You can’t have UDP and TCP on the same port? I don’t think that makes sense, I have DNS listening on UDP and TCP both on port 53.

For the first time I read this as “Americ-kuh-kuh-kuh”

I mean, I agree that that sucks but as was previously stated Chromium can be forked.

Oh yeah I always forget people still cry about that. I’m a big fan of the unified experience that the software and hardware bring together, and that experience hasn’t been poor for me.

I’ve been blocking Google domains completely (except for OCSP) for almost a year (using DNS). I’m sure some domains use Google Cloud and slip past the DNS blocks, but usually the only things that break are captchas and some shitty old websites that pull jQuery from a Google domain (why would anyone do that?).

“It breaks all of the internet” is a little dramatic, maybe if you block their OCSP domains that’s true.

I do agree though that 80% is low, even if only counting the traditional tracking script that’s been used everywhere for ages.

I’ve never heard of flashing to pass, the only thing I’ve seen it used for is to let a car in the right lane trying to get into the left lane know it’s safe to do so (as a driver in the left lane). I’ve only ever seen it used by truckers.

As far as Minneapolis goes, I’m quite the opposite. Having lived on the west coast I dread going to Minneapolis — everyone seems to be in a bad mood whenever I go there.

I hate to say it, but when traveling in Tucson the Canadian drivers make me absolutely crazy. It’ll be 100°F out and they’re driving as if there’s ice all over the roads.

And usually all the cars around them had to wait six years because they weren’t aware of the upcoming turn (busy intersections).

Even this should be pretty easy — just connect directly (easy on IPv6) or through whatever tunnel you need depending on the game. Tailscale comes to mind, but you could do L2 tunneling with OpenVPN if you need to simulate an actual LAN.

I don’t understand why you’d need a central server at all.

I already VPN 99% of my traffic offshore. Do you think the threat to VPNs is eminent? I’ve been thinking about shadowsocks a lot but I’m not sure.

I definitely think it’s cultural/regional. I was highly sarcastic with everyone in real life growing up, but moving across the country I came off as extremely rude and have met people from all different parts of the world that only appreciate certain nuances/layers of sarcasm and have adjusted myself accordingly.
