Wtf have I stumbled upon. Sort of kinda reminds me of prolog a little. And DSKs (Domain Specific Keyboard), sign me up.

Me reading this as a computer scientist

Chat, are we cooked?

Enlighten me. What damage do you thinking they are doing by snooping in my streaming traffic? Aside from profiling me and predicting my every move lol. But even with a VPN they are still finding ways to profile me.

As far as Lemmy instances, they are likely in a tough spot. You can’t build an enjoyable platform if it’s crawling with bots.

Honestly I’m mostly leeching off my friends lol. And my cell provider bundles Netflix.

It’s not super tedious. Every time something doesn’t work, I just add it to my VPN exclusion list. I don’t really care if my ISP snoops on Netflix tbh.

The VPN blocking doesn’t really bother me. It’s the enshitification of streaming services that bothers me. E.g. why does every paid service now trying to show me ads.

Btw, a lot of Lemmy instances also don’t play nice with a VPN. Probably to block bots. PieFed is likely the same.

No idea tbh. All I know is most streaming services block them now since they often have different content in different regions.

• Minecraft, to keep my ping down
• Streaming, because Netflix and others will aggressively block VPNs

They said “I use arch btw”

I’m using a cloud gateway max with a single U7 Wall Pro AP. 10/10 performance for my medium small sized apartment.

Meh you’re not wrong, but I just wanna browse content and not see ads. Capitalism is gonna capitalism, but I just want it to leave me alone. There’s a good chance I’m gonna regret this later lol.

Ubiquiti router with all traffic (excluding streaming sites and video games) encrypted via Mulvad. Checkmate atheists.

Also PS, if you’re not paying for the product you’re the product. Checks notes: I’m not paying for Lemmy?
