@deutrino ah, that's not fun.
@deutrino Are you using one of the firewalls that they rent out? If so that would likely be why. I have comcast and regularly ssh/http back to my house.
Apparently some of the math professors are now repeating the the story about how I got dragged out of class by the campus police for concealed carrying of a ukulele.
Is it wrong that I like the attention?
@deutrino What ISP do you have that blocks port 80?
@Ocean Although I think firefox has it's own built in emoji font from mozilla, I don't know if you can disable that easily.
Friendly reminder: there are a ton of old, cheap Sun SPARC computers on eBay! They're really cheap because they're too slow for servers and too Windows-doesn't-run-on-it for the modern consumer!
@Ocean Remove or disable your emoji fonts
@jordyd This is why I like using efi stub for booting
For the future (in case you didn't figure it out and off the top of my head) it's usually something like:
linux (hd1,gpt1)/vmlinuz
initramfs (hd1,gpt1)/initramfs
boot
@jordyd It even has the word assassination in the title :p
DNS over TLS is a thing btw. You can shield your DNS from 3rd party listeners by providing all your DNS to some (single) company exclusively with pfSense. Choose your poison. https://www.netgate.com/blog/dns-over-tls-with-pfsense.html #servicetoot
@Commander1024 Those are some of my favorite genres of music!
Orchestral soundtrack in movies is really underrated IMO
@jordyd Isn't that just NDIS? or are you talking about iPhones?
@nh as far as I can tell there's a special deamon launched by DEs such as XFCE that handles theming, if you want theming without the DE you have to figure out how to launch it yourself.
@Ocean22 shouldn't windows go under the the fear technology-yes branch?
@dphiffer I'm still not convinced DNS over TLS makes a whole lot of sense (unless you want to recurse yourself which is considered rude, and even then...)
@silicon Document writing? I use pandoc so you have all the typsetting capabilities of LaTeX but can write everything in markdown with vim. Then I use aspell for spell check (although you can use :set spell in vim, I just prefer the rhythm that creates) and git for version control. It will also let you generate docx files which some people really like.
TIL Chrome is scanning your files, including private folders, in the background as an anti-malware measure

There’s currently no “off” switch, but apparently the devs reassure that scans are local and not “cloud” based. But this still has consent and privacy implications
