makingrain, to worldnews in Russia plans to try to block VPN services in 2024

Ah ok. Well, as I said I lived there for years and i’m telling you they can and do block VPN traffic (not all, another commenter mentioned Astrill) quite well. To say zero success is incorrect.

Location (and peering) might be a factor, so if you/your friends lived somewhere different to I your experience may differ.

makingrain, to worldnews in Russia plans to try to block VPN services in 2024

I spent years living in China. Do you really mean zero success?

OpenVPN stopped working in 2017. Deep packet inspection prevents the initial handshake. I hosted my own SS for a number of years before switching to wireguard, with more success… however, they IP ban a majority of VPS IP ranges, so the providers Linode/DigitalOcean were messed up.

And everyone experiences VPN slow down during CPC conferences.

It can only be worse now.

makingrain, to opensource in Organic Maps: An Open-Source Maps App That Doesn't Suck

Used it as my primary hiking tool recently (i know, I know - I had a compass and a map) and it worked a treat.

makingrain, (edited ) to asklemmy in What Lemmy Client(s) Do You Use?

I haven’t. Screenshots look nice but it appears to be only on G Play and i prefer FOSS.

Jerboa is close enough to RIF for me that it’s borderline perfect as is.

makingrain, to technology in AOL Pretends to be the Internet - The History of the Web

AOL even made its way to the UK. Free CDs all over the place, even accompanying paid coputing mags.

I’m glad it went away.

makingrain, to memes in Vice City was my favorite one

Vice City made me appreciate 80s music at a young age. I really appreciate the thought that went into selecting abd producing the sound track. I have the full OST release on CD - not sure if it is a bootleg or not, I don’t really care.

Not a problem in western Europe.

makingrain, to technology in The most popular Chinese keyboard app which is used by more than 450 million monthly users sends every key typed to Tencent in China.

Yes.. The pitfalls of FOSS is that some dude is working on it when they have free time. I’ve been using it for 2 years and can’t say I mind… would like to have the word suggestions, though.

makingrain, to selfhosted in VMs or containers?

I am with you. So easy to use. I have Dietpi running as lightweight OS on my VMs for when i don’t want LXCs.

makingrain, to asklemmy in People around the world, do you drink tap water without boiling?

Where is this place where there's a need to boil water (that won't remove clay or silt)? Just wondering
