I'm still not sure how this compromises VPN use. ISP routes the connection so of course they can see when I use my VPN. From there I would assume the VPN works as a mixer and handles multiple connections through the same exit point, s

I've had this on my mind for a bit, but carbon capture seems to be oversold from my understanding. The way I see it, additional trees would reduce atmospheric carbon at that moment in time, but as they burn or decay it releases CO2 bac

This is a known "feature" of Twitter. If it assumes the user can be logged in, it will hold the page captive until you sign in. I've had it happen to me, though I'm not sure of the details. Like whether it's being A

Right! Why use port when left is right? Nonmariners left starboard right at port, left port there as well. Maybe modern mariners should port left back to their lexicon before they're left behind.

Yeah, but some of the money printers take time to warm up. Just because they're late doesn't mean they don't deserve to scam people. Now hurry up and buy this ESPN gif with a UUID hot-glued onto it.

They're good tips. I went on a productivity binge late last year, and all the books I read boil down to a few things. 1) Get as much information out of your head as possible. Store it somewhere you can find it later, but the specifics

Well that's concerning. What's the actual use case for this? It's certainly not priced to compete with traditional VPNs. Half tempted to install this on a machine as a honeypot and see what traffic comes through.

Okay, good point. Maybe turning the entire Amazon into a reverse coal mine would do more harm than good. I still think we need long-term carbon storage and using pre-existing timber seems like a good first step. If there's a better c

Coincidentally I just made my first Twitter account. I can't remember the exact boxes you need to click but there is a way to sign up without giving out your phone number. The issue is that it may flag your account as more suspicious.
