You evidently have displayport, so the solution seems pretty straightforward. Pull hard disks, install windows on a blank SSD. Send series of nastygrams to MSI.

Whatever you’re planning on doing about ICE agents, redirect toward anyone with 9+ figures of net worth.

Syncthing

Self-hosted. Open source. Your data stays on your own devices. Creates a shared folder on your laptop and your phone. Move a file into that folder on your laptop, and syncthing pushes it to your phone.

Well, we’re pissing off the right people.

It’s a little clunky, but KryptEY is an on screen keyboard that can encode/decode messages. The encoded messages can be transmitted over any service.

OP is asking how to prevent abusers from seeing OPs content.

“Blocking” the abuser prevents OP from seeing the abuser’s content. “Blocking” does not prevent the abuser from seeing and interacting with OP’s content.

“Blocking” does not achieve OP’s objective.

You can discover who is doing it with Lemvotes

But no, you can’t block them. Here in the real world (as opposed to the dystopian centralized platforms that have largely supplanted public discourse), it is not possible to isolate a specific individual and deny them access to information provided freely to the rest of the general public.

Should their public engagement rise to the level of harassment, there are legal options you can take to compel their restraint. But downvoting everything you do does not rise to such a level.

Here’s a good alternative.

You can do that, or you can falsify your calculations, claiming more dependents than you actually have, reducing your withholding.

You can also go the contractor route, operating as a separate business rather than an employee. 1099 income has no withholding.

People use “exempt from withholding” on a W4 when the majority of their income is from contracting or self-employment and they file their own quarterly estimates.

You can actually do that. Read the W4 a little more closely.

I haven’t kept up with the development side of it…

Clicking through the links on F-droid, their issue tracker (https://lists.sr.ht/~petercxy/shelter) is active as of three weeks ago. Author’s github shows commits as of November 2024, and suggests a custom F-droid repository.

Try “Shelter”. It’s available on F-droid. It’s an app that lets you manage your phone’s “Work Profile”. I use it to house scummy corpo apps that I occasionally need, but don’t want running all the time. From inside the work profile, HSBC shouldn’t be able to see apps installed outside of it.

Yo ho, all together…

Interesting. A first-person shooter is the view from the perspective of the shooter. A third person shooter is the view from a neutral party - a camera watching the action.

A second-person shooter would be from the viewpoint of those being shot by the protagonist.

A telepathic assassin. You read the mind(s) of your target(s), and somehow use their eyes to kill them.

My old PC locks up every 4 to 48 hours. It would make a terrible NAS.

That sure musta been something. I can only imagine.

lemmy tells me to go fuck myself.

Well, get on with it.

The courts understand money. A handful of state legislators can’t throw nearly as much money at such a case as the big names in tech. Therefore, big tech wins.

My point is that setting up your own, you have a second ISP for the VPN endpoint. Traffic from/to that endpoint is traceable to the operator of that VPN, but now that operator is you, rather than a major provider.

The no-logging feature of the major ISPs provides anonymity by leaving them unable to correlate traffic on the endpoint to an actual person. That feature is the core function of a VPN, but it is not something that you can setup for yourself.

If simply connecting to a VPN is illegal,

Such a law would prohibit Cloudflare’s entire business model. That interpretation will never survive the courts.
