I remember when SFC was first introduced, I excitedly wrote a script to invoke it remotely so I could use it on a user’s pc when they called to fix their problem. To this day I have never run that script. This was in 1998.

“> driving out rivals, diminishing competition, inflating advertising costs, reducing revenues for news publishers and content creators, snuffing out innovation, and harming the exchange of information and ideas in the public sphere.”

I feel like it is going to be hard to prove that Google’s anti-competitive actions have inflated advertising costs. Also, did news publishers lose revenue because of Google or was it Craigslist and jobs sites that killed their classified business?

Google is definitely a monopoly and has acted badly, but proving the harm in this way is going to be tricky. The government should go after them for privacy, the place where they have clearly abused their relationship with the public. Google normalizing spying on users has created the data economy that has resulted in us being spied upon us all the time and having all of our personal data being leaked over and over again.

As someone who has administered networks and written policies like this the concern here is that you will run an open network that may be used for piracy, hacking, DDOS or to send bomb threats. Tracing down this type of behavior is required by law and allowing students to run open networks makes this near impossible.

Yes, you can configure non-router DNS in your DHCP server or you can manually set DNS on individual hosts. For a VPN you want to make sure the VPN connection has DNS manually configured.

If you have your router setup to resolve DNS, which is common, then while the VPN is active if you use your router for DNS, your router will be sending queries with the sites you visit from your real ip address to your DNS provider.

Fmovie is a new one I never heard of before. Good thing they mentioned it so I know to avoid it in the future.

Cloudflare has a bot score. Depending on how sus your bot score is you can use several different levels of verification. The checkbox you refer to is kind of in the middle. There is also a more complicated intrusive captcha and a totally transparent javascript. It’s a pretty slick system.

I had an Impala that I named Vlad, so it was “Vlad the Impala”.

I pulled off and parked in a pullout. But yeah it was backed up for almost an hour.

Neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.

Here are two I recommend:

The Rest is History - two historians, Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook go deep on interesting topics from history.

Never Post - a podcast described as “about and for the internet” and in some sense the spiritual successor to Hello Internet but also reminding me of classic Radiolab. Worth checking out.

What are your use cases?

Great list! I would also add to this PCR, the technology that allowed us to map the human genome.

Thanks that is super-helpful! There is also a Gigabyte option that is only moderately more expensive. I will check it out!

Did anyone read the phrase “fed up carpenter” and immediately think the was the second coming of Christ?

Librewolf is great. Secure and private by default. For compatibility it is nearly as good as Firefox.

A lot of good stuff here. The three things that are most notable for me are:

Notepadqq

Fsearch

How about a simple faraday shield for the key fob?
