Yeah, common VPSes are monitored too, it’s a very easy add. Alert on IP ranges from a publicly maintained and easy to find list is not a hard ask. If you ran it through AWS, it would probably pass a lot of basic checks. Using residential IPs will probably get you a bit of time, but I can’t imagine there being a good way to do that without it being very hard for the VPN provider to keep up and very easy for a security company to just make a new list of IPs and assume the whole range is bad.

Your best defense here though is that your cybersecurity team probably doesn’t care that you’re doing this once it’s determined that you aren’t a malicious actor as long as you aren’t creating too many alerts.

Your cybersecurity team is going to be annoyed with you using a non-corporate VPN if you have one. Any monitoring they have will probably have something that will ping on using common VPNs, but at most companies, consequences there likely won’t make it to HR. May make it to your manager though if they think it’s a sign of compromise.

We killed 2 billion of them a week ago, but they just keep coming.

“Every person who isn’t a murderer is just a murder away from becoming a murderer. Timebomb!”

Never thought about it that way, welp, might as well get it over with.

The switch is interesting because it probably has the most unique catalog. There are a lot of games you can only get on the switch and there are also a lot of games that are popular elsewhere but just don’t fit right with the switch ecosystem.

I know this is a really common comparison, but I feel like this is also kind of weird. I personally believe both should be legal with obvious constraints in the realm of drunk driving/etc. Basically, do what you want with your body as long as you aren’t risking undue harm on others.

Main point though, I don’t feel like it’s a sound argument to equate the legality of alcohol to the legality of marijuana. Making either illegal is shaky on their own merits and trying to put both in the same category makes both look unfavorable.

Maybe technically and in general sometimes, but not for most at the moment.

It’s a shame, I was really pulling for ‘RIBWORLD’

They’re making money in the short term by cutting costs. Maximizing perceived profitability likely in preparation for a sell off. You see it all the time, but it’s rare to see it happen to something where the consequences of that are so public.

I get where you’re coming from and I want to be on your side, but this can get real tricky depending on the… I guess belief systems that make up the majority of the people on the bus.

I see where your hearts at, and I like it, but even though a lot of them are being assholes about it, some of the people in the thread make a good point. How we feel about ‘group pressure’ depends a lot on which group is most numerous at the time.

We haven’t heard from our developer/lead maintainer/near entirety of the staff for about a month, so it’s kind of hard to say. If they are working on something in the backend, it doesn’t feel like they care enough to inform the community about it.

A refurbished tiny/mini/micro PC will use more power in terms of sheer numbers, but the cost is still so small on them that it’s really not worth considering for most.

Hey hey, no reason to bring up the past.

I think we agree, the past is over.

I mean, you’re in the right place then my friend, because you’re not going to subscribe to much of anything that has an international presence.

It kinda sucks when you’re in one of the ‘high price’ countries, but there’s lot of countries who wouldn’t have it at all if they had to pay our prices.

I think a lot of us have had the same thoughts looking around kbin.

We all appreciate the work Ernest has done, but we really need someone to dedicate some time to picking out a team to help him, but it seems like that’s not happening for whatever reason. I know there’s a few other people in the codeberg, but I believe there was a falling out there. What we really need in addition to that though is just generic admins.

Seconding the request to share your work.

That is an amazing idea you’ve come up with that I never considered, but now I need it.

I can back this up with experience.

I’m actively running two piholes for years now. About 2/3rds of my traffic does go to the primary and some seem to ‘lock on’ to using just one, but most devices will swap between the two at their leisure.

I don’t know what it is, but I haven’t laughed this hard in awhile.
