What is S.E class?

What kind of place do you go to to find these things? Sometimes I get really lucky (see my post history about my wonderful new printer), but if I could increase my odds that would be cool.

Dude. I thought That was bad. Just now I went to arstechnica to view one article and I did the same thing to “support” the site. It was 36MB in one minute.

This seems a bit weird because as detestable as Yeonmi Park is, she’s Korean and spends her time spinning lies about Korea. Does she talk about China?

Just yesterday I was on a news website. I wanted to support it and the author of the piece so I opened a clean session of firefox. No extensions or blocking of any kind.

The “initial” payload (i.e. after I lost patience approximately 30s after initial page load and decided to call a number) was 14.79MB transferred. But the traffic never stopped. In the network view you could see the browser continually running ad auctions and about every 15s the ads on the page would cycle. The combination of auctions and ads on my screen kept that tab fully occupied at 25-40% of my CPU. Firefox self-reported the tab as taking over 400MB of RAM.

This was so egregious that I had to run one simple test. I set my DNS on my desktop to my PiHole and re-ran my experiment.

Initial payload went from almost 14.79 -> 4.00MB (much of which was fonts and oversized images to preview other articles). And the page took 1/4 the RAM and almost no CPU anymore.

Modern web is dogshit.

This was the website in question. https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/welcomefest-dispatch-centrism-abundance/

Does this analysis hold for luxury goods? A Switch 2 is not a necessary purchase, and alternatives to it (games and game consoles) can be found for extremely cheap.

I also think Nintendo has even more strong competition today than it used to with the rise of cellphones and app stores. I’d argue those mobile games tend to be crap, but that’s a separate concern from how accessible they are…

The Epson initially worked with 3rd party ink then after a software update didn’t

Infuriating!

Interesting observation. It is indeed already installed with Fedora.

Apple bought and sponsored CUPS, essentially, until they no longer did. That story is very briefly touched on here https://www.phoronix.com/news/Apple-No-More-CUPS

I don’t know the full history of mdns and zero config networking, but Bonjour is indeed Apple’s implementation of it. In my printer’s web config page it specifically lets me enable/disable Bonjour, so I assume they are using Apple’s implementation. On Linux we have Avahi as a competing piece of software to provide the same service.

Seems unfair to not share what I’ve been printing! Plus some status/config pages and I ran a few tests to see how I can manually duplex print (odds then evens on the back). I only have a few sheets of printer paper so I’ve been running them through again and again 😆

“God did the State of Israel a favor that Biden was the president during this period, because it could have been much worse. We fought [in Gaza] for over a year and the administration never came to us and said, ‘ceasefire now.’ It never did. And that’s not to be taken for granted,” the former Israeli ambassador said.

Damn, really? Maybe the Democrats shouldn’t have put up a doddering, old, dementia-addled, genocide-enabling maniac for President, then, so that there wasn’t the whole candidate-switcheroo last second. Let me go blame myself for this.

So to be perfectly clear, setting up Wireguard is about bridging two LANs (or devices) to make them virtually appear as if they belong on the same network. For every client that connects they would need to be issued a key and every device would have to be set up. But all the traffic between the two “LANs” would be encrypted and secure.

But I don’t think WireGuard is what you’re looking for, because this would require setting up all these other people with WireGuard as well. Or doing a more complex setup where you use a VPS and WireGuard and have that serve an exit point instead of your home connection. Or any other number of more complex setups that would work but require a lot more effort… and it sounds like you were just looking for basic port forwarding.

Mullvad took that feature away a couple of years ago (presumably to combat CSAM dissemination). So if you were hoping to just have a secure path for someone to connect to your media server routed through Mullvad, I don’t believe that’s possible anymore.

It’s a somewhat convoluted story. Here are some links

• https://proton.me/blog/climate-activist-arrest
• https://old.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/ydcek3/what_became_of_the_french_climate_activist/
• https://www.wired.com/story/protonmail-amends-policy-after-giving-up-activists-data/

The takeaway is when he logged into his Protonmail they logged his IP address which helped track this individual down. But note that Reddit thread I linked. I also cannot find that much information about “what happened next,” or the details of who was arrested and why.

There may be other examples, but this particular case kinda hit the rounds back when it happened.

Depending on how you’re accessing this, and how many people you’re trying to set this up for, it would probably be easiest to learn how to deploy your own Wireguard network. In my case, my phone automatically connects to my own Wireguard on my server (an 11 year old laptop) and whenever I’m on the go I have full access to my LAN + PiHole DNS filtering.

So, what’s the point? The point is that you will be able to securely connect to your media server without exposing it directly to the internet, all without paying for a service to do what you can already do yourself, provided your ISP allows you port forward.

Ok good luck with your state-sponsored reeducation programs in your Nazi-adjacent Western democracies where the left holds no political power 👍.

For everyone else who has a fucking clue: when your government has a gestapo police state that rounds up and deports the people the state has deemed undesirable, guess what? The Nazis are already in control.

This is one of the most libbed up things I’ve ever seen a lemmygrad user post… Are you just a wrecker account?

Interesting. May need to check it out, but I pmuch only use Gnome or KDE. I hate having to configure the extra parts in a WM (widgets for bluetooth, wifi, etc…).

What makes hyprland so good? It just seems like another WM to me, but maybe I don’t get the interesting parts of it.

the number of times i’ve seen a scratched lib turn fash surprised me… at first.
