I’m simply interested in running Alpine Linux on it.
It’s exactly that, I’m simply interested in running Alpine Linux on it.
Have you confirmed that with something like https://www.dnsleaktest.com? DNS leaks are common so it’s good to check.
God this is a fantastic way to explain climate change
Shit, I’m a web developer and I’m fed up with all the ads, tracking and stalking that goes on. It’s so ingrained like “why not use Google for analytics?” or “just host it on Amazon.” 90% of the services we use at work I refuse to use at home (and go as far as outright blocking them).
I just built a DIY router on Alpine Linux. I don’t want to deal with an entire web UI and all that trash. I just want minimal Linux and some ip6tables
.
I really love what Ubiquiti is trying to do, but I understand where you’re coming from. I ditched the EdgeRouter X because I just couldn’t do anything really advanced with it.
I don’t have a Dream Machine nor a 192.168.0.0/16 network but my access point receives an IP via DHCP from a non-Ubiquiti router just fine. In fact, the controller running in Docker doesn’t even come up itself after a power failure so I’m really lost on what you’re talking about here.
I use (paid) Apple News, and I really enjoy it. Are there no other “pay once” platforms out there?
My only complaint is that some articles still show ads despite being subscribed, but that’s taken care of with DNS-based ad blocking (though you have to also block a a hostname pointing to an Apple DoH server which I find funny).
…isn’t it in a lot of countries? I read it was kind of a big deal when this started in the US.
Those websites (and tons of others) will tell you who your ISP appears to be. Whether or not a service considers it a datacenter isn’t set in stone, but usually it’s easy to tell based on what’s shown there.
Edit: If you’re getting the captchas it’s probably because you appear to be on a VPN.
Are you familiar with web development by chance? Can you see anything in your browser’s developer tools like failed XHR/fetch requests? I’m kind of wondering if they’re doing something specific since you said traffic is flowing as expected on other websites.
If your VPN exits from a datacenter (common with VPN and cloud providers) it could be that while their website wasn’t smart enough to block you, the server the content streams from is and is refusing to stream the content. This would probably show up as a failure in the developer tools (HTTP 401 Unauthorized, some JSON with an error, etc).
What does Wireshark or tcpdump
show on any relevant interfaces?
Block all their servers on your network, it’s really not hard to go Google-free.
To me it sounds like they want to host a store on Tor or i2p considering it’s typically recommended to disable JavaScript while browsing those networks due to security concerns.
It’s the fucking robotic phrasing that doesn’t mean anything. It’s like when you read an article about some crazy bad thing a company did and the company is asked to make a statement, it’s always “we follow all applicable laws” or some version of “we didn’t do it.”
I barely want to use WiFi at home let alone send it to a tower far away. This reminds me of those stupid 5G home internet plans you can get — why on earth would I want to add so much latency to my internet connection?
How does anyone put up with using that OS? It’s 2024, it’s time to move on. Sheesh
I stopped using it 20 years ago and have never had a need for it since. It sucked then and it still sucks now; I’ve even installed it a couple times in a VM for fun but always ended up deleting it after a few hours. I really don’t understand why someone would choose to tolerate such low quality software even for the most basic of tasks.
