Surely there is some way to configure this on Windows. I’m so unfamiliar with Windows software anymore, but I’m sure that any firewall worth it’s salt would be able to increase the TTL on outbound packets.

iptables on my laptop (not tethered, but using the phone’s wifi hotspot). I don’t even have a jailbroken android phone anymore because my banking app stopped working on custom ROMs and fighting with it wasn’t a good use of my time.

This is correct. I pay for the unlimited plan with Verizon, but it only has 5GB of hotspot data. I use an iptables rule to increment the TTL by one, giving me unlimited data on my laptop.

T-Mobile used to work the same way when I used it back in 2016.

This is the way.

You’re not missing anything but ads. I cannot understand the Sync hype and attribute all posts about it to promotion.

Out of curiosity, what sort of issues were/are you having with it?

People love shitting on Purism on Reddit for whatever reason. Maybe they’re right? But I bought a Librem 14, use it as my daily driver, and I love it. I even had a problem with it after more than a year of use which Purism promptly fixed for no charge whatsoever. My experience with the company has been nothing but positive.

This would be so easily bypassed that the whole concept, while technologically cool, is completely useless. Someone could apply a very subtle smoothing filter and then do whatever they wanted with it after via stable diffusion (or use the myriad of alternative methods to remove the “protection”).

“Twitter… [is] a goddamn blight.”

Pro-tip: you can block communities that annoy you.

He was talking to Meta before they announced Threads and he signed an NDA. I strongly agree with @CCL@links.hackliberty.org’s opinion that the recent popularity Mastodon has enjoyed has gone to his head.

Put plainly, I don’t trust him at all.

You should check out the book “Daemon” by Daniel Suarez (if you haven’t already). Based on your post, you’d probably like it a lot. There’s a sequel, too: “Freedom”.

I respect your opinion, but I worry that it’ll lead to violence, which doesn’t really solve anything.

Ohhh!! That makes sense. Goddamn the wealthy, lol

I have mixed feelings about measuring their wealth based on share prices because they couldn’t sell their shares without tanking the price, right? Elon didn’t actually increase his wealth; just the value of something that he has a shitton of went up.

We could also tank the value of his stocks by not buying or using his stupid shit!. For example, anyone angry that he is rich should definitely not be using Twitter.

“Eat the rich”… blah blah blah. Much easier to just protest the rich and take our money back by not giving it or our time to the rich in the first place.

CLI is king ;-)

I’ve never heard of this dude before now. I don’t normally like this kind of music, but I really like this a lot! Thanks for posting it!

Coming up with ideas for programs to code is the part I struggle with the most, so I like to use codewars.com when I’m trying out a new language. Really, the only way to learn is to practice, practice, practice.
