Yes. Except that it uses Wireguard (more efficient and a modern protocol), and sites using Cloudflare can still see your IP. You can't change the exit node (the server that web sites see), and is free, unlike most commercial VPN provid

Probably. As far as I know, the Apple Relay only works in the browser. So your torrent clients and other apps can still bypass it and directly access their servers. Warp+ is a VPN.

Double clicking the background apparently toggles the dark mode. Because you know, people love toggling dark mode on and off and web sites must make it so much easier even at the cost of overriding default behaviors.

Oh yeah, that's what I was just about to comment. One can arrange their own TLD for under $200,000 initial fee, plus around $25,000 a year (IIRC). I imagine there will be a whole TLD auction game, but among those with deep pockets and

So, like a thermal receipt printer (often in 80mm width), but wider? Thermal receipts have their place. They are quite fast, and maintenance is either you replace the paper roll, or throw away the printer once its lifespan is over (usually

In Sri Lanka (where I currently live and run a bakery business), Uber and the local competitor both charge 30% from the shop. This is in addition to a (mostly) flat fee charged to the customer for delivery, and 100% of it goes to the driver

I see. One similar food delivery business I consulted at had a healthy (for the startup) margins at 30% from each order, so I suppose it's beefy enough to absorb some fraud. Not to derail from the discussion about Stripe, but having a

Many small scale food delivery startups have already solved this problem. Phone number verification is the first like of defense. The delivery person might need to call you anyway, so it's an okay compromise to verify the phone number.

I had this problem too, with majority of documents being A4, but a single bank/med bill ruins the rest of the stack. My solution was to just give up on keeping the documents unless I have to, for legal/tax purposes, and just digit

There was some real shit going on with some Indonesian ISPs downright blocking connections to known public DNS resolvers (8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1, etc). Dangerously close to the China-level firewalls that block known VPNs as well.

A typical HTTPS RSA certificate is about 3.9kb. ECDSA certificates with ECDSA cross-signed with an RSA root will be around 2.9kb. So this 14kb of HTML response should leave some room for the certificates too.
