<.< What are the cartels trying to intimidate you for?

Not just reading. A while back, some ISPs moved towards replacing DNS queries to known DNS servers with their own replies.

Fortnite, Apex Legends, Guild Wars 2 (which admittedly released on Steam later) and more all prove this claim false.

These kinds of comments are just silly. Explain how Valve has a monopoly.

Read that as cosmetologist and was thoroughly confused.

Bidens suggestion was explicitly about allowing Palestinians to flee into Egypt short term instead of being forced to flee repeatedly within the country.

Trying to equate the two is quite disingenuous.

There’s also something to be said about some services being cordoned off in a VPN while leaving some public with security. I don’t necessarily want everyone within my full network if all I want is to share one service with them.

This is both disingenuous and extremely reductive.

The majority of foreign aid in the past few years has gone to Ukraine. It also goes into disease prevention, such as the Ebola outbreak, and fighting aids and other diseases.

Are there issues? Absolutely. But those issues are more about the US not caring that it destroys existing infrastructure (for instance Haitis ability to grow food) while replacing it with dependence on the US.

Personally I’d prefer a single genocide over a genocide, all foreign aid being pulled, dumping vital irrigation reserves, and more.

Why don’t we just throw Lemmy behind wireguard while we’re at it.

Literally anything can go behind a VPN. Doesn’t mean much at all. And the majority of those are commonly left on the open internet for friends and family, which would be annoying af to set up with WireGuard.

I have enough issues dealing with VPN issues in my professional life, I don’t want to have to deal with them in my personal life as well.

Don’t yuck other people’s yum.

They don’t drive, why are they getting gas? They said never had a job, how does that equate to going outside? No mention of groceries at all, I’d assume they are mooching those off their parents as well.

Not saying it’s real, but your stated reasons of it being fake are pretty much directly in contradiction to what they claim.

It can be unencrypted, but isn’t a requirement.

Would’ve

Seriously?

Plex, Jellyfin, VaultWarden, AdGuard, Home Assistant, GameVault, any flavor of pastebin, any flavor of wiki, and the list goes on.

If you’re feeling spicy throw whatever the hell you want onto a reverse proxy and put it behind a zero trust login.

The idea that opening up anything at all through to the open internet is “dumb” is antiquated. Are there likely concerns that need to be addressed? Absolutely. But don’t make blanket statements about virtually nothing belonging on the open internet.

This is very short sighted. I can think of dozens of things to put on the open internet that aren’t inherently public. The majority are things for sharing with multiple people you want to have logins for. As long as the exposed endpoints are secure, there’s no inherent problem.

They’ve passed the point of caring. Originally they would bend over backwards to help you, local(ish) call centers, going out of their way to make you happy.

Now things are much more hit or miss, sometimes you’re just told “tough shit”.

Lmfao

“Bad thing is already on the table, let’s make it happen for sure!”

🤦‍♂️

You think this is bad? Go look at compile time Blazor error messages.
