  • Honestly I just run Alpine Linux on a mini PC (router) or Raspberry Pi (NAS). I don’t like to screw around with outdated, bloated Debian-based distros.

  • Fuck me, this is fantastic news! I’ve been waiting for an update on this.

  • Set up three WireGuard network interfaces on a VPS then accept traffic from your end devices to route through the three double hop VPN tunnels to a country with better privacy laws. Install an ad and tracking blocking DNS server to block all nefarious hostnames as well as more granular blockers for your browsers.

  • This is so fucking low class; I don’t even know what to say.

  • I hate coconut too but after going vegan and trying all kinds of plant-based milks, I actually have half almond + half coconut plant-based milk a shot and it was to die for.

    Coconut is still pretty gross but in some recipes (think casseroles) coconut cream comes out pretty close to “real.”

  • Have you used the web and/or VPN lately? I send the language header but am bombarded by content in the wrong language all the time.

  • Probably because I’m vegan and eggs already creep me out. What looks like a coconut with a misshapen yolk gives me bad vibes regardless of whether the image is computer generated or not.

  • I was alluding to the creepy AI-like imagery. I’m not really interested in the choking hazard debate.

  • I don’t know what it is but the uncanny computer generated misshaped yolk is what gets me.

  • The image on the left gives me the creeps.

  • If you set your language on a website what’s the difference between them using the header versus using the selected language for fingerprinting?

    I understand what you’re saying but even I, a person who splits all their traffic between three different VPN tunnels and goes way too far with DNS blocking don’t really care about fingerprinting based on language.

    If the person really cares so much they can set the browser language back to English then manually change it on each website they visit. We shouldn’t punish everyone on such a silly privacy preference.

    Edit: Yeah of course just downvote me, don’t bother to engage in any kind of dialog.

  • It’s like all the developers in the field got handed access to some IP dataset and they’re just looking for reasons to use it. Screw the users I guess?

  • It would be way more user-friendly to use the language in the HTTP headers. As a web developer the fact that websites are too stupid to do this really grinds my gears. This is just as bad as assuming the language/region from the geolocation of the IP address.

    C’mon guys…

  • Is it weird if I remember exactly how this feels?

  • When are you all going to stop crying and start making fun of this stuff again.

    …continues to bitch and moan…

  • No but other countries might want to take stock of what’s happening and weigh the pros and cons of increasing their defense spending.

  • I get that this is in the news but whether it’s actually something newsworthy feels debatable.

  • It’s a 2009 Audi A3 hatchback with the sport package. While old, I’m in love with the car and it’s my first “nice” car. I already dumped way too much money into it fixing things, but I work from home and mainly use it on the weekend anyway.

    I want to hold onto the car as long as possible. I do want it to look nice so it’s kind of worth it for me.

    Where can I find DNS denylists for Musk, Trump-owned businesses?

    I'm big into blocking hostnames via DNS (specifically with Blocky). I'm having trouble finding Musk and Trump denylists specifically so thought I'd ask the community.

    What California governor Newsom said after an Alabama senator called LA ‘a third world country’

    “Lock him up,” Tuberville told the news website about Newsom. ”LA looks like a third world country — anarchists are in charge, law enforcement is being attacked, and the rule of law is nonexistent."

    An hour later, Newsom took to X to reply to the Alabama politician.

    “Alabama has 3X the homicide rate of California,” Newsom wrote. “Its murder rate is ranked third in the entire country. Stick to football, bro.”

    San Fransisco author temporarily banned on Facebook after writing about Los Angeles protests

    San Francisco author and activist Rebecca Solnit reported her account on Meta’s social media network was suspended in a post to Bluesky on Tuesday, June 10, adding that she was soon told the decision was permanent.

    But less than 24 hours later, the account was reinstated after a Meta spokesperson said the suspension had been made in error.

    On Tuesday, Solnit wrote, “Facebook decided to suspend my account because of a piece I wrote Monday about violence which in no way advocates for it (but does point out who is violent in the current ruckus).”

    Why do websites now prefer IP-based geolocation rather than the Accept-Language HTTP header?

    As an avid VPN user it’s infuriating that multilingual websites insist on using the client’s IP address to determine their language and country when web browsers have been sending the Accept-Language HTTP header since the mid-90s.

    I understand that you can work out more or less where someone is located based on their IP address but it was never meant to be a geo-based marker. Why not go the simple route and use the header?

    In a show of force in the heart of Los Angeles, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on Friday carried out a series of immigration sweeps, including two downtown that sparked a tense standoff.

    Videos showed federal agents running after people in the parking lot of the Home Depot in Westlake, not far from downtown Los Angeles. A man recording the video can be heard warning people in Spanish that immigration officials were at the location and to stay away.

    Another raid occurred at a business in the Garment District, with agents in riot gear detaining workers at a clothing store as dozens of people began to gather outside. As workers were hauled off in cuffs, throngs of people yelled at the agents and held up cellphones to record them, according to videos of the showdown. One person threw eggs at one of the vehicles as agents pushed members of the public back, the videos showed.

    In the street, immigrant-rights advocates stood on a bed of a truck, using megaphones to speak to

    Immigration enforcement agents carried out raids in Los Angeles Friday, prompting gatherings of protesters who at one point clashed with authorities.

    At one scene in downtown Los Angeles, a crowd of people tried to prevent authorities from leaving in vans after multiple people were detained.

    Protesters could be seen throwing objects at the vehicles, while others tried to block the vans from leaving. One person was nearly run over when they fell to the ground after getting in front of one of the vehicles.

    Immigration enforcement agents were spotted at two separate locations in the morning, including a Home Depot store in the Westlake District.

    Video posted to the Citizen app showed Department of Homeland Security agents escorting men in handcuffs outside the store on Wilshire Boulevard.

    A witness who spoke with Eyewitness News outside the store said several people, including men and women, some of whom are street food vendors, were detained.

    "We're a little scared," said the witne

    dnsmasq makes me want to blow my brains out

    Seriously, why is it so hard to set static IPv6 addresses? My router’s hard drive recently failed (just a month after buying it) and I’m trying to recall how I ever got this configured.

    The “documentation” in the configuration file is trash, the software is trash because it doesn’t work. Why is this considered the standard for DHCP on Linux? It’s infuriating. If they can’t fucking figure it out just leave it out and leave it up to other software.

    All I’m trying to do is keep IPv4 and IPv6 addresses semi-uniform like OpenWRT does.

    I spent the first ~18 years of life living in a food decreativity zone so I sometimes spoil myself on weeknights with the spiciest dishes.

    How can I determine how much to contribute to charity to reduce US federal taxes?

    I’m an American sick of being taxed by the dysfunctional US federal government and am looking for ways to reduce the amount paid as well as increase my contribution to society. I’m not looking to reduce state taxes.

    How can I find out the amount I can donate to charities each year such that it reduces my federal taxes as much as possible for my income level?

    What hostnames and/or IPv4, IPv6 ranges does AT&T use for RCS?

    I have a complex Tailscale-based network setup that includes blocking all Google hostnames. Unfortunately RCS on iOS doesn’t work when sending photos.

    I’d like to set up a Tailscale App Connector using hostnames, but if they’re using IP addresses I can work with those as well (subnet routing).

    I’ve scoured AT&T’s website and App Privacy Report on iOS (which doesn’t show DNS names for Messages, Phone apps) but I do know they switched to Google as their RCS provider at one point.

    Update: Resolved by allowlisting rcs-copper-us.googleapis.com specifically, but I also added all of telephony.goog to unblock rcs.telephony.goog. A simple tcpdump got me the DNS requests for those domains.

    Why would a UTF-8 MySQL backup contain invalid UTF-8 characters?

    I’ve been running into several problems with restoring MySQL backups. Namely, the backups come from an environment other than the one I’m working in and I’m forced to remove superuser commands contained in the backups.

    The problem is when trying to remove those commands I’m constantly getting UTF-8 encoding errors because there are loads of invalid character sequences.

    Why would MySQL encode a backup as UTF-8 if the data isn’t actually UTF-8? This feels like bad design to me.
