I thought about this years ago and my best solution was a system to establish a profile, like a vCard with public/private keys that would generate SHA keys to authenticate with services to forward/verify communications. Instead of email, a key and domain or MX; instead of phone numbers a SHA number.

The user could burn contacts or accept invites and stuff.

First thing that comes to mind is a mechanic’s stethoscope.

Edit: basically 8adger’s screwdriver trick but I have one in my Kit of Resourcefulness™

Oh, you didn’t opt out by letter to a PO Box in another state within the 60-day window 4 years ago? What a shame.

I got a ticket for parking next to a red curb after the resident painted it. Had to go down to the city and get confirmation it was fake to get the ticket dismissed.

Not really angry about that one. Taught me good info about the government back then.

Ahhhh I do not need another project right now but that is a really nice case that would fit my shelf beautifully. Next raid perhaps…

I used to think that too, but it’s day 144 and still no tomatoes!

(Referencing a meme for those who are confused)

That’s the route I took too. NAS for storage and simple docker containers, Minipc for compute/GPU.

Bitwarden/vaultwarden is a popular option for selfhosters.

Just pointing out that housing is so absurd in that area, parking spaces are housing in many of those areas. I drive through and the roads are lined with campers and RV’s from all the tech workers grabbing their bag of gold after a couple years and bugging off somewhere cheap.

Me neither. But eventually I’ll be forced to somehow too.

Really sounds like this database is based primarily on biometrics obtained during legal immigration and travel.

I wonder how it will identify those who came through illegal means? Unless that’s totally not the point. Hmmm…

That’s great for food workers, but there are many, many more jobs just as dismal. I personally know workers who are scheduled randomly between 0 and 5 days a week. Hell, there was a month this year with 4 5-hour shifts. What complete BS.

There is no financial security whatsoever. But that’s sort of the point. Keeps labor costs down and if they quit, no unemployment.

That’s good news! It would be great if relays made it difficult to be targeted. I last tinkered with TOR almost… Jeez!.. 20 years ago haha!

I ran a relay too way, way back in the day and I remember almost a third of the sites I used blacklisted my IP address within days. It wasn’t cool.

I ended up shutting it down, resetting my cable modem, and spoofing a new MAC address on my router to get a new IP address to get everything working again.

Using a VPN is smarter. I wouldn’t run that on IPv6 whatsoever.

About 10 years ago, I just moved and my new neighbor had an open network. Problem was they were 2 houses away and across the street. I set up a tiny repeater in my car with a battery pack and parked half way between us.

It worked surprising well for about 6 months.

I’m saying split tunnel is very similar to a whitelist and is available to some VPN’s. A split tunnel would also bypass the VPN.

Also, while Android auto is a system app now, it is also identifiable by my VPN software and able to be whitelisted.

Maybe we’re just using VPN’s differently than you’d expect. For example, I use Blokada, a local VPN for reducing ad/tracking services embedded in apps. I don’t actually send my traffic to a remote server.

I can get it to work if I whitelist the android auto app from my VPN.

For me, wireless. Wired still worked through VPN.

I just ran into this too. Had to whitelist the app. Felt dirty and probably is…
