I wish I had another IP to proxy with. But I guess if the feds ever wanted me for whatever reason, even if Cloudflare did let me proxy more than just port 80 and 443 and whatever I can manage with Tunnels, it's not like they wouldn't hand me over instantly.
My IP being up on the internet isn't a huge deal either; if one of you poopheads who aren't feds wanna look me up and know what city I'm in or portscan the hell outta me, like, bring it on I guess? It'll help me hone my hardening skills anyway.
And now I can finally have a Coturn server. But yes, another IP that I own and can stick an Nginx proxy on would be nice.
Cooking tidbit. I made this Italian recipe of milk braised pork yesterday. Haven't made it in years, but it tenderizes the meat like nothing else. Even on the 2nd day, it was juicy, tender. You can't mess it up. It looks weird bc the milk curdles, but it's good. Beat it, strain it or leave it. Recommendations were lowered for pork, too, and pink doesn't mean it makes you sick.

My name is Soliman — a young man and student from Gaza, carrying a burden far heavier than my age. Between my studies and the hardships of life, I try to be the backbone of my family in the most difficult of times.
We once had a small farm — olive and citrus trees, and a greenhouse where we planted not just crops, but dreams.
That farm was our only source of income, and more than that, it was a place full of memories, of hope, and of the laughter that once made life a little easier.
But in a single moment, everything was gone.
A fire reduced our years of effort to ashes.
We lost our source of living, our stability — and with it, a part of our souls.
Now, despite the pain, I’m trying to start over. I’m doing everything I can to keep my family standing, to find even the smallest light of hope that might restore our strength, dignity, and sense of humanity.
On top of all this, I’m also struggling with serious health issues.
I suffer from a urinary tract infection caused by the lack of access to clean drinking water.
Here in Gaza, we’re forced to drink water mixed with sand and other contaminants — there’s simply no other choice.
It’s affecting my health badly, and I need treatment I can’t afford in these conditions.
I’m sharing my story with honesty and hope, praying it reaches a kind heart — someone who can help, or even just share it with others who might be able to.
If you’re able to support us in any way, here’s my GoFundMe link:
Every share, every kind word, and every small donation could be a lifeline for us.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking a moment to read my story.

My preferences are: relatively small phone, very close to 6 inches, a high refresh rate display, 90hz or more, a capable camera array, preferably with a video portrait mode, and, the hardest one, I don't want a phone sold by a chinese company.
Let's start with the size. Current phones are just way too big. If I can't reach the top left corner with my thumb without shifting my grip, it's too big. Period.
As per the provenance of the phone, Chinese manufacturers are a red flag for me. It's not paranoia, but every chinese company is legally required to hand over all information about their users to the chinese government: techradar.com/news/dell-wants-…
I used Samsung phones for a long while. I started on the Galaxy S8, then I had an S9+, an S10e, then an S21. I ran the default Samsung ROM on some of these, and I find Samsung phones great. I even miss the curved edges screen.
My problem with Samsung is more in terms of reliability. All phones I owned from them had the exact same issue: after about a year, they stop recognizing my SIM card. This happened to EVERY Samsung phone I ever owned, so I'm done with them.
So that leaves Google, the Pixels are highly rated by people who use them.
But first, and it's subjective, I find them horrendous to look at. Plus, they're very unreliable. The first gen had severe performance degradation, the second one had a bad OLED screen that burned in way too quickly, and an easy to break USB C connector. The third pixels were plagued by software issues. The fourth pixels had a bad screen again, and a very insecure face unlock mechanism.
The fifth pixels seemed to have huge manufacturing issues with the screen separating from the main body, and almost right after launch as well.
The 6th one has issues with the fingerprint sensor not working well, the assistant could ghost dial random contacts, there was a screen flicker issue, so basically no quality control on that phone.
And as per the pixel 7, it looks like the camera glass is spontaneously cracking.
I'm sure I could look hard and long enough and find something that I'd enjoy, but Android is just messy. Samsung's brand of Android, called oneUI was pretty good, with a great design flair, easy to use with one hand, with major controls at the bottom of the screen, good gesture navigation, and looks wise, it was pretty good.
BUT it's riddled with ads in a lot of the default applications, and it's a mess of applications you can't remove. It's bloatware central.
If you go with Vanilla Android from Google, then you get something that is way more trimmed down, with only Google apps and services, but the design is horrible, in my opinion.
Which leads us to alternate ROMS. Graphene OS works on Pixels, and as I explained, no way I'm buying one, not with that track record.
Then there's Lineage, or /e/, my favorite one, which goes even further than Lineage in terms of removing Google crap, and has a very nice simple aesthetic that I find super pleasing.
/e/ is what I would use, if I could find a phone I like to use it on. My Galaxy S21 is in a drawer, and I'd love to use that with /e/. But I can't, because they don't support it.

Despite a US-Vietnam trade deal with tariffs, Chinese investment in Vietnam is booming. Chinese manufacturers are relocating to Vietnam to mitigate higher tariffs on goods from China, taking advantage of Vietnam's lower costs and proximity. While this makes Vietnam a key player in global supply chains, it also increases its reliance on Chinese components, complicating the US goal of decoupling nations from China.

We're nearing the end of October already, and this means it's time for a new release of Ubuntu 20.10, Groovy Gorilla. There are new desktop features, and new plumbing, as always, but I mostly have some thoughts about the Ubuntu desktop in general. Does 20.10 deserve its name?

Ubuntu 20.10 still uses GNOME, and it embarks version 3.38 of the desktop environment.
First, the application grid can now be re-arranged by hand: no more alphabetical sorting, you can put app icons in any order you desire, in the grid, or in the application folders. These now handle pagination if you have more than 9 applications in them, and the grid will scale with the size of your display, so you can see more apps if you have a big screen.
The date indicator now displays your upcoming appointments, which is a feature I've been enjoying in elementary OS, and that really helps with dealing with a crowded agenda.
You also get a microphone indicator when recording audio, or doing a conference call, and you can mute the mic from that little icon, which is nice.
You can also toggle the battery percentage in the battery settings, and that's the result of an initiative to bring the GNOME tweaks settings back into the main GNOME settings, so we'll have to see where it goes next.
Finally, you also get an option to reboot, directly from the power menu.
Ubuntu 20.10 also benefits from improved fingerprint support and login, thanks to a new GUI, that I unfortunately can't test, as the fingerprint reader in my keyboard, or may laptop aren't supported.
Users of an ethernet connection will also be able to share it through their wifi card, thanks a new hotspot that you can just scan from a mobile device to connect to.
The application selection in Ubuntu 20.10 is unchanged, with Firefox as the web browser, LibreOffice as the office suite, and Thunderbird as the mail client.
All these apps gain something interesting, though, as LibreOffice now has an icon theme taht actually integrates with Ubuntu, based on Yaru, and it looks pretty good in both light mode and dark mode.
Thunderbird benefits from a calendar plugin by default, which means that it's finally a complete solution out of the box, even though I would have preferred they went with Geary and the GNOME calendar instead, as Thunderbird still looks really out of place in my opinion.
Firefox gains better touchpad scrolling on laptops, with smoother pixel per pixel navigation. The improvement is really noticeable, and makes a huge difference in how the browser feels when used on a laptop.
Finally, the screenshot tool also gains a new look, but its feature set remains unchanged.
Ubuntu 20.10 packs the Linux kernel version 5.8, so it's only one version behind the latest one out there, and should get as much hardware support as possible here. As always, the nvidia drivers are up to date as well.
Ubuntu 20.10 also suppriots OEM kernels, so manufacturers that want to ship their own kernels with support for their hardware can do so. It's an important feature, since Linux has been popping up on multiple big name hardware manufacturers like Lenovo and Dell.
In terms of hardware support, Ubuntu will now run natively on the raspberry pi 4, which is a huge boon for people who want to use these little boards for small desktop replacements here and there.
Ubuntu Studio 20.10 moved to KDE as its default desktop, instead of XFCE, which should give it a more interesting look and feel out of the box, and sees the return of the Jack Mixer.
Kubuntu 20.10 ships with Plasma 5.19, since 5.20 released a bit too late to be integrated, which is a shame. It uses the KDE apps 20.08.1, and uses Firefox 81 as its main browser, and LibreOffice as its office suite. All KDE4 and QT4 libraries and apps have been removed from the archives, and a plasma wayland session in installable, but still not supported officially.
Ubuntu Budgie can now allow you to search for the various GNOME settings panels, they have a new optional applet to have the menu as an app grid, and they're using the Mojave icon theme, which looks kinda mac-like. The team has actually helped in fixing a bunch of bugs and paper cuts, and the list if pretty long, you'll find a link in the description below.
