and when I open it back up it just resumes it, no lock screen or password needed.

I don't really understand what's going on here, and I haven't been able to find any information that helps me figure out what's happening or how to address it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: just wanted to add that I've also looked through journalctl and I haven't found anything useful (to me) there.

Sega has recently filed trademarks for Skies of Arcadia and its Japanese counterpart Eternal Arcadia, sparking speculation about a potential revival of the beloved RPG.

Quick video summary:

1. There's a few charities, Comic Relief and Kids Relief. They've done a few questionable things over years.
2. Such as commissioning a few educational games aimed at children, and then put the net profit gained from them to good use. ...The games are AFK brainrot with gacha mechanics and zero educational value.
3. Also the games are on Roblox! We were talking about net profit here. Roblox eats a huge part of the pie.
4. And the development house themselves? It was started by a few YouTubers and it all goes downhill from there.

From Monday, accredited journalists can speak to families about their ongoing cases, report what they see and hear in court, and quote from key documents – provided they keep those families anonymous.

Family courts determine cases that have profound effects on family lives, like deciding whether children should be taken into care or which parent they should live with.

Hearings are held in private, and while journalists have been allowed to attend since 2009 they have had no right to report.

Monday's change follows a two-year "transparency pilot" which began with three court centres and now covers almost half the family courts in England and Wales.

Using the pilot, the BBC has reported on multiple cases, including one in Cardiff Family Court where a young mother, whom we called Bethan, had to spend £30,000 to protect her young daughter.

Her ex-husband, the child's father, had been convicted of multiple paedophiliac offences.

The Family Court agreed he should lose parental rights over the little girl.

Bethan told us she thought the new regime was "fantastic news". She said "allowing reporting in the Family Court sheds light on issues that the public should have the right to know about".

Her daughter, she said, was now thriving.

"She has an empathy and sympathy for her little friends that simply couldn't have developed if she were being brutalised in the way that her father's victims were. Thanks to the Family Court judgement, she stands a chance at having a full and happy life."

BBC reporting of Bethan's case led the then-MP Harriet Harman to campaign to change the law on parental access – which is now under way.

In the future, no other parents in Bethan's position would have to go to court to remove parental rights from those convicted of the most serious paedophiliac offences.

I only speak cantonese at home, for most of contact with society, it was English, when in the US, or during the few early years of my life in China, it was Mandarin. (But now it's just English, since its the US)

And my parents are... not very nice parents...

Emotionally abusive for my entire life, and, during the early years of my life, used "corporal punishment", but only stopped because I got older and can defend myself.

But still constantly being emotionally abusive.

And deny that my (diagnosed) depression exists, while accusing me of "faking" it. While simultaneously threatening to hospitalize me.

Also my (older) brother (who also speaks cantonese at home) is a major douchbag, very abusive to me, especially when I was younger.

grandparents are passive agressive

Like, I kinda just hate Cantonese. I mean, almost every interaction in Cantonese is with an abusive person. And with how closely related Mandarin is to Cantonese, I kinda hate Mandarin too. There's just so much conservative culture that's attached to Chinese languages, everytime I hear someone talk in Chinese, especially Cantonese, I kinda feel fear, I feel like my parents are nearby and are yelling at me.

I mean, with English interactions, there's like half good half bad interactions

With cantonese, its like almost 100% bad interactions

So like... 🤷‍♂️
