for example, i browse to a completely new website that nobody ever visited. Nobody uses linux, so i go to gnome.org and first it loads because ther router/firewall never knew that URL before. Then in a few seconds gets blocked pending “ai classification”, then it gets permanently blocked because that asshole of my boss decided to block every website that offers software downloads

or, for example, i take a linux distro that literally nobody uses, when i use pacman it firstly load packages because i’m the first one to access the download server, then in the middle of downloads the firewall learns what those server does, and blocks them during download (invalid SSL due to MITM that replaces content with the “access blocked” message)

and because the blocklist is infinite, even listening to offline music gives errors when using music APIs

i wonder what’s the point of offering “free wifi” like this. It’s cheaper and gives a better customer experience to just remove the access points and say “no, we don’t have wifi” rather than “we have wifi but you need to login with facebook and you can only use it for whatsapp and to browse our website”. I heard the boss was pissed that the upstairs neighbors were “stealing” the wifi, as he saw traffic during night time

I was used to normal fortinet filter (they block porn and warez in the work net which is acceptable) but this new one seems extreme, borderline unusable. You have one chance in the router lifetime to browse an obscure website and then next time it’s already in blacklist. I think they pay some kind of subscription for ai autoclassification because there’s no way with human support it can be updated this fast

It’s all blocked and I didn’t find any single VPN to work (didn’t try those with shadowsocks)

Tailscale worked but only if i login using 5G, then after choosing my exit node on my own server, connect to the crippled WiFi

Archived = uninstalled and it will be redownload from Google play when launched. If it’s installed from another source, it can’t redownload from Google play

But your endpoints are already available to everyone with just a nslookup.

Maybe it’s more the permanent history of that, so if you run something like “radarr.example.com” then you wouldn’t have plausible deniability if you’re sued and the CT logs are presented as proof of your wrongdoing

I watched that movie with the expectation of watching a comedy but I was left with the realization that it’s 100% what would happen nowadays

Well I think the opposite.

Saving that one single person is great propaganda. Donald would definitely throw one million people under the bus in order to save that single individual

How not?

If a lxc container is in a btrfs subvolume or in a zfs dataset (those are created easily like a directory, it’s not a partition), you can do a full 1:1 copy in less than one second via a snapshot, keeping all the system files, database, version and configs

Unrelated but why a full VM for Linux stuff, lxc is much more efficient

My parents fire tv has already been remotely disabled by Amazon. It loads, then the launcher goes online to download all the ads, crashes because too many, reboot, repeat, loop

I like this but I hate that’s maintained by automattic. One day Matt gets drunk in a xitter fight and discontinues the product just to prove his point. He’s as unstable as elon

Another big problem of languagetool is that they “forgot” to add any kind of authentication in the self hosted version, so even if you have gigabytes of unused memory it can’t be published online

It looks like a 1:1 modernized copy of the blackberry passport to the tiniest detail. The size. The weight. The 3 row physical keyboard with capacitive gestures. The screen resolution is also 1440*1440. And the huge top bezel.

Wonder if the bootloader can be unlocked or they copied also that from blackberry

Privacy? I’m sure that Google tried so hard to monetize it and after so many years they didn’t found a way, couldn’t use it for ai training too, so they decided to turn it off and save millions in database costs.

They still exfiltrate user movements for improving Google maps, it’s just that they don’t need to keep them indefinitely or for years or maintain a nice interface for that

It feeds from YouTube music so you’d be lucky if you can get the clean music version and not the videoclip version with gunshots, cars speeding and people talking over it

I’m guessing the dark patterns that let people accidentally turn on backups, fill their storage, then have their Gmail account hostage of a paid subscription are still there

That wavelet suggestion must have been sponsored. There’s no way otherwise

Wow that seems awesome!

I could finally purge windows from my htpc without my SO complaining about “what happened to this windows why it is weird, I’m hating it” even though I tried to give the windows look and feel to kde

First I install that on windows with taskbar hidden, then one day when the SO gets used to this launcher instead of explorer.exe, I could replace the os

If you want to try again with Hugo, you can self host forgejo and let it build Hugo on your server when you commit, then serve that HTML

It’s insane that 30% POS usage considering that they have 3-4x the fees that other POS vendors are charging
