I have an ASUS N66U

I have configured the WAN interface to use a VPN Client to connect to a 3rd party VPN Server, so that all NAT LAN connected device traffic is routed through the 3rd party VPN server.

But if the 3rd party VPN server goes down, or the connection is otherwise lost or broken, the Asus N66U will route directly from the WAN connection using e.g. my ISP.

How can I stop my Asus N66U from routing any traffic on the WAN port if the VPN connection is down?

When in Large Text Mode, information is truncated with ellipses "..." Here's a proposal for a better solution, which might help in regular text mode also.

Using Large Text Mode

In the feed we see posts appear like this:

The community appears as "green..."

This could show the full community name and post username, allowing line wrap, followed by a newline and the counts on the next line.

So instead of

O green...
^ 433 v 1 O 100% O 8h

This could instead show

O [email protected] 
by user@instance 
^ 433 v 1 O 100% O 8h

Yes allowing line wrap might break the text at non-whitespace characters, but I think that would still be ok. E.g.

O [email protected]
st.works by user@instance 
^ 433 v 1 O 100% O 8h

Similarly when entering post and comment view

This could instead show

O [email protected] 
by user@instance 
^ 433 v 1 O 100% O 8h

Then when viewing the comments

Rather than:

psycho_... ^ 14 v 0 ... 5h

You could again allow line wrap and add a newline between the user name and the vote counts.

This could instead read:

psycho_whatever@instance 
                       ^ 14 v 0 ... 5h

This should still be okay for wrapping long user names that don't wrap on whitespace characters. E.g.

some_long_user_name@so
me_long_instance_name 
                       ^ 14 v 0 ... 5h

Also user profiles do not render well in Large Text mode.

I don't give a shit about reddit's DP program.

The first two or three emails I was willing to ignore. But they keep sending these.

How desperate do you have to be?

This sloppy bash script generates the above html players table from this site:

Maybe this can be expanded to track player eliminations.

Hopefully this code posts correctly...

When I play an episode of a TV show, if I pause I see the name of the episode, but it doesn't show which season or episode number.

E.g. I might see:
Lisa Simpson, This Isn't Your Life

But I would like to see something like:
s22e05 - Lisa Simpson, This Isn't Your Life

Or maybe even better, something like:
The Simpsons - s22e05 - Lisa Simpson, This Isn't Your Life

Is there some way to enable this?

Additional question...

This is even more annoying because sometimes when I pause, or fall asleep, or shut off my tv/roku, the "Continue Watching" list on the home screen doesn't even have where I left off. (Sometimes it does. That seems like a bug to me.) So then I have to go track down the season and episode number where I left off.
