WebRTC isn’t magic. WebRTC does not bypass a VPN, nor is it the only–or even most common–way that software on your phone, Android or otherwise, can exfiltrate potentially sensitive information, intentionally or unintentionally. The way WebRTC on your phone might leak an IP is that during ICE, which is used by more than just WebRTC, the phone’s local IP addresses may be sent, and IPv6 addresses on your WiFi or cell connection may be globally unique. IPv4 local addresses will almost certainly be meaningless, private addresses due to IPv4 address space exhaustion, and any non-local address will be from your VPN gateway.

You cannot block ICE per app or system wide because it is not a system facility, and the permissions required to implement it on Android are not very specific.

I have 1 podman container on NixOS because some obscure software has a packaging problem with ffmpeg and the NixOS maintainers removed it. docker: command not found

Quarto and Docusaurus are for documentation. You may be looking for a more general static site generator like 11ty.

This will not work. The problem with vcard QR codes is that they are too dense. People would need to be shooting high resolution video at close distance with a steady hand for the scan to be successful. The only way this could reasonably work would be if they were wearing large micro QR codes, but not all scanners can read those.

He’s CEO of a large American company. Whether the company succeeds or fails, he’ll be left with more money than most people see in their life. It’s not make-or-break for him.

Claude says he’s sincerely sorry that users feel software quality isn’t a priority, probably.

Unless those drones have automatic collision avoidance they’re all going to come crashing down out of the sky on top of people.

Soon to be “previously banned.”

It’s not real consent if you’re forced to agree to use the product or if the terms allow the company to alter the terms.

You can get “smart” devices that do not sell your data, but they are less common and they can be hard to find when shopping. You may not get a choice about “smart” meters, but you may be able to obfuscate your electrical usage with batteries. However, if the batteries have an internet connection they’ll probably sell your data.

I don’t know what the plugin does but script to append an audio file to all audio files is possible to do cleanly in just three lines. Being able to write three lines doesn’t make something good at programming, and taking many more lines would make it bad at programming.

In many areas they also have facial recognition and license plate cameras.

Giving up a peace prize to end a war sounds eligability for a new peace prize.

Yes. The problem with Iraq was that during the invasion and occupation there wasn’t enough looting. Obviously, stealing from the country will bring the citizens over to the American side and stabilize the country to avoid a drawn out, unwinnable war.

Many senior level “software engineers” are just tenured programmers and they’re managed by business people who don’t know software engineering either. One of the major benefits of using off the shelf software libraries is that they generally work as expected and have been through much more testing than something you just wrote, and often these libraries even receive free or cheap maintenance updates. You don’t want your developers wasting time reimplementing things and then wasting more time maintaining those reimplementations.

Getting the AI to write it is like mitigating the initial reimplementation cost by going to Fiver.

Wireguard normally runs with higher than root privileges as part of the kernel, outside of any container namespaces. If you’re running some sort of Wireguard administration service you might be able to restrict its capabilities, but that isn’t Wireguard. Most of my devices are running Wireguard managed by tailscaled running as root, and some are running additional, fixed Wireguard tunnels without a persistent management service.

“Ministry of Love” doesn’t sound very edgy.

If there was so much voter fraud, why don’t we have a special presidential election in 2026? Since he’s doing such a great job as president and he’s fixed all the voter fraud, surely he’ll win again by an even greater margin.
