Yay. I just tried it and it works.

I think The Amazing Digital Circus, despite having achieved ‘broken the internet’ status, is still quite niche for the moment. Might have fallen on deaf ears.

Don’t put the headset on.

Gotta have lashings of Bisto gravy, yorkies and good ol’ British Maris Piper potatoes too. Occasionally carrot turnip mash if you’re feeling posh. Cauliflower and broccoli if that’s your thing. Served by Lynda Bellingham.

Americans know it as Apple Crisp, because the US has to perpetuate the myth than American English is anything but a bastardisation of an existing language and therefore have different words for the same thing.

And yes. Hot Ambrosia® custard, not ice cream, and not Birds®. Just as I was served at school dinners (which somehow bow are called lunch).

Or Colmans English Mustard. English Wasabi, I call it.

The ‘small caps’ really gave it away to me but I wasn’t familiar with which book - thank you! The Death books were always very humanizing in an interesting way, His scenes were always my favourite.

Reminds me of the short story podcast ‘The Truth’ episode - “They’re Made out of Meat”. In fact I think it may have been a short story I once read online beforehand, that they may just have dramatized. (?)

Sounds like they meant that for chat GPT…

So, dude makes art on the internet and wanted to use his output to create a revenue stream for himself? Shocking, how dare he. Randall Munroe got popular doing xkcd, and now he’s written books just to further make a name for himself. A damning indictment.

A rose by any other name?

If they put the correct symbol there it would read café

Ooh, thanks! I love stuff like this.

Similar, perhaps. I enjoyed visiting Costco in England and devouring jacket (baked) potatoes with Heinz baked beans (I’m aware this is Lemmy…), Shepherd’s Pie and a hot cup of Yorkshire Tea - so the menu is localised too.

I don’t remember if they also had the typical American fare when I was there, because I was more interested in the British cuisine I had missed so much. They may have had the froyo and hotdogs. Im certain there must have been pizza, surely.

Honestly, I had to read this slowly, one word at a time, in case you the put words wrong way around again

Fair point. This was the first thing I looked at when I woke up today before putting my brain in gear, and I was thinking of the example of being in a train carriage at 70mph and jumping up - because the air resistance is acting upon the train, not directly upon the passenger jumping up and down, they don’t end up having the back of the train catch up to them at 70mph…

Objects in motion tend to stay in motion.

Stock android without an unlocked bootloader will not give you access to the hosts file, and there shouldn’t be a firewall you don’t know about. Can you run a vbox or live USB on another machine on your network to see if it will see the server?

I just saw you already answered about the same gateway and mask. Hm. I’m thinking there’s probably a janky setting on your router, that’s the only place I can think of that might have a poorly configured or unconfiugred firewall. Especially if it works on the cellular using the VPN.

Good luck with it, I’m sorry I don’t have the exact answer!

Edit - just saw your edit. Computing is like that sometimes! Glad you got it working. 👍

You could try changing your host server’s IP address and see if it still has the same issue (maybe it’s added to a hosts file, or perhaps you installed no root firewall?) Can you ping 192.168.68.106 from your server? Not sure if ICMP echo traffic would be blocked by Android however.

Do both your server and phone have the same gateway/subnet mask?

Reminds me of when I aliased ‘man’ to ‘rtfm’
