They probably left it some random place for two days and they forgot all about it while it just got moldy and gross.

As the title of the RFC implies, QUIC obfuscation works by tunneling UDP through an HTTP server acting as a proxy.

...yes, it says so in the article.

With these more ethical alternatives available, why do we keep using Spotify?

  1. Brand recognition
  2. Availability
  3. Library

I use Mint on my daily driver laptop, and I'm not defending windows, but the fact that things are way less intuitive in Linux makes it less user friendly and not a good solution for non-techies. I mean, I have to use one of 3 different ways of installing something depending in what the dev kind of feels for, that's insanely terrible UX.

Sleep mode that doesn't work consistently, WiFi driver issues, printer driver issues, touchpad driver issues, several different wonky ways to install programs instead of just double-clicking an .exe and pressing "next-next-OK", random shutdown of programs for no reason or error codes...the list goes on. And on topnof that, all the stuff that people are used to using that just doesn't run on Linux at all.

I'd have to look at it when I get home, I have no clue off the top of my head.

the only thing most people need today is a computer that can run a web browser and connect to a printer.

I cannot the life of me get my Linux laptop to use my fucking Canon WiFi printer. It detects the printer, says it's connected, but it simply will not send a print job to it. Windows, iOS and android all use it just fine...but this fucking Linux machine just won't, I've spent hours fiddling with drivers and nothing works, it's infuriating!

VPS, email and aliases have no use in real daily life outside of small niche hobbies and is a poor indicator of how useful cryptonis as currency.

I'm intrigued about PC hardware, bedsheets, food and drink directly with crypto from a store, because I have never seen that.

There's also stores where you can buy gift cards for real-world things (Amazon etc.) with Monero.

I guess that's highly location dependant, we don't have amazon in my country. Even if we did I'd rather use my credit card than shop with them though...

IME crypto is largely useless as a means of payment, not just in the real world but also online. Literally nothing I have ever bought online could be paid with crypto, no stores that sell useful tangible things takes them, be it hardware (kitchen, computer, whatever...), groceries, things for hobby projects. There's just nowhere to spend it.

AFAIK it's the IPs of the VPN server that gets flagged in these cases. Not sure how that could be masked, it would probably basically just be using a different VPN server
