    Crazy how far compatibility has come. A few years ago I was only emulating as it was such a hassle to mess around with wine to get your game to work. Nowadays we have steam and heroic and a linux first console in the steamdeck and when something doesn’t work its an exception rather than the rule.

    A massive thank you to all involved who got us to where we are and to those who continue to increase compatibility going forward. ❤️🐧



  • As an update I got a router beryl ax and I’m testing it out. My use case is use a vpn on the router and a vpn on the laptop.

    It works if I use an Ethernet cable from the travel router to the existing router and connect to the travel router by WiFi.

    It also works if I plug the travel router into the laptop via ethernet and have the travel router connect to the existing wifi.

    In other cases such as hotspotting it worked fine with one vpn but when adding the vpn on the laptop it resulted in too much latency.

    In all of my tests so far both vpns were openvpn based so I will test again with one of them as a wireguard vpn and see how that goes.

    Overall I’m pleased with it.

    Not off hand but here is a product tailored to advertisers that claims to be able to do it https://www.anura.io/product

    It stands to reason that this company must be successful in doing it if they are able to stay in business. That means ad companies are paying for it so they see value in it. So they are successful in eliminating or reducing their false positives.

    This was a quick search as I’m on mobile and in a meeting at the minute but you can be sure the big guys have in house teams for this eg Google, Meta etc

    I think its a waste of time as they still get your data. They have algorithms designed to identify false positives in their click through rates and they have access to info from databrokers and things like facebook. Once they correlate that they know who the person is and the ip addresses and fingerprints of the hardware.

    Instead I would recommend tails or use a combination of blockers and default with JavaScript and cookies disabled , only allowing on trusted sites.
