- Comment on Mullvad VPN: Introducing Defense against AI-guided Traffic Analysis (DAITA) 4 days ago:
True that. Hadn’t thought of that as it’s not my typical VPN use case.
I’m not sure what a VPN provider could do about that though, they don’t control the operating system’s networking stack. If the user or an outside process that the user decides to trust (i.e. a dhcp server) adds its own network routes, the OS will follow it and route traffic outside of the tunnel.
The defenses I see against it are:
- Run the VPN and everything that needs to go through the VPN in a virtualized, non-bridged environment so it’s unaffected by the routing table.
- Put a NAT-ing device in between your computer and the network you want to use
- Modify the DHCP client so that option 121 is rejected

Don’t you control your dhcp server?

This is not anti-homeless. This is anti-idiots sitting on the window sill of the house you live in, making it a gathering place and a nuisance of themselves. A window sill is not a bench in the park.
- Comment on 8BitDo’s latest retro keyboard is an ode to the Commodore 64 4 weeks ago:
Well the C64 didn’t come with a numpad either, and the tenkeyless format is way more popular than full sized keyboards with mechanical keyboard enthusiasts, at which this keyboard is aimed.
I went numpadless 12 years ago with a Filco TKL, never looked back. A full size keyboard just feels awkward to use now with all the deskspace it takes up.
- Comment on 8BitDo’s latest retro keyboard is an ode to the Commodore 64 4 weeks ago:
Plastic-y is a feature for keyboards like this. Clicky switches need a hollow plastic case to sound nice.
I have an NCR80 (a light plastic Cherry G80 clone) and it sounds glorious with Kailh Box Jade switches.
- Comment on Lemmy.world seems to have banned the largest piracy community on Lemmy. 1 month ago:
It is the most popular lemmy instance though, so them banning a community like this is quite impactful.
- Comment on Lemmy.world seems to have banned the largest piracy community on Lemmy. 1 month ago:
IIRC they banned piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com months ago. Not sure why it pops up again in the modlog. It was the reason I left lemmy.world.
- Comment on The New Audi A3 Is Amess With In-Car Subscriptions 1 month ago:
Goodbye warranty then. Many manufacturers have already been doing that with chip tuning, which is also just a software modification. When you take your car in for service they read out the ECU to detect chip tuning, and your VIN gets flagged in their system if it has been modified. So if at some point in the future you make a warranty claim, you are SOL.
Then there’s also the technical barriers they’re putting up, locking them down so unauthorized software can’t be flashed to them (much like Apple’s iphone and ipad crap).
- Comment on The New Audi A3 Is Amess With In-Car Subscriptions 1 month ago:
It still sucks that features are physically present in the car, but you have to pay to unlock them.

- Comment on Hey, I'm new to GitHub! 2 months ago:
The UI is fine.
It’s just that Github is a code sharing platform for developers, not a software package distribution platform for end users.

- Comment on Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot. 2 months ago:
Well even so you’re barking up the wrong tree. Read my comment history: I never gave anyone the personal advise to switch to Linux, because honestly I don’t care about what anyone uses, and frankly I dislike Windows users coming over to Linux forums expecting everything to be the same as Windows under a different name and complaining when it isn’t. I was merely explaining why people are giving that advise.
- Comment on Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot. 2 months ago:
Again, I’m not going to silence or censor myself for some random internet bully like you. Who the fuck are you to say what kind of advise I can and cannot give? Get lost.
- Comment on Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot. 2 months ago:
I’m not a Windows user, nor expert. Why should I concern myself with Windows problems? I use Linux so that I don’t have to bother with that shit.
- Comment on Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot. 2 months ago:
Listen, if you don’t like what I have to say, don’t read my comments, block me or stop replying or something, but I’m not going to shut myself up to please some random twerp like you.

Fuck off with your stupid takes
Yeah, real mature take you have there buddy.
offer a real solution to the problem.
“My husband always beats me when he is drunk. Don’t tell me to leave him, just tell me how I get him to stop beating me”
^ This is you basically.

Even point 4 is something I have never experienced, and is probably also lack of understanding.
A filesystem is either mounted or it isn’t. Mounted for one program but not for another doesn’t exist. If they don’t see it in the filepicker, they probably just don’t know the mount point.

JFC people like you … You have like the worst case of Stockholm syndrome I’ve ever seen. I swear the only reason you are getting so angry and defensive when people recommend Linux is because deep down you know they’re speaking the truth.

Even if it’s only one, I will have helped one person, unlike you who has only been bitching and moaning.

For people like me who took that advice: pretty damn great actually, thanks for asking!
- Comment on Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot. 2 months ago:
That’s exactly the kind of shit abused people say to justify staying with their abusive partner. (“Oh it’s not so bad” - she says with a black eye - “and he’s really sweet normally”)
Yes in the short term it can be painful to leave an abusive person you’ve come to depend upon, but in the long term it’s always the better solution.
- Comment on Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot. 2 months ago:
When people tell you to use Linux, they’re not telling you that to solve your immediate problem (e.g. your “show desktop” icon has been replaced with a different icon), but they are telling you to get out of your abusive relationship with Microsoft, because that is the real problem: Microsoft does not respect you, the end-user of their product, and this kind of abusive shit will keep happening for as long as you keep using Windows.
- Comment on Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot. 2 months ago:
No it isn’t.
It’s more like saying: if that guy you hang out with keeps pushing you into the water and you almost drown every time, perhaps you should stop hanging out with that guy.
Of course, that’s not what people who are in an abusive relationship typically want to hear.

- Comment on When Pi-hole is down? 2 months ago:
Otherwise a second PiHole set as the secondary DNS in DHCP would keep things online.
No, that just creates time outs and delays when either of them is offline.
The proper way is to have a standby pihole that takes over the IP address of the main pihole when it goes down. It’s quite easy to achive this with keepalived.
- Comment on AMD’s new CPU hits 132fps in Fortnite without a graphics card 3 months ago:
It’s hardly a useful comparison to compare the CPU on its own against a Video Card + CPU.
It is a useful comparison if the latter combination is the same price
