Quick question, from what I know, it is normal, like in English, to use 'vi' to refer to an individual or a group, but I wondered, is it possible to say 'vij' as a second person plural pronoun, roughly translated informally as 'you guys'? If not, would 'vi homoj' be correct, or would I have to go with 'all of you' (and how is that translated? 'ĉiuj da vi'?)?

Edit: as ty_kokos pointed out, 'vij' would be hard to use in speech as it's a near (complete?) homophone of 'vi'

Cicada 3301 is a sequence of advanced codebreaking challenges posted online by an unknown source. It is reminiscant of an ARG used to promote a video game, but is much harder, and does not seem to have commercial aims

The messages were first posted on 4chan, but then led users all over the internet, and off the internet. Most online messages were cryptographically signed, so they could be verified to be genuine Cicada messages

For part 1 of the challenge, many users collaborated, and published solutions to the challenges, but, for part 2, collaboration was discouraged, with the best 'contestants' being contacted directly, therefore, knowledge of

r/Nexus5•

I have a rooted Nexus 5 on stock (though I will probably put PAC on it when reliable ROMs get released for it), and the main thing I'm missing is DSPManager, the Cyanogenmod equalizer. However hard I try to imitate the waveform etc. of the bass booster profile (I'm using OKish Apple Earbuds, so need a boost) from my PAC GS3 on the AOSP EQ , it just sounds flat or tinny. I'm using my old Galaxy as a media player until CM comes out for the N5

I restored DSPManager from my GS3 onto my N5 using Titanium, and managed to set it as the default EQ, but when I play music through an app that utilises the EQ, I get 'DSPManager has stopped working', and no effects (to be clear, the DSPManager interface

r/VPN•

My apologies in advance for the length. The TL;DR is pretty much the title

Unlike most users of this sub, I'm not talking about privacy VPNs that tunnel through a provider to prevent government etc. snooping, eg. PIA, I'm talking about using a VPN to tunnel back to my home network, to prevent local network snooping, and to help me access services behind my firewall

When I'm on a public connection, or anywhere not at home, I'll often use SSH and SOCKS5 tunnelling so all my traffic is proxied through my home server. I've been using this since SSH is extremely easy to set up, and I'd be running it even if it didn't support tunnelling

The only disadvantage is that global VPN support is bui

I do use xmonad on my netbook though, but that's because it's shit and the touchpad is hard to use (in other words: "I don't always use my netbook, but when I do, I use xmonad")

There seems to be something ironic about me using Arch, a minimalistic distro, and then loading loads of bloat

I've decided I'm going to replace my Xoom, as I can't get stable, fast, up to date ROMs anymore (plus 4.2 fucked up the interface on 10" tabs, and the ROMs which fix it again aren't ported to wingray)

I've decided I'm going to get a Nexus device, for ROM support, and I'm going to try a 7" tablet, so I've decided on a Nexus 7 (the Nexus 10 is a bit too expensive for me, and I want to try a 7" tab)

I've heard rumours of a new Nexus 7 being released soonish. Currently, my Xoom is barely usable (CM10 is extremely slow and unstable, CM10.1 doe
