Yeah, no joke, I totally didn’t know about any of this, be certain that I’m going to consider this OpenWRT stuff when I’m buying a new router, it one of the most important pieces of my network, and can’t leave it to whatever the manufacturer plans to support in terms of security.

thanks to this post I found out about openwrt, and my tplink router model is compatible with it, I see this as an absolute win

are you me from other timeline?

I used to work for an ad heavy mobile game and ad serving company couple of years ago, and I had ad blocking at dns level in my house. It blocks not only ads, but also most tracking and telemetry. My bosses wanted to know why my devices were not displaying ads or dialing back to home, they were pretty fucking puzzled. They were terrified others like me were around. Basically their entire business model depends of people not knowing how to block ads and telemetry

I really need a community here solely dedicated to GitHub drama. This is so much better than Twitter drama, more relatable.

what a great article

It works with gpt to, but it’s less fun

if one side is enemy of objective data, you are going to piss them off without even knowing, unless you lie or try to be intentionally vague about everything

Game programmer here, lots of geometry. Usually 16 digits after the dot is ok. In graphics programming is also useful to define and use Tau (π×2), also defined to 16 digits

You have some business model here pal, I say go

You can’t say we didn’t know what was on the package, this is entirely self-inflicted.

I think Wren checks your boxes.

Do you have heard of Quantum League?

Mosquito (1994)

My older brother really did a number renting and bringing that movie to my house. I remember I saw it on a summer afternoon with him. You know, the time of the year when mosquitoes are everywhere.

I should watch it again now, I’m sure the effects aged poorly, and maybe that heals my wounds from the past.

Nice, I’ll look into it, sounds interesting. I’m definitely community driven and anarchism friendly, real freedom comes from our pairs, not from above.

I came to say this. Steam’s Proton is in some black magic fuckery status. It really runs windows games without problems. I had an old laptop which struggled to run windows 10 because telemetry and other shit services and windows update clogging everything, installed Linux and Steam and runs games I already gave up running there. I was very surprised at the fact that Linux gaming is very feasible nowdays. We have a lot to be thankful to steamdecks for.

This post left me thinking in something. What if we could organize, so a city-owned ISP with a built-in pihole exists? What if we can just block tracking at the metropolitan level as we do in our houses? What if we don’t just stop at DNS? What if we made just one city more private? What if we start with that?
