- Comment on Using DNS4EU in North America 14 hours ago:
This is one of those things that if you really want to do it, you’ll have to live with the consequences.
I’m an American that VPNs everything first to my VPS then down a double hop commercial VPN tunnel that finally exits in Switzerland. DNS traffic also travels over that VPN tunnel so you’ll rightly guess that my DNS is rather slow too.
What I do is I run a resolver on the VPS (physically near me) that aggressively prefetches commonly queried DNS records. After years of using Unbound I found Blocky to be much, much faster (especially with huge blocklists).

That’s true and that all makes sense. I guess I kind of forget because generally the IP address is physically very near to where I’m testing from.
I just switched to a Swiss DNS resolver regardless. I like Quad9’s malware blocking but it’s more important to me to keep the DNS server in Switzerland (despite it needing to query outside the country regardless).

Everyone’s so fucking obese here that most people don’t even notice.

Right, I understand all that but I still can’t figure out why DNS is going to a 14 Eyes country instead of staying in Switzerland.

This confuses the fuck out of me because my VPN in Switzerland using TLS DNS shows Germany as the country in DNS leak tests.
The Swiss DNS provider doesn’t have servers in Switzerland?

Does that really just happen to people? Never in my life have I encountered my car with a random-ass cat sleeping on it.

It’s disgusting it needs to be done
This is what makes it feel cursed (at least to me).

Storj Tardigrade with client-side encryption. I use rclone so you could even encrypt it before hitting the Storj library if you’re extra paranoid (among other things like caching, chunking, etc).
- Comment on Dehorning of S.African rhinos slashed poaching: study 3 days ago:
Yeah seriously, the entire concept is fucking cursed. I keep thinking maybe this is a sick joke.

I’m learning Mandarin and am very much into learning more about the culture but as a vegan it’s very hard to ignore their constant disregard for animal welfare.
- Comment on Google confirms more ads on your paid YouTube Premium Lite soon 3 days ago:
Oh good, I’m not missing out then. I moved around quite a bit between Deezer, Tidal, random piracy in FLAC until finally landing on Apple Music.
- Comment on Google confirms more ads on your paid YouTube Premium Lite soon 3 days ago:
I remember when YouTube Music first came out it was pretty much just the audio from the videos in the most atrocious quality. Has it changed since then?
- Comment on Google confirms more ads on your paid YouTube Premium Lite soon 3 days ago:
I guess it’s their “pay for ads” tier which sounds fucking stupid to me.
- Comment on Dehorning of S.African rhinos slashed poaching: study 3 days ago:
Does anyone else find it incredibly sad that that’s even necessary?
- Comment on If we replace most plastic with a non plastic alternative and would that really be better? 3 days ago:
And a small part of that I think is realizing that a ton of stuff we use plastic for is totally unnecessary. How many times have you opened something and thought “fuck that’s a lot of plastic?”
To me it’s unbearably frustrating how much companies use plastic.

But why even have the blank page to start with? It always feels like a waste of paper (and now ink).

Yep, it’s time to leave this community for awhile.
- Comment on Does anyone use a phone without a protective case? 6 days ago:
I’m on the same level as the person you responded to, but I do use a phone a lot at home. Maybe they were talking about “not at home” usage.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
As a vegan it just feels like people will do anything to not stop eating meat. It’s literally not hard—it’s beyond me why anyone would switch to insects to own the vegans.
- Comment on Why is everyone using Tailscale? 1 week ago:
It can be specific to the web application but generally speaking you’d want to pass the protocol, client IP address, etc.
- Comment on credit bureaus are fucking nonsense 1 week ago:
Somewhat related: I just gave up on keeping a clean credit score. I realized now at 35 that I’m never going to own a house in my crazy expensive city, and I’m never going to buy a brand new car so what’s the use of having a great score?
I still pay off all my debt but I don’t give a fuck if I miss a payment when the greedy fucks are charging high interest anyway.

This is one of many reasons I just don’t get in fights to begin with.

It’s fine, I’ve just seen a lot of weird comments today so I was starting to wonder if they’re generated comments somehow.
