Dumb TVs exist, and they’re 5x the price of smart TVs.

Ads and data mining subsidizes the hardware cost. If you want cheap TVs you get spyware and ads.

Routing takes place on layer 3 (ip) so destinations are ip networks and hosts.

Each packet you create has a destination IP. Your computer looks at your route table to see where it goes by matching the destination ip with each network. It will be sent to the most specific match first and your default gateway last.

If you’re default gateway is you’re vpn server via your vpn interface then you just need to add more specific route for destinations of interest through a different gateway (you’re router) via the physical interface

Raw disk access is a privilege in Linux, usually reserved for root.

You could have root change the permissions on the directory to allow another user or group write access.

goes to Google, on the raw network, and on the VPN.

You can’t “go” to a destination on two networks in a single request. It’s all packets on a wire, if it comes from two sources, it was two requests.

Unless you mean two different requests. As in while on the VPN everything is tunneled, and while not on the VPN it’s not, but this is the opposite of what the OP was asking for. He wants the VPN on for some use cases, and off for others. That’s split tunneling.

He’ll likely wind up with difficulties around trying to figure out which destinations he doesn’t want routed through the VPN, because there’s no way to do it by protocol, since routing happens on layer 3, not 4 or 7. He’ll likely need to know those address in advance.

Interesting. There’s no difference in my dialect.

One NIC is fine

Told my wife and kids they can run whatever they want if they don’t involve me. If you want me to help with computer issues then I’m installing Linux.

If you don’t want that, you better learn how to computer because you’re on your own

Canadian with a shitty mobile keyboard, that’s all.

Swipe keyboard. It picks random yours, and I’m exhausted from flying all day so I didn’t proof read.

Yes that’s called routing.

You don’t bind it to a NIC, you specify the destinations you want forwarded to each interface. Your VPN connection is just another interface.

If you’re looking for good docs, you may want to Google split tunnel vpn, and also bone up on your networking.

A few static routes should get you what you need

Pfsense is built on this, but it has some free software issues.

OpnSense was a pfsense fork from some of them original creators, that is free software.

Both are fantastic.

I can see this being a breaking change for some strange edge cases and (ab)uses.

The treaties the federal government has say they will maintain water infrastructure?

Don’t get me wrong, they should, and we shouldn’t leave people behind. I’m just trying to figure it all out

I want everyone to have access to clean potable water. But in my community, that’s the manicupalities responsibility, not the federal government. Genuine question, why is that different for first Nations?

Another genuine question. Why are so many first Nations without it, if they’re all seperate communities with separately managed water systems?

It very well could be these days. It could also be default settings that are better on Linux for certain activities. The network stack is highly tunable.

The majority of the Internet’s routing and switching architecture is BSD based. Historically it had the most stable and performant network stack of all the OSs.

I used it extensively at one job in a previous life when I was a network appliance developer. It was rock solid and lightning fast. Tried it as a desktop at home and had a terrible experience.

The little differences in the Unix commands used to drive me nuts as well…

It’s harder to freeze salt water then fresh water, do it’s not economical.

The most energy efficient method of desalination i believe uses a membrane and pressure to get the fresh water to one side.

But these aren’t even the biggest issue. The real question is what do you do with the left over brine? Desalination is not 100% perfect. You’re left with fresh water and a salty sludge called brine. It’s extremely difficult to dispose of without causing environmental impact

This pod cast is about someone who went through something similar, and ended up prosecuting.

See how negatively it affected their lives and decide if involving the police is best for you. I hope you agree that it is.

You may be preventing future crimes by stopping the behaviour early, even though it can be socially awkward to navigate this with a friend.

As good as eating.

Most are like junk food Few are like fine dining And a few are like eating food you hate at a friend’s house but you’re trying to be polite.

Overall I’d recommend experiencing it, but if you don’t or can’t no biggy.
