They tried to fuck me on a return once and after a month of it sitting in limbo i filed and won a dispute though my card provider instead.

Matter of fact i think it was over ram too, but it was over a year ago.

The proper way to do it is connect your router to the vpn, most routers have support for it these days.

If you want to do it the harder way, connect one machine to your vpn provide on one wg network and create a second wg network for your local devices which routes all traffic (not just http) through the one device thats connected to your VPN provider. Basically make youe own home vpn server and connect to that.

Using just squid for http to relay the vpn in addition to being fragile and breaking sometimes is also just not really giving you the full vpn coverage, your ip is going to be leaking all over the place.

Ive been wary if firefox since wheneved it was they decided it was okay to shove “pocket” into the browser. These days i dont see mozilla as anything other than anti monopoly insurance for google, which they obviously dont need anymore.

Mozilla as a company has just been a decade of one poor decision after another adding more bloat and doing nothing meaningful to counter chromes near monopoly.

Vivaldi isnt perfect and brave has its baggage, but at least they actually include adblocking out of the box, a feature that just about everyone wants. Sure its easy enough to install an addon to firefox for it but the fact that you even have to do that should tell you everything you need to know about who mozilla is actually working for.

In every instance of these ive seen so far, the program literally shows the command before the user approves it.

Youd hope it would lead to users starting to read more but nope, just blame the software.

Thats how he got the idea

I wonder if they would allow a vote on when their CEO will die.

Used pixels go for under $300. I just got a 6a for $140.

Any phone that runs android gives alphabet money, just buy a used one.

My funkwhale server is thriving.

Someone discovered an exploit on cardano (a blockchain) that allowed for a “bad” transaction (think spending the same coin twice, or rejecting a transaction that was already valid).

This got some discussion but an actual fix wasnt the priority. Someone else decided to try and see if they could intentionally create a similar bad transaction.

There is a dedicated test chain which is specifically for those kind of tests but instead of choosing to do the bad transaction on the test chain, the person thought they would just block all internet traffic on their computer, but instead of doing that correctly by unplugging their ethernet cable or turning off the wifi, asked chat GPT how to block traffic ans chatGPT guessed wrong.

… Its a pretty weak excuse IMO. It doesnt sound like the exploit was vibe coded, just that the person trusted instructions about blocking connections from GPT. Like if this was a professional they would be fired immediately for such incompetence, but it sounds like it was not a professional.

Ultimately the problem is that they made the choice to use the main blockchain instead of the test one, that makes their defense of it being an accident a bit weak.

I bet thats true of most jobs

I dont find needing to knowing how to use the most common way of setting up servicss is gate keepy.

If you dont want to learn things then it probably is better to just pay someone else to handle the setup i dont think there is anything wrong with doing it that way either.

But where is all the fires and rioting? /s

You can use a service like duckdns.org for free to get a (sub)domain that can be used with funkwhale.

The issue isnt limited to signal, a whole swath of things are down at the moment.

Time for more tax fruad!

I use Dockge to manage everything.

By that logic, I could decide that movie studios have to opt out of me watching their movies for free, and if they don’t then it’s legal for me to pirate them. See how insane that sounds?

That sounds perfectly fine to me. This is now the official policy of all the serviced provided by gravitywell.xyz

When I last needed to get on IRC I used pidgin, because it’s what worked.
