Maybe they just really bought his full page Wall Street journal apology letter?

As a long time Charter/Spectrum customer (yay local monopolies) who’s toyed with my network a bit, I have heard about some of their network shenanigans, but they don’t seem to have hit my area. Guess I’m surprised it’d be defeated by something a simple as dns servers, and the MITM of it all if they’re redirecting traffic is terrifying, what with https and all.

I don’t think I can manage my IP settings on the phone as one would on Windows.

Certainly you can change your dns server on nearly any phone.

Hm yeah this one makes sense.

Guess I’m the asshole this time.

Charter customers experienced horrible download speeds using Charter’s DNS servers.

How did that work? Are you saying that charters dns servers were sending traffic to completely different places?

Tried to google for this but found nothing so hard to understand the problem.

Why not just switch dns servers instead of getting a vpn?

Tell me you’re a dickhead without telling me you’re a dickhead.

Yeah fair. Got me there.

EDIT: other guy mentioned throttling, which is interesting. But changing dns servers doesn’t fix that.

And how does this affect bandwidth, again?

[-] jve@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Tell me you don’t know how dns works without telling me.

Thank goodness they don’t have any deplorables in Los Angeles or San Francisco.

Moreover, Democrats seem to have done little self-reflection over whether their aggressive push to implement their progressive values alienated more conservative Americans and contributed to their own defeat in 2024.

Fucking yiiiikes.

Call it VPorN

Or PN in the V

Or maybe something more discreet I guess, but that’s no fun.

I've been slow to make an upgrade, and figure what better time to switch to linux?

Did what I could to try to research that the parts were all fairly linux friendly, with a warning about the motherboard's wifi7 maybe not yet supported yet by the kernel.

Looking for a mid-high range build without going crazy on the cost. Build actually came in a bit cheaper than I expected, so feel like maybe I'm missing something here.

My monitor, which I'm planning to keep, does have G-Sync, but I don't know that I'll miss it.

PS: I know i can get more life out of my old hardware, but I want to turn that into a NAS.

EDIT: Fixed link.

Lifetime Pass Member.. just put on The Devils Advocate (1997) and got a full 30s ad.

… just paused it to verify it was actually in my library… -and got another 2 ads… what the actual fuck? Just me?

EDIT: Looking back at the app, seems I was somehow in Plex Streaming, but how it was put up above my own content I can’t understand, and the movie page does not make it obvious that’s what I’m looking at.
