not called Brad but rather a lad, from Bradford in the UK.

Enjoys breaking apps, escooters, spam rings and sometimes bones, but not my own. That sucks.

So, I just had a gander myself and this is pretty involved

Maybe there's some existing thing I'm missing but it would be cool :/

Yeah no doubt, and that's why I like Tailscale.

I just map all users Tailnet visitors to guest, and give me r/w and all others r/o.

Bugs me though that they could include it, with big red flashy warnings like you get enabling USB debugging.

I keep pondering why Android has blobs for CIFS/SMB but not NFS, too.

Still haven't found a legit reason why.

Yeah! I've been working far too hard and meant to get back to you, and the main admin has had a IRL issue so I can't nag them right now and they also mentioned they need to update the instance?

You had a gander through the docs/GitHub to see if an existing thing lives for scheduled posts and could be even hosted by a numbnuts here on a spare Pi etc?

my comment meant I was preparing to fight.

Preparing to fight beforehand.

how much they must value our personal data, that it only just now became worthwile to fight blockers with this much effort and PR/image depreciation.

You got it, on the nose.

Shadow boxing is always good practice.

Ultimately VPN users aren't a protected class so it's legal to discriminate.

This is what I've always found fascinating about companies and governments trying to block their usage.

All major firms/companies/governments use them, so, how the hell are they gonna stop them when their bosses get poked that's something's up 🙉

Fun times ahoy.

Because generally the TSA in Yankland are overly aggressive, but to be fair it can happen anywhere and here in the UK if they snag you into the backroom and want to search your phone you're screwed either way since they, can.

Seems a bit dubious doesn't it, especially since they'd be compromising any investigation by Tweeting about it in the first place.
