Data hoarders/pirates are the reason “internet never forgets”. Who do you think retains those obscure pics/memes/videos?

Just shows that men are better at everything, even being women.

You can’t change your IP with your own VPN server, you have to go through a third party VPN or proxy

I run PiHole on mine

I’ll quit YouTube before I watch ads.

Long time ago, already downloading it

I think what you’re doing is fine, in fact, it’s one of the Microsoft recommended methods of doing it.

Not really, if it’s on TCP 443 it will look no different than a typical HTTPS traffic.

What are you trying to accomplish? Hide/anonymize your Internet/torrenting activity? Or access your LAN devices from the Internet? Because those are two different use cases for VPN. One requires paying a third party provider, the other - hosting a VPN server on your network.

What if VPN traffic is on a non-standard port?

Not cool, bro, it’s against the pirate code to cheat at multiplayer video games.

Site is dead

I use ecobee and block it from the Internet. Works great with Home Assistant via Homekit.

It’s never enough, soon they’re going to show ads even to you, a paying customer. It’s happening to some streaming providers already, it’s coming to YouTube too, mark my words. Online streaming is turning into cable.

You’re comparing apples and oranges, reverse proxy and VPN serve two different purposes.

Make sure to do the math if solar is even worth it for you. Electricity is relatively cheap in my area. When I did the math, it would take me at least 20 years to break even (that’s if I paid cash, even longer if I finance). Considering 25 years is an average panels lifespan, it would not save me any money.

Being independent of the grid is the only selling point, but I haven’t done enough research if that’s even true with solar. If it’s still connected to the grid, will I even be able to utilize my panels if there’s an outage in the grid?

Microsoft is shoving Teams down everyone’s throats harder than, I don’t know what. Teams is just awful, it’s slow, clunky, and a piece of shit that nobody asked for.

You did see the numbers? I mean, what else do you need?

Not on TV. Who the fuck wants to watch vertical 60second videos on a 16:9 TV?

It boggles my mind it’s forced upon us even on the TV app

No, the best decision would be if they allowed us to disable shorts.
