i don’t know what “bazinga freaks” means; but i’m wondering if you’re referring to all of the off topic responses in this thread because holy fuck, does no one here follow topics?

I also have this question. Except it seems to me like hexbear is full of liberals not reactionaries.

i would have guessed teenage libertarians based on the juvenile humor and strong coordination to derail liberal topic threads

I wonder how many times it takes for a judge to get tired of sending you too jail for contempt over and over again for refusing to say yes. Lol

It took me a while to comprehend hexbear and I almost didn’t want to bother because hexbear looks and feels like another 4chan to an outsider; I can understand where they’re coming from.

i haven’t visited 4chan in almost 20 years and i stopped hanging out at reddit last month because it got too wierd; i can’t image how fucked up 4chan is by now.

this sounds more like network problem than a linux one; but since you’re using linux w/o an internet connection, you’ll have to use the tools that usually come with Linux:

start with basic information. see if your computer has an ip address and who its primary gateway(s) is/are

ip a
ifconfig -a

if you see no ip address preceded with the word “inet” these commands (127.0.0.1 doesn’t count); your computer doesn’t think it’s connected to a network and the source of your problem is somewhere with either the hardware, driver or mint itself.

if you do see an ip address with the word “inet” in front of it; then use that basic information to start troubleshooting; these commands are a shortcut; duplicate information; and should be run in order:

for i in $(netstat -rn | grep ^0.0.0.0 | awk '{print $2}') ; do ping -c 3 -W 1 $i ; done
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then cat /etc/resolv.conf ; traceroute google.com ; fi

this command provides duplicate information but provided here in case mint has really weird packages on it

for i in $(route -n | grep ^0.0.0.0 | awk '{print $2}') ; do ping -c 3 -W 1 $i ; done
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then cat /etc/resolv.conf ; traceroute google.com ; fi

if neither of the last 2 stanzas worked, then your computer doesn’t think it’s connected to a network that has internet access and you need to figure out what’s up with your network or fix routing on your computer.

i use the same case for my own wifi ap/internet router & firewall/nas; it doesn’t work will with pata drives if you have too many sata like me.

Older than most fediversers and I think the fact that they’re still working at providing me internets and backups says something. Lol

make periodic backups of your gmail account content on your own computer(s) and setup auto responder on gmail to use a new email address; easy peasy
