  • In high school I used to pass USB flash drives in an Altoid can (to protect it), good times.

    I also used to be the CD-R guy (and later DVD+RW) for my group of friends, I was really into .cue sheets and putting hidden tracks on those (including dumb shit like seeking back in the middle of a slow song would reveal heavy metal or something).

    These days I host a Tailscale network — unfortunately with residential upload speeds being trash, I’ve moved all my Blu-ray rips to Storj and set up a WebDAV gateway on a VPS (running Tailscale). It’s fast as hell but I’m not in love with decrypting on the VPS.








  • That doesn’t really solve the issue of others near the public network being able to sniff out which IP addresses you’re connecting to. In fact, they could deny service to your DoH provider and force DoH not work (if they did the same to the VPN endpoint hopefully your VPN has a kill switch).

    As for shifting the entity that sees your network traffic, that’s true and you definitely have to trust the VPN provider (and whatever company their traffic is passing through).
