Shit, ask4? I think they were the isp when I was at uni about a decade ago. I'm sorry to hear they're still kicking.

If it's still the same as back then, all the dorms are essentially on the same lan and they're using Mac filtering at the gateway. Since this was before Https became ubiquitous this meant you could sniff other people's http requests.

What you do (what we did) was sign up with one device and setup a proxy on it. I think we used squid-cache. But anything that will masquerade the traffic as coming from that one device should do the trick.

A CD is a disk that is disc shaped.

I googled it on ddg. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, very useful.

You may be interested in a project called "wolf". Its goal is to run graphically accelerated containers using a Wayland compositor that uses gstreamer as the backend instead of a display. After that, wolf serves as your moonlight server. There are hoops to jump through if you're using Nvidia, and the software is very young. But I think it shows promise.

I haven't tried it myself yet, if you give it a go, let me know how you get on. 🙂

I did not expect to see an EMF meme on my home page. I probably should have, given this is the blahaj instance.

I'm excited about the future of this project. This lets you run gui applications in the cloud, all containerised, with no requirement to already be running a display server, and have it be fast and responsive.
