There are some that were fixed, but fixed with great effort. The hole in the ozone layer for example.
My final answer will be overpopulation. Personally though I think the population should be about 1 billion just so I don’t feel quite as much existential dread at my own insignificance.
They can see the timing and packet size for your requests to the VPN server, as well as what your VPN provider is. On the VPN’s end they can see what sites the users (collectively) are visiting, the packet sizes, and the timing. That information alone is enough to identify who is doing what with reasonable accuracy.
This is before issues of using the government’s massive resources to brute-force encryption, possible government backdoors in VPN servers, and browser fingerprinting.
There are various steps that can be taken to mitigate this, and this of course assuming the government has access to the ISP’s metadata from both your network and the server’s network (not a stretch, but not necessarily guaranteed).
Did they not already have an army of lobbyists?
I assumed they did, given the amount governments are bending over backwards for them.
I’m not sure the topic is really about privacy, but if your threat model requires a VPN + Tor, you’re already screwed.
The government can see the metadata of your requests. With enough metadata they can identify what you’re doing. Adding a second layer doesn’t really change that.
I stopped watching him myself for a few reasons.
Firstly because I watched that 3.5 hour documentary on the Nvidia AI GPU black market and thought “this could’ve been an email”. I gained next to nothing from the time I spent on it and I did not enjoy it. The same applied to the rest of his videos too.
Secondly because I’ve started to be pro-professionalism, and Gamers Nexus lacks professionalism such as in his dealings with LTT.
iVPN, PrivadoVPN, Windscribe and ProtonVPN are generally considered leaders in the space IIRC.
Based on what I’ve heard, Fedora and OpenSUSE are the two leaders when it comes to desktop security on Linux.
Why OpenSUSE specifically?
Firstly, my general rule is “upstream or Mint (because screw snaps)”. CachyOS was a decision I made prior to this rule but otherwise I have 6 options (Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, and OpenSUSE).
So by process of elimination, OpenSUSE it is.
Another part of it is nostalgia. I used it briefly when I was first switching to Linux full-time. I ran into various issues and moved off it. Private internet access wouldn’t install, I didn’t even know what proprietary media codecs were at the time, and tumbleweed had a few bugs that caused me trouble. Despite all that, I’m nostalgic for it partly because of the themes I ended up installing.
Two reasons. Firstly because it’s illegal to have the same distro on two different machines, and secondly because I’ve been meaning to switch back to OpenSUSE for a while (but I ain’t gonna be gaming on OpenSUSE).
IIRC the CachyOS optimizations were basically a rounding error. I’m thinking of just switching my gaming PC to Fedora (and switching my Fedora Laptop to OpenSUSE maybe).
I don’t get it. Why is everyone donating to Omarchy. What are they hoping to get from that?
The team used advanced spectroscopy techniques to confirm the prototype’s charging behaviour, which showed it retained stored energy for six orders of magnitude longer than it took to charge.
They do say “6 orders of magnitude”. So a million times. No idea what the absolute numbers they’re dealing with here are, but a million seconds is 11.6 days.
Mullvad had some anti-censorship option last I checked. Don’t remember what exactly it does, but it had some sort of option.
Mullvad VPN let’s you buy 10 years in advance IIRC. So if the government bans VPN’s (but Sweden doesn’t) you might still be able to use them for a decade.
Queen to e4
Queen blocks G2 and puts the king in check. Bishop blocks G1. King blocks H2.
It’s frustrating that in 2026, Debian doesn’t have a firewall installed by default.
Chromebooks are what everyone’s using in school. Windows is in a state, and if businesses are going to replace it they sure as hell aren’t going to use Linux (too informal) or MacOS (too locked down).
For individual users, something like 90% of internet browsing is on mobile devices so Android and iOS have already won over Windows bigtime.
This is a problem for me. I’m a good rememberer but not a great creative thinker.
And that reorganization and reinterpretation is the difficult part for AI.
Hopefully they win a majority. Better that they damage their brand with a majority government in a single state before they win a federal election.
