The fact that CachyOS more or less successfully replaced Manjaro’s purpose I guess is evidence of Manjaro’s issues.

I forgot but I think Bazzite had similar complaints (due to its use of silverblue) in which case it was just more straightforward to use Fedora or OpenSUSE if you don’t want to work with the read only root system.

Downstream distros need to bring additional value to the table to be worth using, otherwise there’s really no need if you can make a package group that accomplishes the same thing in one go.

(I don’t need strong censorship resistance; it just has to work in offices and hotel WiFis.

Wireguard on 443 or OpenVPN + Stunnel on 443

Wireguard is easier to setup because there’s no OpenVPN app that packages stunnel (afaik), so you have to run 2 apps on your phone to make it work.

A server like caddy can also accept HTTPS traffic for some regular websites next to the VPN server.

Wireguard uses UDP, so just run whatever you want on 443 TCP with caddy (unless you want QUIC for some reason?)

Anything beyond that and you’d be looking at using a proper obfuscation solution like Shadowsocks or obfs4, in which case you should look into Amnezia or Tor bridges.

Makes sense but since ISPs are essentially a monopoly in fiber, they get to charge whatever they want, despite the fact that I know AT&T’s break even cost for 5G fiber is $10 a month per line.

I think ever since Valve fought through their first lawsuit with Sierra and lucked out with them finding evidence showing destruction of evidence, they probably developed zero appetite to fold for frivolous lawsuits lol.

Hey to be fair I know several people who do know, but so poorly that they’ll still be defnitley grinding your gears lol.

I’m late to this reply, but Chinese pilots and aircraft have actually become quite competent this decade. Their behavior with international intercepts doesn’t mean anything, especially when its usually done by some ye olde J-11s. And amazingly they kickstarted the LRAAM arms race again with their highly successful PL-15.

The F-35 does get to face off against China’s J-20 and J-35, but to answer your question, the thing was built as an export product to make a ton of money for Lockheed.

While there is obvious technological advancement from the F-22, it has a top speed akin to a dated block I JF-17, reliability as good as a land rover, and parts/munitions expensive as golden caviar.

It’s just an export all in one stealth solution because there is no alternative that was developed.

Which is why I want to see it pitted against any nation that has properly delved into counter stealth operations. I feel like if you can successfully light it up, it would struggle in a BVR fight, unlike the F-22 which has plenty of power to mess around.

There’s no direct Chinese equivalent because both the J-20 and J-35 are more akin to the F-22 (although J-35 is a bit closer), but I would not be surprised to find the F-35 not being able to keep up with such adversaries.

And I’m fairly certain USAF is completely aware of this in their redteam exercises, which is why they continue to field the F-22 as their primary stealth air superiority fighter, if not outright their primary air superiority fighter.

Even more annoyingly for the USAF, I don’t think the upcoming F-47 is going to come before China decides to jump on Taiwan, so they’ll more than likely be fighting with whatever they have today.

They don’t mention it, but I highly suspect its actually not significant.

I used to think fast charging did the same thing, but it turns out that even the heaviest wattage implementations have negligible effects on cycles and health.

As long as your driver is smart enough to control or manipulate the voltage at certain capacities (<15% and >85%), the higher power won’t affect the cell quality.

I am literally just waiting for China to catch up and knock over all 3 of these TSMC suckers.

I don’t care if they throw a 2000% tarrif on it, I will figure out a way to bypass it so I can enjoy pre inflation PC prices again when high end GPUs were going for $300, SSDs became so cheap that the HDD market actually started falling behind, and you could chuck RAM sticks around like spare change.

The American Auto Industry has been struggling to keep pace since the 80s lmao

They only exist because they threw their money at congress to make horsecrap legislation that bans competition.

They even assassinated sedans with EPA laws that stimulates everyone to make SUVs lol.

Define right wing because the last time I used that insult, it was against users spamming DNC propaganda lol

Reddit and X are the two social media spaces where I legitimately don’t know how they’re making money lol.

I mean I guess reddit signed an AI deal for content scraping, but what’s the point if no useful new content is generated.

Even ignoring the fact that its probably the leading reason why Gemini sucks total crap.

Next year’s CES is gonna be every AI product from this year’s CES but with no progress on release date because they can’t even buy the consumer grade hardware to produce it since it all went into data centers lol.

Not to ruin people getting off of streaming, but the biggest bang for buck in storage will be regular old hard drives unless you need to backup like >500Tb of storage (then tape drives).

DVDs are cool but they only have a 4/8Gb capacity.

BluRay pushes it to 70/100/120gb which is great for one 4K movie lol.

Use our easy bash oneliner to install our software!

Looks inside script

if [ $(command -v apt-get) ]; then apt-get install app; else echo “Unsupported OS”

Still less annoying than trying to build something from source in which the dev claims has like 3 dependencies but in reality requires 500mb of random packages you’ve never even heard of, all while their build system doesn’t do any pre comp checking so the build fails after a solid hours of compilation.

Gamefreak used an additional hardcoded RSA public key auth in Pokémon Black/White because for some reason they didn’t trust OpenSSL to not fail for their HTTPS API connections, and yet here we are in 2026 with unauthenticated API endpoints.

Was ChatGPT unable to generate swagger docs they could have lazily plugged into an API scanner bruh

Or better yet notice the big fat “unathenticated” label when you look at the endpoint list.

I completely blame ChromeOS.

Even on AD snafu’d windows, the first thing we all did was figure out how to bypass any block and do what we wanted to.

Kids are growing up not knowing there are things you can do aside from accessing the internet and loading crappy webpages.

I forgot already but doesn’t he work for MSFT now?

I swear the moment he got a new job is when he came out with run0
