That’s what gets me. This feels like an attempt to pass responsibility on and deflect away from the fact that the authorities were alerted and involved and did nothing to stop it.

I don’t know of a way to determine an SSID over the internet from just an IP, no. I’d either need to sniff traffic from your machine or run software on your machine to get the information to then lookup in one of the maps/databases.

It’s far from the only source of this data, and yes it can be used to geolocate you: https://hackers-arise.com/osint-tracking-the-suspects-precise-location-using-wigle-net/

I can’t find a link now, but I remember seeing an article in the past about watching for what networks someone’s laptop checks to see if they are available (saved networks it auto-joins) and using them to determine likely physical locations it is commonly located in.

No. You can get an anime body pillow, and it might be of your waifu, but they are separate things. Not all waifus are body pillows.

Yeah, I can see the bias they are trying to account for, but fail to see how excluding a birth from the statistics helps combat this in any way. Just because you stopped having kids doesn’t have any effect on the gender of your last kid.

I’m in this comment and I don’t like it.

What’s with the hate for rain sounds? Absolutely helps some people sleep.

You grossly underestimate how much some people truly love the idea of highly personalized ads. People who believe they are the best possible outcome and cannot fathom why anyone would have any problem with them at all. That’s who you are asking to dogfood this product, and they would and would find no issues with it.

Brandshield sent a fraud report to the domain registrar. Unless they are also your hosting provider, a domain registrar has no control over individual pages, only over the domain as a whole. So this was the only action you could expect to be taken, if you expected the domain registrar to act, and you sent them a fraud report hoping they’d act. So claiming they only tried to take an individual page down is disingenuous at best, and more likely just an out and out lie.

I mean, that’s how I use it. Don’t know what you’re doing.

This isn’t the very beginning, but a lot of the discussion can be read here - https://community.home-assistant.io/t/consider-to-avoid-adding-library-dependencies-from-frenck/315185

Arch is a great alternative to Linux and Linux is a great alternative to Linux.

You would be looking for the Texas Citizens Participation Act. That’s Texas’ Anti-SLAPP law. No idea how it holds up in comparison to other states’ though.

If you

understand what it is you’re replacing, what you’re replacing it with, and how to use the replacement

then you, almost by definition, are an advanced user.

A beginner should avoid these things, once you are far enough along to understand why you might want to replace one of these things, and form your own opinion on it, then go right ahead. But you’re no longer a beginner at that point.

Static IPs handed out by your local router are not dependent on having a static IP from your ISP. You do not need one to have the other. You can always have static IPs on your local network.

I’d certainly be interested in full details. This sounds like the best of all worlds of not needing to double reverse proxy, not hardcoding internal IPs in the config of a single reverse proxy on the VPS, and not losing the source IP.

Does this cause all traffic at the reverse proxy to appear to come from the source IP of your VPS or does it preserve the original source IP?

I’ve been working on setting up a similar setup myself and am trying to figure out specifically how to handle the forwarding on the VPS.

You’re not wrong, but you are leaving out some convenient parts of the experience. Yes, before, you could call a cab company and they would come pick you up and take you somewhere. But, you didn’t know how long it would take for your driver to pick you up. had no idea how much the ride would cost you, and there was a pretty good chance the driver wouldn’t accept a credit card for payment whether it was company policy to or not.

When illegal cab companies came along, they forced competition by giving you realtime information on where your driver was and how long until they would pick you up, price estimates before your ride begins, and a guaranteed method of payment that isn’t cash. Cab companies had to modernize with mobile apps, lower their prices to stay competitive, and improve the overall customer experience.

For as badly as the drivers are treated by the companies, the services were successful because the existing experience with established cab companies sucked.

They just announced that they opened up the OS for other manufacturers to use. I know Asus/ROG is supposed to have a headset in the works using the OS.
