Here’s the problem: we’re watching the country errode in incredible time, the far right has sunk it’s claws into the government and it seemingly has no way to actually prevent it’s damage. All of the checks and balances seem to mean nothing as actual laws that people relied on are being repealed every month. And this might not be the worst of it, if Trump gets elected with a Senate majority, everything will probably flip seemingly overnight.

All we can do is vote and call representatives to tell them to support us. You could probably protest too but be careful out there. If you’re someone that might be targeted by an auth right regime, you might want to get your passport ready.

I’d agree with you, except that we’re in the dark timeline where the DNC has burned us hard by making dumb electoral decisions. We’re basically given another chance at 2016 where we have a democratic shoehorn vs a narcissistic authoritarian. I’m actually getting to the point where I regret not voting for Hilary because of how much of a shit show those years were.

So, yes, I’d love to vote for someone else, preferably like Bernie, but it’s far too late to recampaign. Especially since it’s less than 5 months prior to actual elections. Given what was accomplished these past 4 years, I’d actually be okay with Biden if he would meaningfully do something to help Palestine.

I think what everyone needs to realize is that it’s already too late. It’s been too late and it was too late months ago. There are no other options. The world will suck but will most definitely suck less than one being led by Trump. You have two effective choices, vote Biden or don’t. It’s unfortunately all we have at this point.

It looks like Quad9 supports DoH: quad9

I might give it a shot. It looks like a good alternative. Thanks for the recommendation.

I used to love Vivaldi, but eventually it being a chromium browser forced me to switch back to Firefox and it’s children. If they switched over to using Firefox as a base rather than chromium then I’d consider it.

It’s the same line of reasoning with different excuses; I don’t like it so no one should have it.

It largely depends on the program. If the application has native Wayland support then it usually works pretty well, but apps that only run on X11 (which need to run through Xwayland) may be a little glitchy. It will depend on a lot of different variables including drivers, model, libraries, kernel, etc. But later this month Nvidia is to release new drivers that allow “explicit sync”, which should address a lot of this I believe.

After looking through it a little bit, it sounds like HIP is mainly used for verifying hosts’ identities. It sounds like you’ll still need firewall rules in order to create the scenario in your example, right?

Thankfully it only lasted 2 years. But during that time it sounds like it was a plan to suppress the presidential competition that backfired. It’s good to know that humanity has always sucked.

Have you considered using Bitwarden Premium? It has TOTP support and is $10/year currently.

Also, regardless of how your hosting your data, it’s probably good to keep a secured backup of your vault or two just in case something unexpected happens.

Fair points. I’d say it depends on what we’re focusing on.

Maybe a good compromise would be to have the account that sent the message generate the preview. At least that way you’d maintain E2EE and save the webserver some unnecessary demand.

I can also see how this could be less reliable (because we’re now relying on a client with all sorts of variables) and less safe (malicious sender could mask malicious links with benign previews) than the server method but it all depends on which you prefer more.

After thinking about it in this situation, previews are just a nightmare to deal with privately and I’d probably just want to turn them off.

I agree. That’s a terrible choice to me.

Why would they not just offload this as a feature for the client to handle? At least then the security and privacy ultimately would be up to the user’s decision.

This isn’t exactly a platform specific problem because having local network access while using a VPN is actually a feature called “split-tunnelling”. The tunnelcrack issue goes beyond this but can be mitigated by using full tunnel VPN that resolves the server by IP address instead of DNS.

For real. Can anyone say that they guessed this would actually be a headline 7 years ago?

Yeah, I’d argue HA is more established as high availability than home assistant but that could be my networking side talking.
