There’s also NetGuard and rethink that spoof VPN connections to filter traffic. I use the latter to block all outgoing apps except for the ones I allow.

I don’t trust LLMs to do tldrs for me and it certainly doesn’t provide a rich nuance or spark discussions like asking a human would do.

(I say that with 7 comments in the thread lol but you get my point I’m sure)

The cyclist in the last panel was probably running a red light.

Maybe your radar needs an upgrade?

Good question! It is hard to find off-hand examples on English YouTube admittedly but below screenshot is representative of the kind of opinions you see brandished on Israeli media regularly and cheered on in Telegram channels. For context, Ofira Asayag is a major TV personality in Israel.

Although not exactly what you are looking for (ie custom counters on the landing page), you can view counters you are after on another page under ‘Long-term Data > Query Log’

I’m not sure what is with all the recent gatekeeping and glamourisation I am seeing around pirating, just seed your torrent and go bro.

But I thought anything I don’t like is terrorism and they only hate us for our freedoms?

Joking aside, I find it hard to debate someone seriously when they still greedily lap up horseshit like that.

It is (almost) everywhere and anywhere you choose to reach across and make it happen friend. Try it out and see, I bet you will not be disappointed!

During one of the lowest ebbs in my life, I subconsciously and unknowingly sustained myself simply by buying one extra dessert (ice cream, chocolate, something sweet and inocuous) for the doormen at my building. This small act of human bonding would give me enough energy to face tomorrow without dreading it, and little by little I was able to dig myself out of a deep hole.

The point of this parable is, do not underestimate the value of human connection! A very small act may turn someone’s day around and that energy is reflected back to you in droves.

Right you are, I am almost complete opposite end of political compass from .ml but still end up having interesting discussions and finding commonalities. To me .world is where the echo chamber dwelling momos live.

A bad workman blames his tools. As much as I have been tortured with pointless PowerPoints, it is incapable of inflicting harm without the arsehole in charge of it.

The comments section here is absolute gold for anyone that aims to improve communication skills. Great post op.

Honestly I only ever learnt Linux admin by troubleshooting my borked Arch updates, necessity being the mother of invention and all.

wait was this a ‘copy found of copy’ joke?

To be fair my Windows experience was far simpler than Linux, if less fulfilling. What got me was a combination of constant attacks on privacy, W11 and the enshittification of the UI as well as general Microsoft corporate tomfoolery (have dealt with them for work, not a fan of their monopolistic EEE tactics).

I don’t agree with anon entirely but I do appreciate his alternative take.

If you’re comfortable running Docker, check out net probe. It comes with an all in one logging/graphing stack that will probe your internet quality based on lag and packet loss. Default configs is good enough to get you going and you can tinker to your heart’s content from there. Probably won’t play Black Sabbath automatically though unfortunately!

You will probably hear a lot of hate about Manjaro but I absolutely love it. I have an AMD/nvidia laptop (possibly one of the worst combinations to have according to legend) and Manjaro ended up being the most stable distro for me. It is Arch adjacent but comes with sane defaults. Then I found my-laptop specific kernels and now I am in heaven. Uptime is at 21 days but still buttery smooth 165Hz KDE6 Wayland goodness every time I use it.

I felt the exact same how you do now, once I got it up and running how I liked it, I (almost) never booted Windows again.
