Start educating them on what internet is and how it works early, before they even get to use it. Allow them to observe how you use it. Explain the good and the bad it can provide. I feel like a lot of how you should use the internet is just how you should generally live your life - stranger = danger, don’t give your personal information to anyone at all (even if they claim to be me/my friend/police/whatever), understand how content engagement works and who benefits from it (ads and manipulation are everywhere, not just online), and so on. Ngl I’m kinda baffled how we navigated a much more dangerous real world “just fine” up until the internet has apparently become some unfathomable evil. By not allowing your kids to learn early, you are just gimping their future, they will have to go up against people who often literally don’t know a life without the digital world. Not to mention - if you don’t teach them the basics of understanding how to navigate the world and its dangers, they can get hurt whether the internet still even exists.

My one opinion that might be controversial is that I believe that by enforcing arbitrary blocklists (outside of just generally useful stuff like uBlock Origin) and restricting content without explaining and demonstrating anything you are simply conditioning your kids to be ok with surveillance and censorship.

Yes

Theoretically - yes there will be some loophole to do some stuff online. Something tells me people don’t exactly want to pay for gigabit connections and then be forced to tunnel through kilobit loopholes. Look at north korea to see the end goal, look at iran to see phase 3, look at russia to see phase 2, you are currently in phase 1 of the plan to isolate the internet.

Tor also has been banned in authoritarian shitholes for ages. New bridge IPs pop up and get banned daily. Good luck getting a working bridge in the first place, too.

Cloudflare and recaptcha are the best ads for Anubis.

Ngl that was the only unique thing that attracted me to 7 and now that they effectively backpedaled I don’t see why would I fire up 7 over 6 or 5. Yeah it’s still an option, but them giving up on what was supposed to be the core feature of the entry is a sign that whatever the future content updates may be - they will be made with 1 civ through all ages in mind. Wish they would’ve stuck to their guns and instead improved on the idea, oh well.

What made you think it’s from your ISP? It’s written in English with grammatical mistakes and the name sounds Polish. Looking it up it seems like they are a VPS. If they are lying - not sure what would they be trying to get out of you, do not provide them with any personal information whatsoever. Also where did they even get your email? Is the IP they mention actually yours? Is your IP even static?

As a general check up:

• Update your router firmware; if your router is too old it genuinely may be susceptible to infections that then turn it into a botnet. If it’s your own router, you can also factory reset it and set it up from 0. This applies to all your repeaters, too. Ideally look into using OpenWRT if your hardware supports it and keeping it updated.
• Update the phones, look through all your apps for anything that you didn’t install.

Definitely do what this comment tells you to actually find out if the problem exists. Or if you are too unsure of how to navigate through all that - call your actual ISP and ask if they could help you. If it’s not your own router, they might be able to do it remotely.

Depends just how willing you are: demand domestic websites block any non residential IPs and report any attempted or even successful VPS connections, allow only registered businesses to operate VPNs, use government shipped mobile apps to detect people’s network configs/installed apps/private and public IPs, block any known VPN IP ranges, use DPI to block VPN protocols and detect unusual traffic, allow access only to a select list of domains and IP addresses, etc. There’s a myriad of ways to enforce this, but in the US they will need a few years to set up the hardware necessary to do it, that’s the one thing the US has going for it. Sleep on it, though? You will wake up to intranet in 10 years.

The title is overly optimistic imo. This is more of a life support system for a comatose patient. The work done is great and keeps some people informed and provided with at least some international news and tools, but this is far from defeating the internet blackout.

I’m also somewhat surprised iran isn’t shooting down the satellites. The article mentions previous full jamming practices were stopped in fear of sanctions, but not like that’s a concern anymore, especially considering iran is in russia’s little fascist club.

To the people living in the rest of the world - start taking ID verification threat seriously before this is your reality where the only outside news you get is from a USB stick you buy on a shady open market for 30 bucks from a guy who has a satellite dish out in the mountains.

fmhy.net is very noob friendly, it’s a collection of all sorts of sources for pirated content that are considered safe to use (sometimes with an asterisk - would be mentioned to use VPN or adblock, for instance). If you see a star next to a resource - the maintainers of the list consider it one of the best at the moment.

Which adblock, which VPN? privacyguides.org for all of that.

Which torrent client? qBittorent - in advanced settings find network interface and set it to your VPN (if you have to use VPN for torrenting), so that it never uses your regular internet.

How dare you use Total Overdose with that title :(

Emoji ridden repos just scream scam to me, too. I feel like people who genuinely want to make an app and actually keep it maintained wouldn’t resort to AI slop code or even a description.

Ye fuck your legitimate customers even more why don’t you

I’m using GTX980 on CachyOS with non open 580.142 driver which gets installed automatically if you are on an older Nvidia card, it works perfectly fine.

Nouveau driver crashes when anything more complex than a wallpaper is trying to render (literally, even context menus and taskbar icon names).

Did not try the open version.

Worth mentioning, Cachy and most other distros seem to use Nouveau in their live ISOs, so you’ll have to use nomodeset on Cachy and an alternative way to boot without GPU drivers on other distros.

Start watching, turn on this extension, let it buffer the video, then save it.

Whether one likes the game or not is whatever, I just take issue with the article pretending these 2 games are at all comparable beyond being games about pirates. Is Windrose also what TES: Redguard was supposed to be?

S&B was literally never supposed to be survival slop.

Sad to see, but not unexpected at all. The gems always come and go. And the fact that a piracy project is giving its users a more graceful exit period says a lot about the digital distribution industry. Music streaming services will silently wipe tracks off of the platform without giving you any warning, these guys gave a nearly half a year warning and a month+ period to download your stuff.

The second part - to me clearly sounds like the person is not a native speaker and just meant to say something along the lines of “hope you make x100 of what you were able to donate in the future”, basically just wishing prosperity.

Gave it a try, fully understanding it’s not even a released feature yet, it works alright, but on Twitch it fully breaks streams, so watch out for that if you decide to run with it.

That’s why it’s been “quietly added”, it’s not ready for use. You can add lists in about:config, but this is just a super early implementation.

Yes, you can adjust filter lists in Brave, including custom ones.
