After working pretty well for several years suddenly NordVPN is returning an AUTH_FAILURE via OpenVPN, despite the same username/password working to login on their website. Has anyone else suddenly experienced this? Any clues? (other than stop using NordVPN [wink]/-sigh-) Thank you! UPDATE: NordVPN is (apparently) reading as...
UPDATE3: NordVPN changed stuff as regards OpenVPN access and apparently told no one (not even their support folks!). You must now go to their login page and pursue “manual setup” which apparently ends one with a new username/password pair. But it’s not made clear how long (perhaps one session?) these will last. Well, mateys i’m likely to kiss NordVPN goodbye for this. @#$!!! (there’s a reddit post about this, forgive me for offering a reddit link but there’s little else here it is: www.reddit.com/r/…/anyone_else_unable_to_login/ )
I don't know if other people have had this experience. When I try to sign up for a lemmy server in firefox it just hangs indefinitely. I've had to use alternative browsers to sign up for accounts. I hope this is something that will be fixed. Lemmy and firefox should be natural allies....
To mitigate spam bots, most lemmy instances require new user accounts to be explicitly approved. This may take a few minutes or a few hours. In the meantime, go for a walk, read through the official Lemmy documentation, or browse through all the available Lemmy Subreddits Communities while you wait.
I used to pick out mirrors manually and had servers very close to me, but I recently started using reflector to automate the process, but the mirrors it chooses is absolute dogshit and gives me really slow speeds....
i believe that is what will be used by reflector if it is enabled/started as a systemd service. but, i think, that'll not be used if you're just calling it on the command-line. in that latter case, i think you must supply (those) command-line switches on ...the command-line. (maybe)
ah. now armed with that extra information, i can only profess cluelessness. perhaps a "--verbose" option, well watched, would reveal something (maybe) good luck!
So sayeth suprabay . Here's hoping that it will reawaken refreshed in the near future. UPDATE: seems to be flickering awake as of UTC: Mon, 19 Jun 2023 15:44:19 ish (yet still no tor/onion)
Just checking the vibe. I see that this community doesn't have much activity, but maybe people are interested in migrating here amidst the reddit controversy.

NordVPN suddenly not working with OpenVPN? UPDATE: NordVPN maybe down currently.

What are your favorite AUR packages that aren't well known?
My personal favorite is powerdevil-ddcutil. It lets you control your desktop monitor brightness in KDE.
Reflector choosing the worst possible mirrors
