Seems like it. Still Gulf of Mexico on my end.

I wish I could say the same, I use PayPal very frequently because my credit union doesn’t support debit-visa. With PayPal I can make payments with my bank online rather than use my cc.

I say it all the time however, people seem to hate to hear it.

Google has a monopoly on the internet and at this point is too big to fail, if you ever install the No-Script add on to any web browser and block any of googles tracking related javascript you’ll notice a vast majority of websites simply no longer function.

Whenever I bring up topics relating to digital privacy & security people seem to shrug it off and simply say “I’ve got nothing to hide”, it’s about setting a standard that people don’t want to be tracked and monitored like shrill 5 year olds.

Yes! PiHole does offer whitelisting profiles for devices however, Apple/IOS devices with their “Private Wi-Fi addresses” make it pain given how the Mac Addresses regularly rotate.

VPN’s are neat, besides the fact they’re capable of masking your IP & DNS they’re also capable of providing resources to devices outside a network.

A good example is the server at my work is only accessible on my works network, to access the server remotely without exposing it directly to the internet would be to use a VPN tunnel.

I can’t even figure out how to expose my services to the internet, honestly it’s probably for the best Wireguard gets the job done in the end.

Last release was over 5 years ago and judging by the issues not receiving responses best to assume it’s deprecated.

Cool project it seemed.

Please tell this to my systems administrator at my job. At home it’s all Linux at work trying to use Windows is mind numbing.

Yeah, PiHole is great if you live by yourself otherwise the entire household will have it out for you.

Learned that lesson the hard way.

The only thing I had to work around was downloading the deb build of Discord Canary to enable audio output in Discord streams since it was only recently added to Discord's dev/beta build (Canary).

Keep in mind Linux is all about FOSS, if the software you use doesn’t have all the features you want look around for alternatives.

I encountered this same issue when installing Discord and opted to use Vencord instead.
