>Anyone who has browsed through one of these personal VPN services - or even a DIY VPN from a datacentre IP - for more than about 10 minutes will have experienced the increase in captcha's.

So has anyone behind random CGNAT.

What's up with KYC "in accordance with German and European regulations" to use it?

A number of EU member states don't require any id/registration for prepaid (e)SIMs. How is that any of their concern if you're buying a profile from a 3rd party?

This can be configured with service-policy.d(5), see https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/policy-rcd-declarative-... for example.

MZ-1 was also featured in Last Action Hero (1993).

>And my understanding is SMS can still be pricey.

It hasn't been for like 15+ years since pretty much every subscription has either unlimited*/or more than you can reasonably use minutes/SMS.

>Not sure what's weird about SMS in the US?

Don't you get (or used to) charged for incoming SMS?

> As someone else mentioned, it's probably also true in Europe that a lot of people would see having WhatsApp as close to essential.

What are you referring to? While it may be the most popular messaging app, it's not in any way, shape, or form essential. SMS is also universal, mostly unlimited, and much less weirder than it is in the US.

> A lot of banks don't even have web interface and those they still do require you to install and link smartphone app to be able to log in or to pay with card online.

Which "classic" banks don't have online banking?

> While there might in theory be many second factors with different pros and cons, most bank only allow their own app and nothing else. The few stragglers that still allow text messages make it increasingly user hostile, e.g. rewrite 12 number code and enter special PIN, different from your normal PIN or just click a button in app!

I'm reasonably sure at least with most major Scandinavian banks you can use plain old OTP tokens.

The problem with Toshiba is that their enterprise drives have no warranty for non-enterprise customers in the EMEA region.

> IMHO, generally speaking, Samsung SSD products are the best on the market.

There seems to be 870 EVO reliability issue going on for years now [1]. Shit happens, what matters is how you handle it. Samsung has yet to issue any public statement on the matter.

>in suid binaries; like ping

ping hasn't required suid in ages, there's net.ipv4.ping_group_range and CAP_NET_RAW.

SIM swap attack is really baffling to me. Over here, even if someone gained access to your account and initiated porting, you still need to go the store and present your ID to complete it.

What is it used for?

>Should carriers still support something that was created 100 years ago?

No one is saying ATT should continue operating their 3G network. On what grounds are they terminating subscriptions?

Also, there's more than just Apple/Samsung/Google. Operators are shutting off 3G, but keeping 2G alive for a while longer for crap that's abundant, and doesn't need anything more anyway.

I'm sorry, what? First, moreutils package installs its parallel as parallel-moreutils. Second, pacman (like any other pm) wouldn't allow overwriting files belonging to other packages.

Fish doesn't source /etc/profile{,.d}, so it won't pickup additional PATHs and other env vars that packages set there, for example.

A workaround is launching it from .bashrc/.zshrc or terminal. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fish#Setting_fish_as_intera...

Nokia's first touchscreen smartphone came out in 2004. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_7710 it was an oddball, for sure, but still.

> but ZFS doesn't like living on a partitioned disk nearly as much.

Don't know how true is this, since it's not even possible to create a zpool on the whole unpartitioned device on linux. It automatically creates GPT label with zfs and a small efi partition.

Early 2008 MacBook4.1 with GMA X3100 originally shipped with 10.5 were only supported up to 10.7, and Lion was hot garbage.

No such law exists EU wide.

Unfortunately, no: https://github.com/lxc/lxd/issues/7509

Are there European countries left which don't allow AM or SSB? I know UK was an outlier, but they allow it since 2014.

You are talking about HD Radio, which is quite different from DAB/DAB+ used in Europe.

You don't need ID in Lithuania. You can also buy top ups with cash.
