To be fair, any proper VPN setup that only relies on the routing table like this is flawed to begin with.
If the VPN program dies or the network interface disappears, the routes are removed aswell, allowing traffic to leave the machine without the VPN.
So it is already a good practice to block traffic where it shouldnt go (or even better, only allowing it where it should).
Many VPN-Programs by Providers already have settings to enable this to prevent “leaking”.

Unikely… Kinda why VR also didnt get too popular, most players just prefer “classic” controls and not movement-controls.
But this is huge for VR and other usages of this, probably even useful for production routing, but i dont have any knowledge of that.
to be fair, they specifically target the way google ranks these websites. If google would rank them with less impact of what the website “bastardizes”, this could be generally less of an issue in the first place.
What i dont understand: These gains are calculated into the option premium, so how is this still attractive?
Basically betting the line goes up faster (or earlier) than the seller predicted?
We cant read Apples mind, so thats wishful thinking. But sending telemetry (even if hidden) means it can be used.
Thats why e.g. Apple is using Differential Privacy for apps to use… to not have to give the Apps full access to e.g. usage data.
Of course Apple themselves isnt necessarily bound to that system themselves, who knew…
And why not allow other Apps to replace your default Apps if you want to? Why not have access to that Freedom?
After all you should be able to do anything you want with your system… or maybe you dont believe in this kind of freedom. Could just buy an Android phone. Fuck the person who wants to actually own their hardware, right? How could they be so dumb and want actual freedom, haha.
No, we play pretend while Freedom is further taken away under “Privacy” claims. Maybe that replacement battery will send your usage pattern via shortwave radio to an agent nearby…
Hetzner Storagebox is $3.5/M for 1TB
In an more ideal world, getting less money because people tip less, would push you to reconsider the job choice and ultimately switch to something more lucrative.
With less workers, the company would be forced to pay more to even get employes.
Problem with this idealised scenario is, it doesnt work in the US, because workers are getting screwed so much and have so little choices at those low paying jobs, they’d be the ones loosing massively in the short-term.
And with little support structures my the states and federal government, they would fail… and the 2 party system would fail them even harder, noone cares about them in the government… too much invested in fighting imaginary culture wars.
But then again, using less services of the business leads to the same outcome in the end, so even that wouldnt work well.
The business will always win in the short-term.
So as it is ineviteable, maybe its better to think long term anyways.
And everyone wants tips these days, no longer just a gratitude or paying low wage workers, but now also a ‘bid’… (sure not every worker might like relying on tips, but specially well paid servers prefer it as they make bank)
I dont see you getting iut of tipping either way very well without government intervention… which i dont see happening, but you have orher big issues too…
You can not only use that information for e.g. blackmail, but also to build material to manipulate you to do things without you knowing.
Information is a powerful tool.
Yes, you need an organization which signs your certificate, so it is trusted by default. This is our trust-anchor so we know the certificate presented was validated and it was given only to the website owner.
There are numerous around the world for that.
And if that is no longer offered, you can just not have your certificate signed, which means browsers will complain about it.
But you can trust your own certificate yourself. Or create your own certificate authority which can then sign other certificates for the community as their new trust anchor.
I think we would very quickly build the web-of-trust, but for certificates.
You can even not have certificates, but keep an weak form of TLS (no idea if browsers support TLS_DH_anon_*), but its still encrypted and can only be broken by an active Man-in-the-Middle-attack. (which is theoretically detectable later on)
Diffie-Hellman is an awesome key-exchange.
When i was with a customer who was using one of ther VPS offers, performance was unexpectedly low and upon contacting support it was clear the small fish dont get great support answers, but rather pushed to the FAQ.
And i personally find their offerings and marketing scummy. Big promotional prices, but always some small print with a higher price after x Months.
Or just stuff thats not included by default.
I never had that with other (also very cheap) providers.
As long as it works great for you, i wouldnt see a reason to leave.
There arent that many providers offering such small ressources at all or at such a price. To be fair, not much one can do with those specs… 10GB storage is very limited already.
But for those specs… always free oracle tier would work too (though requires a credit card).
Ionos… not a good provider.
Great it works for you, but i wouldnt touch them with a long pole.
Created by an old internet provider (which is also not very good…), pulling every shady marketing trick weird “cloud” providers have…
Contabo is very cheap too, but i wouldnt trust them with critical stuff.
Netcup is next, quite good and still cheap.
Hetzner is very nice, but the cloud offers are expensive. the dedicated server offers though… holy sweetness, specially the auction servers.
Dont forget smaller providers either, they can have some good stuff, but cannot really compete with the big players. (i have one for clean ip space for mail)
Over the years hosting i learned that paying slightly more is often worth it depending on the needs.
And as my requirements went up, i moved up in the tiers. If you have a need for the dedicated servers, gets cheaper for what you get (though you need to manage the hardware side then too…)
Oh and dont forget the Oracle free offers. I dont really trust Oracle, but free compute is free… maybe dont store sensitive stuff though
Hetzner is wild at how cheap you get hardware and included traffic.
German providers in general, everywhere is very expensive compared to these prices.
5 years ago… so probably not a very fair comparison, condiering all other prices went up too…
3-4000€ what did that person do??
I paid like 2000€ because i needed to take a few more hours. perfect parking in the exam though :)
afaik they also alias common linux/gnu commands like curl… but the syntax isnt like curl at all
To be fair, you can check the code they run or just use the API.
The hash is calculated locally, cut-off and then send, the server returns all hashes it found which start with your one and then you can check if yours in in the list locally.
Ideally the data would have been useless anyways as it wasnt really necessary for automated contact-tracing to keep it identifiable for government agencies.
See DP-3T (Decentralized Privacy-Preserving Proximity Tracing) standard
We sometimes get weird scam-sms, but thats about it.
(We is my family, other people dont really talk about it with others that much)
Strong argument, anything else?
