That’s like a VPN with extra steps. Though if someone you trust in that country already has an exit node you can connect through, then that does sound good.

Does anyone have a good reason to go with PIA when there are others that offer a comparable service without these problems?

You can try I2P. The selection is smaller and it’s slower, but it’s free and privacy-first.

How does Tailscale help here?

Yep, clueless. I stopped reading at that point. For the audience, large language models come in all sizes and you can run some small but useful ones fairly quickly even without a GPU. They keep getting more capable for the size as well. Remember the uproar about Deepseek R1? Well, progress hasn’t stopped.

You can take a look at Interplanetary File System and see what data you want to mirror.

Oh, don’t worry, they do both

As a Tailscale user, I don’t understand how it helps with torrenting–don’t you typically control all the nodes? Or is there some way to configure a third party exit node?

Move slow and break things

Even the author says Flatpak is a sandbox.

The most simple but also least effective sandbox type is the container or wrapper sandbox that builds an isolated process environment and then executes the target application inside.

Flatpak provides an isolated runtime environment using a container type sandbox to execute the target application inside.

… there are two issues that prevent flatpak from providing a real sandbox environment…

Just that it’s no true scotsman, I mean sandbox.

Yeah, hopefully we can just buy cheap panels and put it together how we want. If that also opened up options for hackers to build entirely new display applications, or in new ways, that would be the dream.

Is that still the case if you use it in a flatpak e.g., Bottles?

They won the Battle of Britain with invisible military tech they invented, so it’s not that surprising.

But that’s the thing: televisions are complex and can be very difficult to repair, so what do you do when you can’t buy a dumb replacement anymore? I have the same issue with cars. I would like to replace ours with an EV, but they are a privacy nightmare whereas my car’s peak technology is FM radio.

I was thinking earlier today about how much technology waste there is because old stuff is superseded so quickly. Maybe in future we will treasure the tech we had before it all went to shit.

All I want is to be able to go back to previous acts. Basically to potter about discovering things after finishing the game.

I’ve used I2P for torrents and it’s fine. There’s plenty of popular stuff on Postman. The speeds are slower partly to the network but partly due to number of seeders, so I encourage everyone to get on there. Just be patient and there’s no problem.
