Even Endeavour comes with Discover installed, and stuff like Octopi exists and is pretty bug free these days.

If you’ve never had to dig into a registry file or obscure hidden folder path in Windows, you aren’t enough of a power user to ever have to in a Linux distro either.

Same speed, except they’re gouging me for $90 a month over here.

Isn’t pink generally the same phenomenon? Something about it being the “absence of green light” rather than its own distinct spot on the visible spectrum.

Don’t get my hopes up

Damn i forgot about boxhead… I must have spent more hours in that game than anything in my Steam library back in the day.

Top artist was The Thermals, top song was Escape by The Bloody Beetroots / Toxic Avenger

I also had the Alias 2, and then it became my mom’s phone after I moved on to my first smartphone (HTC One M7). Loved that stupid double flipping thing to death, such a great design with the e-paper or w/e for the buttons so they could change for the different perspective / context.

On both, but I haven’t bothered to touch mastodon in a while.

I can appreciate some of the ideas that draw people into Mastoson but for me it’s just super boring though, everyone that I followed on Twitter who moved over is still great to see content from, but the overall vibe of both the instance I’m on and the global federated feed is either just the same stuff for a whole day and a half or infinite small un-curated posts. It doesn’t have that twitter “feel” of stuff I want to see and stuff I might want to see.

Bluesky on the other hand has a lot of user-generated “feeds” that lets me try out some different options, many of which offer exactly what I miss about Twitter. Still no magic algorithms as smart as Twitter’s was / is, but the user-generated stuff does a good job most of the time in showing me content from accounts I follow, accounts that they interact with frequently, and content that is similar to what I follow and interact with. It’s a lot more satisfying and useful to scroll down for a bit than on Mastodon.

A little more nuanced than that, at the bottom of the article it says:

According to a 2014 Gigaom interview with Paul Kane, then chairman of the Internet Computer Bureau, the domain name registry is required to give some of its profits to the British government, for administration of the British Indian Ocean Territory.[23] After being questioned as a result of the interview, the British Government denied receiving any funds from the sale of .io domain names, and argued that consequently, the profits could not be shared with the Chagossians, the former inhabitants forcibly removed by the British government.[24] Kane, however, contradicted the government’s denial.[25][26]

Love my Pixel, love my Pixel Bud Pros, love my Pixel Watch. Would never use Chrome over Firefox, though I use google search & assistant all the time.

I have a gmail, but it’s devolved into a “email i give to sites i know will spam me and sell my data and send me endless marketing crap” pit, and instead have a proton mail that I use for everything personal / important.

I have zero “brand loyalty” towards google though, I only use products of theirs insofar as they are the best in the class / category that I’m looking for. And for now, that happens to be first-party android devices / wearables, but certainly not browsers. Far from a fanboy, but I also don’t subscribe to the weird hate hivemind on here.

I assume some instance’s don’t have a front-end with URL previewing, but I can see it on my instance’s alternate front-end (Alexandrite), and also on dbzer0’s default layout.

I love that even the URL preview shows an IP address lol.

The site just grabs the viewers current IP I imagine it’s probably whatever address is used by the instance to parse the URL and generate the preview, since it’s different if I view it on my instance, vs if I view it on the original post on dbzer0

Just fun to notice I guess.

I will never let myself live down the stupidity and shame of falling for their bullshit not once, but twice. I’m ~$150 poorer thanks to my impressionable college-brain thinking their “complete in a few years” line back in 2014 was even remotely possible.

If that is indeed the case you should report this issue with as much detail as possible to the Proton team, because it seems like qBit is behaving propperly and there’s some portion of Proton virtual adapter that is failing here.

I use Proton Vpn as well, but I have a custom wireguard interface & server switching script via their API that doesn’t run into the same issue you’re describing. So the issue must lie somewhere in the Linux GUI app.

Do you get the same issue if you try using an openvpn or wireguard config generated from logging into the proton vpn website? or maybe just from the CLI version of the app?

Are you misreading the webpage?

What you’re describing seems like intended behavior. Other than what someone else here noted about using the proton0 adapter rather than tun0, you should not have to do anything other than bind qBittorrent to your VPN’s adapter to stop leaking any and all IP information to the peer swarm.

When you use ipleak.net, you will see your current IP address at the top. This has nothing to do with qbittorrent. Farther down, you need to add the “Torrent Address detection” magnet link to qBittorrent, then that sectoin of the page will show what IP address is being broadcast by qBittorrent (which should match the IP shown at the top of the page when your VPJN adapter is present and active.)

If you have qBit bound to an adapter that is no longer present, you should see both the Speed chart on qBit drop to zero and the page’s Torrent Address section will stop updating since it will no longer be receiving any new traffic.

I’m all for this post, but I feel like someone needs to ask: What features from Youtube am I losing out on by using these alternate front-ends? (instead of just continuing the cat-and-mouse game between uBlock Origin and Google while at leat preserving the same features and UI that we’re already very mu ch comfortable with)

massive props to VH, it’s an awesome modpack, though getting started can be brutal depending on how lucky you are with your seed.

I believe they’ve (Google) been somewhat successful in convincing carriers / 3rd party OS devs like Samsung to start implementing RCS in their own messaging apps. There’s even a 3rd party app on iOS that can use it now.

Check out the XDA Forums section for your carrier’s version of whatever model of phone you have. Not all carriers make it trivial (or even possible) to unlock the bootloader and flash custom recovery images, but if it’s possible then someone there has certainly done it.
