Do any of you use Ground.news? It's pretty great at finding multiple sources of information on the same topic and helping to compare biases. Sometime in the not-too-distant past they stopped including articles from RT.com. I'm not really sure why. I found it really helpful when people would post from the Russian government news agency and show them other sides of the story, or when they actually posted decent stuff, share it from something that isn't so often crap.

so if you have some reason to want such a thing, well I guess it exists. github.com/chep/copilot-chat.e…

the Lousiana Pine snake is making a return

I have an old Linksys router which I have read is quite "hackable" for setting up a VPN with custom Linux firmware (tomato, etc.). Everything I have looked up on it, however, seems to be about creating a VPN so that you can access the internet from anywhere in the world, but utilizing your home IP address.

I want to plug a wi-fi router into my internet gateway, and then have any device in the house that connects to that device be using a vpn to show location as somewhere else. (I.e. keep HOME, Home_Guest and add a new CANADA SSID to choose from in the house. My main use case is so that I can switch APs using the infrared red remote for my SmartTv and watch live streaming of our local baseball team on my brothers' MLB.TV account (free with T-Mobile Cellular service) where it blocks local IP addresses in hopes you'll pay for the silly cable package in order to get the RSN.

Am I barking up the wrong tree? Should I be looking for a different solution, or am I just searching the wrong terms? Any particular VPN provider you'd recommend for something like this?

I was recently unable to find a particular journal article I wanted to read that was referenced in something else I was reading. I only could find an abstract on Google Scholar, and nothing at all on Z-lib. I was able to get a full copy by just emailing the author at her university (I guess its true that most of them will give you a PDF if you ask. they are just glad SOMEONE is actually reading their work). But now that I have it, I fell obligated to share it with the world, the question is, where is the best place to put it?
