I am mostly the same as the author of the link, especially when it comes to games where voice chat with strangers is a requirement. That said, I really like Deep Rock Galactic, because it’s collaborative and has a combination of culture and design that as long as you’re not actively malicious people usually see a bad player as an opportunity to teach, not to get mad. Plus, the game has pretty good communication tools such that quick in game chat messages are usually enough to get by when playing with randos online.

This is a long shot but have you tried clearing your cookies? I have had success against similar problems in that way in the past. Just need to clear the cookies for the website(s) in question that are giving you trouble I think

I played the demo during Next Fest and bought it day 1. Still working through it but it’s a blast!

Seems like you have a good alternative that doesn’t require a script, but for tasks like this I like to recommend the book Automate the Boring Stuff with Python. It’s free to read online, and if I recall correctly has essentially exactly this task as one of the exercises.

Huh, nothing super jumps out to me as an obvious tell, but the last bit is talking about some weird stuff with NTFS. Do you have a drive with Windows or formatted by Windows mounted maybe? Something could be up with that drive, or if you’re using it for something important to the system that could be a problem. You can just follow the recommendation in the log and use chkdsk on it but that could potentially be destructive to the data on the drive so be careful and make backups if needed.

Is there anything in the journal? If you’re not familiar, try something like journalctl -o short-precise -k -b -1 and then look for anything weird.

In this how it is time for Project Zomboid, which other than the zombies respawning is really hitting my middle school zombie apocalypse itch. So much so that I am thinking of rereading World War Z!

Okay looks like your format spec should look something like 'bv*[ext=mp4][vcodec!^=av01]+ba[ext=m4a]/b[ext=mp4][vcodec!^=av01]'. Single quotes needed to keep shell expansion from fighting me, not sure if that will be an issue for you. You may have intended this, but the extension restriction does mean that you’ll sometimes skip “better” formats like VP9 if they are webms or something, and you can specify an output mux if that is what you are trying to achieve.

I think you would want to include [vcodec!=av1] somewhere in your format specifications. Let me try it and see.

No particular experience with the VPN issue so feel free to completely ignore this idea, but if you do have to stick with something resembling your current solution it could make sense to put it in a VM or container so that the process of rebuilding it is not so burdensome.

Not sure if it would technically count, but it’s giving bill of attainder for sure.

Maybe also add -v for verbose? I just tried it on my admittedly very different EndeavourOS system and the original command started right up downloading a video

Meanwhile I’m out here like “wow I hope I submitted my receipt correctly and do not get banished to the shadow realm”

I have not used T-Mobile specifically but I did try out a 5g home internet product and one thing to look out for is that trees can interfere with your signal, so make sure there’s not trees between where you’ll put your access point and the towers. If you’re in the northern hemisphere and the leaves have fallen also keep in mind that the signal could be affected more when the leaves come back.
