All of my public facing sites are behind a reverse proxy. I use Nginx Proxy Manager it runs from docker and has an easy webgui. It takes care of things like https certificates and stuff to.

Use wg-easy has a dead simple web ui then just send your friends a link to wireguard downloads page and a copy of the their .conf file it has an import button.

I just tell them its the app you need to connect to my network. True enough and I've never had anyone have much issues.

Yeah I don't know a ton about EV's because I need to be able to drive 500km+ on a tank for work and life out here. Be kinda cool to have one as a work truck someday though be handy to have that much power available for running things.

Gasoline works better in cold climates than diesel. But once you get around -20 to -30°C and colder all vehicles will need an engine block heater to start reliably. The oil gets too thick.

And the batteries start to freeze if they have a slight drain. So lots of the time if you don't run your vehicle for a week or two you'll need a new battery because the lead acids freeze and are ruined when their voltage drops.

I think it will be tricky but not impossible to mitigate the effects of extreme cold on battery life. All the cabin heat is made by the EV battery anyways right?

The court cases stuff which is where you also called me a sweet summer child. And yeah the whole thread we were kinda talking crops purposes so oh well.

Don't condescend to me. I understand the link between government and capital and am not an american.

What are you even proposing anyways? I am against government oppression and copyright law in general. All private property is theft from the commons. But in the meantime I will use a VPN because I trust Mullvad in Sweden more than I trust my own ISPs.

If I was committing crimes that were more serious then I would not use a VPN I would use a more robust security model.

My ISP is not powerless without government. They have massive power, they control 1/3rd of all cellular and internet communications. And like I said also control large amounts of satellite TV and cable broadcasting.

Well there are only three isps here and yes I understand what you are saying but. It never gets as far as government force it doesn't have too. The ISP will drop me.

Also the ISP is the media company lots of the time, and its only a crime that will go to court and win if I made money distributing copyrighted material.

I don't want my ISP to know much about what I'm doing either. They aren't trustworthy, they often get caught illegally shaping traffic and such too.

I use a VPN to stop work camps I stay at from knowing what porn I watch, to stop media companies from sending me copyright infringement notifications, and to stop public wifis from having as much info on me.

Its all about threat model. If you're concerned with government actors then you need to be more secure than just a VPN.

My countries intelligence agency is not working with media companies like that. The cops and courts would eventually enforce some order against me if it ever went to court but more likely is my ISP just ditches me as a customer if I get too many strikes.

I dunno it doesn't really say does it? I kinda just skimmed it they could be fairly low level out of college type jobs.

You might if it was a lower level position and you had like helped run your team or something like that. Or maybe university sports. I had hockey team and my high school band on my resume until I had real experience. Talk up things like working with a team and our fundraising stuff. Proves you probably aren't a complete antisocial weirdo at the least.

It also picks up new episodes as they air.

It isn't mostly used by minorities it is mostly used to target minorities. Though people in poorer conditions tend to have worse trouble with addiction due to lack of safety nets and people who are on the streets more are going to get busted more. Like no one is going to bust me if my buddy brings over an 8ball of coke and we snort it all up in the basement.

And I remember the quote its from Nixon's aid. But I remember trying to verify it once and not finding anything conclusive.

I remember my eritrean friend telling me the cops here used to to stop his car and do body searches on them and everything I mean he was dealing crack and had guns but they had no probable cause for the searches it was definitely just because he was black. They would never do that to me because they don't want to and they know I'd be calling a lawyer. I've definitely driven around with more drugs than he had on him and wasn't even a little worried because I was following traffic laws in a decent car.

Also had a white friend who put himself through college running coke from the big city up to ours. He had a newish little Hyundai never once got stopped or hassled at all.
