Also depends on the country. It isn’t everywhere. Non-commercial file-sharing is legal in a number of European countries and I’m sure elsewhere.
It could be taken as a sign of the health of the democracy’s function and technically literacy of the population. In a society of tech heads with a highly functional democracy, it would be DRM measures that would be illegal…
Just a follow up to this.
So I never ended up contacting O2 to say “please stop this”, I just used Wireguard to home and ignored it. Until the local Morrison’s wifi started doing the same thing but worse and I couldn’t event Wireguard round it.
So I finally just bought a domain and setup my Apache to redirect the old duckdns to the new domain.
So far this all seams to be working great.
“die hard moderates” should be an oxymoron…
But I think there is Republican&Russian troll&bot farms encouraging these people to not vote or vote third party.
If Trump loses again, I don’t think he’ll accept it this time either.
It’s mad the US is so mess up. Some of this is extern meddling, but a lot is just built in. The US need to realize it isn’t the best structured democracy at all. Only two parties and open bribery is shockingly bad.
I worry what will happen if Trump wins or loses. If he wins, it will be terrible. If he loses, he will claim he won again and he will try another insurrection, but harder.
Guake. Has been for years. I am in and out the terminal all the time, so F12 works well for me. Plus I used to play Quake and used the in game terminal to do all kinds of things. Plus I’m an old RISC OS kid and F12 was the key to get the “star line”.

That’s good, though I still think it’s a problem they exist. I mean a lot of apps are a webpage wrapped in an app anyway, so why not just a webpage and skip the platform dependence.
Increasingly lots of stuff won’t work without all of the Google services. Banking apps won’t run on root devices or anything odd they detect.
Even without that, I can say how seamless it is.
The main problem is political not technical. The market had been allowed to become a duopoly and too many critical things now need an app on an Android or Apple phone. The worse I know is banks needing an app for authentication for their online banking. No separate security device anymore, those are ewaste apparently.
Public EV chargers where you can only control them from an app.
Riding book at theme parks. The cases are growing. Even the app is just wrapper of hidden web page!
Frankly I think regulation is required to get competition in the market. Not the only tech one either. Why is it so hard for law makers to see monopoly in tech?
Those dependencies adenoid and no kept Upton date, unlike deb/rpm installed stuff. Best sandbox to not compromise your system. Also hope that sandboxing is done right…
Yer, I used Rethink DNS in F-Droid to test this already. Basically it’s fine when the DNS is encrypted.
Edit: I was wrong. It was just working again generally.Even with DoH DNS, I still see “Access denied” going to duckdns.org and my sites still don’t work. Direct IP works. Not sure how this block is working yet.
I’ve tried it with F-Droid’s Rethink DNS already and everything is fine then.
Pretty sure they are doing DNS packet inspection. If the DNS is to duckdns (and no doubt other Dynamic DNS), then port 80 has their block page, and not sure what they are doing with 443, but it’s not accepted.
Boringly, it’s not being messed with right now. It’s done this before. Coming and going. It’s one of the things that stopped me working it out before.

I tried their help chat bot and it just said to install their app after a few exchanges. My phone is de-googled, so good chance their app won’t work. Plus, I avoid installing closed apps as it is unhygienic. Each one seams to demand access to contacts and location and won’t work if you deny it. Dystopian present, let alone future.
Pretty sure they are working via DNS packet inspection.
It’s not the DNS server. I’m sure of this because Termux uses a different DNS server but does the same. I also tried setting my phone to use OpenDNS directly. I’m pretty sure they are inspecting the DNS traffic. Exactly so changing DNS server doesn’t help.
I don’t see a problem when using IP directly. I mean the IP is static, so I could must buy a domain, but I’d also have to piss about with my setup.
I’ve emailed them. See what they come back with. I mean unless they block SSH, Wireguard and Tor, I’ve got to hand work arounds. I just doesn’t like them fighting me.
If you’re not in the UK, try a UK proxy?
O2 didn’t until recently. EE does’t currently (wife’s network)
I’ve been doing some investigating. It’s not just DNS. Termux doesn’t use the system DNS, it uses Google. But there is still a interference with SSL on 443 and a different page on port 80.
Edit: oh and the IP address is current with ping.
I can only speak of on Linux. If you know the disk is bad, clone it, with ddrescue, and fix the clone. But in future RAID and backup remotely. Also, next gen filesystems like ZFS and Btrfs for check sums and self healing and subvolumes with send/receive deltas between them.
