  • for example, i browse to a completely new website that nobody ever visited. Nobody uses linux, so i go to gnome.org and first it loads because ther router/firewall never knew that URL before. Then in a few seconds gets blocked pending "ai classification", then it gets permanently blocked because that asshole of my boss decided to block every website that offers software downloads

    or, for example, i take a linux distro that literally nobody uses, when i use pacman it firstly load packages because i'm the first one to access the download server, then in the middle of downloads the firewall learns what those server does, and blocks them during download (invalid SSL due to MITM that replaces content with the "access blocked" message)

    and because the blocklist is infinite, even listening to offline music gives errors when using music APIs

    i wonder what's the point of offering "free wifi" like this. It's cheaper and gives a better customer experience to just remove the access points and say "no, we don't have wifi" rather than "we have wifi but you need to login with facebook and you can only use it for whatsapp and to browse our website". I heard the boss was pissed that the upstairs neighbors were "stealing" the wifi, as he saw traffic during night time

  • I was used to normal fortinet filter (they block porn and warez in the work net which is acceptable) but this new one seems extreme, borderline unusable. You have one chance in the router lifetime to browse an obscure website and then next time it's already in blacklist. I think they pay some kind of subscription for ai autoclassification because there's no way with human support it can be updated this fast

  • It's all blocked and I didn't find any single VPN to work (didn't try those with shadowsocks)

    Tailscale worked but only if i login using 5G, then after choosing my exit node on my own server, connect to the crippled WiFi

    With LLMs, censoring internet at the router level has become trivial

  • WTF is this, a poor imitation of the million dollar homepage?

    Instead of a creative canvas, it's possible to buy a lazy hyperlink on a medium post?

    And the index is even on linktree.

    Why it is also called "open" Ulysses when it's all completely based on closed source software

  • But your endpoints are already available to everyone with just a nslookup.

    Maybe it's more the permanent history of that, so if you run something like "radarr.example.com" then you wouldn't have plausible deniability if you're sued and the CT logs are presented as proof of your wrongdoing

  • Well I think the opposite.

    Saving that one single person is great propaganda. Donald would definitely throw one million people under the bus in order to save that single individual

    See the recent medicaid cut to make a few hundred billionaire friends happier/richer

  • It is unrealistic that parts with that age are brand new, available in that quantity. It might happens that some distributor misplaces some box and a couple computers are old new stock after a decade, but hundreds?

    Also: W11 pro OEM is 120 euro and office 365 perpetual doesn't even exist, and if they meant office 2024 home and business is 299 euro. 120+299 exceed the listing price

  • Yes ok from an accounting point of view.

    But from a functional point of view?

    I see how my bank teller works: they connect to a terminal server

    I see how my other bank works: a VM that runs AS/400 that is acting as a terminal to their mainframe

    Why they're changing computers so often? The first one can use any PC released in the past 15 years and the second one can use any released in the past 30 years

  • My gripe with that is that the seller is scamming inexperienced people, they think that they are buying a brand new PC while instead it's not

    (The fact that a 400 euro PC includes 600 euro of software licenses should ring a bell about the legitimacy to the buyer, though)
