Project mention: Ubuntu defaults to wg0 instead of eno1 after installing Wireguard | /r/Ubuntu | 2023-07-12Btw you can try this script..
Project mention: Official Minecraft wiki editors so furious at Fandom's 'degraded' functionality and popups they're overwhelmingly voting to leave the site | /r/Games | 2023-07-11
Project mention: HiddenVM – Use any desktop OS without leaving a trace | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-21
I'm talking something like hblock (https://hblock.molinero.dev/) which is for host blocking malceous+ other websites. Imagine blocking every single address manually. To get a picture how impossible it be here is the sample hosts file (https://hblock.molinero.dev/hosts) just do line count and you will understand.
Project mention: Snowden leak: Cavium networking hardware may contain NSA backdoor | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-19So in real life terms, what does this mean for people that own USG3s? If you're so inclined, replace it? Or not use the VPN feature in the Unifi admin console?
Personally, I just forward all WireGuard traffic to another computer on my network and use https://github.com/burghardt/easy-wg-quick to setup a simple VPN.
While Graphene comes with Vanadium, their own Chromium-based browser, pre-installed I chose to go with Mull as my default browser. There wasn't anything wrong with Vanadium, it's just that I've been using Firefox (and the wonderful uBlock Origin plugin) on my Linux machine for a little while now and have really grown to prefer it to Chromium-based browsers. In my research I had seen a lot of mentions of Mull and Fennec, both based on Firefox but with further hardening and privacy modifications. This detailed browser comparison chart (produced by the developer of Mull) is what ultimately led to me choosing Mull. It's definitely worth a look at the chart even if you aren't in the market for a new browser!
Project mention: include NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryDiskSpace & NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryFileTimestamp Information🤔 | dev.to | 2024-04-01Use the following one: https://github.com/Wooder/ios_17_required_reason_api_scanner/blob/main/required_reason_api_text_scanner.sh
I used the methods of GitHub - elliotkillick/qvm-create-windows-qube: Spin up new Windows qubes quickly, effortlessly and securely on Qubes OS to install windows 10 in a qube, but it won’t accessing internet.
