As a programmer it makes me livid being forced to poorly hand fill the paper only to see someone at the desk enter it all into a computer.

Also, couldn’t I have done this online beforehand?

On mobile I definitely do because I like to type really fast and sometimes I don’t have the patience to hit every key with 100% accuracy.

I go back and forth between having an internal monologue. Generally day to day I might not hear the voice though.

I’m multilingual so if I’m in another country surrounded by people speaking in another language the monologue will be constant as my brain is focused on being immersed in the language.

Edit: Fixed typo monolingual → multilingual

Mainly to keep my end devices appearing to connect to a VPN in the same country. I usually do that especially when I travel to other countries that seem to block WireGuard leaving their borders.

I suppose if I had fiber at home I’d do it all there but cable internet’s slow 30 Mbps upload speed along with constant power outages make it a no-go.

Honestly I just run Alpine Linux on a mini PC (router) or Raspberry Pi (NAS). I don’t like to screw around with outdated, bloated Debian-based distros.

Set up three WireGuard network interfaces on a VPS then accept traffic from your end devices to route through the three double hop VPN tunnels to a country with better privacy laws. Install an ad and tracking blocking DNS server to block all nefarious hostnames as well as more granular blockers for your browsers.

This is so fucking low class; I don’t even know what to say.

Have you used the web and/or VPN lately? I send the language header but am bombarded by content in the wrong language all the time.

If you set your language on a website what’s the difference between them using the header versus using the selected language for fingerprinting?

I understand what you’re saying but even I, a person who splits all their traffic between three different VPN tunnels and goes way too far with DNS blocking don’t really care about fingerprinting based on language.

If the person really cares so much they can set the browser language back to English then manually change it on each website they visit. We shouldn’t punish everyone on such a silly privacy preference.

Edit: Yeah of course just downvote me, don’t bother to engage in any kind of dialog.

It’s like all the developers in the field got handed access to some IP dataset and they’re just looking for reasons to use it. Screw the users I guess?

It would be way more user-friendly to use the language in the HTTP headers. As a web developer the fact that websites are too stupid to do this really grinds my gears. This is just as bad as assuming the language/region from the geolocation of the IP address.

C’mon guys…

Is it weird if I remember exactly how this feels?

It’s a 2009 Audi A3 hatchback with the sport package. While old, I’m in love with the car and it’s my first “nice” car. I already dumped way too much money into it fixing things, but I work from home and mainly use it on the weekend anyway.

I want to hold onto the car as long as possible. I do want it to look nice so it’s kind of worth it for me.

I had to get into it on my own time. I didn’t really like it the first time I tried watching it but I eventually started it back up again in VR and got sucked in.

I tried watching the first episode and turned off after 30 minutes because nothing happened. I had friends who loved watching it but it just seemed like a soap opera aimed at men—the drama was way too heavy for me.

My car is in rather excellent shape mechanically but I need to prioritize reupholstering and repainting it within the next few months.

I bought my current one because IPv6 failed to provision on the one they gave me when I moved to a bigger apartment just two units away. I found some post on Reddit about the problem and it mentioned one that “ignores” the lack of IPv6 provisioning and does it anyway (I’m a programmer and IT geek but I don’t really understand cable/DOCSIS well).

If the modem they provided is just a modem and it works well, I don’t think there’s much reason to get rid of it. But personally if it’s an all-in-one box that has “bridge” mode I’d still run away and just go with my own modem.

I’m on Spectrum and have tons of friends that always complain they’re shit. Spectrum itself isn’t shit, it’s the garbage equipment they set you up with.

Make sure whatever you get works well with IPv6. For whatever reason IPv4 can go out at random but their IPv6 has never failed me (in the Los Angeles area at least).

mesh network

Or traditional network with Ethernet backhaul and lots of access points. I really wish mesh networks would die off honestly.
