Then we need to test the connection using ping. On VirtualBox, I had an issue with ping returning each packet with its own duplicate (DUP!). I fixed this by switching the VM’s network device from using a ‘Bridged Adapter’ through my Wi-Fi to NAT....

Kicked off in 2016, The Flux Party set off with a claim to transform democracy in Australia, and would do so by having no policies.

WARNING: This episode includes SPOILERS for Arrow Season 5 Episode 13 - Typically, TV shows based on a monster-of-the-week formula or capes-and-cowls soap opera tend to find their footing and tone with greater ease as the seasons wear on. But The CW’s Arrow has become something of an enigma of late, as the show’s early dedication to grounded (if theatrical) street crime soon gave way to superpowers and ancient mysticism. Despite comments from the star reinforcing the idea that Arrow is best when it leaves comic book fantasy to its CW colleagues, the grounded, visceral violence and moral dilemmas of the early season have continued to fade in place of more ‘comic book’ action (for lack of a better term)....
