| Nicd- | tiwake: I used ProtonVPN to watch Formula E successfully. They have a free trial | 08:21 |

| Snoras | sailfishx can't be bought in some places? | 08:30 |
| r0kk3rz | nope | 08:30 |
| r0kk3rz | only in the united states of europa | 08:30 |
| tiwake | Nicd-: hmm | 12:41 |
| tiwake | Nicd-: I'll test such things out when I get my cellphone... maybe monday | 12:42 |
| tiwake | Nicd-: do you know how I need to give them money? paypal? | 12:43 |
| Nicd- | Don't know, I didn't buy a paid tier yet. Probably will when Formula E starts again next season | 12:45 |
| tiwake | keithzg: hey, I think you bought SailfishX with a VPN... what did you have to do? | 12:48 |
| keithzg[m] | tiwake: I actually didn't use a VPN in the end, I just fired up a Linux VM in Digital Ocean's German location, bought and downloaded the flashing image from a browser fired up on there. Weirdly that seemed easier, heh. | 13:05 |
| tiwake | keithzg[m]: hmm... so what was the method of payment you used? creditcard? paypal? | 13:06 |
| keithzg[m] | tiwake: Credit card didn't work since it wasn't European, IIRC there was even some weirdness with PayPal too but that eventually worked. | 13:07 |
| tiwake | keithzg[m]: do you have a howto written up for dumbasses like me? | 13:08 |
| tiwake | heh | 13:08 |
| tiwake | I should transfer some money into my paypal account | 13:09 |
| keithzg[m] | tiwake: heh I was stumbling through it not taking any notes so all I have is my untrustworthy memory. I do suspect any random VPN solution would work, I just used a cloud VM 'cause my dayjob largely consists of being a sysadmin so it was a "when you have a hammer..." kinda thing ;) | 13:12 |
| tiwake | sure | 13:12 |
| tiwake | hmm | 13:12 |
| tiwake | I'll try winging it I guess, and cry over here when something is not working | 13:13 |
| keithzg[m] | Sounds like a decent plan :) | 13:13 |
| tiwake | keithzg[m]: did you have to do some weird money conversion from USD with paypal? | 13:15 |
| tiwake | alright, I started the process to transfer monies to paypal | 13:18 |
| keithzg[m] | tiwake: Not sure USD was ever involved, I live in Canada ;) IIRC my debit card wouldn't work through PayPal but my credit card would, or maybe it was the other way around? | 13:21 |
| tiwake | whatever... CAD then | 13:22 |
| tiwake | keithzg[m]: oh then I should not have a problem since I'm transfering money to paypal from my bank account before the transaction | 13:22 |
| keithzg[m] | tiwake: Yeah from my experience at least that should be the most likely way to work. | 13:24 |
| tiwake | might have to wait a couple more days for it to get to paypal | 13:25 |
| tiwake | because banks are crap | 13:25 |
