Why not choose either?

I found an odd bug.

I tried creating a comment on a pc browser here:

https://lemmy.world/post/188235?scrollToComments=true

And had the endless circle.

Used Jerboa on android and it gave an error: "that language is not allowed". So I went back to the browser and chose english and it worked.

I can post on other posts, though.

I asked Claude AI and chatgpt4 and this is what they recommended:

CLAUDE v1.3:

It sounds like you may have an issue with your Linux network configuration that is causing problems when connecting to a VPN. Here are some things to check:

        Ensure the OpenVPN tun module is loaded. Run lsmod | grep tun to check. If it's not loaded, run sudo modprobe tun. This is required for OpenVPN to function.

    Check that your firewall allows VPN traffic. Run sudo ufw allow OpenVPN to open the OpenVPN port (1194 UDP). You may need to disable the firewall completely for testing using sudo ufw disable.

    Run ifconfig to ensure you have a tun0 interface when the VPN is active. If not, it indicates OpenVPN is not setting up the interface properly.

    Check for any AppArmor, SELinux or iptables VPN connection rules blocking traffic. You may need to disable these temporarily for testing.

    Try running OpenVPN manually to check for errors. Run sudo openvpn /path/to/mullvad.ovpn and look for any authentication or networking errors.

    Double check that your account credentials and server addresses in the Mullvad config are correct.

    Try running OpenVPN as root to rule out any permission issues. Use sudo openvpn /path/to/mullvad.ovpn.

    Disable any VPN killswitch you may have enabled. A killswitch could be blocking internet traffic when the VPN drops.

    Try other Mullvad servers to ensure it's not an issue with one specific server. Also try different Mullvad proxy settings if applicable.

    Reinstall OpenVPN and Mullvad to ensure no software issues. Then reboot and retest.

    If still no luck, it may help to temporarily disable NetworkManager while testing OpenVPN. Run sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager.service. Restart it when done testing.


  

One of these steps should help resolve the problem and get your VPN connectivity working properly again in Pop OS. Let me know if any of these fixes help or if you have any other questions! I'm happy to provide more detailed guidance if needed.

It seems like you're experiencing a common issue with VPNs on Linux where the VPN connection is established, but you're unable to access the internet. This could be due to a number of reasons, but here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

        Check your DNS settings: Sometimes, VPN issues can be caused by DNS problems. When you connect to a VPN, your DNS settings should be changed to the VPN's DNS servers to prevent DNS leaks. However, if this doesn't happen correctly, it can cause issues. You can try manually setting your DNS servers to a public DNS, like Google's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) or Cloudflare's (1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1), and see if that resolves the issue.

    Check your firewall settings: Firewalls can sometimes interfere with VPN connections. You can try temporarily disabling your firewall to see if that resolves the issue. If it does, you'll need to configure your firewall to allow the VPN connection.

    Check for conflicting software: Other network software can sometimes interfere with VPN connections. If you have any other VPNs or network tools installed, try uninstalling them to see if that resolves the issue.

    Check the VPN logs: Most VPNs will generate logs that can provide more information about what's going wrong. You can usually find these in the system logs or in a specific log file for the VPN. Look for any error messages or warnings that occur when you try to connect to the VPN.

    Contact the VPN provider: If you're still unable to resolve the issue, it might be worth reaching out to Mullvad's support. They may be able to provide more specific troubleshooting steps, and they can also check if there are any issues with their servers that could be causing the problem.


  

Remember to revert any changes if they don't help resolve the issue, especially disabling the firewall, as it's an important security feature.

Perhaps the hardware required isn't as high as the typical game since it's mostly desert...

Would be cool if you could fight other craft, participate in battles, play multiplayer...

Perhaps he means heic (not proprietary yet not used much outside of i-devices)

undefined> Also, you just said the Russians are the heroes you were referencing that were defending their country from imperialists who are doing all that bad stuff. I know that isn’t what you meant, but that is what you said. Might be worth an edit, if you care.

Ah, yes, I meant the russians are doing the evil things.

undefined> Basically, everything you just described is the natural consequence of war. That’s not excusing the Russians, but acknowledging that there are always examples of everything on that list on both sides in basically any war. I

Except the Ukrainians aren't intentionally striking civilians, raping, killing soldiers who have surrendered, castrating soldiers - we would have heard about it from the russians (though anything they release has to be treated with suspicion).

The russians appear to want to be labelled as "evil".

And so they will be, except by russian sympathizers, whether they admit it or not.

You want russia to win? Not enough rape, castrating, stealing children, shelling appartment blocks for you?

The ones right now (not 70 years ago) defending their country (aka the Ukrainians) from imperialists (russians) who are shelling civilians, kidnapping children, castrating soldiers, raping women. YHave you been keeping up?

If everyone else is a "reddit lib" then that makes you a rightwing raving loony, which, according to your comments, may be accurate.

As there are individual servers, if one server sold out users could move to others, and continue, no?

Except for his account, I'd bet.

What happens if millions of users migrate over?

Hopefully russia crumbles from within. They are doing everything possible to show that this is a battle between "good" and "evil" - the destructin of cities, kidnapping children, rape, castration, civilian deaths from distance and in person.

Because you expect them to tell the world and rhte russians when they are attacking?

Why does it seem that right wing governments are generally negative for everything except making money for the more well off?
