All of your temporary privacy addresses will be coming out of the same subnet, so it’s clear they all belong to the same people.

Ultimately the privacy extensions are just bringing IPv6’s privacy back in line with IPv4, because without the privacy extensions every single device has a separate IPv6 address based on its MAC address whereas in IPv4 most consumer networks have every device sharing a single IP.

Being able to sell FOSS is one of the freedoms “free software” refers to.

Honestly though I think the thing that struck me the most and I found kind of scummy was their “value statement” where they were advertising the OS by comparing it to the prices of the proprietary software is includes alternatives to. You misreading the website wasn’t an accident, they designed it in a deceptive way IMO.

If they were more honest about it, I wouldn’t have any problem with them charging for the convenience of having everything pre-bundled. Of course you could set everything up yourself, but Linux is notoriously finnicky. People want a complete experience, they want support. They want the slick branding.

As far as I know Zorin is FOSS, for what it’s worth. It’s mostly just bundled FOSS software with some slick themes and accessibility features, plus a few in-house system apps which they do seem to provide sources for.

They mention that it’s open source on their website but they don’t mention FOSS probably because the libre/gratis distinction is confusing for people.

Editing the systemd services seems a neat solution here. Rather than editing the package-provided service files directly, you can create overrides using systemctl edit.

Another more hacky option would be to use the PostUp directive but account for the case there’s no tailscale0 device yet. Write a simple shell script or something.

If you think this is annoying to play, try simulating 4D chess by lining up four of these 3D chess sets

Sloan being IA was just a cover, S31 doesn’t actually have anything to do with IA. It’s its own thing.

How is that relevant when this patents are new, just backdated, and clearly filed primarily for this lawsuit?

A lot of people have suggested Tailscale and it’s basically the perfect solution to all your requirements.

You keep saying you need ProtonVPN which means you can’t use Tailscale, but Tailscale actually supports setting up an exit node which is what you need. Put Protonvpn on the Raspberry Pi, then set it up as an exit node for your tailnet. There’s a lot of people talking about how they did this online. It looks like they even have native support for bypassing the manual setup if you use Mullvad.

As long as every client has the ability to use Tailscale (I.e. no weird TVs or anything) this seems like it checks all your boxes. And since everything is E2EE from Tailscale, TLS is redundant and you can just use HTTP.

People posting blobfish always makes me sad. Poor things don’t actually look like that…

It’s like it aliens took humans into space and our corpses got all bloated from the lack of pressure and then the aliens laugh at our corpses and assume that’s what humans always look like…

What’s up with Star Trek communities and doomerism? Seems like missing the point of the shows

They did do it through political reformation though. The replicators came ~200 years after getting rid of money.

The show this clip is from is set in a time before they had the replicator tech, even.

EDIT: It’s set before they perfected it, at least. They don’t refer to it as replicators but DIS and the other new prequel shows have fleshed out some of the precursor tech for the replicator in that time.

Counterpoint, defeating a seemingly undefeatable enemy is even more heroic.

Also, a fight that you are not trying to win is not an honorable fight.
