Chinese EV makers, led by Build Your Dreams (BYD)…

BYD is short for Biyadi. Who writes this shit?

Optus is barely an internet connection at this point. I’m using about 10 fearures on Aussie Broadband that simply don’t exist on the Optus network.

Not for long. That’s about to get fixed with encrypted client hello.

…and if you use DoH, they won’t even see DNS.

I would argue that you don’t need a VPN. It’s just another entity that can see your traffic, and there’s no reason to trust them over your ISP. They’re all for-profit companies.

Telstra (Australia’s largest telco) now provides IPv6-only to mobile handsets by default. They’ve deployed 464XLAT.

The main benenfit is not having to deal with NAT. You get your own address and your traffic is not conflated with other people’s.

You also get privacy extensions. Your device generates a temporary address for making outgoing connections. The address has no listening sockets. This means that you cannot get portscanned by every website you visit.

You don’t need to try and figure out your external IP address. There’s no differentiation between internal/external addresses. They’re all global, as the internet was intended.

You can throw as many IP addresses on an interface as you want. If you want to run two web servers from one machine, you can have multiple addresses with different services on port 443.

If the next encounter is breadcrumbs, this schnitzel is ready for the fryer.

There’s an entire planet of races you forgot about. Besides, I saw the crown jewels a week before they were nicked so I don’t need to go back anytime soon.

Literally racist.

Enforcing TLS filters out a lot of spam connectikns too. Every legit provider has a cert these days.

I’ve got one, and it works well enough when offline.

If not, I could set up Home Assistant and self-host it.

It’s a shame, as Mozilla gave iRobot one of the better privacy ratings. That’s the only reason I allowed it in my house to begin with.

I denied play store network access too 😆.

Seriously, some apps just check if it’s installed or not. I use Aurora for actually downloading apps.

Google Keyboard has network access, so it can theoretically log every keystroke and send it somewhere.

Personally, I installed GrapheneOS which lets me deny network access to the keyboard.

Whenever I ssh into it.

or, as you wrote, “steals”

Nice hallucination, clanker. Fuck off.

Unfortunately 1 person per minute won’t be enough to tackle climate change.

This is a great change. I wonder how long before the hate brigade comes along to complain.

No. Employment is finite. Including someone means excluding someone else.

“DEI hire” has a different definition depending on whether you’re talking about design or implementation.

Design: Non-discriminatory hiring practices where race, gender, age, religion and disabilities are overlooked. You get hired purely on your ability to do the job. Appropriate disability supports are given if required.

Implementation: Cheap foreign labour obscured by marketing spin and a calendar of wokewashing. Applicants are hired based on a quota that in no way reflects the talent pool.

I get that hiring practices should not discriminate, but in practice, what I have seen is the opposite of meritocracy. My company had many DEI hires, and they were the first to go when the money got tight.
