Tailscale is a bit overpowered for just using custom DNS. Even if it’s “free” for personal use. A simple WireGuard server setup at home configured with my custom DNS resolver to block known tracking urls and setting up VPN profiles on devic

Very cool if you need a quick and dirty way to inspect the http/s call stack of an app. Personally prefer eBPF to get _everything_ but using this utility can help drill down what is important in the eBPF trace

Apple’s “privacy protections” are nothing more than marketing. “Ask app not to track” is a wash and privacy theater at best. One of the reasons I still run ad blocking on _all_ websites and at the network layer. Sorry “content creators” but

The crappiness of national ISPs is a feature, not a bug. ISPs have lobbied at state and federal levels to get their way. In many states, they have lobbied _for_ the ban of municipal ISPs. Then between major ISPs they have under the table ag

Thanks to neoliberal economic theory, the public CEOs must deliver shareholder value at all costs! In this lens, they are doing “great” But actual company itself and products are bleeding internally from decades of mismanagement.

What’s more “shocking” is how these services (patreon,gofundme) essentially acts as long term disability and health insurance plans. American healthcare is a massive price fixing scam and a complete joke.

So patreon essentially acts as a health insurance and long term disability plan? I am unsure of “estimate earnings per month” accuracy given the wide range — “12K-147K” — but even at the low end that should be enough to get constantly seek
