Go to ipleak.net and activate the torrent check, paste the magnet link into your torrent app while on VPN and it will tell you what IP address it detects, if it's not the same as your regular ISP then you can verify that it's using your VPN and not your standard internet connection.

They are afraid. Gold, just means we need to keep working on making this community better. Stronger.

I use Navidrome as the backend and DSub to connect to it. When I'm on the go I use a site-to-site wireguard VPN connection back to my server to listen to music and it also caches the songs so even if I don't have reception I can still listen to my music.

When I search for this it has a WordPress icon. I wouldn't trust it.

If you know how to use docker look up gluetun, it basically allows you to tunnel everything through the VPN and still access everything locally.

I think this is a sound way of doing it. Rather than trying to force people to switch and potentially alienating them from using an app like signal and moving away from their usual apps. The people who really want to continue chatting with you will come along for the ride.

This is how we do it here as well but I find the lack of sleep even if I went home an hour or two earlier impacts the entirety of the workday.

Yep, after you realize the majority of the stuff you can buy of Amazon is mass produced trash with zero quality. It was easy to remove.

I do this exact thing and after a year or so of running my invidious instance locally I'm not banned and never had any issues and I use it about 5 hours per day give or take. Hope this helps.

If you want privacy try njalla. A bit more expensive but they do try hide as much data as possible and I've never had any downtime with them.

If it were up to me, the first boot I would make sure theres no internet access either via Ethernet or wifi that ensures the computer cannot phone home to its mothership. From there either reinstall windows fresh or straight to Linux if you want to avoid spyware.

I use a beelink nuc, put on Linux and just connect it via HDMI to my tv, this way I have no real restrictions and I can keep it up to date easily.

This used to happen to me an older version but since upgrading to 0.0.40 I've not experienced this anymore

Yes it's been like that forever. Before it used to outright block the entire domain.

Yes, especially since we can subscribe to other communities. A lot of the ones I used to browse on reddit came over so it's an easy switch (except for my local city sub)

Weak active directory password auditing. Going to be great fun for service desk once the forced password change occurs.

It's worse if you take the day off and everyone is looking for you, so when you come back to work the next day there's 10 tickets from that day to now deal with.

I'd hazard a guess that botnets and cryptominer worms cause the uptick in network hashrate for the centralized pools because it's easy to point hundreds of thousands of machines to 1 large pool.

Looks like revolut works in Australia but based on their help page

"maximum of 20new virtual cards every 30 days"

Unless you need to burn through virtual cards like nobody's business this would be more than enough, all your bank would see is you sending money to revolut so all those data points on what you spend money on in the banking apps won't work anymore.
