I am not sure if by any chance they do the extra mile to check on that. However, as a rule of thumb you should try to keep private stuff away from work stuff, meaning, at work maybe is not the best idea to boast about your reddit profile where you happen to follow some nsfw stuff (or other stuff that can be considered offensive and/or can lead to controversy). I would imagine they try to check things such as accounts attached to an email or phone number (for instance). If a set of aliases were used for this (or different info) from your work email phone etc., you should be able to keep it separate.

For me feels someone is chasing a KPI on PSN users that, quite frankly, gives no one but Sony executives satisfaction on bigger number = better number. Steam on that sense made the correct decision to give back the money on people that cannot play a game anymore because of a future requirement (as mentioned by op, not everywhere psn exists). But for me, even if psn is available, you should be able to refuse to further engage on a game based on a future requirement like this and get the money back (same applies if for instance a game all of a sudden has something like denuvo).

So my take away of this is: please, get rid of kpis, it's about time we learn to get away from hard metrics that can be cheated

Fantastic. Time to deliver opnsense and/or pfsense to the masses. Or better, recycle a router with openwrt or similar

When are we going to riot to have the same button to enter bios setup everywhere? For me personally grinds my gears every time I have a different machine, check the bios boot message like a hawk to get what key I need to press to enter setup (after a while you sort of know by vendor, but for me that should not even be a thing)

Thanks for taking the time to explain. I was trying to get my head around on how this works but could not understand much of it. A lot of people here are very much against systemd in all senses, but this sounds like a better approach. Even if it not done as systemd, makes more sense than checking files and getting elevated privileges for a scope and use guardrails everywhere

Not sure how new, but has a turbo button. That should be good for something, right?

I was making a quick check, and yes, the DoH situation is a bit more dicey. From how I see it, the best way to make this work is to, at the firewall level, either block as much as possible any requests that look like DoH (and hope whatever was using that falls back to regular DNS calls) or setup a local DoH server to resolve those queries (although I am not sure if it is possible to fully redirect those). In that sense, pihole can't really do much against DoH on its own

EDIT: decided to look a bit further on the router level, and for pfsense at least this is one way to do this recipe for DNS block and redirect

Hm.... I am not familiar with that device myself, and since I use opnsense for a while I forget most people do not use routers outside of the provided one.

But in a theoretical sense, this firewall rule should look something like this:

• origin of traffic is any IP that goes into port 53
• outgoing traffic has to go to pi hole on port 53

Forgot to mention the port but that's it. Notorious devices like smart TVs and consoles like to use the hard coded DNS method

It does. Probably op meant something different

Pi hole is an amazing tool and gives a lot of insight on what is being queried and blocked against the block lists. Also, makes completely transparent on the entire network to have nasty things blocked. One thing I will mention to make the setup better: make sure on the firewall level you can have a rule that makes every request for a DNS to go through pi hole. Some devices will use a hard coded DNS instead of respecting the one on the network

No kidding, denuvo made me stop buying games every time because I just detest it and what it stands for. Also, boggles resources way too much (and no, having a root kit is a no no for me). But more importantly, single player games with denuvo is the ultimate low.

The biggest problem with this approach is basically Facebook saying that you have to pay for a right, meaning, if the law tells you that you can, and should, always have a say if you are followed around or not, you mist have that capability. What Facebook is doing is put a right behind a paywall, which is absurd

That is for sure a plague on amazon right now. That and product swapping while keeping reviews. I wonder when this stuff get curbed, but something tells me amazon is getting enough money to overlook this

Seller response when people point out the sneakers are fake: he he The moment Amazon closes down the store and listings and stops all customer support on sales: not he he

I do agree with this as well, but wanted to add a little something that might give a different perspective. Let's say you are extremely gifted at being a computer engineer and you don't know it. Nowadays probably you start fiddling with computers and eventually find out. Let's say that you are gifted for this, but instead being born nowadays, you were born in the 1800. There is no way to know you were a gifted computer engineer back then because, well, computers didn't really exist. The inverse also applies as well. If you are extremely good at lightning up street lamps, nowadays that skill is not relevant, since no one needs to light up street lamps manually anymore.

I do think these skills have usually some sort of equivalent (even tangentially) and you find out what you can be good at. Is it your optimal skill? I do not think we can effectively know, since everything is not available from both present, past and future, all at once to be exposed to.

It really looks like a repurposed knife at a glance.

At the time I think in most western Europe teletext was a thing. Imagine you had this menu on the TV with pages that have graphics of the Atari 2600, and you access by inserting 3 digits codes on the page, seeks the page for you, and presents what's in there. This was, in a nutshell, teletext

At some point much later teletext even go a chat function. Was with SMS, extremely expensive.Soome people went ham on the relationships zone (and at some point there was also a 18+ zone for dirty talk during the night)
