- Comment on Using Tailscale As A Traditional VPN 7 hours ago:
I’m just using WireGuard on a VPS with multiple interfaces. I’m still doing heavy ad/tracking blocking via DNS too.
As for App Connectors I’m working on a script (compiled program hopefully down the road) that can query a specific hostname using a specific interface (say, a US-only website using DNS over a US-based VPN) then create a virtual IP address that directs to that same IP using the correct tunnel.
My reasoning for the virtual IP address is that I don’t want to redirect every website on the host to the other tunnel—lots of servers have an array of websites on them.
What I found disappointing about Tailscale is I had to do a lot of “hacks” to make things work—DNS on each exit node had to match perfectly (despite using different exit tunnels)—then the shit would only work like 20% of the time. One day traffic for the US tunnel worked, the next day it was going out of the exit node. I also never got it working correctly in Docker so I was running multiple VPS servers.

I loved Tailscale for about a year but am moving away from it because having multiple exit nodes with each redirecting traffic via commercial VPNs with DNS-based ad blocking and App Connectors grew way too complex.
I’m not saying you’re doing all this but if you do get to a point where you’re directing traffic to multiple countries Tailscale turns into nightmare to manage.

When you have poor insulation then the colder it gets the higher you want to set your thermostat higher because the indoor temperature reading won’t be as accurate since your exterior walls are leaking.
Additionally, we like to open our doors when it’s warm enough outside but also sometimes when it’s freezing cold. Using inputs from the door sensors, outdoor temperature and indoor temperature I can automate fans and switching off heaters.
Love that all you random fucks assume I’m a moron, thanks for that. Can’t get enough of the dumbass hivemind logic on Lemmy.

My solution is to VPN everything out of country. Not a single packet exits without going through a double hop VPN, with both hops being outside the Fourteen Eyes.
On top of that I run an ad/tracking blocking DNS server that’s updated pretty frequently.

For the reason I explained:
Because my old, horrible apartment is poorly insulated I have everything automated based on indoor/outdoor temps.

I do exactly what you’re wanting with a smart thermostat integrated with Home Assistant. Because my old, horrible apartment is poorly insulated I have everything automated based on indoor/outdoor temps.

Yeah that’s a whole other can of worms. I see this a lot at work where people are asking for direct database credentials and cringe every time.

Is it though? I haven’t used a framework since probably 2007 that doesn’t do this. There are the smaller, more DIY frameworks out there but I’ve never used them professionally.

I was always a fan of

That’s a lot more involved than what I ever did. I only put an Enya track inside of some totally-not-Enya song to confuse my friends.

Lately I’ve been dealing with tons of invalid byte sequences in MySQL dumps and it makes me question what the hell they’re allowing in there.
- Comment on I am from a different millenia 1 month ago:
My favorite thing was burning discs with hidden tracks, especially before track 1. Or inserting a song/sound within a track requiring you to seek to find it.
Too bad for me this was around the time CDs were on their way out, but I hold hope that my old friends from those days might still have those discs.

Unless you’re coding from scratch it’s hard to not do this with any modern framework.

I’ve been doing web development for something like 20 years now and I just can’t imagine how shitty your backend is if this is an issue.

No, but I’m genetically predisposed to being very sensitive to caffeine so there’s that.
- Comment on Dinner bell is going off 1 month ago:
Same, but the shakes are from both caffeine and starving. Not sure if I’m eating due to hunger or because it feels like my heart is going to explode.

Eh, out of all my own traffic I’ve MITM’d it’s mostly been third-party SDKs in apps doing creepy shit.
Down to hate on Gulf of America but when it comes to privacy it’s debatable.

Scared me for a sec, though I had an IP leak as I VPN to Switzerland but remembered I explicitly allowed Maps to be routed through a US VPN.

I’m a white guy that’s essentially fluent in Spanish and live where a lot of people speak Spanish. Not once in 10 years have I heard someone talking shit and trust that I’d be an easy target.
I really hate when people get shitty because they don’t understand what others in the vicinity are saying. People should get a life.
