Wow I had no idea that this existed for such a long time. I’ve clearly been living under a rock… 😅

Seconding AdGuard. Also, there’s no need to pay, the free tier is more than sufficient. Links for convenience:

• macOS
• iOS/iPadOS

gluetun bundles a control server on port 8000 which you can query for the port number (don’t worry about openvpn being in the url path, it still works with Wireguard). In my bash script (running on the host system), I use curl to retrieve the forwarded port number and then do a POST with that data to the API of my qbt client which is running in another container on port 8080.

There’s a reason why most providers don’t allow that feature anymore

Yes, cheese pizza

It’s said that port forwarding is a security risk

Says who? Assuming a fully patched system/client and a properly configured firewall/network, I’d love to hear more about these “risks”.

Also, qBitTorrent works just fine without it.

Only if you don’t care about seeding

Based. I use gluetun with qbt and ProtonVPN (with port forwarding). Despite this being a tricky config, it was still pretty easy to setup. Can share bash scripts if anyone is interested.

I’m personally a big fan of bore. It’s easy to setup/use and there’s a free public instance operated by the developer.

Here’s a link to the PR for anyone who’s interested

Allegedly Tim Cook does the same thing. Can’t imagine what he’d be doing 16h a day, but I’ve heard he’s almost always at Apple Park

Just updated to the latest iOS (17.4.1) and it (un)fortunately does not work 🥲

Glad to see progress on this topic. Pretty sure microplastics will be our generation’s lead.

Maybe I’m in the minority, but I treat my phone like an old school digital camera. I routinely use Image Capture to export my photos/videos to my computer and/or external HDD. I’ve got a 256GB phone, but I’m never using more than 1/5 of its storage space at any given time

Assuming you’re referring to Apple Store credit, I’ve run into this exact scenario before in a somewhat related way. Accidentally claimed a gift card I meant to send to someone else (be careful with that redeem button in the email lol, it’ll instantly apply the balance to your account with one click, so don’t fat finger it like me 🥲). Apple support wouldn’t (or couldn’t) undo that action. In other words, it’s a one way street. Once the credits enter your account, they can’t be used anywhere other than the Apple Store/icloud/App Store/etc

It’s in the app. Tap on any item and then scroll all the way down until you see the box that says Looking for specific info?

Honestly glad I went with the 15" M2 MacBook Air when it came out. This is a very modest spec bump over the M2 Airs.

Faster downloads (sometimes significantly), easier to connect to seeders.

This. And if you really want to install something, I recommend a good adblocker (ads are sometimes a vector for malware distribution)

• Safari: AdGuard (free tier is fine)
• Firefox: uBlock origin
• Chrome: uBlock origin

Not surprised. Building cars is a high overhead, low margin business. Not to mention being difficult… like very difficult. Furthermore, if the rumors are to be believed, the initial version of this car would have been priced around 100k US, which is totally unaffordable for your average consumer. Apple is better off sticking to something that they know, like building software for other peoples’ cars

100% this. OP is describing a great plot for an B-tier Hollywood movie, but reality tends to be much less thrilling. Obligatory xkcd.

This. I switched over to protonvpn, but I’d switch back in a heartbeat if Mullvad re-enables port forwarding.
