and none of them works

My mistake, thanks for correcting me.

They dropped shadowsocks support and now mostly standard protocols like the rest. Plus logging activity like supervpn. Bro advice: Skip it.

There’s no model that can differentiate between 7 billion people. They all come with a limit. I didn’t check the current latest model, because a few years ago when I worked in the field, such models shit themselves beyond 20million people.

Just to say, using face detection only, like these pieces of shit are doing, will for sure make them detain people who have nothing to do with anything.

Thanks for sharing!

From an initial look it seems like a reseller, I guess it will require identification + has some restrictions. I run some trading bots so that’s out for sure.

I meant AlexHost, if you find something with similar specs and pricing I would love to jump to it. AlexHost treats customer like garbage. Plus, only use shared instances, dedicated instances are terrible (terrible internet speed and host performance) check TrustPilot.

Regarding residential proxy, it will be okay, 1usd per GB in packetstream.

For VPS, I use AlexHost as they dont require id, plus crypto payments (I wish I could use something else, capsul.org is overpriced and much lower quality)

I ended up self hosting my own in a privacy-friendly low-cost VPS after trying everything in some censorship heavy locations (SuperVPN, NordVPN, Mullvad, Surfshark, Frog{something}VPN …) & rotating the address from time to time (I using a domain name so I don’t have to change all the clients). My private one uses whatever new obfs protocol pops up and some other things to make fingerprinting very hard. Combining this with residential proxies & TOR+private bridges for browsing works like a charm EVERYWHERE.

Commercial VPNs all fail because they use standard protocols and are very easy to fingerprint if you try enough.

It has its issues but so far the most reasonable.

(If you are in a censorship heavy area, go with something else, Mullvad relies on standard protocols that are easy to inspect and shut down)

thanks for saying it louder!

I kinda don’t fit in both. I need reasonable steady income/wealth (as soon as it covers food, a car, an apartment, gym, some clothes, … for me and some relatives) so I can do other stuff.

This will be centered around volunteering in different ways (open source, research, …) without fearing going homeless the moment I disagree with someone.

Given my low cost geo location, I am closer to this than ever.

There is a rush for some countries to have their own exchangers to convert local residents for tax & fraud reasons. But if I am to build such a large complex system on my own, I would just have it all.

But what’s wrong with active development on a legacy code base? Sure those FIXMEs and TODOs should be cleaned up as that’s obvious tech debt, but besides that?

I don’t think FIXMEs & TODOs are a problem either if you have a system on how to deal with them over time…

CTOs are not architects, so much is clear and this project shows issues running deep in your companies culture.

How could you tell? because yes, everything turns into a dick measuring contest (in PRs)

This project is 6x bigger than that 🙁 (~ 25k loc)

I am impressed! Thanks for the work and for sharing the good news.

Re-write in Rust?

close enough

I fail to understand how a technology can be a scam. How is Blockchain a scam? nosql is also a scam? what does a scam mean when talking about a technology?

Try to keep an open mind, some things might not work for you, but somebody else will find it great.

I see a similar sentiment with being anti AI (they mean anti LLMs), like what are they against? the transformer architecture? kinda weird, like declaring I am anti math or anti electricity or electronics… I don’t get it.

have you heard of AIPAC?
