It would also require centuries, so it’s not as possible, but breeding people for very specific traits and features. Whether appearance, physical strength, overall intelligence, specifically being great in mathematics, great smell, great sight.

Basically, control the evolution by favoring very specific features and outright disallowing others (like hereditary diseases/disorders) that would be unacceptable in the mix.

Since this requires a lot of time which I’d somehow theoretically have (I know, this wasn’t in the post, but anyway…), I’d want to try yet another thing. Breeding at the most late age possible, then continuing with that and extending it. Perhaps it would lead to increased lifespan, or at least lesser effects of aging in the far far offsprings. At least physically. These experiments don’t exactly favor mental health of the subjects.

Not Mullvad’s fault, they’re just on some of the used blocklists. Not really much you can do about it besides finding a not yet blocked servers.

Not everyone knows everything. Actually, nobody does.

Computers simply became an easily available necessity, thus you get a lot of computer-illiterate people using computers.

Cisco used to not be that selective.

They used to give out free Meraki APs to everyone just for attending their webinars. The catch with those devices was licensing. You’ve got some limited-time free license, and then you either paid or kept a paperweight.
At least officially. Some of them were later supported by OpenWRT, but newer ones are more locked down.

I mean, wouldn’t that be similar to leaves moving in wind though?

This is obviously more elegant, but you can also use GPG in Termux.

Just saying.

Well, I do fuck up a lot.

Does that count?

OH, least favorite.

I was wondering why everyone is so sarcastic.

Well, buggy software (MIUI) and the surveillance. I mean, there’s a higher chance MIUI bricks itself during an update than with any Alpha-release custom ROM (so I don’t update… [But it’s also due to Android often removing features from API and breaking niche apps]).
E.g.: Wallpaper bug (stretched or awfully upscaled after changing brightness), brightness slider not working, broken screen rotation, battery drain, swapped L/R microphone audio channels, FM radio cutting out, system crashes and waves of killed apps, camera app in landscape has some buttons off-screen, MIUI screenshot tool occasionally breaks and stock screenshot tool is used (with full-blast audio sound effect no matter current volume settings), notification access service needs to be manually reset for each app after the app is restarted, 120Hz gets laggy after toggling battery saver on and off and needs to be manually reset, dark mode is forced on all apps but the setting to change this sorts all apps in random order,… Also, the Poco X3 Pro motherboard has a tendency to die. I am on this phone’s third motherboard currently.

Also… the volume buttons can get stuck. Xiaomi phones have issues with dust particles making their way into buttons and activating them randomly.

As far as I know they don’t have audits done, so who knows about the logging. Both IVPN and Mullvad pass those. Could still be fine though, but I’d rather trust Mullvad or IVPN.

Only if you need (cheap) port-forwarding.

I also like the idea of ptunnel

Ptunnel is an application that allows you to reliably tunnel TCP connections to a remote host using ICMP echo request and reply packets, commonly known as ping requests and replies.

Linksys WRT54G WiFi router.

The WiFi router DD-WRT was originally designed for.

This legend is older than me:

But I am an adult already (at least on paper…).

Exactly.
The internet is kind of like second world. You probably wouldn’t cut your children from the real world, but neither should you let them grow up in it unsupervised.

It’s part of the life nowdays, and you can adapt to it, not deny it. Just like with book reading in 18th century.

Well, why don’t you just try NextDNS? Don’t like signing up to try a service? You don’t have to. Go to nextdns.io, click “Try it now” and there you go. No account required for 7 days.

You don’t need to add domains yourself, you just choose from existing blocklists they provide. Each have some description, just like all the settings.

Alternatively, Mullvad freely provides DNS with some blocking too, but you can’t edit anything.

I just wish Mull (and Tor on Android for that regards) did what desktop Tor and Mullvad browser (I know the devs are different) do with specific window sizes to remove unique window resolutions.

Currently both Android Tor and Mull lead to a unique per-device fingerprint.

Still works for me.

I use the default WebUI in a browser.

I prefer landscape mode, haven’t found any suitable apps for that.

I… I already have that. What’s next?
