Not really. It messes with DNS big time. Try enabling the "MagicDNS" or "Exit Nodes" features, and watch as /etc/resolv.conf is edited with each change. I can easily reproduce scenarios where it's left emp

The bias is explicit here with the reference to "landleeches", but I'm still curious. Not everyone is able or willing to own a house, so landlords offer their property for rent. Typically the rent is determined by market valu

NAS + automated backups to BackBlaze (Amazon S3 compatible storage, but much cheaper).

If you can afford it, the easiest way to start might be to buy a popular NAS. I would recommend Synology. The setup and interface are fairly intuitive, especially if you're technical. Then as part of your workflow, just make sure the c

I'd like to switch, but after testing Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint (prior to the merger) with SIMs in my unlocked iPhone, none of them had reliable coverage at my house. T-Mobile was the only provider that gave me a good signal. I&#x2

You didn't tell us the most important part -- does the machine exhibiting the memory leak problem use iCloud or not? Assuming the iCloud-enabled machine is the one with the problem, it seems odd to jump to the conclusion it's hard

Thanks for sharing this. I tried 3 of the tools mentioned in this thread, in addition to having tried the O&O tool before, and https://privacy.sexy/ resonated with me the most. It's the easiest to understand and al

There are other solutions to this problem now. Tailscale comes to mind.

I bought this USB-C extension cable, and learned that it only works for USB debugging on Android when the Pixel's stock cable is plugged in the "correct" way. There's even a little label on the end of the extension cord

Except... are the filenames encrypted? For many, if not most, filenames are plaintext. Backblaze's default "SSE-B2" encryption leaves the filenames in plaintext. GPG encryption typically leaves the filenames in plaintext. The

One big factor: traditional brokerage/investment accounts provide records of all stock transactions, including the cost basis and precise gain or loss. This typically comes via the 1099-B. It's straightforward to report and file t

I was wrong about the nature of the proxy issue, but right about DNS-only customers. Customers using only the free DNS service were not impacted by this at all, because traffic never flowed through the proxies.

I suspect there are a large number of Cloudflare customers that only use their DNS. I have a couple of domains in this category. The DNS service is essentially free. It's an upgrade from most registrars' built-in DNS. It's a

No. Only Cloudflare customers using a subset of features of the SSL proxy service are impacted. Cloudflare has a lot of customers who only use the free DNS service, for example.

This list is misguided. It's just a dump of sites using Cloudflare's DNS, a hugely popular and (mostly) free service. The vulnerability only affected customers using Cloudflare's paid SSL proxy (CDN) service. The latter is a

It looks most similar to a Siberian Husky to me, although the face is different. Possibly a mixed breed from the husky, or just a unique looking husky.
