Yeah, now that you say it. Sadly we must wait till 2025…

Shit looks dope af, kinda a mix of Doom and Cuphead. Definitely gonna buy it :)

Correct!

Kohl’s copper buddy. Fuck lobbyism, it only makes the riches richer. Doesn’t help everyone else…

Cries in 0,1 Gbit/s cause DE sucks ass. Won’t get fibre for years, but hey at least 100m away the municipality has fibre and the schools 1km away will get connected next year. They just put the cables around my street.

Federated instances could be counted. Non-federated like govermental or company ones can’t. So yeah, I would say 3.

Ah, yeah stutters has different meanings. One being people with a speech disorder and the other one is usually used for display issues (like tearing). It felt like I was using a low refresh rate screen with really low fps, but had 144Hz and 144 fps xD
USB can ramp up latency for sure, should be because of I/O overhead, which usually is ignorable when the HW is fast enough ime.
Now my fingers are itchy to try FreeBSD and OPNsense again, haha. Like I haven’t already enough stuff to do and test…
- Comment on Remote solution to decrypt disk at boot 11 months ago:
What? xD The script used the DSL modems IPv6 WAN IP to set up the IPv6-to-IPv4 tunnel (to get IPv4 working) each time my ISP dropped the connection after 24h (standard DSL procedure over here in DE) or rnd reconnection. But somehow that script triggered a higher latency and probably packet loss/delay (couldn’t measure it, cause it only appeared in fast paced shooters like MW2019). Without the script everything ran fine except IPv4 after disconnections, which had to be setup manually. After that I sent the DSL modem back and returned to my AVM FritzBox as my main router. Can’t really say if it was directly the scripts fault or sth else in my OPNsense setup (low powered CPU, USB ethernet adapter, 4 port gbit LAN PCIe card, defective RAM, …). Maybe I’ll try a similar setup again some time, because I kinda liked OPNsense…
- Comment on Remote solution to decrypt disk at boot 11 months ago:
Your answer wasn’t rude at all :) and thanks for the long one! Looks like I should try FreeBSD again, last time I was just overwhelmed, but that’s many years ago. My last try was OPNsense which didn’t work like I wanted it to (stupid IPv6-to-IPv4 tunnel, which didn’t properly reconnect after the 24h ISP disconnection and my script to fix this fucked up latency and gaming wasn’t possible because of stutters (probably packet loss too)). Security is the main aspect of my try to use it. Linux can be like a swiss cheese if misconfigured. Still better than Windows (Server) tho xD
- Comment on Apple Confirms Governments Using Push Notifications to Surveil Users 11 months ago:
Yeah you’re right. Sandboxed gplay services can still be used to surveil clients, good thing you can use another profile with gplay services and install apps (which needs those) on there. Good thread about it: …grapheneos.org/…/9407-this-is-why-i-use-graphene…
- Comment on Apple Confirms Governments Using Push Notifications to Surveil Users 11 months ago:
More open source hardware would be epic, but imo this trend will take years to grow if it even will succeed. Most people just don’t care about their privacy at all and with hw and sw being open, there’s less money to be earned because of easier plagiarism.
- Comment on What is the most efficient method to set up a home server? 11 months ago:
For a small pocket and low power consumption but incredible performance I would recommend the Odroid M1. Add a cheap nvme drive for the os (I prefer debian) and a 2,5" hdd. On top of debian you can install OMV for a webui based linux home server control. DietPi is nice for beginners too. And like other ppl already said, you can use docker/podman for running your software.
Oh and don’t forget the 3-2-1 backup rule. 3 Backups, 2 different media types (ssd, hdd, usb stick, cloud, …) and 1 offsite backup (cloud or hdd at your friend’s house).

Tried to help :P What’s your take on using freebsd instead of linux? More security?
- Comment on Apple Confirms Governments Using Push Notifications to Surveil Users 11 months ago:
Every app is sandboxed by default and has no permissions, which you can give them. Like StorageScope for accessing only certain files.

That’s why everyone should use GrapheneOS. Sandboxed Google services can be used, if needed. I personally use 3 proprietary apps, one of them is WhatsApp Business (self-employed and for stupid dipshits that won’t use anything else…), which is more privacy-friendly than the personal client itself. Join the resistance! Use GrapheneOS :)
- Comment on Remote solution to decrypt disk at boot 11 months ago:
Like someone already mentioned, you can use dracut-ssh for rpm-based distros or dropbear-initramfs for deb-based distros. My idea would be to use debian as host and virtualize or dockerize the freebsd system/software part.
- Comment on Slow sab tips? 11 months ago:
It’s huge for networking. VPN gateway (for accessing the VPN WAN over LAN) on the host is 20-40% faster than dockerized…

This could be the I/O overhead caused by docker while using NAT networking: stackoverflow.com/…/what-is-the-runtime-performan…
- Comment on do you know of a VPN provider that accepts ETH ? 1 year ago:
Use sth like sideshift.ai to pay with any crypto. And don’t use NordVPN!
- Comment on Using Android Private DNS AdGuard Home via reverse tunnel 1 year ago:
Whats your setup? Stuff dockerized? Looks like routing/iptables are set incorrectly (depending on your setup).
But my solution would be using a local DNS VPN like personalDNSfilter, exposing your services over the VPS to the net and connecting over https to them. For local access at home you can use split-brain-dns (hope thats the correct word [example.net = 8.8.8.8, at home it resolutes to 192.168.x.y]). With that you can just walk around and use every service with the best latency and bandwidth, without manually deactivating the VPN.

Use Molly instead. There are 2 versions, one FOSS one and one with some proprietary data (notification stuff).
- Comment on Which are android spyware browsers ? 1 year ago:
Thanks, didn’t know that fork. Just installed it, maybe it can replace my Kiwi Browser, which I only use because of the add-on support (uBlock, Translate, Cookieautodelete, DarkReader, Decentraleyes, floccus bookmark sync, canvas and font fingerprint Defender, useragentswitcher).
- Comment on Which are android spyware browsers ? 1 year ago:
Ok, I took a look at the fixes in-between. Hope they’ll update soon. But that’s not really my concern. Everything sensitive is done in Vanadium or on my desktop with Librewolf (Payments, Shopping, Banking). Should have included that in my comment before!
- Comment on Which are android spyware browsers ? 1 year ago:
Latest commit in August: github.com/kiwibrowser/src
And I use Version 116 with the autoinstaller FFUpdater. So yeah.
- Comment on Which are android spyware browsers ? 1 year ago:
Everything proprietary. Use FOSS, cause it’s good :) Vanadium is quite nice, but for daily use I have the Kiwi Browser. It supports lots of extensions too.

- Comment on ISP put me behind NAT 1 year ago:
Netcup is my favourite hoster in the EU, but I live in DE. 2€/m for 2c, 2/4gb ram, lots of traffic. They have coupons from time to time or xmas/easter/… deals. The whole front- and backend works like a charm too. Upload your own isos/qcow images, download backups, KVM is awesomely implemented too. Sadly they don’t take crypto and you need a call verification or id via mail for your first purchase (understandable as a german hoster), besides that just wonderful :)
