Forced to use my phone during a windows update which breaks my computer. My phone is shitty and slow. Google is full of unhelpful results. Youtube is showing nothing but political ads about ms-13 killing white people.

Truly 2024 is great.

Definitely check out this and some other entries on the tailscale blog to see how bullshit connecting computer A to computer B has become. I had to shut down my minecraft server for friends because my ISP won't allow port forwarding or static IPs anymore without an extra $100 a month. When I asked them why it's "because of piracy"??!?

Back in my day when your friend had DSL you had to use Hamachi to play on a friend's server
