The biggest hastle was that any persistent tunnel I would make over any protocol (I tried OpenVPN, WireGuard, SSH, Shadowsocks, etc) to any IP address would be blocked after (I think) 3 hours. This let them basically block any VPN that wasn’t already explicitly blacklisted outright.

My solution was to make a simple API on the server that got a new IPv6 address for the server and returned it.

There was a WireGuard server running on port 53 and listening from any incoming IP. On my devices I would call the API every hour when idle and change the IP in the WireGuard config. On Android I had a Tasker automation to do this and on my laptop a shell script on a cronjob.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but maybe it’s just you who can’t bring the couch to completion…?

Lmao part of the reason I went so deep into the Linux world was because my school board had super advanced network policies that were able to effectively block specific traffic and pretty much any commercial VPN. I had to build my own server at home to connect to from school using a bunch of traffic cloaking techniques to get unobstructed internet access.

I didn’t really use any sites that were blocked anyway, but it made me go “watch me bitch” to whoever was overengineering the censorship system in our school board’s IT.

A special kind of chuckle.

Every fucking “select the squares” Recaptcha I do I end up failing multiple times. Am I a mf robot or do other people experience this too?

This would make a ton of sense if your choice of Lemmy instance were not just that; a choice. It’s not a characteristic innate to your being that you’re born with or something.

You can choose to associate with whatever instance you want and swap it up with another account somewhere else if you want at any time (you can prob keep the same username if you want too).

I love me some bullet trains, but there is a certain distance that makes planes way more viable.

There should be a lot more (and higher quality) high speed rail between cities of moderate distance, however.

Imagine you got a job offer where health care is not a given. I don’t expect to have any health problems, but if it happens, and my insurance won’t cover (all of) it, wow it would suck to live there.

It’s almost like you’re missing some kind of essential form of medical care.

There are some fields like computer science where the pay in the US has the potential to be much higher. But, it really has to be—and significantly so, imo—in order to make the reduction in or outright lack of guaranteed services something acceptable.

FTFY:

It’s not considered worth undertaking such an initiative when most nuclear power plants have no problem just leaving the heavy (solid concrete and steel) casks as they are. They are not some looming threat, and they just sit there, outside, taking up a pretty small amount of space on the plants’ property. Nothing else is done because there is no real incentive to move them; no one cares.

In a few months though I can handle a change or gap in insurance though so I’ve got a light at the end of the tunnel at least

This is just so fucked. In no way do I mean on your end, but just that the system begets inhumane situations like this.

Never thought a single non-canadian would have even heard of Corner Gas lol

WTF is the screen scaling set to on that laptop?

omg jlai.lu is some amazing french wordplay.

damn, you might get me back on Windows if it feel like that 🥴
