Nobody mentioned number of speakers though
I think you answered your own question :)
ebassi moment
pretty sure it’s been a thing since even before free compilers
I’m not sure what people think AI was ever going to be… every time something new comes out it’s always dismissed because “it’s basically just a X that does Y”. I think that will continue to be the case until there is some literal connection to actual brains, in which case the concept of what a brain is will probably be questioned as well.
Randomly stumbling upon a font nerd was not on my bingo card today. I didn’t know about Revue, thanks.
Now imagine how many services just silently cut off your password at 8 characters and people never notice.
UltraVNC is very guilty of this.
Why the IP leaks or not is entirely dependent on each user’s individual opsec… how you are connecting to the VPN, potentially your firewall/routing table setup, how the browser interacts with it etc.
You said “if I do the same with VPN, i see that my ip address isnt in that payload”, but then you said ipleak.net does leak, but that you “followed information” from thehackernews.com before using ipleak.net, which from what I read seemed to just say “connect to expressvpn and run the test”… is that actually what you were doing? Were you using expressvpn the whole time or did you switch to just that one for the ipleak.net test or something? It’s not clear to me.
The bottom line is that the IP can only leak if you let it. Regardless of how the VPN is accessed, whether that’s via a browser configuration (extension or proxy setting) or an OS-level layer3 tunnel (managed by a separate app or the OS itself), a misconfiguration or misunderstanding of how those work could cause the leak and there’s no fool-proof way for a web page to do anything about that. If you really want no leaks, then the user must actively choose to block all internet connections to anything BUT the VPN (and regularly test/verify that it works), some call this a “kill switch” although I really dislike the term.
As for the “enforce VPN” option… depending on your definition of “VPN” in the context of your app, IMO you simply can’t do anything reasonably useful here. There are so many ways to mask your IP that there is no definitive way for a web page to know with any certainty that the user is “connecting via a VPN”, which some might say is impossible to quantify anyways. At best you might be able to use very flawed methods like scanning known IP ranges of well-known VPN providers, which IMO does not count as “detecting a VPN”, and even worse, doesn’t help with any sort of leak. I could be tunneling through tor, a neighbor’s wifi, ssh, or remote desktop or something for all you know. Does any of that count to you?
I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make
Yes I don’t understand the point of misskey either. It just seems to be a Japanese clone of mastodon with a small, differing interpretation of some parts of ActivityPub.
You’re wasting your breath. These people cannot be defeated with logic. You can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t use reason to get into in the first place.
At the very least they will claim “gender neutrality and/or a person’s right to exist is not an ethical OR political issue.”
then what’s the point if you’re still not getting away from the same people?
Non-technical is not the same as political, not even close. I explicitly chose that term because it’s not considered subjective by anyone, but especially not by the people who think gender-neutrality is somehow NOT political. If you claim that it is, they just quip back with “a person’s right to exist is not a political issue but a human rights one”, which of course was never even the debate, they just twist things around to fit their narrative.
technically correct, the best kind of correct
