Kenneth Cruz67 said:I mean, even if someone else happened to jump on his Wi-Fi, they’d just be sharing the exact same IP address; it wouldn't change anything or affect the IP at all, I suppose.
And besides, most IPs tend to rotate every 24 hours anyway, don't they?
>>IPStack tools are notoriously unreliable here in the States, too—for me, it constantly bounces between three different states while I'm actually sitting in a fourth one. It probably just points to some local network hub or a central switching station or something like that, I guess.
That’s not even about getting an IP banned. Like I said, if you think someone's piggybacking on your signal, just check the router and swap the password. And honestly, a lot of IPs get blacklisted all the time just because too many people are hitting the same site through a VPN...
Those IP lookup tools aren't always 100% spot on anyway... might be right once in a blue moon, but don't bet on it. Plus, IPs flip around all the time, so you could end up seeing an address that used to belong to someone else halfway across the country.
And look, if that tracker says you're suddenly in Switzerland or Canada or something, you probably just have some app running a VPN in the background...
With a VPN, you're jumping onto a server in a totally different country or continent, so the IP stack thinks that's where you're sitting.
As for why your IP is blocked... just try rebooting your router. You might snag a fresh IP and then give it another shot.
If you're still worried someone's piggybacking on your WiFi, just swap out the password. Log into the router, see who's lurking on your network, kick off anything that isn't yours, and change the password like I said... simple as that.
Like I said before, it could totally be a faulty HDD or just a bad connection... then during boot, the system misses it and just moves down the priority list. You can always pull an OS install via PXE if you've got a server to grab it from.
Nah, doesn't look like much of a massive database to me... and honestly, looks like a site that isn't even playing by copyright rules, so they'll probably just get shut down eventually.
PXE lets you install an OS over the network instead of messing with USBs or DVDs.
Since you said this happens while you're actually using it, does that mean the laptop just restarts on its own and kicks back to the boot menu...?
If it's rebooting randomly and can't find any media or even the hard drive where Windows lives, you might be looking at a dead drive or a loose connection to the motherboard.
But let's not jump to the worst-case scenario just yet... try going into your boot list and disabling network boot. Make sure Windows Boot Manager is set as the top priority so you can see if it actually recognizes the drive or just keeps skipping down the list.
Also, if you're running in legacy mode, give UEFI a shot.
I mean, anyone could figure this out, but here's the deal for Thunderbird
Go to the "Windows" tab and make sure "Minimizing window hides to tray" is checked. If you want the damn thing running 24/7, check "Closing window hides to tray" too... that way it won't actually shut down unless you hit "Quit"
So, following the calls from the local emergency management teams, we finally got an agreement signed. This means folks living in those cities and towns can move around without needing those damn passes anymore.
They basically merged two counties together, so now you can hit the next small town over without any paperwork. Makes life a little easier, even if you still only get to go grocery shopping once every ten or fourteen days...
Some folks are stuck in their towns because they're totally isolated and need permits just to move... meanwhile, these other guys are out wandering wherever they want.
Not sure if this is even legit...
A woman who tested positive showed up at the local USPS branch, did her business, then posted online: "I have COVID, disinfect this office." Response from the USPS? They just shut the whole damn location down.

Probably true. Still think people like that should be stuck in quarantine instead of wandering around while everyone else gets grounded by the county...
Nicholas King said:So, here we go—the Secretary is claiming they’ve already issued nearly half a million passes, and he’s hinting at a massive surge coming soon since companies haven't even started sending in their group requests yet. Apparently, he thinks the whole pass system has been an absolute success and totally justified its existence.
He completely dodged the actual issue regarding restricting movement to specific police jurisdictions instead of just sticking to municipal boundaries.
I just think they’re obsessed with total numbers, when the real metric should be how many permits are actually active on any given day... since some are good for 14 days and others are just a three-hour window.
hollowfox3 said:The mToken provides Level 3 security, which is enough to get you into plenty of government services—things like land registry records, certain Department of Justice portals, or even your e-Wallet...
If you want Level 4 security, you’ll need a physical certificate or the one embedded in a modern ID card (though you'll need a card reader for that), which opens up every single digital service available to Americans. So, honestly, you don't really need the high-end stuff just to use your e-Wallet.
From the video, looks like the e-pass is totally fine. Plus, if you don't have that but you use mobile banking, you can just use the token.
People without any of that can just go through email. And if they can't even do that, they'll have to go in person, but then they'll be stuck printing out those passes.
Expect things to be slow at first... everything's gonna bottleneck once every business and local municipality starts rolling this out...
But once people get the hang of it, it'll settle down...
I don't think anyone here thinks people should be wandering around like the virus doesn't exist. We just want the rules to make sense and the inconsistencies removed.
A Washington, D.C. resident can stroll around Jarun without a second thought, yet I can't even head into downtown Zaprešić to handle business without having to explain my life story to some local official and praying they feel merciful. It's degrading.
Nobody is advocating for aimless strolling.

Already brought this up because it's the same deal here... Not everyone gets it.
Adam Collins4 said:But then again, cities have those specific restrictions—limited crowds in the stores, those two-meter lines waiting outside the shops... pharmacies are the same way...
Just watch your step with everything...
What's the actual vibe in the stores? What are people saying? Even the big-box retailers don't seem to have much meat left... or take something like German dough, crepes, or breadcrumbs for example...
I don't know, personally, we buy our meat directly from people we trust who raise it out on a farm... none of this processed stuff from corporate centers or whatever...
If it were easy, it would be... but hey, that's just how things are these days...
Yeah, I'm with you, things are definitely crazy right now.
And don't even get me started on the grocery stores—only one person can go in at a time while the line wraps around the building.
All I'm saying is, if you actually know how a tiny corner bodega works, you know exactly how much stuff they can even fit on those shelves in a tiny space. 😁
