Wanted to send an informal file to someone just now and realized that silkky.cloud is dead.
Looked around for a new file sharing service and found this; https://wormhole.app/

^ What do you mean "used to"?? We still do!!
I blame systemd for economic inflation too, and Poettering is the Jacob Rees-Mogg of Open Source.

Oh, if you want some extra assurance, take note of your ISP-issued IP address (ipv4 format) and the time you download a certain torrent filename when on VPN, and check on https://iknowwhatyoudownload.com/ a couple hours later. If that same filename appears at the same time against your ISP-issued ad...

^ Ah, my bad. I was conflating your server setup with a manual WireGuard configuration. Somehow overlooked that you can have just Mullvad-CLI installed on a headless machine. You even mentioned Mullvad-CLI specifically before when you first signed up. Sorry, brain-fart on my part. As for the whole &...

^ Ah, okay. Means your client is on the server itself. You mentioned the "always-require-VPN" thing, meaning you're running the GUI version on that server? But you say it's headless. I'm a bit confused here. Anyway, if the always require toggle is enabled (assumingit's in the Mullvad GUI a...

^ For me it stops even shorter, at De-Loused In The Comatorium. I still rate that album very highly, but everything Mars Volta made after (that I've heard) seemed either too disjointed or self-indulgent, or just plain crap. I think it was simply a matter of line-up chemistry during that recording pe...

^ If you're running a WireGuard interface on the router then I assume it's running some open source WRT firmware or pfSense? I must admit that I'm not that well versed in router setup in a general sense, because routers all run different firmware and interfaces. If you've successfully activated a ki...

No Sudden Move For a man with a career as rich as Soderbergh this is another hit. Been planning on watching this. Your endorsement seals it. Will give it a go when I find the time. Finally gave this a watch. Was great. Watched it all the way through in on sitting, which is a rarity for me*. Beautif...

Great stuff. I checked following your instructions and I seemed to have set it up just fine because I don't see any packet loss. I'll inspect further tomorrow, though. (It's getting late.) It's mostly useful for those days your ISP is giving you problems (latency, download speeds, resolving problem...

Now you lot just need to wait till Gekko and I start some new shit here again. =P Also, I'd prefer to rename it to a simple "VPN and DNS Nonsense" because the Android bit was actually very small (just the first post) and most of it is really platform-agnostic, plus I don't like my name* on...

So it went from me ranting about Android's heavy-handed Private DNS function, to VPNs, to DNS filtering, to F-Droid (??) to pros/cons of double-hoping, to tracerouting.... Sure, it all seems inter-related, but collating that into something presentable..... you're asking me of all people? I'll try my...

Understood. I don't see myself doing anything that requires super-serious protection. However, Italian politics have been getting worse year after year since I was born and judging by how messy they are right now, it's better to expect even something worse around the corner. Same goes for almost an...

Side note: I should rely more on cinema from Northern Europe. Me too. Granted, I don't watch as much cinema as I used to, but the last couple of shows from that region I caught - Riders for Justice and another one about the guy running a helpline (Netflix made an American version of it as well) - w...

^ Most wouldn't need it, but it's useful for a couple of things like; 1. Datacenter integrity Even if a VPN doesn't log anything, the datacenters they rent from most likely log traffic at the hypervisor or router level. Let's say you use Mullvad's Milan servers. The provider knows there's incoming e...

Gekko, I suspect you'll love this. Dubby, smokey, sumptuous NY style deep house. https://www.nts.live/shows/louise-chen/episodes/louise-chen-19th-april-2022 If you manage to find a download somewhere, please hook me up. I'm making do with the measly 128kbps yt-dl rip for now. Some of the tracks in ...

^ You're already better than 99% of the population who don't even question why Candy Crush wants access to their call logs and contacts.

A tart the size of a cake?!
Why have I not experienced that before?!!

^ WhatsApp tracking is practically impossible to block via DNS. You can filter out dit.whatsapp.net without issue, but blocking some other domains might cause delayed notifications and whatnot. The main issue is that WhatsApp (and many other messenger apps) queries IP addresses directly for a lot of...

Long time since I did a mix dump, but I guarantee every of these is gold. In my overtly arrogant opinion, of course. All downloadable because #fuckstreaming Frida Darko - Montagssorbet mit Laut & Luise #122; https://soundcloud.com/lautundluise/montagssorbet122 Deadbeat & Sa Pa @ Resident Adv...

I blamed Apple because I noticed it appeared when the missus turned on her laptop. Ah, it's a MacBook then. Well, it's a desktop OS so you're not as restricted as on mobile. Little Snitch is probably overkill (and too expensive) for her needs though. I'm not up-to-date on macOS OpSec (work software...
