So that setup effectively gives you an all-ports available connection (except 22) from your mobile device and anything that connects through it, like a laptop? The exit node would be the VPS.

Could I skip the home router and EoIP+VPN directly between mobile and VPS, for instance?

I am in a situation (restrictive firewall on ethernet/wifi, prefer personal mobile connection but it’s cgnat or something equally crap) this could be very useful for me.

you mother-

I thought I had forgotten about it all. Now they’re all back. I can even hear the piano from 2g1c slowly playing out. Help.

Resetting federation to threads.net is even stronger proof that this was done by a ‘holds sporks so randum’ type of script kiddies.

Google Domains, creating new ways to exploit users right before being sold off to Squarespace.

What’s the recommended way to measure power consumption? Any instrument in particular?

Happy customer for years. However, they recently changed their price schemes. The cheapest plan (1 EUR monthly) no longer allowes custom domains, you need to pay more for that.

MBA courses must include an obligatory session of secondlife’s peniscopter so no one ever bothers coming up with another iteration of this clusterfuck ever again

wher is my weenie i cant pee

I’ve seen similar stuff multiple times, often with misquoted statistics. What many miss is that context is as important as stats.

That PRC echo chamber of a sub?

AMAs stopped being interesting a while ago. It was more like a quick press release session with celebrities trying to promote their latest stuff.

I kinda miss the IAmA part of it. People like us in usual or unusual circumstances sharing their daily lives. Researchers in remote islands, members of ethnicities or cultures that rarely get media attention, cool or unconventional jobs and how they got there. People and their stories.

Federation-wise it would be better if new users spread out. Between clueless redditors and impossible ideal, I prefer if they at least made an account and check out what Lemmy has to offer. The curious ones will eventually settle down and even redistribute into smaller instances.

People in 90s and 2000s used to get informed before going online, as it used to be a big spending and commitment. Between all the tech-utopia hype you also got to hear about what to avoid and how to behave.

Nowadays you only need a cheap smartphone and start scrolling through algorithm-fed content indefinitely. No need for technical knowledge because the company takes care of that. No need for an intro class, because who even bothers anymore?
