You know when you consider that most of the “upper crust” of society appear to be involved in some weird pedo sex cult being run by a foreign country and that they vacillate wildly between being complete idiot megalomaniacs and narcissistic psychopaths…
It’s actually pretty shocking things are working as well as they are.
I believe the whole thing is related to having power over another.
It isn't the pedo thing as much as it is power.
@Arthur_500 I’m sure it’s not ALL about power.
It’s also about being part of the club, cross network insurance / mutually assured character destruction, commission of crimes that mark you as an enemy of God, decency and morality.
Doing it and getting away with it?
Well that’s about power. And if you can get away with that… what couldn’t you get away with if you stick with the club?

i guess i should take time to read the guide. this is awesome
> I hate proton for closing the VPN API endpoint for unauthenticated users, I had my own tiny tool to retrieve server load info, which I used for switching to the least loaded server from a predefined list of exit countries in a cron job. Now I have to figure out a way to authenticate — maybe not a bad thing, my last tool was in Go, time to apply my skills and re-implement it in Rust 😄
i only used them prior when part of paid gift sub i received 😅 but it worked pretty well. i had used their client (circa 2018) on a t440 and it worked but felt bloaty(?).
do they support raw wireguard connections these days? if so either kernel-level or userspace (wireguard-go) is optimal imho
do they support raw wireguard connections these days?
Yes, they do support "normal" WireGuard — over UDP that is. Last I checked, in-kernel implementation worked fine for me. Alas, we have local… "peculiarities" — WireGuard connections to the outside world are filtered by most ISPs and cell carriers. Wrapping it in TLS makes it somewhat obfuscated — at least it looks like a legitimate connection, not something-something VPN. Right now on my phone to access "unfiltered" Internet I have to use WireGuard to connect to my home network where I have a box always connected to Proton over OpenVPN and use Squid proxy running on it — not exactly your average guy's setup, but I don't really mind as it enables me to access my internal resources directly from my phone.
Sadly, OpenVPN is also not guaranteed to always work — sometimes they start filtering its traffic too 😩
Some get a cheap VPS and host a VPN server for even more obfuscated protocols like V2/VLess — good protocols, I believe that's what they use to bypass censorship in China! Problem is — sometimes they start blocking IP ranges, AFAIK currently Hetzner and CloudFlare are blocked, so they might also block my VPS at some point. Proton at least has hundreds of entry points belonging to IP ranges of different countries — at least some of them should remain reachable. That is why I think figuring out how to use their flavour of WireGuard wrapped in TLS is still a good strategy for now.

Record-breaking extreme weather is the new norm in the UK, scientists have said, showing that the country is firmly in the grip of the climate crisis.
The hottest days people endure have dramatically increased in frequency and severity, and periods of intense rain have also ramped up, data from hundreds of weather stations shows.
I wonder how the grid is going to cope with people rushing to get air conditioning to deal with the heat.

Been wondering about the "Maxwell List"
"Ghislaine Maxwell is willing to speak in front of Congress about The Epstein Files, sources tell Daily Mail...
'No-one from the government has ever asked her to share what she knows. She remains the only person to be jailed in connection to Epstein and she would welcome the chance to tell the American public the truth.'"
Knowing how fatal is it to go public about one's willingness to talk about this, I hope she makes it.
