Obfuscating it would be possible if necessary, but it’s better when you aren’t forced to maintain such an obfuscation stack.

I’d be delighted if my VPN provider provided even an obfuscation layer that I could use on my routers, but alas…

For UDP you’d also usually reencode packets as http3 warp ones so it looks like a video call. Then the other end needs the same tooling to restore the normal packets.

Is this similar to when you mask it as webrtc?

Luckily this deep inspection is illegal for isps in the eu.

As per the GDPR or something else?

There, people need special tools that send fake packets, randomize timing, and split and group packets into different sizes. All of course decreasing speed and increasing latency.

Something other than DAITA?

What does frequency mean in this context?

In any case, they could also run an AI and do pattern recognition to identify exactly what is being transferred. Too bad my VPN doesn’t yet provide DAITA as a separate package that can be installed on a router…

I wish they knew how that’s EXACTLY the same thing as trying to extinguish a fire with oil 😂 With all due respect, of course 🙏

Lol I didn’t even consider that. But you’re right. You mean like less tech savvy people who installed “m4lware remover x3000” and became part of a DDoS attack?

That smile. I can’t.

This does however make me wonder if it’s possible to interact with a Linux system without first logging in. Some bootloaders have a shell and I think there’s also a UEFI shell? No idea what they are capable of, though.

Thanks for sharing your story and your opinion! Hopefully, with all the warnings and scary stories I have written to my friend, they’ll come to the same conclusion.

vibe cuck-coded Updated my dicktionary. Sorry, dictionary. English is hard.

$23,650,000 as we speak 🤦‍♀️

They deBASED Linux, if I may be so bold. Thank you.

I may just not be getting the joke, but… omARCHy is Arch based 🙃

Thanks! 😊 I never thought of that… Great idea! I’ll look around and also maybe post in this community asking for open source CAD (Archicad like) software.

Unfortunately, in 2026 running markedly unsafe code is not for the novice and faint of heart.
Really sums it up then. Thanks! I’ll emphasize the risks to my friend, and the rest will have to be up to them. At least until I can get back up on the VM horse. Too many other projects at the moment. 😅

If I understand you correctly, there is simply no replacement for vetting in a container/VM before handing it over?

This is turning out to be a good day. Thanks fr 🩷🩵🤍

Right. Thanks for the headsup! I’ve never “dabbled” in executables/roms/software piracy before, so I never really worried about malware in that sense (while still keeping a fair cyber hygiene). Maybe it’s time to setup a virtual machine in case I ever want to test run “shady stuff”. Thanks again! 😁

Awesome! I don’t know anything about emulators at the moment, so I don’t quite understand the implications of “general emulator” versus "builds of different emulators, but I’ll start reading up on the subject as soon as I’m done with another project! 😊

Thanks! 😁 I’ll do my best. As soon as I finish the game I’m making an appreciation post towards the devs while spitting on the Nintendo corpses.

Cool! What emulator?
