Colo scams are pretty common. Some percentage of people will offer to send expensive laptops, and the scammers can discard the rest of "interested customers". It is inviable to colo old laptops, a regulatory nightmare - Hetzner wo

This is CLEARLY a scam. There is no way they are partnering with Hetzner, or charging just 7€/month flat rate... they specifically want to know the model of the laptop, and offer to send send a courrier to your door...

Session is not similar to Signal. Session aims to provide anonymity, Signal aims to provide privacy.

Internet mostly works in Spain when there is a match: one can see traffic figures from the mayor exchange points: they are unaffected. Big businesses are unaffected, since LaLiga will quickly reverse any block that impacts popular websites

Well, I can tell you that in my country, a significant portion of the population sees it as a status symbol.

Uh? I live in a first world country (Spain) and the minimum wage is lower than the base iPhone Air price. Of course a lot of people can not afford it.

You are in a bubble: the anglosphere. In most of the world, the iPhone does not dominate the market.

I have no doubt that other providers use latency from probes as a data point. But IPinfo allows way more weight from this in their calculations, probably because they have developed their own reliable network, unlike most competitors. Your

They are not the cheapest, but most often will be one of the most accurate thanks to their latency triangulation.

They sell an alternative to AWS, but their website is hosted at AWS. Also, pointing the MX record to smtp.google.com will not help with receiving email.

Governments do not even need any of the providers to comply, they can access global NetFlow data. This is conveniently not discussed by any commercial VPN provider.

3G (which nowadays is 3.5G) is sufficient for you only because everyone else is on 4G or 5G.

You are using present tense, but there is not an opt-out option right now, and zero reasonably accesible documentation about it exists. Rolling out such a significant change with just a few days advance notification shows an incredible leve

This article is assuming that they are being truthful and indeed had access to limited hardware resources, which is doubtful to say the least.

I am surprised that no one has mentioned the most obvious alternative: Bing Cache. It is not as complete as Google's, but it is usually good enough.

You change the MX records to point to the new provider. No downtime. You also need to take care of SPF / DKIM / DMARC, but those records are for outbound mail.

This was the conclusion I reached after reading how it all developed back in the day. There was no independent monitoring/verification during the time this woman was supposedly in the cave, and it was confirmed afterwards by her own te

This story made the rounds in Spain when it first happened and was most likely false and staged.

For context, this is not a random network cutting off access. Cogent Communications is one of the world's largest Tier 1 carriers.

All of this IP space is cybercrime-related. Most of it was initially obtained via fraud/corruption from AFRINIC and being currently announced by AS202425 (Ecatel, notorious crime host). Whoever is using it is up to no good. The rest is

How ironic: ddosecrets.com is actually registered via a Bahamian company.

I feel like it's relevant to mention that Oracle recently disabled all of the free tier virtual machines from every one of their cloud customers and after like a week of downtime with no public announcements, they were somehow restored

I maintain this script: https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install It's a simple bash script which just gets the job done fast, without dependencies or too much trouble.

The project is NOT abandoned at all, please do not spread misinformation. The fork is maintained by someone who lacks a basic understanding of networking, system administration and security. I'd suggest against using it.

I don't think that he should build that, period. It is an abomination of an idea. Just like the "professional huggers" which he mentions. You can't purchase human affection.

This is pathetic and you should feel ashamed for trying to exploit individuals with such needs for profit. As others have pointed out, those seeking that kind of companion already have free alternatives available, in Reddit and other places
