The biggest hastle was that any persistent tunnel I would make over any protocol (I tried OpenVPN, WireGuard, SSH, Shadowsocks, etc) to any IP address would be blocked after (I think) 3 hours. This let them basically block any VPN that wasn’t already explicitly blacklisted outright.

My solution was to make a simple API on the server that got a new IPv6 address for the server and returned it.

There was a WireGuard server running on port 53 and listening from any incoming IP. On my devices I would call the API every hour when idle and change the IP in the WireGuard config. On Android I had a Tasker automation to do this and on my laptop a shell script on a cronjob.

Lmao part of the reason I went so deep into the Linux world was because my school board had super advanced network policies that were able to effectively block specific traffic and pretty much any commercial VPN. I had to build my own server at home to connect to from school using a bunch of traffic cloaking techniques to get unobstructed internet access.

I didn’t really use any sites that were blocked anyway, but it made me go “watch me bitch” to whoever was overengineering the censorship system in our school board’s IT.

That’s no attempt, that’s instant death.

Sure! All you need is a small loan of a million dollars.

sperm hehe

As of a few years ago at least, most Taiwanese people were in favour of keeping relations as they are and neither expanding nor severing Chinese relations from status quo. They already operate as their own country, so a push towards further separation is mostly only symbolic anyway and they don’t want to provoke China and their current peace for a symbolic gesture. I think that by treating Taiwan as its own country but not identifying it as such, we are acting as most Taiwanese wish.

Ah, okay. I appreciate the fact check.

Them’s the small government folks for ya…

Guessing Intel contracted out their warranty to Asus, who were willing to do it for the least $$ (since Asus probably knows their administration of the program wouldn’t cost much with all their denials)?

I really want to downvote this but I can’t bring myself to do it.

You need context from the show to get this meme. This episode is a satire on how women who molest minors are treated differently and how some people are inclined to congratulate the molested instead of seeing them as victims.

It’s not nice, and we need to view the attitude of situations like this being “nice” as messed up. Hence the meme.

The literal way to read what you wrote is to never ask Flatpak, in order:

1. how it can download more
2. the total file size

The only reason no one thinks this is what you mean is because of how many people also mess this up.

That’s where you guys draw the line? With automated facial recognition vans, CCTV everywhere, among other things, the UK is certainly not a country that comes to mind when I think “civil liberties and privacy”.

True, but even if Steam were to offer a x% lower cut on sales for Linux users if the developer makes a Linux-native build, it’d still not entice many to build and maintain a native port if they are only saving x% off a tiny y% of users. Other poster’s point being that incentives like this would actually become enticing to companies when Linux market share (Proton users) increases.

Doubtful Steam is gonna offer a share cut on all sales when it runs on Proton for the 2% of userbase using Linux, and from that only a minority would care whether or not it’s native anyway.

It’s not considered worth undertaking such an initiative when most nuclear power plants have no problem just leaving the heavy (solid concrete and steel) casks as they are. They are not some looming threat, and they just sit there, outside, taking up a pretty small amount of space on the plants’ property. Nothing else is done because there is no real incentive to move them; no one cares.

In a few months though I can handle a change or gap in insurance though so I’ve got a light at the end of the tunnel at least

This is just so fucked. In no way do I mean on your end, but just that the system begets inhumane situations like this.

Never thought a single non-canadian would have even heard of Corner Gas lol

WTF is the screen scaling set to on that laptop?

damn, you might get me back on Windows if it feel like that 🥴
