Most successful ventures start with an expensive lawsuit against a billion dollar company. /s

I agree that MacBooks would be pretty great if it wasn’t for the operating system.

You could make a Kubernetes cluster. Otherwise I don’t think running multiple old computer really makes sense.

Noctua partnership? God this looks shit

The ISP shouldn’t even see the search term given basically everything on the internet uses https.

The ISP will see the domain names of the pages you visit if you use their DNS or some other unencrypted DNS but those are unlikely to contain the search term.

Any extension could leak this information as well.

Is your default engine something other then the mentioned search engines? The search suggestion feature leaks information too.

Did you click on any search results?

I found that the Firefox Browser history is often incomplete.

Yeah without debt forgiveness the country is fucked.

It’s literally one guy’s opinions

Does it have opinions about South Africa?

This problem might Kali specific but I’ve definitely had apt-get upgrade get itself into failure modes that couldn’t be resolved with apt.

They release a little burst of dopamine in my brain

I’m cool with paying a few bucks for an ad free version as long as it’s not a subscription. But it’s annoying that it’s often only available as an in-app purchase that doesn’t work without google play services.

Fashtech is the more established term.

Arming the people is the right response, I hope it is enough.

Fashware

I’d argue it’s not a question of intelligence but of network equipment. In many countries ISPs are private companies and there which complicates measures that require specialised equipment. Blocking DNS is basically free, routers can void IPs and IP ranges, broad checks for sequences in package payload are more expensive (scanning for Wireguard) and approaches to distinguish OpenVPN from other SSL even more.

I’d be careful with wireguard if VPN is illegal. OpenVPN has a SSL handshake. Wireguard has a Wireguard handshake.

OpenVPN fingerprinting exists too but it’s an actual effort. For Wireguard you just need tcpdump and a basic filter.

I think the Chinese VPN ban is a bit exaggerated

You can rent a server and run OpenVPN on that server on port 443. Maybe even with port sharing so that the server can act like a regular webserver too.

It’s easier to trace the traffic back to you if the server runs in your name but it’s pretty hard to tell that you are using VPN if you aren’t connecting to a known VPN provider.
