Who knows? This is Lemmy

How are they making a profit doing that? Unless I sell for very low prices (which I do sometimes) it can be difficult to sell even at market price.

I saw it as a kid, it didn’t scar me for life by any means but it was pretty creepy.

But why? The dairy industry does some truly evil shit.

I’m just using WireGuard on a VPS with multiple interfaces. I’m still doing heavy ad/tracking blocking via DNS too.

As for App Connectors I’m working on a script (compiled program hopefully down the road) that can query a specific hostname using a specific interface (say, a US-only website using DNS over a US-based VPN) then create a virtual IP address that directs to that same IP using the correct tunnel.

My reasoning for the virtual IP address is that I don’t want to redirect every website on the host to the other tunnel—lots of servers have an array of websites on them.

What I found disappointing about Tailscale is I had to do a lot of “hacks” to make things work—DNS on each exit node had to match perfectly (despite using different exit tunnels)—then the shit would only work like 20% of the time. One day traffic for the US tunnel worked, the next day it was going out of the exit node. I also never got it working correctly in Docker so I was running multiple VPS servers.

If I remember correctly with App Connectors your client would query the App Connector for the domain, then it would return an IP address. The IP address would be set up to always go through the defined exit node. So if your DNS was off or you were accessing another website on the same server you were screwed. On top of that, it just didn’t work.

I loved Tailscale for about a year but am moving away from it because having multiple exit nodes with each redirecting traffic via commercial VPNs with DNS-based ad blocking and App Connectors grew way too complex.

I’m not saying you’re doing all this but if you do get to a point where you’re directing traffic to multiple countries Tailscale turns into nightmare to manage.

As for it feeling quicker due to it being a fresh install, don’t really expect it to slow down. Windows always slows down over time because its Registry is clogged, the code gets more bloated over time with updates, and the filesystem is kind of trash.

Linux generally stays quite nimble and quick in the long-term. It’s why you can take a decade old computer and still accomplish quite a bit on it with Linux.

This sounds like macOS (in a good way). Is the window really closed or just hidden?

What does that mean?

Look I love GPL to death but I’m not going to pretend that every OS vendor on the planet needs to give away everything for free.

You can like two things at once, and in my case I love my walled garden, commercial OS for end-user stuff as well as Linux for networking gear and servers. I used desktop Linux for awhile but at the end of the day I like things like Airdrop, AirPlay and the seamlessness of it all.

Honestly, I like BSD operating systems more so than Linux ones despite the licensing arrangements. Linux is open as hell (obviously) but it’s super disorganized. I haven’t found a package manager I like as much as pkg (especially installing binary packages and compiled from source packages side by side with shared libraries).

Looking forward to being downvoted to hell for having a differing view of Linux than all the recent Windows converts.

I’m mostly used to it now. Though -r is supported in macOS’ rm command I still prefer -R and use it even on Linux where I believe -r is the preferred argument.

Actually that’s a good point that I’ve completely forgotten. Docker uses the modern macOS APIs for virtualization these days, and uses Rosetta2 for amd64 containers.

Edit: Damn you’ve got me excited about FreeBSD again. I’m a much bigger fan of FreeBSD on bare metal but do love Docker and related Linux goodness!

It is now, but it was bash before.

But in any case once you start doing anything remotely advanced you’ll find the individual command line utilities are wildly different between macOS and Linux. They seem (are?) much closer to FreeBSD than GNU utilities.

That’s interesting. I haven’t really used Windows since the XP days so I didn’t realize there was already some VM stuff going on to begin with.

I always wonder how Docker works on macOS with a more UNIX-style kernel than Linux when even FreeBSD gave up on the effort.

I understand macOS is way closer to Linux than Windows (despite its differences) but is it really that hard to do Docker/OCI out of Linux?

Why did they give up on the wine-like approach? That seems so much better than running an entire VM (not even a Microsoft person but still).

As a business it’s possible to use Amazon for fulfillment only so that you can sell anywhere and have it shipped by Amazon.

You know, sometimes I try to read articles outside my echo chamber and at this point conservative == conspiracy in my mind. You’re just playing mental gymnastics the entire time.

How do you complete the captcha? For me it just loops; it’s to the point where not having the original link to an article is actually more annoying.
