My girl worked at a hardware store, and when customers asked for caulk, she’d ask if they wanted black caulk or white caulk. Then she’d say, “I like the white caulk better too,” or “So you’ll just take whatever caulk you can get your hands on?” or “Yeah, sometimes you gotta have the black caulk,”

And OP never mentioned self-hosting so my recommendation is out of line.
But if you can self host your pm, you should.
That’s good. I mean you’re still shooting yourself in the foot a little if you use the same vpn for your own outbound traffic. Either way, the ip reputation is damaged but at least you can turn the vpn off and use your clean IP when needed.
You should isolate that phone from other devices on LAN too. Krebs just wrote an article about hackers using res proxies to move laterally through local networks, generally to infect other vulnerable devices like TV boxes.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Recommend a printer with open-source support.English
2·25 days agoThis probably isnt what you’re looking for, but you never specified a page size so…
I love thermal printers, like the ones that print receipts at the cashier. There’s no ink; you just replace the little roll. They are great for text, just pipe a shopping list to
lpand out it comes.I have a printer for full-sized sheets but there’s no comparison to the thermal on OP’s criteria. Except open hardware… I don’t think there are any printers today that provide schematics.
Your own wifi? Look into residential proxies. Much worse than harvesting your data.
I don’t know but I am also very suspicious of these apps.
Maybe they are monetizing by selling your connection as a residential proxy. The receipts are probably a ruse to get you to keep opening the app so it stays active.
I wouldn’t let this cousin on my wifi.
I have been using vaultwarden, which is a rust implementation of bw.
The guy that ported bw to rust originally named it “bitwarden-rust” until he got a copyright letter from bw saying not to use their name. Guy makes no money from the project but complied and renamed it to vaultwarden.
Point is, I’m not promoting vaultwarden because I’m obsessed with rust… It’s just that I suspect that bw will soon decide that they have enough users and it’s time to enshittify for profit.
Just because Asus has EoL’d doesn’t mean openwrt will drop support. In fact, you can get these routers for cheap now and breathe new life into them.
With openwrt your router will outlive you. You might have to take it out with a shotgun. I have a 20-year-old dsl router that the isp gave us for free and it will not die.
There are probably people reading this who are younger than this router, and don’t remember DSL… and yet this beast can absolutely run openwrt 23.xx.

I say “can” because I retired mine to the box a few years ago, running 19.xx and working like new. (Just that 100Mbps is too slow.)
If you’re connecting to gmail over pop/imap, no problem.
If you’re using the native gmail webmail or google chrome… They could.

United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•USDA Tells Grocery Stores They Can't Give Discounts to People Hit by Trump's Food Stamp FreezeEnglish
3·3 months agoSome friends own a farm in Pennsylvania. They will tell you their food is “grown organically” but they can’t say it’s “organic” because that is an official certification endowed by the USDA. To be “organic” many requirements must be met (which they do), the last of which is to pay a hefty fee to the USDA (which they don’t). The way they phrased it, the fee is so high they can’t afford it.
So all their food is organic in every way except the name. It would be illegal for them to even say it’s organic aloud.
In case there was any uncertainty that organic food is a scam, it is! The extra markup you pay goes straight to The Man. Fuck the USDA!


There are a few monero vpns on kycnot.me… You should consider listing there when you feel ready.
Curious about your upstream… Are they going to send takedown letters for torrent seeding? Are you ready for users to hack with your exit nodes and get blacklisted?
This is the catch-22: non-kyc (anonymous) proxies get abused/blacklisted and become useless for anonymous browsing.
