Yeah but trading information in an encrypted manner online is solved by dozens. Trading information in close proximity to one another (BT is only a few metres at best) is also solved by dozens, even in ways that can’t be sniffed because it’s wireless. I’m not really sure what briar brings to the table, that isn’t already solved?

Unless you’re sitting within BT proximity (in which case, why message each other instead of talking??), this is online too.

Yes there are, your data still resides in their servers as it passes through them though. But like I said, as soon as it has been processed there is no log of it so it is only present briefly and not in a persistent manner.

It is nothing of significance WRT prosecution or any kind of legal action. It is nothing useful.

Doesn’t that just hide the specific content? They still know where the content is coming from?

And not everything done online, especially things that can get you in trouble with authorities (like torrenting copyrighted material) can be done through https.

That doesn’t really make a difference if no traffic history is saved. If there are no logs of traffic saved, there’s noting that can be tied to the account.

Yes, any VPN provider will see what’s in your traffic, no way around that…ever…no matter who you choose

however not all VPN providers will keep a record of your traffic, so it may only exists briefly in their servers as it passes through and then it’s gone. This is how companies like mullvad operate. Even if the cops come with a warrant, there will be no evidence because nothing is saved.

Yeah but like I said, anyone who calls you will just hear the “busy” tone or direct to voicemail. They won’t get the “invalid number” tone like OP wants.

They do, at least where i live (not UK, but still Europe)

AFAIK this is not possible for a working number. Failed dial tone and “text message not delivered” are handled on the carrier level, if you block a number then they’ll just get a “busy” tone when calling and nothing when texting. You can’t blanket reject everything while retaining data, unless you disconnect from cellular and only use WiFi.

I’m seriously baffled by the amount of people in this thread having issues with something as simple as boiling plain rice. What the hell, its not fucking rocket science. Do you have trouble boiling pasta too!?

Just turn down the heat when it starts boiling and you won’t have any mess at all. Boiling pretty much anything without using a lid is just plain dumb and a waste of energy. The only exception being if the point of boiling is to reduce water content.

Add rice and water in a 1:2 ratio (by volume, eg. 2dl rice to 4dl water for 3-4 people), add salt and heat to a boil. When it boils, turn down heat so it only just simmers slightly and wait until no excess water is left. Keep the lid on the whole time. This method works with jasmin and basmati white rice for me.

Yeah but putting it on 4G gives them a reason to charge for continuous use of the system and lock them in to their web based proprietary platform.

Man I just wish all unsolicited ads would be banned, it would make the world a much better place. If I want promotional content or information about product portfolio from somewhere, I will request it directly.

No I want full access to my home media server for streaming, I have very little use for SSH only in this case.

Is it creepy what people collect data on their own viewing habits so they can visualise data for fun and keep track of things they’ve watched? I’m not sure I understand why that is creepy TBH. It’s not like people are collecting data on viewing habits of random strangers.

LMGTFY

TL:DR it’s an application for gathering statistics on jellyfin users and watching habits.

Yeah this actually works, but only specifically for openvpn on 443 in TCP mode…anything wireguard is blocked regardless of port.

This did the trick, ingot my tailscale to stay connected by using my phone AP to log on and then switched to hotel WiFi…thanks
