and that's more or less why the US will lose a war of attrition.

So basically, I will be away from home for several weeks. Unfortunately, this became the perfect time for our home router to start acting out and factory resetting itself. We are awaiting a new router for replacement, but the time is tight.

My stuff is ethernetted in, so that connectivity isn't an issue - the issue is that I couldn't actually connect to the router to restore services even if it had internet by fixing all the settings including port forwarding.

What I would like would be the ability to have a VPN perhaps connected to my homelab, so I can hop on the router and restore the settings if this issue happens while I'm away. Any ideas?

Edit: I settled on Netbird. Thank you for your help!

All previous attempts by revolutionary communists to combat revisionism have resulted in nothing more than brutal torture and humiliation in so-called "struggle sessions", where the person would be subjected to the most heinous of treatment by youngsters.

Not any more!

We are now practicing an alternative method of liquidating the bourgeois headquarters — snuggle sessions!

With snuggle sessions, we will have all loving and huggy people in the socialist country cuddle the revisionism out of opportunists and capitalist roaders. Through constant and principled line snuggle, revisionism can be routed once and for all!

Uphold the power of snuggle sessions!

A chronic welfare crisis... has been unfolding quietly since the 1990s. The root cause? Rampant habitat loss and the relentless expansion of the blue gum plantation industry.

With their native forests destroyed, koalas are forced to seek shelter in blue gum plantations—a dangerous and temporary refuge. When harvesting begins, koalas risk being injured or killed as the trees they rely on are cut down. Those that survive are left homeless, with nowhere safe to go.

The landscape has now reached a tipping point. It simply can no longer support the koalas that depend on it.

Starving, emaciated koalas are falling from trees, being brought into care—many too far gone to be saved. And for those that survive, there is no safe habitat left to return to.

This travesty has been hidden behind closed doors for far too long. A comprehensive and transparent investigation is long overdue.

Sea monkey learns how to break free from its aqueaous jail and strangle you in your sleep

No matter how benign a man's sexual proclivities, there is, with all non-asexual men, a critical vulnerability.

There is a window along the arousal curve during which a man, if you interject and ask him honestly, will agree that he fundamentally deserves to be executed on the spot.

He will comply, often eagerly and without complaint, if you test this in a real world environment using a humane captive bolt-gun, provided you can complete the ethical negotiation before arousal drops out of the vulnerable window.

At first glance this fact, which is well established in the literature, seems like it has limited (though amusing) utility. However, what we have discovered through experimentation is that there are effective and reliable techniques to extend the window of vulnerability.

Further more, the extended period of vulnerability allows for much more complex negotiation and it has been found that subjects are actually in a highly suggestive state enabling direct implantation of all Field Expedient Psycho-Subordination Toolkits (FEPST) that we tested.

In this paper, we integrate our earlier work on Freudian Force Multipliers (FFM) with these newly emerging techniques to explore how predictable subconscious conditioning can be used to amplify all of the above effects and often provide the means to trauma-seal and camouflage instructive reprogramming for extended periods of time.

Disclosure: In order to secure funding for this research we have also made the work industry relevant by demonstrating how these techniques can be embedded in transformer matrices where they can remain dormant until sissy hypno is generated. We will not be exploring that in this research paper as it is the sole intellectual property of the relevant sponsor.

As they bomb Iran, Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are calling on its people to rise up against the dictatorial regime, which is shaken but still standing. Iranian authorities have a sophisticated weapon for monitoring the population: a powerful Russian facial recognition software — acquired in complete secrecy. Thanks to a data leak from Russian and Iranian companies, Forbidden Stories and its partners reveal the workings of this mass surveillance system.

Strikes on Iranian leadership are putting Tehran under unprecedented military and diplomatic pressure

Iran endured a day of unprecedented military and diplomatic pressure on Tuesday as US airstrikes pushed the death toll in the country close to 800 and the offices of the assembly of experts – the body due to select a replacement for the assassinated supreme leader, Ali Khamenei – were bombed.

It would be an extraordinary security lapse if it emerges that many of the 88 elderly clerics on the assembly had been in the building in Qom voting at the time. “There was another hit today on the new leadership, and it looks like that was pretty substantial,” Trump said at a White House event, although it was unclear what specifically he was talking about.

In Tehran, a building that is home to a body that mediates between Iran’s parliament and the Guardian Council of clerics and lawyers was also attacked.
