new episodes of Linux are released on a weekly basis so you have to keep up

I always wait a while so I can just binge an entire distro at once.

I'm currently about halfway through Xandros. (No spoilers please!)

i really want to watch all the sports so im thinking of getting a vps account in that neighbour country and installing a vpn server there myself. is that a thing?

Depending on how exactly they're doing the vpn detection, that may or may not work. I have a cheap little vps in North Carolina and Netflix won't play through a simple ssh tunnel/SOCKS proxy setup to it. But exactly the same setup works great if I ssh home to my cable modem. So they're not detecting the tunnel itself, but something about the endpoint (probably just that the IP is in a vps block in a datacenter).

But that's Netflix, which probably has a much larger budget for tunnel detection. And since a VPS is like two bucks a month (just pick anyone on lowendbox that's having a special and has servers in the country you want), you might as well give it a shot and see.

i understand the appeal of buying a box but i would recommend just paying $5/month for a cloud vps like from digital ocean or wherever, setting up algo, generating keys for everyone and sending the .mobileconfig profiles to any ios devices

works great for services out of the country, though it would not be hard for things to start noticing "this ip is in the digital ocean/aws/azure/whatever" block, not a residential connection, so it could easily stop working at any time

my mom got a ton of use out of it for history channel and pandora on her ipad when on vacation

i've done the same thing but more half-assed: no vpn, just an ssh tunnel to the vps (or to a box at home), and a socks proxy in the browser.

which reminds me, does iOS let you do ssh tunnels yet? i haven't played around with an iphone/ipad in quite some time, but when i last did, it sure seemed like they really didn't want you coloring outside the lines like that.

And I'm sure that Snowden endorsement on their (seized) website was totally legit as well.

I feel like Isaac Asimov would have something to say about this. (I'll put the over-under at four sentences before he would use the phrase First Law of Robotics.)
