I’m at odds about the whole violence thing. People should be allowed to express how they feel, even if it means that they express the most grotesque way in how they’d like to handle someone they don’t like. One cannot always assume someone will have the means and resources necessary to carry out the perfect murder on someone.

If we are to glorify the concept of anonymity, why are we so afraid of these kinds of expressions? You won’t know who I am, you won’t know where I am and you won’t know much about me unless I give out details or hints to either of those things. I’ve long stopped making death threats to people online years ago because it sounded absolutely ridiculous, knowing that I’ll never be able to reach the person whom I hate. Much less, even go through with the threat at all.

That doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be allowed to express how nice it’d be if I held someone’s head down while riding an escalator as the feed of the steps gradually grates the skin off their face.

I think this is really just a symptom of how social media of all walks on the internet don’t really do enough in the way of security and privacy so that these things are simply just that - expressions.

let me try it out on you

Uh, that’s what the report button is for. Let me tell you something, you sound like the kind of person who go around calling people “soft” or “snowflake”. You believe there should not be any cyber bullying laws. You believe everyone should just shut up and take it. But I bet you, you’re the biggest snowflake of them all because as soon as someone dishes out what you give to others online, you’ll be squealing to the moderators before you know it.

Don’t lie to yourself, I see trashy people like you pull this kind of act all of the time. You’re nothing special.

Oh, so they’re aware the stated actions would have no impact on VPN accessibility beyond potentially restricting India endpoints?

Either that or they’re planning to play server whack-a-mole with overseas private companies whom themselves have no control over access from India

Edit: or it’s just a non-statement to misdirect

Not sure exactly what you are after, but would stunnel4 do? You can use it to hide SSH with SSL and then use SNI so that a specific website name is SSH and others something else. You can probably do it with Apache or NGINX to if there is real websites too.

Client wise, just normal ssh, but with a custom config for that host with:

ProxyCommand openssl s_client -connect %h:%p

Edit: NGINX : http://nginx.org/en/docs/stream/ngx_stream_ssl_preread_module.html

Edit: Apache : https://trofi.github.io/posts/295-ssh-over-https.html

And let people disable it if they don’t want to be protected/babied.

I know that the first one hasn’t held up. I know a few people in the high court circles who have no idea what Linux is and exclusively use AND are asked to use windows specific software.

The second link looks promising. Thanks for sharing!

To use Linux at the military just makes sense. I used to write software for a military contractor and the SW was only deployed on hardened RedHat. I thought to myself that this is a rare case of the military being smarter than the private sector :D

At least they’re less obvious about it.

Oh, come on. It wasn’t that bad! At least it granted (and still grants) the freedom of choosing which VCS shall make your day harder than necessary.

Yeah well no shit, it’s a meme from an old 80s movie that has probably seen multiple levels of compression. Yet somehow it still got my point across, despite your keen observation.

Makes sense, though GitLab very much doesn’t require self-hosting

Really gitlab went down the niche client path and no longer is a non Microsoft alternative? Sadge, at least I know about codeberg now.

It’s not bad per se, but it leaves a lot to be desired and I think it’s about as responsive as GitLab.
