How well do they self-clean? How often do you need to clean it manually?

Same. It has really helped my neck, too. I used to need to prop myself up on a pillow so that my arms wouldn’t fall asleep. Now, it’s no problem.

This is pretty compelling. I vote “solved”.

I got his meaning. Isn’t that the purpose of language, in the end?

What browser are you using?

Even better, so it mutates into superior data!

And farts.

I was with you until you did potatoes dirty.

Fun fact: Brussel sprouts taste better now because the bitterness was intentionally selectively bred out of them in the '90s. They were, apparently, only bitter for a period of time because the ones that were easiest to mechanically harvest were bitter. Pre-mechanical harvesting, less bitter varieties were more popular.

I have solved this problem! The trick is to use two Docker containers:

1. Gluetun (https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun): set this up to connect to your VPN.
2. Tailscale (https://tailscale.com/kb/1282/docker/): set this to use the Gluetun network.

Here is an example docker-compose.yml:

version: "3"
services:
  gluetun:
    image: qmcgaw/gluetun
    container_name: gluetun
    # line above must be uncommented to allow external containers to connect.
    # See https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/connect-a-container-to-gluetun.md#external-container-to-gluetun
    restart: unless-stopped
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
    devices:
      - /dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun
    volumes:
      - ./gluetun:/gluetun
    environment:
      - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=airvpn
      - VPN_TYPE=wireguard
      - WIREGUARD_PRIVATE_KEY=xxx
      - WIREGUARD_PRESHARED_KEY=xxx
      - WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES=xxx
      - WIREGUARD_MTU=1320
      - SERVER_COUNTRIES=United States
      # See https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/tree/main/setup#setup
      # Timezone for accurate log times
      - TZ=America/New_York
      # Server list updater
      # See https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/servers.md#update-the-vpn-servers-list
      - UPDATER_PERIOD=24h

  tailscale:
    container_name: tailscale
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
      - NET_RAW
    volumes:
      - ./tailscale/var/lib:/var/lib
      - ./tailscale/state:/state
      - /dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun
    network_mode: "service:gluetun"
    restart: unless-stopped

      - TS_AUTHKEY=xxxxxxxx
      - TS_EXTRA_ARGS=--login-server=https://example.com --advertise-exit-node

ADL vice, ADL vice, every morning hypocrisy.

This seems to be a general theme. Those arguing loudest for better privacy are really saying “only we should be allowed to invade your privacy”. See: Google, Apple, the EU

But, I’m talking about some good jpegs.

Woah. You could fit a good 2-3 jpegs on that bad boy.

They don’t exist. Believe me, since I finally put my old LG V20 out to pasture, I’ve been waiting. The closest thing is the Fairphone, but it doesn’t support all US LTE bands.

It’s too bad Android didn’t lean more into it’s relative freedom. Instead, almost all Android manufacturers have followed Apple’s lead closely. I have to believe there’d be a sizeable market for a flagship Android phone with, say, a removable battery, headphone jack, SD card slot, and an easily unlocked bootloader.

Do you donate to charities?

I agree with you strongly. We have the technology, it’s just pointed at the wrong crowd. The eyes of the surveillance state should be on the rich and powerful, not the masses. The price of power should be the loss of privacy.

My (often unpopular) opinion is: none. Our government agencies should exert their efforts improving privacy and security rather than subverting it. We should be a nation of white hat hackers.

OK, thanks for explaining. I’m glad to be wrong.
