Imagine if cars only now started to become a thing and we were living in a walkable city with viable public transportation.
We would probably as a society question why do cars need to be so large and require massive empty parking lots.
It would be crazy to pave over a whole park in the center of a green walkable town.
That depends where your VPN is.
Say you access a VPN located over seas from your phone while on mobile data. Then your traffic is encrypted and your mobile data provider (for your phone) should only see traffic to one IP address.
Say you access the same VPN while at home connect to wifi or Ethernet on a PC (or on your phone), then your ISP should only see traffic to the one IP address (that’s located over seas).
Now let’s say your are tech savvy enough to run a Wireguard setup and or Tailscale setup at home and make your own VPN. Then you access that from work or from overseas with a mobile phone or laptop. All your traffic should now show as connecting to your homes IP address directly, but keep in mind your home ISP provider then sees you connecting to sites like Google, Facebook, or Lemmy.

Will someone think of the poor oil and gas industry?! /s
And not to mention cars not crossing two pedestrian crosswalks at the same time. The design is a win win for every body!
Shoes and shirt, or no service otherwise.

Same, I refuse to have my OS linked to anything other then a local account.
Especially since most email accounts now need cell phone numbers, and home addresses.
Don’t plug to many otherwise people might start jumping ship!
This is why it’s important for people of all ages to support transit and walkable cities.
Cities and towns should not be designed for the demographic of people physically abled to drive. Nor should they be designed solely for the car.
Once we get older, most of us will loose our independence and be stuck at home as a result. If you live in a sea of single family homes locates in suburbia you won’t be able to get anywhere.
I would recommend you try and challenge yourself to navigate your neighborhood through the eyes of a elderly person or even that of a small child.
How walkable is your neighborhood, are there any car free areas or neighborhoods close by? Do you feel safe walking to the bakery, do you feel safe walking to the pharmacy.
What is the closest coffee shop and restaurant to you. Can you walk safely to the mall and school. Look for any uneven sidewalks and highsteps, is it comfortable to navigatable in a wheelchair or pushing a walker?
This one infuriates me so much. Car crashes are so common in North America especially drivers running into buildings for example. Yet streets and roads are never redesigned, or it’s never questioned as to how to prevent it from happening.
Excellent NotJustBikes video talking about this.
If I run WireGuard at home as a personal VPN does it provide the same sort of QUIC obfuscation? Or is there something that I can implement similar?
Who would have thought widening streets and roads, increasing speed limits within cities and neighborhoods, and building all infrastructure with a car first mentality would be detrimental to people.
Streets are destinations, roads are throughways!
Design streets properly for people, and design roads properly for cars. Don’t mix these two into “strodes”.
I was under the impression a Supercut meant a condensed version of a mini series or season where the episode have all the filler removed and turned into a 1-3hr movie depending on content left over.
This would take work and dedication for someone to do, with some artist style thrown in as well.
The last supercut I watched was Ashoka
Yup Facebook can and does scrap other websites.
Those log in with Facebook buttons tracking you all over the web even if you don’t log in with them.
My guess maybe a website like LinkedIn for example had your middle name and facebook used that to build your full name on your deleted account (that’s still floating around out there by the long last of it)
Yes! Bike lanes are car infrastructure. Anything that is creates to stop a car/driver from driving their car on to, or in to it, is car infrastructure.
Sidewalks for example were created to prevent cars for driving up or in the area. Crosswalks were created to standardize crossing zones where cars might expect pedestrians.
Prior to this city streets were for people, not their vehicles.
Imagine getting a request to have a government official access your self-hosted Nextcloud instance that you might be running behind a self-hosted VPN.
Now add into this total the amount of surface area taken by paved roadways.
What really gets me each time, is how unnecessarily wide most, if not all roadways are in cities and urban areas.
You have streets that are two dedicated lanes in one direction, but the total width is close to 3.5 cars. When you add this up for a typical 2 lane street with two lanes of travel each way, you get a street that becomes close to 6-7 cars wide. All to accommodate parking near the curb on certain hours of the day.
I find it so strange that cities spend so much tax dollars and budget to provide publically funded street parking. The cost to repave these wide streets every few yeara adds up exponentially and eats away at a cities annual budget.
Streets and lanes should only be as wide as the car traveling down them, and street parking should not be a thing at roadway level. Business should provide their own lots ideally with cobblestone to help with rainwater runoff, and this space the city paves over should be taken back as proper sidewalk space and green space, with the addition of cycling paths.
