Sounds like a local squid proxy setup from the early 2000s...

As an ergodox user I'm still fine with normal keyboards. The key thing seems to be to stick with qwerty on your ergodox.

"You come at the king, you best not miss."

I can easily get >100Mbps here in Melbourne, Australia.

That said, my plan has a limit of 2GB a month (which is rather low; most people have around 7-10GB), so I can use a month of usage in less than three minutes.

There's at least one other option in the running, Arcan: https://arcan-fe.com/

I am capable of running something like AlgoVPN, but more importantly I'm interested in having disguising traffic: getting "lost in the crowd". In your view, what is the best to accomplish that?

This uses the linux specific TPROXY mechanism, if your desktop doesn't run linux you'll need to figure out the alternative.

In /etc/tor/torrc:

    DNSPort 127.191.0.1:53
    TransPort 9040
    TransProxyType TPROXY
    AutomapHostsOnResolve 1

Add iptables rules:

    iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -d 127.192.0.0/10 -j TPROXY --on-ip 127.0.0.1 --on-port 9040 -p tcp
    iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -d 127.192.0.0/10 -j TPROXY --on-ip 127.0.0.1 --on-port 9040 -p udp

Make sure you start tor with relevant capabilities (I use systemd, so here is my override snippet):

    [Service]
    AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE CAP_NET_ADMIN

Split horizon dns to send .onion lookups via the tor daemon. e.g. my dnsmasq config contains

    server=/onion/127.191.0.1

Note that some programs might need some coercing. e.g. firefox needs network.dns.blockDotOnion set to false in about:config (see https://twitter.com/mrphs/status/708548201800982528)

I set this up at one point. I should try and find the config again....

If you bring your own lunch from home you can sit in a park or similar.

Please add Melbourne! I have a couple of meetups that I would like to move off meetup.com ASAP.

My theory is that people are keeping devices longer; which leads to being stuck on an old release.

Lua does not follow semver (it never has, and has been around longer than semver)

This is only a beta release; final could still be a year away.....

You shouldn't use root to bind to port 25; just the capability CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE

I would be disappointed if I e.g. buy a plane ticket or a ticket to a show and the event is not added to my calendar. (and you never know the email that a show ticket will come from; so I can't add it to my address book)

As an alternative, could you just have it so if I mark an email as spam, any calendar events from it are deleted from my calendar?

How old was your daughter? In my mind parental controls are never going to be effective past ~9 years old.

From the title I guessed it would be something with a typing pattern or keyboard shortcuts that were a fast way to RSI.

I'm curious if anyone has a story about a particular writing application (could even be from the typewriter era and have a custom terrible keyboard!) that caused physical injury?

I don't think many people have more than one phone any more. e.g. I haven't had a landline in almost a decade.

I (and most people) used to buy encyclopedias. If wikipedia didn't exist, I would again...

Yes I'm aware of matrix. A couple of things that I don't like about the matrix protocol are: 1. identity is tied to a server and users are not free to move between servers. 2. servers are assumed to be always online and have low latency.

Interesting, I actually wrote 'ȱ.com', hacker news seems to expand to punycode.

I've been working on a new scheme for decentralised encrypted (group) messaging bus over at https://xn--nma.com/ unlike many other schemes, forward secrecy is not a goal: When I invite a friend to a group chat, I want them to be able to obtain historical conversation messages.

For your normal end user (at least what I think of as common: see how facebook messenger works, as well as slack, discord and even how many irc chat rooms have public logs), how is this MLS scheme useful?

Or maybe they were e.g. sacrificed to spare their loved ones. --> if they were freed then maybe their family would have to provide someone else?

With the fine going where?

Probably to general treasury; which the tax office is essentially free to withdraw from.

Currently doing one in Zig.... we'll see how it goes.

Citus isn't a fork any longer, it's just an extension.

I use glowingbear (https://glowing-bear.org/, https://github.com/glowing-bear/glowing-bear) to connect to a weechat session running on a VPS.

The setup is not non-tech-person approachable, but its generally been untouched aside from updates in this setup since 2013.

For non-tech people https://www.irccloud.com/ seems one of the best on offer.

Think about it the other way: would you rather a below average driver behind the wheel? or a self driving car?

Everyone likes to think they're better than average (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_superiority#Driving_a...).

I would rather keep the worst drivers off the road than keep the best.

Was it "Windows NT/2000 Native API Reference" by Gary Nebbett? (https://amzn.to/2XHhSFF)

That's considered a bit of a bible for NT internals in security circles.
