Unable to Connect to Internet Without VPN


cross-posted from: lemmy.ca/post/45140185

I was able to literally 1 hour ago.

I changed my DNS from Next DNS to CIRA Canadian Shield (Protected) to test it out.

Then I was only able to connect to the internet through Mulvad VPN.

Then I changed back to Next DNS and I observe the same behaviour.

How do I determine what is causing the problem?

How do I solve it?

Das Problem ist dabei nicht nur, dass die Menge der Lieferungen unzureichend ist. Weitaus problematischer ist, dass Israel mit der Einrichtung der Verteilzentren die Internierung von zwei Millionen Menschen durchsetzen will. Durch Hunger sollen die Zivilisten in abgeriegelte Zonen gezwungen werden.

QUITTING GMAIL - alternatives for email, calendar, contacts


As I keep exploring alternatives to Google services, I'm now looking into which email services can replace the almighty Gmail. I won't be looking at other big companies services, such as Outlook.com, since they have the same weird practices as Google. Let's look at our options !

Consider supporting the channel on Patreon: patreon.com/thelinuxexperiment

Why quitting gmail
Gmail is a great service. It's free, it has plenty of storage, uses labels, allows to archive messages, and generally looks pretty good. It's also using all your data and reading all your emails. That's the main problem, for me.

Proton Mail
It's a solution designed to be as private as possible, where everything is encrypted, and no information is shared.
Your email account can be created without giving any personal info, and it is of course open source as well.
Proton Mail has a free tier, limited to 500Mb of storage and 150 emails per day, which is more than enough for my needs. More demanding users can part with about 4 euros a month, upping the storage to 5gb and 1000 emails per day. This tier also allows you to use your own email domain, and create up to 5 email addresses.

Interface-wise, Proton Mail looks alright. It doesn't have the clean, nice look of Gmail or Outlook.com, and the colors are not really to my tastes, but if you feel like it, you can use custom CSS to style it the way you like.

Proton mail can import your contacts, but unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any sync options with third party clients. The whole thing being encrypted makes regular email clients unable to read or access anything. There is an application, called Proton Bridge, that allows you to sync your email on a client, but it only works on Thunderbird, and is still in beta.

Net - Courier
Net C, or Net courrier, is a european mail provider. They not only provide an email service, but also some storage space (500Mo by default), an adress book, calendar, and photo storage service.
Creating an account is free, and lets you pick the domain name between a bunch of different propositions.

The TLDR is that free accounts are subjected to ads through third party cookies, including targeted ads, and premium accounts are not. Net-C won't read your emails, though, to offer ads specifically taileord to what you wrote or received.

Looks-wise, Net-C isn't that great, with a huge header, and boxy design, but it's clear enough, and can be customized, with different colors and sizes.
If you don't like the webmail, though, you can sync email with any IMAP capable client, as well as the calendar with caldav and ICS, and the address book with carddav. Net-C also supports Exchange Active Sync if you're into that sort of thing.

Even the storage space can be accessed remotely through FTP or WebDav ! This is great, since it means that your Net-C email, contacts, and calendar can be synced with any client you'd like to use, thus escaping the ads present in the webmail.

Net-C offers a Premium package, for 12 euros a year. This includes 20 Go of email storage, 5 Go of cloud storage, the removal of ads, as well as the access to the POP3 protocol for mail syncing.

If you want more cloud storage, you can buy a "cloud pack", but prices are pretty high, with 500Go costing 40€ per month, so I'd recommend finding another solution.

Zoho Mail
Zoho is a big company, providing services ranging from email, to a full blown CRM, to online document editing, project management, and many, many more. Zoho Mail is a full featured solution, integrating a mailbox, contacts, a calendar, tasks, and notes. Zoho guarantees privacy, and does not use or collect your data outside of what it needs to actually provide you the email account.
Interface-wise, Zoho looks more modern than the other services I tried before.

The free personal account includes your "@zoho.com" email adress, as well as no ads, two factor authentication, imap and Pop sync for email, and caldav sync for calendar. Zoho is a highly configurable service, with a ton of preferences.

Free tier users get 5GB of mail storage, but you can upgrade, with prices ranging from 3$ a month for 30gb, to 6$ a month for 100Gb. Both these tiers include access to a ton more Zoho services, and the prices are pretty reasonable even for an individual user

Conclusion
There are other email providers out there, but these are the ones that stuck with me. For more privacy-focused users, Proton Mail seems like the obvious choice. It has its limits, such a syncing with other clients, but this is the price to pay for full email encryption.

I now hesitate between Zoho and Net-C. On the one hand, Zoho seems like a full featured replacement for a lot of other google services, such as Drive, Docs, Keep, and many more. On the other hand, Net-C seems like a great independant solution, and is more in keeping with the "one provider per service" approach I'm looking for.

By Oriol Arumi at Torrefarrera Street Art Festival in Torrefarrera, Cataluna, Spain.

Oriol Arumí (Vic, 31 October 1972) is a Catalan painter and muralist living in the city of Lleida. His work is technically straddling between figurative and abstract art, and thematically between reality and fantasy. This gives him a wide range of possibilities that allows him to do completely what he likes at any given time: “I always have in mind painters as varied as Johannes Vermeer, Salvador Dalí, Claude Monet, Gustav Klimt and Joan Miró, not to mention of sketchers like Hergé or Moebius ”.

The way this was covered by @bloomberg on the radio this morning was pretty disappointing:
1. Don't give Trump more power than he has. He is ATTEMPTING to prevent foreign students from attending Harvard. The battle is obviously still ongoing.
2. Quit giving credence to people who push anti-Semitic rhetoric, invite avowed anti-Semites to dinner and support the AfD party and then turn around and say they are trying to destroy institutions which employ many Jews to prevent anti-Semitism.

"Starmer understands that if he sounds upset, even as he actively helps Israel murder Palestinian children, the media will be able to write him out of these crimes against humanity and wash his hands of the blood of tens – probably hundreds – of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza.

And worst of all, too many of us will go right along with this grand deception."

Switch from Google to Nextcloud in 4 command lines


After we reviewed a few services that allow you to switch from Google's, it's time to move on to something a bit more complex, but more secure as well: hosting your own services ! To do so, there is something fantastic, that can replicate most of what Google offers: NextCloud. It's not only a file storage solution, but it can also handle email, photos, music, calendar, an online office suite, and a lot more, since it has a giant gallery of apps that you can add to your own instance !

Set up your own Linux server with LINODE : linode.com/linuxexperiment
(USE OFFER CODE LINUXEXP19)

Support the channel on Patreon: patreon.com/thelinuxexperiment

Follow me on Twitter : twitter.com/thelinuxEXP

Commands:

Create a user:
adduser "YOUR USERNAME"

Give it the sudo permissions:
usermod -aG sudo "YOUR USERNAME"

Log out of the root user:
logout

Install Nextcloud:
sudo snap install nextcloud

Setting up the server
There are plenty of ways you can go about doing that. You could use an older computer, a rasperry Pie, or any machine at your house, and turn it into a server by installing the server version of your distro of choice. If you don't want to mess with that or you don't want to configure too many things, you can also turn yourself to cloud-hosted server providers, which is exactly what I'll do. There are plenty around, some geared towards having more storage space, some providing powerful GPUs for distributed calculations, and some oriented towards CPU power. Here, I'll be createing an entry-level server with Linode. I bet you didn't see that one coming !

Most providers will allow you to pick between pre-selected distro to install, or will let you choose a custom one to put on the server. For servers, debian-based distros are often the most robust, as are everything based on Red Hat. But here, Ubuntu has a distinct advantage over most other available options: you can install nextcloud with just one command line, thanks to snap. I know some of you aren't fans of this technology, but it's honestly the easiest option here. I'll be going with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, which should be stable and perform perfectly well.

Here, I'll pick a small Linode, called a Nanode, since I don't plan on using my server for file storage, but if you're planning on replacing Google Photos or Google Drive with Nextcloud, you should get something with a bigger hard drive. Most providers also allow you to add storage to your existing server afterwards, so no worries.

Creating a user
Once your server is created, and your distro has booted, you can access its console to install whatever you need. That's where we'll be installing Nextcloud through snap. To begin, we'll need to create a user that is not the superuser, called Root, so we'll login as root to do that. Enter "root" as the login, and the root password you selected when you created your server.
If you installed Ubuntu on your own server, you probably already created a user during the distro's installation, so skip that step !

We'll just type "adduser", followed by a space, and the name of the user we want to create. We'll have to answer a few questions such as the user's full name and its password. The rest is not important here.
Our user does not have the rights to run super user commands, which we'll need to install anything, so we'll start by adding our new user to the sudoers group.

Let's type usermod -aG sudo. followed by a space then the name of the user.

And we're done ! Now, we just type logout, to quit being root, and login as our new user, just by typing its username and password.

Installing Nextcloud and logging in
Using SNAP, it's only one command line:
sudo snap install nextcloud

Once the command has completed its task, we'll need to access our nextcloud instance. Simply get the IP address of your server. To do so, either look in your server manager, if you're using a cloud provider, or type:
ifconfig

Your server's IP address is the first series of numbers in the first line.

Copy and paste that in a browser's window to access your nextcloud instance. You'll be asked to create an admin account, so just the username and password you'll want to use to manage your nextcloud instance, and you're in !

Now, this method is pretty easy, but is has one drawback: it will install using its own HTTP and mysql server, so if you want to use the same machine for something else on top of nextcloud, you'll run two servers at the same time, which is not that efficient, but for our simple purposes here, it's not an issue.

And that's it ! Now you have a nextcloud instance up and running. You can explore its various settings, the apps you can install on it, all from the gear menu in the top right corner. I highly recommend you register a domain name and install an SSL certificate, so your server uses HTTPS instead of HTTP, it will be a lot more secure.

in reply to Null User Object

The prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) truthfully described the problem of inceldom:

“There are incels who were born that way, and there are incels who have been made incels by others—and there are those who choose to live like incels for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.” Jesus identifies three types of “incels” here: natural incels (“born that way”), forced incels (“made incels by others”), and voluntary incels (“those who choose”).

Truecels, or the truest incels, are born with facial deformities such as lopsided faces or eyes that are too close together or too far apart... but most incels today have been created by man. It's just not possible to buy a house and have 3-4 children anymore, and most women aren't interested in it. If you're a man in your 20s and you've got good income from a job, and cheap rent somehow, then you'll likely have to wait until your mid-thirties until all the women have got the careers and promotions that they want. Then they will "settle".

It's almost as if our society is designed to create more incels. Personally I am a volcel. Society is a cruel joke and I'd rather become an orthodox priest, than work 12 hours a day in a busy warehouse, driving forklifts or carrying timber. Sometimes I question why I bother contributing to society.

Fuck jesus, and fuck you for following that fictional loser.

"Jesus identifies three types of “incels” here: natural incels (“born that way”), forced incels (“made incels by others”), and voluntary incels (“those who choose”)."


That's not a thing. You're just full of shit. You can't even tell reality from this bullshit religious fiction.

That's why you're a voluntary celibate. Your religion talked you into devoting your life to them. Which makes you a giant fucking loser. Because everything you dedicated your life to is just stupid religious hate fiction.

The public's "mood" on immigration didn't come from nowhere.

It was manufactured by a nativist political party, a compliant media that refuses to distinguish between lies and reality, and a reactionary political opposition that would rather "just not".

Basically, for the last 30 years GOP/Maga has been inventing lies about immigration, the media has been reporting them uncritically and without context, and the Democrats have been like "WE AGREE!"

So if you want someone to blame...

in reply to John

The point here is that when you let disingenuous or evil political arguments fester, they eventually *become the conversation*.

GOP/Maga is *extremely* good at this long game of seeding cultural "truths" for decades and then reaping huge rewards as shortsighted and feckless politicians, businesspeople, and liberals dismiss them.

It helps that there has never been a major political party as narratively incompetent as the modern Democratic Party.

The Weaponization of NGOs: A Critical Look at Their Role in Post-War America

What began as benevolent outreach increasingly morphed into strategic instruments of influence, manipulation, and, ultimately, subversion. Today, many NGOs function less as public service organizations and more as ideological weapons—deployed against both foreign regimes and, increasingly, the American Republic itself.

#Palestine / Norway: Israel's Gaza actions endanger global Human Rights Law

#Norway’s international development minister warns that #Israel is setting a dangerous precedent for international human rights law violations in #Gaza which he states is making the world more dangerous by potentially normalizing the use of food as a weapon and restricting humanitarian aid access.

Norway, which recognized the Palestinian state last year, condemns these clear violations and maintains open dialogue with all parties, including Hamas, for long-term peace.

The Norwegian oil fund has blacklisted companies assisting Israel's occupation, adhering to rules against investing in anything that contributes to a violation of international law.

One thing you can almost count on at this phase -- the left will continue to practice everything that got them utterly defeated in 2024. Some people call that the definition of insanity! Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is clearly insanity! We can only hope that they're this clueless and prop up these two as their candidate.

A Farewell to Zeus, The Owl with Galaxy Eyes 😥


From Wildlife Learning Center

It is with shattered hearts that we share the passing of Zeus, our beloved Western screech owl, who touched the hearts of people from literally around the world. Though blind, Zeus adapted remarkably well to his disability and had a calm, gentle presence that left a lasting impression on everyone who met him.

Zeus came to live at Wildlife Learning Center 15 years ago after being found on someone's doorstep. He was treated at a wildlife rehabilitation center, where it was determined that he was blind due to trauma-perhaps he had flown into a window. We will never know for certain what happened to Zeus; all we know is that he was found helpless, unable to navigate the world on his own, and would require human care for the remainder of his life.

His distinctive eyes, which appeared to hold a galaxy or stars, captivated everyone he met, from visitors at Wildlife Learning Center to his social media fame from around the world. His eyes told the story of a tiny owl with a vast spirit, sparking curiosity and awe. Zeus was more than an ambassador for wildlife; he inspired a connection with nature that reached far and wide.

Under our care, Zeus was monitored closely, including weekly weighing to track his health. Despite eating well, Zeus began to lose weight. Blood tests showed no abnormalities, so a CAT scan was performed, revealing a large, and sadly, inoperable kidney tumor. There was nothing that could be done to save his life, so we ensured he was comfortable until it was time to say goodbye.

Zeus will always be remembered for his unique way of connecting with people and for the fascination he brought to so many. His memory will live on in our hearts and in the countless lives he touched. We will continue to honor him by sharing his story and helping other animals like him.

The world feels a little less bright without our treasured Zeus.


I know we've talked about Zeus here before, he had been Internet famous for a long time, after all. I first brought him up in a discussion about Burrowing Owls with a similar looking, but different, condition.

He was also shared by @ickplant@lemmy.world about a month ago, and I was happy to learn he was still alive then. (Post link here)

But sadly, he is now no longer with us. I am glad he got to enjoy a long and loving life for an owl with a serious medical condition. I'm so glad he was found and cared for.

Rest in peace, little buddy. The world doesn't get too many famous owls, but you certainly were one! ❤️🦉✨

This “shield” is not just for a niche set of chemicals, but for all pesticides and chemicals regulated under federal law.
