VPN by Google One is shutting down for good
  • What's the threat model here? I can think of no DNS shennanigans that would not be detectable through the authentication mechainsms in TLS (chain-of-trust). Not having to trust network infrastructure is exactly what TLS is for.

  • VPN by Google One is shutting down for good
  • What is it that you're doing that is still not using some form of authenticated encryption? Almost everything is https, ssh, almost all mailservers have tls support, irc does have tls support.. What's left that needs to be encrypted by a VPN?

    What should we do about Threads?
  • Many who don't see the danger were not here in the 2000's. There are so many great technical achievements that were killed by microsoft, google or facebook EEE'ing the shit out of it. Remember jabber/xmpp? Yeah, both FB and Google implemented the protocol in their chat apps. Everyone was thrilled; I could use my jabber client to connext to fb and talk to my friends. Then they remembered there's not any money in that and killed the projects.

    Even if it's good for the fediverse now, as soon as they realize they can make more money by not having to sync with other companies and organizations, they'll be out of here, leaving nothing behind like a swarm of locusts. The only defense is defederation.

    Anyone happy with vibration pump?

    About a year ago I bought a quickmill carola https://www.quickmill.it/en/products/lever-group/carola-mod-0960/.

    In general it's not a bad machine; I like the E61 system, I'm happy with the PID and it's compact and looks ok. I absolutely hate the vibration pump, though. It takes 10-15 seconds from activating the pump to get to max pressure which is a significant of my shot time. I havn't found a great way to deal with it and I'm close to get a different machine just because of the pump.

    Does anyone have a vibration pump and is happy with it? Is there some technique you're using with the E61 to get around it maybe?

    Is the language set correctly?

    Somtimes when I post to other instances I have issues when I don't set the language. I think there is normally a "Undetermined" lanuage on lemmy but this instance doesn't offer it. Could this be the root of some UI issues? Is this set correctly and what does it mean for my profile not to have selected undetermined?
