Apologies for the slow reply :)

These are the things that I don't understand. When you say I need to specify the destinations, does that mean the destination of the traffic, like lemmy.dbzer0.com, or the destination network interface like tun0 or enp2s0?

I'm searching for split tunnel VPN, but the majority of results are either sales sites, or Stack Overflow with no confirmed answers.

I've been having a bit more luck with this page after searching for Jet's answer below:

https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man8/ip-netns.8.html

but I'm still confused >.<

Not if it stops my head from exploding :D

Apologies for the slow reply :)

I'm reading up on this at the moment. If I'm understanding it correctly, I would run that command to launch a program, but could I use it for something that launches at startup?

My Minecraft and Qbittorrent instances start automatically, so could I change them to something like

ip netns exec vpn ~/qbittorrent/start.sh

ip netns exec clear ~/minecraft/start.sh

or change the application's autostart Command box to ip netns exec vpn qbittorrent %U if the current entry is just qbittorrent %U

Do these make sense?

If you’re on a time crunch, go ahead and use network namespaces under network manager to set up something like what you want as another user suggested.

I'd love to, but I have no idea how >.< :D

I have a vague idea of what they are and what they do, but everything I've found assumes a level of understanding that I don't have yet. I've found this man page from searcing an example posted in another reply, and it's helped, but I'm still confused :)

To clarify, I'm happy with using either, if my network traffic is split. Ideally I want to switch a lot of my programs to containers at some point, then switch to a better server OS. In the meantime though, I just want to get everything working together.

Qbittorrent has to be behind the VPN, and that's stopping my Minecraft servers from connecting to the outside world. If there's a way to force Qbittorrent to be behind the VPN while leaving a non VPN connection open, I'm happy to use it. I only mentioned Gluetun because I've heard of it, and I know that it's for keeping containers behind a VPN. I thought it might be the answer here :)

That's a great idea, thanks :)

I just pulled my back and broke my hips reading this, it made me feel so old 👴🏻

You say you suspect that the camera is MTP, but have you tested it with anything else? It's worth checking the settings on the camera too, to check what it's set up to do when it's connected to something else.

As you've said, mass storage devices work with Xiaomi phones, so changing the camera to mass storage mode should work too, and will just mean that you have to browse to the correct folder 👍

This sounds similar to how it works for me too. I closed my eyes to try this.

I saw a very rough version of the table that's in the room with me. The table is a low rectangular coffee table with a coarsely threaded grey throw over it going lengthways, but I saw it as a rectangular shape with a vague grey top. The ball was featureless with no colour, and was about the size of my fist, so an adult man's fist.

I saw a low quality arm push the ball, but I really struggled to picture it, and while I knew what would happen in real life, I couldn't picture it happening in my head.

It's strange, as sometimes I can picture things fairly well, but other times I can't do it at all. I have very vivid dreams on the occasions that I remember dreaming, but I can't close my eyes and picture my family. I know what they should look like, in the same way that I know what a rotating cow should look like, but I very rarely get any sort of mental image of them.

Ironically, I was in a coma a bit over a decade ago, and while I was in it, the dreams that I had were so realistic that it took me months to get things straight in my head.

As I understand it, concrete plates, at least in the UK, tend to be quite big, like the road here:

Concrete Road

You might find though that pavements / sidewalks are made up of smaller plates, as they're easier to transport and fit, rather than waiting for a large area of concrete to set. The only paths that I can think of right now that are concrete are on private property, so I can't link to them. They're things like garden paths and are continuous.

If you're not sure though, you can always tag as surface=concrete and let someone else add any extra detail in the future. At least then the basics are there :)

This is all very helpful, thank you :)

Any Creative Commons license will require the festival to list a credit for your work. That might not be an issue for the app or website, but the festival might not be interested in listing “poster by Tippon, used under a Creative Commons 4.0 license” every time they use something you created on social media, in print, or advertising.

I didn't know about that. I thought they might have to credit me, but didn't know that it would need to be on the work itself. I definitely don't want that. I hadn't thought about third parties either. I doubt that anyone would try to rip us off, but I don't want to leave that door open either, just in case.

I'm not overly concerned with future clients, as I'm medically retired and just doing this as a learning exercise. There's a tiny chance that I might get future work from this, but I'm more concerned with not cutting myself off from using the website / app template if I was to fall out with the festival at some point. As you say though, I don't want to leave either me or the festival open to having the content stolen either.

I've just realised that I need to double check how to handle third party images too. We have some local businesses who support the festival, so we use their logos as links on the site. If I include them in the repository, I don't want to accidentally give them away.

I've got some reading to do! :D
