another core.js story. Read that dude's story.

Was referring to this part of the top level comment. The maintainer of core.js posted his story on his GitHub page, really fucked up shit that I can’t even summarize adequately.

I just read the story of the core.js guy and it’s absolutely heartbreaking, makes me think I was smart to abandon any FOSS projects I was involved in even though I’m sad about it

Looks like my telegram dealer has opened up a VPN provider startup, very weird aesthetics. Can’t say anything about the product though, I guess it’s good to have more competition in the market?

Yeah the device limit is annoying. I switched to AirVPN when Mullvad stopped doing port forwarding and it’s been fine so far. But you’d run into the same issue with the device limit.

I’m not a network expert so I honestly don’t know the difference between the two protocols enough to say that they’re any benefit of one over the other, but there might be a reason that WireGuard is becoming the default? Idk honestly.

Anyway, AirVPN still suports port forwarding and supports OpenVPN so might be an alternative for you. They don’t do security audits which is imo sketchy and makes me question if they are honest about their no logs policy, but otoh they have been around for a long time and there hasn’t been any incidence, which makes me think they’re probably good enough for torrenting.

Ahaha I guess that must be the default of my client then

Yeah it’s pretty amazing that there’s kinda no algorithm, you just see what you subscribe to in chronological order

Why not use a qbittorrent WireGuard one?

I think nowadays easiest is to just translate whatever subs you have using ChatGPT

Yeah what can be done is create a clean Google account registered through an anonymous phone number and a throwaway user name & password, and best to secure it with a hardware key just to make sure no one can get into your OTPs by somehow getting access to those credentials. That should allow you to save credentials in an account at least if you make sure to not login to it on the same device as your other accounts.

But also not blaming anyone for not trusting Google in the first place.

I read their article but didn’t understand their methodology. This is pretty much in contrast to this video where a bunch of apps got audited and to everyone’s surprise Google Authenticator seemed like one of the most private alternatives.

Really not trying to defend Google here because… they’re fucking Google, but I’m wondering why the results are so different.
