It’s not exactly difficult if you use Tailscale or really any VPN. So I really don’t see the value for the cost; if you’re even considering self hosting a Plex server/instance, there’s a list of basic knowledge you should have or learn (like what you mentioned).

Pakistan was created by Indian separatists (I’m oversimplifying, but that’s the crux). They’re divided by religious groups (e.g. Pakistan is majority Muslim, while India is mostly Hindu (~80%).

If you can run tailscale or similar, your IP becomes a non-issue (CGNAT vs static IP)

I’ve been here my whole life and, honestly, we don’t know either. But The Office made fun of it when Michael went to NYC!

Yeah but it’s like 100 devices, I think. And I believe 3 users (meaning under one account; sharing a device with someone who makes their own account doesn’t count as a “user”). You’re right, but they’re pretty generous.

I don’t think it takes many resources to provide the service to consumers; it’s not like you’re using any of their bandwidth (minus the tiny amount used for coordination between clients). Oh, or if you use their DERP servers (encrypted, but still).

In general, people should know there are self hosted, truly private options, though. So thanks for mentioning Headscale.

Was also going to mention Distance and Blur, but Blur is more like neon-colored Mario Kart, but with real cars.

I’ve watched it. It is, though it also makes more sense in the context of the film’s plot.

Look up Rich Rebuilds on YT. He not only defied Tesla by rebuilding one from totaled Telsas with otherwise functional parts. But he also built one with (iirc) a V8 gas engine.

Google “Ferengi Rule 34” for more info!

Thank you. I say it because I was genuinely asking the person who replied to me, in case I was wrong. In the context of privacy, it’s extremely important to know for sure.

Evidence/source? My understanding is you inherently cannot go back to BFU (before first unlock) state once you’re in AFU unless you reboot.

Again, I’m not talking about simply disabling biometrics unlock – BFU = your decryption key is not in memory yet (at all).

Do a restart (even if you have to hold the power button for 10 seconds). Because at initial boot state, the contents of your phone are encrypted. Any unlocks after the initial unlock, your phone is decrypted and the key is in RAM. Only a password/pin (no fingerprint/FaceID/etc) can be used to decrypt your data.

In lockdown mode, my understanding is that you’re simply disabling biometrics (but not encrypting anything).
