New to Wireguard and VPNs... how exactly should this work?
  • Connect with your phone and check your public ip address (you can do this by googling or using a site like WhatIsMyIP. It should show the same IP as if you were on your home network without the vpn connected.

    If that’s working you could try actually connecting to the minecraft server. It might be set up to not respond to pings. You’ll want to use the same IP to connect to it as you’d use if you were on the same network

  • Apparently my love language is installing on the laptops of people I really care about.
  • The issue I’ve run into is primarily compatibility with existing documents and being able to share it with other in industry. Like it or not, for business in the US, the office suite is pretty much the only document & spreadsheet application you can expect everyone to have.

    It’s not fair to ask people who aren’t interested in learning linux to deal with the incompatibilities between Libre/Open office and O365 because “I don’t like Microsoft”. If they’re pushing to move away from MS and understand this, I’d still probably recommend LibreOffice over OpenOffice because moving someone from a well maintained industry standard Microsoft product to a less supported and less compatible Oracle app seems irresponsible.

    Edit: The whole second paragraph is about OpenOffice and not OnlyOffice. Please disregard

  • Both of my parents heavily use O365 and I have to fight the urge to suggest linux every time they complain about automatic updates or weird microsoft integrations.

    Part of me really wants to try Fedora or Mint for them instead of the incoming windows 11 update, but it’s such a bad fit

  • It really depends on who is being helped and the motive for you “helping” them. I’ve had both really good and pretty bad experiences helping and trying to help people with various computer things. As with providing any kind of support, it’s important to get out of your own head and understand what the person your helping wants and needs
