I have a friend in Russia who loves watching animal videos and those silly video essays on YouTube and now YouTube is blocked in Russia. I have a spare netbook with Linux Mint and I've been trying to set up an OpenVPN server for her using this guide and I've tried a cracked version of OpenVPN Access Server, but I guess this whole thing is above my pay grade – the client on my phone still won't connect.

What the easiest solution to this situation? Should pull the trigger and install Debian because all those easy setup guides are targeted to Debian? Is there is easier alternative to OpenVPN with an android client?

So what's the party line on the whole headmates thing? in c/askchapo@hexbear.net

I'm saying that kids who think they're sharing their body with the soul of their aborted siblings are a laughing stock even among the people who have Minecraft YouTubers living in their heads.

The problem here is that it's a fairly diverse community, with some people pushing incredibly out there stuff and more "conservative" elements that try to invalidate the former and out fakers. There is probably a conservative version of the headmate thing many people here would find plausible.

Also, from LGBT wiki :

Rainbowgenic: Rainbowgenic is a term to describe when the core's parents had a previous miscarriage, stillbirth, or death during infancy, and the spirit and/or soul of the previous lost child/children stuck onto the next child. The body is shared between the previous sibling/siblings and the current sibling. This may be protogenic, spirigenic, and/or metagenic

Some truly powerful stuff.

Stumbled on someone decrying TikTok "multiplicity kids" on twitter, but not sure how I feel about this thing and there's no wikipedia article which is usually the limit of my research.

On one hand DID and OSDD are real things, though some people say it's a culture specific disorder.

On the other kids having calling themselves "we", claiming to be piloted by Harry Potter characters, real-life serial killer and Minecraft YouTubers seems to silly to not be just good clean fun.

On the third hand is you told someone thirty years ago about gender spectrum, genderfluidity, xenogenders, bi lesbians, autism spectrum, they'll probably think you're insane. Maybe there is a subclinical version of DID, like Asperger's to autism, so to speak? I dunno...

What is the general opinion of Makhno and the Black Army, and other questions. in c/history@hexbear.net

I also don't know much about the whole Ukraine Free Territory thing despite being curious. Most of the popular stuff on the issue reads like hagiography and dunks people go for in ml vs anarchist slap fights don't seem to land, so I assume Makhno was pretty good.
