OMG Hypnotoad HTPC is so much better! Why didn’t I thnnk of that?

Server (big iron): Bender

Desktop (main character): Fry

Laptop (for accounting): Hermes

Netbook (small and dumb): Nibbler

Phone (held to my head): BrainSlug

HTPC (one big viewport): Leela

I have a single Pikachu sticker that says “ピカチュズキ” (Pikachuzuki) on my Suzuki. It throws people off because I’m not Japanese.

I still have to use MBR instead of GPT because there are people still running Windows versions that can’t read it.

It would produce something completely different every time.

You either need to be indistinguishable from everyone else, or indistinguishable from your last page load.

Just randomly inserting fake fonts, changing your screen resolution by a few pixels, changing the variant of English between US, Canada, UK and Australia. Rendering text and images with unnoticeable random dither in the subpixel hinting. That sort of stuff.

Microg pairs best with LineageOS. I’ve done both and I prefer the GrapheneOS sandbox. It actually passes safetynet at the moment.

Just don’t expect RCS messages or NFC payments to work on either.

I’ve configured my home wifi to capture all DNS regardless of its intended recipient. It’s unencrypted so it’s possible.

I also use encrypted DNS on my phone.

That’s basically it. My Ubuntu server is a router, NAS, plex server, public statum-1 NTP server, wordpress server, nextcloud server, security camera NVR, SMTP/IMAP mail server, CUPS print server, tor relay, and probably a few other things I forgot about.

You can do a lot with a single CPU from 2015.

I don’t have hostapd on it anymore. I now have dedicated APs on OpenWRT. The main problem with using a WNIC for an AP is that they don’t typically have a very strong broadcast output. I had to add an amplifier, and even then it wasn’t great.

I’ve done this before on Ubuntu. You can install nftables for routing, then install hostapd for a wifi AP.

In your network settings did you set the private DNS server to “https://sky.rethinkdns.com/”?

DoT doesn’t work on my company network, but DoH is indistinguishable from other HTTPS net traffic.

I don’t even use it. Once I got SPF/SSL/DKIM/DMARC working, there was less spam than what I get on gmail.

You don’t engage with them. Don’t file complaints. You don’t publicly announce your hate for them on social media. Don’t “build up to it” with petty crimes.

You keep your nose clean. Go to school. Get a job. Keep your invasive thoughts to yourself. Live a normal life.

Then one day, you can execute a CEO in the street and nobody will be around to stop you. Go straight to a 5-star wanted level and run.

Now that we have reverse cycle AC (heat pumps), 100% is a low bar.

I go years between linkedin logins. Every time I log in to look at a profile or whatnot, I get bombarded with spam for months.

The owners closed the restaurant and started a new one so I let the domain lapse.

The easiest way to get a different IP is to hotspot your phone (or just use your phone on mobile data).

You’ll be behind a moving CGNAT address with a thousand other people.

Nope. But if the search results didn’t find a single social media pic, it vibes like a scam. It’s probably just hooked into Google image search or something.

I uploaded a celebrity photo and it only returned a few TV screengrabs and promo shots. Not even a fan selfie.

ISPs often have SMTP relay servers. If you hook into that, your mail gets instant street cred.

IMO anything sold by weight should be measured by weight in a recipe.

I could have an exception for things under 20g, which scales seem to get wrong a lot. I can do spoons, but not cups.

Also: Metric only. A tablespoon is anywhere from 13g to 20g depending on who you’re talking to. A gram is always a gram.
