There are plenty of VPN and proxy detection services, either as a service (API) or downloadable database, which are surprisingly comprehensive. Disclaimer: I’ve run one since 2017. Years on, our primary data source is literally holding dozens of subscriptions to every commercial provider we can find, and enumerating the exit node IP addresses they use.

There are also other methods, like using zmap/zgrab to probe for servers that respond to VPN software handshakes, which can in theory be run against the entire IP space. (this also highlights non-commercial VPNs which are not generally the target of our detection, so we use this sparingly)

It will never cover every VPN or proxy in existence, but it gets pretty close.

Tangent: if you hold access to all VPN providers, have you thought about also releasing benchmarks for them? I would be interested in knowing which ones offer the best bandwidth / peering (ping).

There used to be a service like this, called Car2Go. Not autonomous, but more like how scooter/bike rentals work. It was fantastic, and in no way profitable.

There are still services like that. Miles, for example, or Bolt I think have cars, too.

You are suppressing free speech of fascists by doing that. Your speech might make them feel bad and free speech is defined by your willingness to defend fascists.

As an enemy to free speech, you wont be allowed in.

But that’s not apples to apples, a computer will generally need more ram to compete with a console.

The PS5 also has GDDR6 RAM, compared to the DDR5 in the link.

So instead of one proprietary app now you need two?

What's darker than dark?

You can also take a screenshot of your ticket. The passes are just for convenience.

I wonder if its like frontier where they hide the standardized mobile boarding pass behind a dark pattern?
addandsubtract · a month ago
So far, you can just download the boarding pass to apple/google wallet after checking in. Only dark patterns are in their booking process.

The alarm and the calendar can both alert you on a specific date and time. But like a bedside alarm clock, the iOS alarm is limited to a time in the next 24 hours.

On Android, why would you not use the calendar when you want to be alerted days from now?

addandsubtract · 2 months ago
Wat? Because a century old device can only set a repeating alarm, the 2025 $1k smartphone should, too?! I set so many one of alarms on my android weekly, I would be infuriated if I had to use the calendar for that.
