DanAtC··on To 'Reclaim Future-Making', Amazon Workers Published Collection of SciFi Stories
The year is 2058, I drive up to my home after working at the amazon warehouse for 14 hours, it's my 6th day of work, I finally get my day off. I drive home in my amazon basics SUV listening to "NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL AMAZON BASICS 54". After filling up my car at the amazon basic recharging station I pull into my amazon basics car shed and open my front door after verifying my prime membership to my amazon basics branded Ring doorbell. I get my amazon basics hungry man TV meal and sit down to watch some flicks on my amazon basics fire TV. Stranger Things finally entered it's 7th season, and I'm so excited I pissed my amazon basics boxer briefs on the way home. The show leaves me foaming in the mouth it was so good, I came into my amazon basics fleshlight 4 times. I go to clean it out in my complete amazon basics full bath, I'm all out of amazon basics bar soap, fuck. I walk into what used to be my home office and go to the nearest wall of amazon dash buttons. I press the amazon basics dash button and receive a notification on my amazon basics fire tablet that my amazon basics checking account has overdrawn. My account gets charged a $50 overdraft fee and I hear a knock on my door. The amazon basics SWAT came to my house, beat me to the ground with their amazon basics batons, and cuffed me with amazon basics handcuffs. They throw me into the back of an amazon basics crown vic for the next 30 minutes. The windows are tinted with amazon basics 100% tint, can't see shit outside. The car comes to a stop and the door opens. I've been brought to the amazon basics prison for delinquents. I'm now forced to work 16 hours a day making amazon basics clothes hangers for the next 35 years to pay off my amazon basics overdraft fees. I'm amazon basically fucked.

DanAtC··on Supreme Court upholds TikTok ban, but Trump might offer lifeline
What ISPs blocks? American ISPs don't block anything. The US government prefers to seize domains and hosting.

We're not (yet) like the UK or EU where rights holders can click a button and have IPs blocked without due process.

DanAtC··on Kannel: Open-Source WAP and SMS Gateway
Is T-Mobile's 2G network still alive? I thought it was shut down months ago.

On that note, are there any 4G phones that support WAP?

Edit: I saw your comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42434295 Using an eUICC is a neat hack! I'll have to try that.

DanAtC··on French Piracy Blocking Order Goes Global, DNS Service Quad9 Vows to Fight
Agreed, except they might go after ISPs who can poison/drop recursive queries.

Or just force them to block IPs; they don't care about collateral damage: https://torrentfreak.com/piracy-shield-blacks-out-tech-news-...

DanAtC··on Deep dive into finding RSS feeds
A lot of clients don't respect caching headers[0], but yeah, static content hosting is a solved problem.

And there are always CDNs if you really have a large, global audience.

DanAtC··on Yggdrasil Network
Yggdrasil can do this but you have to bring the physical layer.
DanAtC··on Yggdrasil Network
There have been a few updates recently including a revival of the iOS app which had languished for some time.

I use it as a VPN to connect my phone to my home network which are both peered privately to a VPS.

It's a bit convoluted vs directly connecting to home, but it was easier to set up than worrying about dynamic IPs, port forwarding, and exchanging Wireguard keys.

Multicast peering is neat in that I can access my home server directly using the same Ygg IP when I'm home. Problem is, I have to use an IP; the iOS app doesn't support configuring a custom DNS server for the Ygg VPN connection.

Headscale is really a better solution for this use-case, but it's kind-of neat to know there's an alternative Internet available with just an additional peering.
