“shaking my head my head”

I suppose what I could do is download a supported image (like OpenWRT) then get the image layout details from that in order to build my own image.

I know I’m going about it the hard way but it’s something I don’t mind learning.

I’m familiar with writing images, but I’d be crafting it myself since there’s no official one from Alpine Linux for the specific SoC.

I’m simply interested in running Alpine Linux on it.

It’s exactly that, I’m simply interested in running Alpine Linux on it.

Have you confirmed that with something like https://www.dnsleaktest.com? DNS leaks are common so it’s good to check.

What do you do if your hardware is housed at home with crappy residential upload speeds?

It’s a genuine question because I’ve settled for hosting on Storj, but because my friends and family can’t be bothered to connect via its client I’m running a WebDAV rclone proxy on a VPS over Tailscale. So not only am I paying for the storage itself, I’m also paying for transferring the data and on top of all that, it defeats the point of Storj being P2P from and end-user perspective.

God this is a fantastic way to explain climate change

Those websites (and tons of others) will tell you who your ISP appears to be. Whether or not a service considers it a datacenter isn’t set in stone, but usually it’s easy to tell based on what’s shown there.

Edit: If you’re getting the captchas it’s probably because you appear to be on a VPN.

Are you familiar with web development by chance? Can you see anything in your browser’s developer tools like failed XHR/fetch requests? I’m kind of wondering if they’re doing something specific since you said traffic is flowing as expected on other websites.

If your VPN exits from a datacenter (common with VPN and cloud providers) it could be that while their website wasn’t smart enough to block you, the server the content streams from is and is refusing to stream the content. This would probably show up as a failure in the developer tools (HTTP 401 Unauthorized, some JSON with an error, etc).

What does Wireshark or tcpdump show on any relevant interfaces?

To me it sounds like they want to host a store on Tor or i2p considering it’s typically recommended to disable JavaScript while browsing those networks due to security concerns.

I’ve done this with Tailscale and a VPS running WireGuard on one interface and Tailscale on another on Alpine Linux. I just set up routing so that any Internet traffic coming from tailscale0 is masqueraded/NAT over the wg0 interface. It took me months of screwing around to figure it all out, but I can provide all the necessary commands here if anyone wishes.

It should be generic enough to use with any two interfaces given one is your “internal” VPN and another is some other VPN (probably from a commercial offering).

Completely agree here. If I do order delivery and it’s a third party delivering I always tip a fortune because I know otherwise they won’t care — and yet it still comes back nasty and cold.

I’m kind of the opposite. The only places that tend to have their own delivery drivers now are pizza joints.

I cannot stand DoorDash, the delivery always sucks but I really don’t blame the drivers. The restaurants that say “we deliver” but then offload that shit to DoorDash, take 50% of the tip piss me off the most. And now the food is nasty because some dude in his car is working up a sweat trying to deliver 16,000 other orders at the same time.

Have you never smelled your car after picking up food? Hell I rarely drive but I’ve done short trips where all I’m doing is picking up food and having it in my car 20 minutes max; even the next evening the smell lingers in my car.

In fact my wife had to put carbon-based air fresheners in her car because she’d reheat steamed vegetable then eat them in the car during her lunches at work.

How is this hard to figure out?

Maybe they can’t think because of all the mind control. Catch-22

💯 This is the true answer

These are great when you’re dependent on a “parent” LAN for internet access but want your own network away from it. Bonus points if you have VPN running transparently on the travel router to keep traffic private from the parent network’s operator.

Right, and I came here to work for some reason
