- Comment on Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs 7 hours ago:
I chain my VPN to a VPS where it’s then two hops through a local tunnel and two more through two other countries. The point is I like the VPS + local tunnels because it never seems like the traffic is leaving the country.
Were I living in one of the crazy states I’d still want at least my first hop to seem like it’s in the same state. I don’t like raising eyebrows by having traffic look like it’s going out of state or out of country.

Weren’t we already pissed and over it like 5-10 years ago? Why is this coming up again?
Honestly, who cares? This is one of those “issues” I feel like only people with way too much time on their hands care about, and that’s coming from someone with way too much time on their hands.

Just used
socatto tunnel WireGuard over TLS from my travel router on a hostile, incredibly insecure public WiFi network today and felt pretty good. My next project is to to tunnel it over QUIC instead. - Comment on Open Printer is a fully open-source inkjet with DRM-free ink and no subscriptions 4 days ago:
That’s true. I don’t print much (I’m happy to go to the print shop) but my wife does quite a bit, but not enough to keep the ink from drying out.
After buying two inkjet printers and having constant problems with the cartridges it probably would’ve been cheaper to start with the laser printer I eventually bought. I didn’t realize that HP would lock out cartridges from their subscription on cancellation either (which feels very morally wrong to me).

I could get into it if it were laser; I’ve long given up on inkjet.

Do you think murders are “bad people?”
- Comment on How to Get Hardware Transcoding BACK on Your Synology NAS 1 week ago:
I bailed on Synology a few years ago. I’ve been so much happier rolling my own NAS with Alpine Linux running on a Raspberry Pi 4.
- Comment on Reducing buffering when accessing Jellyfin via Tailscale 1 week ago:
If it’s cable internet you might just be constrained by the available upload speed. I tend to put my media in Storj then run a VPS somewhere between all the clients that serves the media via WebDAV with
rclone. This gets around the slow upload speed of cable internet at home, and I can cache the remote content on my NAS at home too. - Comment on Politics in America has always been dirty. How does trump really stack up? 1 week ago:

As if “vibe” alone as slang weren’t bad enough.

I imagine people that don’t know what things like files and folders, web browsers or even “applications” are.

- Comment on Number of Americans With No Emergency Savings Soar 2 weeks ago:
The headline should use “soars” instead of “soar” because the subject is “number of Americans.” The number soars; you don’t say “the number soar.”

- Comment on Apple steps up war of words with European regulators 2 weeks ago:
Is it Apple’s fault that there are only two major operating systems for smartphones? Can’t the same be said about computers? Sure there’s Linux but why doesn’t anyone care about macOS doing basically the same proprietary things as iOS?
It’s like everyone wants a cut of their profits simply because they’re successful.
- Comment on Apple steps up war of words with European regulators 2 weeks ago:
You moved away from Apple so I’m not really understanding your lingering problem with Apple.
I moved away from Nissan to Audi a few years ago, I don’t go around criticizing Nissan cars now that I’ve switched. Why would I?
- Comment on Apple steps up war of words with European regulators 2 weeks ago:
I 100% agree. I’m so sick of Apple being attacked in the European market. Look, I love open source software but I don’t want my phone running a bunch of shit that couldn’t even make into the App Store.

In the US I get so tired of hearing this from other white people. I do not look like a typical Spanish speaker but I’m fluent in the language and not once have I heard anyone talking shit in Spanish around me or other white people (living in Los Angeles with Spanish all around me).
At this point I just assume people who have this fear are just completely self-centered.
- Comment on offline e-mails 3 weeks ago:
Yes you can, but the exact process is lost on me as I haven’t used Thunderbird in ages. It should be able to export your mailboxes into a standard format (is it mbox?) or if it’s only a few specific emails you should be able to export them individually as
.emlfiles. - Comment on Sweet dreams are made of these? 3 weeks ago:

- Comment on ‘I’m a modern-day luddite’: Meet the students who don’t use laptops 3 weeks ago:
I absolutely love doing everything on the computer and can’t stand writing things by hand anymore. I’ve always heard simply by listening — instructors that force students to take notes were the worst because I would be too busy scrambling to write things down than actually listen and learn.
All of this goes out the window when it comes to foreign language though. I have to do everything old school: textbooks, pencil and paper, and if it’s a non-Latin character set I have to write the same characters over and over for hours.
