I think it’s worth mentioning to OP that Vero is based on Kodi, and streaming platform support there is innofficial on a best-effort basis.

Which, for Netflix, meant I had to log in again every few weeks, the login process involved doing it on a computer and transferring files, then there was a recurring 2GB download of Widevine to be able to play content, and then it sometimes worked.

It’s a problem created by streaming platforms and they should be blamed for that situation, but maybe it’s worth mentioning that in a thread where someone is asking for a streaming box.

You made me read the Comet browser review, as I did not have the courage to install it myself.

Seems useful if done privately and under supervision:

• has an AI chat sidebar that can interact with what you’re viewing
• can fill out forms (eg. you can dump unstructured text and have it fill, instead of copying field by field)
• it can browse the internet for you - you ask it a question and watch it browse pages to find one with an answer
• it can summarize the currently watched page. Which at first I thought was ridiculous but sometimes you need to get information from shitty bloated articles with 10 paragraphs of introduction

As long as it’s optional and done right (eg. It can fill the form but it’s me who submits it, and the model is running locally), sounds very useful. Also no reason why it can’t be a Firefox addon instead of built in.

I’ve had an overvoltage (I think) burn ports on my switch. Short loss of power during a storm.

It was an adventure to find that problem, and it felt like magic too. My only advice is to diagnose if starlink port 2 is burned (just connect the working network to it and see if it still works) and if not, get a replacement for your 2nd router.

Are you fine now?

If resource usage was low, it could also be an X11 problem solved by a wayland distro

State mandated XMPP. I didn’t know I’m cool with authoritarianism until now!

It’s that part of (every other) year!

it’s so dystopian when I travel to countries where cashless vendors are a thing. Recently Germany took me by surprise, they have been a bastion of cash for a long time, and during my last trip there were many restaurants with “no cash accepted” signs. Just like in the UK or Norway where privacy is already a lost cause

I don’t know about the number of subaddrs, haven’t hit the limit myself. The rest sounds good to me.

The double asterisk was part of the netiquette era of internet. As well as underscores and all caps.

The eth -> xmr route is probably the best, you can buy eth for cash in atm for extra anonymity. Then use one of non-kyc exchanges to swap it. Don’t ever reuse the subaddress you used on the exchange and you should be good, if you feel extra paranoid you can transfer xmr to a new wallet after receiving it. Each transfer you make covers your tracks a bit more.

There’s this but it blocks only one of the many methods voyeurs use.

The FOSS vtuber community is not far from that

Glad that they added it, it wasn’t there when I tested them. Why does such a simple thing require a browser extension though

A search company which requires an account with your actual email? And doesn’t accept anonymous payments?

It’s fine as one of the options, but if there’s no option for tokenized identity (that’s easy to change when the plan runs out) and anonymous payments, it’s a data collecting operation like any other.

See Mullvad and PPQ for how it’s done correctly.

It’s the worst when you’re suffering and the doctor just says tests are fine. I hope you have someone who can make an appointment for you and your suffering ends soon.
