You got it all wrong, you just have to work out a lot and then eat all the carbs you want

Have you verified that? I would start by checking (with wireshark) for any non-wireguard traffic coming from your machine

There are small SATA backplanes that allow you to fit 3 HDDs into two 5.25" slots (or 4 HDDs in 3 slots). You can find used ones for cheap (mine was 30€), and with some cheap tower case you could get something NAS-like with hot-swap drive bays for way cheaper

They shouldn't be able to see anything except encrypted wireguard traffic. Are you sure all torrent-related traffic is going through the VPN (e.g. requests to indexers) and that traffic stops flowing when the VPN connection drops?

Use a VPN? If you're using containers, you can bind qbittorrent to gluetun to prevent leaks

I never had any problems with cp either. But the post makes it seem like dd is somehow more error prone, which makes no sense to me

Article about encryption technology that doesn't even mention the ol' reliable PGP you can use over any communication channel?

What do you mean? Explicitly having to set if= and of= is way harder to screw up than mixing up the order of arguments for e.g. cp.

/c/technology

look inside

"consider Alexa or Google Home"

You only have one year of bio in high school?

Assuming vacuum but still writing c instead of c_0? And what did D and H ever do to you to deserve this treatment? I feel sick

And many mainboards also suck in this regard. On mine, I can set secure boot mode to either 'Windows OS' (which means secure boot on) or 'Other OS' (which means secure boot is off). Took me a couple hours to figure that out

The biggest offense here is calling something without sleeves a jacket

I get your perspective, but wouldn't everyone involved also have to learn how to deal with macOS? Learning how to deal with Linux isn't necessarily more complicated

May I interest you in Linux?

It's not just apple though. Wanting HDMI, RJ45 and more than 2 USB-A also severely limits the selection of Lenovo, Dell or HP models

Funny interpretation of the term 'endless' you got there

You mean redirecting on your router? How should google stop you from doing that? And why would you redirect to cloudflare lol

I set up my firewall to block all outgoing traffic to ports 53 and 853 (except for the upstream traffic from my pihole). I suppose DoH could still sneak through though.

FYI for those using DNS-based adblocking: I discovered that my AndroidTV box asks 8.8.8.8 when my local DNS server blocks a request.
