I think the expression is “Caveat emptor”, though it translates to “let the buyer beware”.

So Wong it’s right?

Although, I think safety matches are ones that will only strike on the rough side of the box, rather than a wall or chin stubble.

But I rather like the idea that they have matches that don’t burn all the way down. https://www.britannica.com/science/safety-match

He’s possibly the only reoccurring black character, and yes it is very much a product of its time.

In defense of the authors the Gauls are all depicted with large bulbous noses, the Romans with Roman noses, etc; all cariceturs. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caricature.

In the attached image you can see Obelix is also depicted as a “knuckle dragger” (at times). The character leading them is a Roman.

This second example shows the Vikings.

It’s an old joke updated for new technology … that’s part of what makes it clever.

It references the original joke (albeit in very small text)

The Asterix books frequently did something similar. https://cloud.wordpress.com/2022/02/17/asterix-and-the-historical-interpretation/

I remember the icon, but I never knew that was it’s purpose.

… I think they mean calcified, it’s how I feel at least.

Could you ‘purchase’ a free game to meet the rule?

It’s a bit sneaky that you can’t sell the items you’ve won.

This is neat solution, you’ll lose the laptop WiFi internet access though.

You can set the pi to connect to the phone WiFi by editing files on the SD card (using your laptop)

It’s ok, this game is AAAA so AAA will be ok. /s

Pi4 with 2TB SSD running:

• Portainer
• Calibre
• qBittorrent
• Kodi

HDMI cable straight to the living room Smart TV (which is not connected to the internet).

Other devices access media (TV shows, movies, books, comics, audiobooks) using VLC DLNA. Except for e-readers which just use the Calibre web UI.

Main router is flashed with OpenWrt and running DNS adblocker. Ethernet running to 2nd router upstairs and to main PC. Small WiFi repeater with ethernet in the basement. It’s not a huge house, but it does have old thick walls which are terrible for WiFi propogation.

How did people put these things on, I guess there’s a hinge* somewhere?

If UK is short for The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, wouldn’t UK be inclusive of NI?

As someone who is a UK national I did have to google this as I never remember the differences between GB / UK.

Ahh, on rereading perhaps you’re talking about NI people who don’t want to be part of the UK!

Latency in this case would be the time it takes for your device to ask the raspberry pi what IP address is www.google.com and the pi will reply to the device with the IP address.

I think you might be misunderstanding how the pi hole blocks adverts. It doesn’t filter http traffic by looking at the contents but instead has a block list of domains that server adverts. When a device on your network requests the IP address for a blocked domain PiHole just replies with a fake IP (or nothing, I’m not sure)

This link mentions typical request is 512 bytes or less. https://pi-hole.net/blog/2017/05/24/how-much-traffic-can-pi-hole-handle/

This link mentions 250 uses on a single pi hole. https://www.reddit.com/r/pihole/comments/5jpavc/how_many_users_can_pihole_handle_with_a_raspi_3/

If I understand correctly Pi hole works as a DNS service so I don’t think the bandwidth (100mb) is an issue.

You’re not routing all the network data through the Pi.

The issue is wether the Pi can run fast enough to process all your lookup requests.

I have no idea! I’m neither young or American 🤣

😲 I thought it was slang for “fixing”!

As in “Fixing to do x, y, z” which in my mind meant “I am preparing to do x, y, z”
