Right, but the fact of the matter is you can do most things on any distro, it's very rare that any one distros is "really for" anything specific. They're not all that different to one another at the end of the day, and to a new user potentially paralyzed by choice this site doesn't really help either.
Sometimes it's much easier to say "here's 3 that offer the most stable new experience, try them out." And afterwards if you get really tech savvy then go down the niche distro-hopping rabbit hole.
More distros is certainly a good thing, but most new linux users don't even know what they're looking for or would even get to the technical depth where the difference between any two distros would actually matter to their daily use. Even more so with the current migration of gamers onto Linux.
A little more nuanced than that, at the bottom of the article it says:
According to a 2014 Gigaom interview with Paul Kane, then chairman of the Internet Computer Bureau, the domain name registry is required to give some of its profits to the British government, for administration of the British Indian Ocean Territory.[23] After being questioned as a result of the interview, the British Government denied receiving any funds from the sale of .io domain names, and argued that consequently, the profits could not be shared with the Chagossians, the former inhabitants forcibly removed by the British government.[24] Kane, however, contradicted the government's denial.[25][26]
Love my Pixel, love my Pixel Bud Pros, love my Pixel Watch. Would never use Chrome over Firefox, though I use google search & assistant all the time.
I have a gmail, but it's devolved into a "email i give to sites i know will spam me and sell my data and send me endless marketing crap" pit, and instead have a proton mail that I use for everything personal / important.
I have zero "brand loyalty" towards google though, I only use products of theirs insofar as they are the best in the class / category that I'm looking for. And for now, that happens to be first-party android devices / wearables, but certainly not browsers.
Far from a fanboy, but I also don't subscribe to the weird hate hivemind on here.
I assume some instance's don't have a front-end with URL previewing, but I can see it on my instance's alternate front-end (Alexandrite), and also on dbzer0's default layout.
I love that even the URL preview shows an IP address lol.
The site just grabs the viewers current IP I imagine it's probably whatever address is used by the instance to parse the URL and generate the preview, since it's different if I view it on my instance, vs if I view it on the original post on dbzer0
You're missing the point.
Do you think a president with an R next to their name would be any less of a bloodthirsty moron?
So now it's not only "they're bombing Palestine" but also all the other human rights violating shit that happens under a Republican president here at home.
Yes Biden should stop absolutely supporting the genocide, but threatening to replace him with literally the same plus LGBTQ+ discrimination, immigration fear mongering, more destruction of reproductive rights, etc. is certainly not a sane reaction.
The PWA is decently tolerable, but at least on Android 14 the Firefox one has some annoying visual issues pretty frequently.
That said, anything is better than installing the actual app and giving that POS even the smallest amount of access to my phone's info.
They were already scanning every message and DM for data tracking and whatnot to sell anyway, the only difference now is they're using it for TOS violations.
Privacy-wise nothing has changed, but actual consequences for actually bad things like racism / transphobia / csam / etc. is good. The only real issue is what if they decide that sharing a music file is piracy and now your account is penalized? What about uploading an NES ROM to a friend via a DM? Or sharing a link to an anime piracy website?
It's the kind of thing that has to be a balance between making sure users aren't doing stuff that is strictly against Discord's rules, but also about making a good-faith attempt to limit things that can get Discord themselves in trouble from companies who are becoming more and more aware that Discord has been used as a piracy-safe haven for quite some time now. (Like how they're limiting their "using discord upload URLs like your own CDN" issue last month.)
Like when TitanFall 2 was in the news about the hacked servers and so many people saw the headlines and automatically thought the "TF2" being mentioned was Team Fortress 2.
I will never let myself live down the stupidity and shame of falling for their bullshit not once, but twice. I'm ~$150 poorer thanks to my impressionable college-brain thinking their "complete in a few years" line back in 2014 was even remotely possible.
“highly configurable” and “very little effort to start using” don’t blend together [...] Arch because they’re the standard for “highly configurable” but they really demand some effort to start using them.
Then they should just use Endeavour, it's literally just arch with some nice QOL packages to start.
If that is indeed the case you should report this issue with as much detail as possible to the Proton team, because it seems like qBit is behaving propperly and there's some portion of Proton virtual adapter that is failing here.
I use Proton Vpn as well, but I have a custom wireguard interface & server switching script via their API that doesn't run into the same issue you're describing. So the issue must lie somewhere in the Linux GUI app.
Do you get the same issue if you try using an openvpn or wireguard config generated from logging into the proton vpn website? or maybe just from the CLI version of the app?
What you're describing seems like intended behavior.
Other than what someone else here noted about using the proton0 adapter rather than tun0, you should not have to do anything other than bind qBittorrent to your VPN's adapter to stop leaking any and all IP information to the peer swarm.
When you use ipleak.net, you will see your current IP address at the top. This has nothing to do with qbittorrent.
Farther down, you need to add the "Torrent Address detection" magnet link to qBittorrent, then that sectoin of the page will show what IP address is being broadcast by qBittorrent (which should match the IP shown at the top of the page when your VPJN adapter is present and active.)
If you have qBit bound to an adapter that is no longer present, you should see both the Speed chart on qBit drop to zero and the page's Torrent Address section will stop updating since it will no longer be receiving any new traffic.
I'm all for this post, but I feel like someone needs to ask:
What features from Youtube am I losing out on by using these alternate front-ends? (instead of just continuing the cat-and-mouse game between uBlock Origin and Google while at leat preserving the same features and UI that we're already very mu ch comfortable with)
