- Comment on Novel attack against virtually all VPN apps neuters their entire purpose 3 days ago:
that works, but a regular SOCKS proxy should do. for HTTP even a HTTP proxy. many VPN providers offer them too, btw… may help with mitigating this attack vector.

This is the way

McDonald’s in my region has packaged apple slices with just a bit anti-oxidant added.
- Comment on Microsoft's latest Windows update breaks VPNs, and there's no fix 1 week ago:
The problem is beaurocratic: Using them with Wine is not the manufacturers intent, so it may break for a while and theres nothing the manufacturer will do to fix it. The companies of the users often don’t dare rely on this. It’s also why some companies require to use redhat or ubuntu for a distro, because they don’t dare running anything without a support contract. They think that way there’s someone external to blame, call for help or sue, if things break. I’m not a fan of this, but encountered it a few times on different jobs. At my current job one of our clients has this with redhat and tbh they actually had to call redhat support twice this year, because their server got messed up during upgrades.

- Comment on How does DNA decide the shape of the body? 1 week ago:
to add to what others wrote: cells also signal a bit with each other. they tell each other when they are ready or it’s time to do something, like detach or self destruct, so a flipper can split into fingers.
AFAIK all signals for the formation of a human body are chemical, even though some cells can also produce electricity and light.

- Comment on AI nowaday is like Bluetooth 20 years ago: they put it everywhere where it's almost never useful 2 weeks ago:
I strongly disagree. 3D, VR and blockchain have limited use. They were just extremely overhyped. It’s the exact same now with AI. It has uses, yes, but you don’t need it in your toothbrush.
- Comment on Men over 30, have you ever been in a legit confrontation with a stranger? 2 weeks ago:
yes, i stand up against racism etc… so even if people consider publicly racist people crazy and try to ignore them, i’ll make sure and confront them. that will either show they’re actually crazy or show them their racism isn’t tolerated. can’t let one slip thru

even though this may be inconvenient, it will likely help migrating good content to less shitty platforms/companies in the long run.
- Comment on Whistleblower 'would not' put family on Boeing 787 jet 3 weeks ago:
I’m in EU, so about 117€ or less. (that’s what i set my alert to)
- Comment on Whistleblower 'would not' put family on Boeing 787 jet 3 weeks ago:
yes, but the door fell off while it was already halfway down that slope. in fact, days after the door fell off, it stopped falling until about march. so i assume this is within it’s normal mid term volatility. when you look at the last 3 or 4 years, it’s going up and down around the range it’s in now. so if you buy now, considering only it’s past develooments, it’s completely uncertain where it will go.
- Comment on Is it true that addicts never stop being addicts, they just replace their addiction? 3 weeks ago:
it’s not true. i was a heavy smoker and quit and didn’t replace it. it was tough. the temptation for a smoke took like 5 to 10 years to disappear.
i never drank much alcohol, but decided to quit that too, after i realized i hadn’t had a drink in several months and wanted to see where it’s going.
i know several others who quit one thing or another and didnpt replace it. replacing can be a coping mechanism though. if you replace with something that’s more easy to quit, it’s a good way out.

I’m watching it since the door fell off, but it’s barely moving. It’s still in the price range it was in the last 4 years 🤷
