- Comment on Why Trump hijacked the .gov domain 4 days ago:
Not hijack but he could disturb it. When US based organizations (afaik 9 out of 12) who run root dns servers change their root-file he could force ISPs in the US to ignore root servers that don’t cooperate. Or Microsoft to update Windows with modified root hints . Or force Google or Cloudflare to do so for their resolvers. Or AWS for their services…
It wouldn’t stop anyone to ignore said changes and it would be discovered pretty fast. But he could censor the internet and users who don’t care or don’t have the knowledge. Or if you rely on a service who didn’t react (gmail anyone?)
Even DNSSec wouldn’t help as he would control the start of the chain of trust.
There are a lot of infrastructure and involved companies based in the US. I don’t say it’s hopeless but don’t underestimate the chaos he could evoke.

Can only agree. Had Pixel phones but with how Google is acting now, my next phone will be something else. Samsung is a nogo, I will look at Sony, Motorola and Fairphone when the time has come. Also depends on how custom ROMs will change until then.

the fairphone has it’s place but I think it’s not what op is looking for.

No no, the disc changer was in the glove box. The radio had a cassette player. I used it with one of those cassette adapters to connect my iRiver mp3 player.

- Comment on JP Morgan staff told they must share biometric data to access headquarters 4 weeks ago:
Our servers are in a data center and not in the office building. We work remote most of the time and are only in office for important meetings and other things where it’s just easier to work together when sitting on the same table. If you don’t work with confidential data like HR or top management where you have physical things nobody else should see, you don’t have a personal desk because there are more people working than workplaces.
So the office is just “another place to work”. Wifi and LAN are just for internet, you can’t access internal services without VPN. Makes it way easier to manage instead of heaving to different routes to maintain.

With integrated UPS! Just wonder if the performance is worth it.

- Comment on Options for protecting home IP on my self hosted home srver 4 weeks ago:
Instead of paying for vpn because of torrents, take a look at usenet instead. You pay of a newshoster but the downloads are fast and you don’t need a vpn for it. Plus most hoster have vpn included in their offers just in case.

- Comment on VPS Setup and Security Checklist: Complete Self-Hosting Guide for 2025 4 weeks ago:
It’s the public key so it’s not bad for security reasons. For me it just feels wrong to copy the content of a file to another using the clipboard. It can cause problems and one day you’ll do it out of habit with something you shouldn’t.
- Comment on VPS Setup and Security Checklist: Complete Self-Hosting Guide for 2025 4 weeks ago:
I’d be cautious following simple commands and configs without explanation or knowing what they do. And when someone copies public keys via clipboard I’m skeptic. Use ssh-copy-id or at least scp. And with Hetzner you can add your public key to their panel and it will be automatically added to every installation.
As it is stated, this is just a journal / checklist for someone and made publicly available. Don’t blindly follow such things without understanding what you are doing.

Damn you’re right, it doesn’t work out of the box like I expected. Have to admit that I never used it this way around. But it should work with --netns (network name spaces) which Wireguard uses: www.wireguard.com/netns/
Afaik it should work if you move Wireguard to it’s own namespace and than start qBittorrent with the new namespace (should even be doable without firejail).
@imetators @lemmy.dbzer0.com sorry for chasing you down that rabbit-hole, it sounded easier in my head

- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 1 month ago:
Does 1 get better? I have 1 and 2 from a bundle years ago and started the first game. It’s sooo boring, like all the bad stuff from an mmo but single player. I don’t want to walk from a Hub to place A multiple times and just the spawning mobs change based on the quest.
Or if 1 doesn’t get better, can I play 2 without losing to much?

Well Discord started as a replacement for IRC and TeamSpeak/Mumble, then began to add more and more things and got used as a forum replacement and everything went down the hill. Why not going back to the roots? We had fucking IRC scripts for matchmaking in Q3CTF.
