The image on the left gives me the creeps.

If you set your language on a website what’s the difference between them using the header versus using the selected language for fingerprinting?

I understand what you’re saying but even I, a person who splits all their traffic between three different VPN tunnels and goes way too far with DNS blocking don’t really care about fingerprinting based on language.

If the person really cares so much they can set the browser language back to English then manually change it on each website they visit. We shouldn’t punish everyone on such a silly privacy preference.

Edit: Yeah of course just downvote me, don’t bother to engage in any kind of dialog.

It’s like all the developers in the field got handed access to some IP dataset and they’re just looking for reasons to use it. Screw the users I guess?

It would be way more user-friendly to use the language in the HTTP headers. As a web developer the fact that websites are too stupid to do this really grinds my gears. This is just as bad as assuming the language/region from the geolocation of the IP address.

C’mon guys…

When are you all going to stop crying and start making fun of this stuff again.

…continues to bitch and moan…

No but other countries might want to take stock of what’s happening and weigh the pros and cons of increasing their defense spending.

I get that this is in the news but whether it’s actually something newsworthy feels debatable.

I had to get into it on my own time. I didn’t really like it the first time I tried watching it but I eventually started it back up again in VR and got sucked in.

I tried watching the first episode and turned off after 30 minutes because nothing happened. I had friends who loved watching it but it just seemed like a soap opera aimed at men—the drama was way too heavy for me.

I bought my current one because IPv6 failed to provision on the one they gave me when I moved to a bigger apartment just two units away. I found some post on Reddit about the problem and it mentioned one that “ignores” the lack of IPv6 provisioning and does it anyway (I’m a programmer and IT geek but I don’t really understand cable/DOCSIS well).

If the modem they provided is just a modem and it works well, I don’t think there’s much reason to get rid of it. But personally if it’s an all-in-one box that has “bridge” mode I’d still run away and just go with my own modem.

I’m on Spectrum and have tons of friends that always complain they’re shit. Spectrum itself isn’t shit, it’s the garbage equipment they set you up with.

Make sure whatever you get works well with IPv6. For whatever reason IPv4 can go out at random but their IPv6 has never failed me (in the Los Angeles area at least).

mesh network

Or traditional network with Ethernet backhaul and lots of access points. I really wish mesh networks would die off honestly.

Take a trip through flyover country (my hometown!), there are still loads of stupid people everywhere.

This is actually why I usually install a VPS in whichever country I’m physically in—my end devices always appear to be connecting to something innocent in-country (like a corporate VPN). That VPS then does the double-hop out of the country so that the VPS also seems pretty innocent too.

I don’t think it’s actually more secure though since the VPS is in my name and it’s technically decrypting everything. But I’m a bit less paranoid about that. (I’m not doing tons of illegal shit anyway.)

Any Scandinavian country

You have friends?

Those words would’ve been worth more had he also not gone “utterly insane and destructive” during his time in government.

What a fucking loser. Go back to your shit hole welfare state you backwater fuck. Raping the rest of the country for $41 fucking billion and you want to run your mouth like the little bitch we know you are.

Edit: No you know what? I’m sick of this shit. Here’s the contact page for this prick if you are too.

That’s wild, I see it now but earlier I was scrolling everywhere looking for it.
