Astrill, only VPN with a good track record in China where I happen to live.
Most others crap out after a few weeks or months, and never bother to fix their protocols.
Key Messages rocks. Comes with built-in badword filter and some other nifty config.
Not open source though.
He was also doing a PhD at the same time, and writing a dissertation is not exactly a small feat.
Exactly. And lifetime is just about 100 bucks, who cares. Sure it sounds like more than the casual $2 you throw at a random app to remove ads, but considering that I used Sync daily for ~12 years, it’s really just peanuts in the long run.
I’ve bought a bunch of seemingly cheaper apps and then used them 10 times over 2 years and they ended up discontinued, that’s like 20 cents per use.
I’d have racked up tens of thousands with Sync that way. Easily the most used app on my phone.
If it’s open source, the developer can’t monetize it. Everyone will just be able to remove ads and compile it from scratch.
FOSS is all fine and dandy, unless being a developer for a popular service (or app) is your sole source of income.
Sync is back. !syncforlemmy@lemmy.world, currently in closed alpha, public beta only days away.
Naja eine Fusion aus askagerman und Germany irgendwo. Ich hab so richtig nie verstanden, wo der Split herkam.
Und sorry für die späte Antwort, ich benutze normalerweise einen anderen Account, wollte nur mit einem lokalen die Community bei feddit registrieren.
14 years primary account, 11 years alt. Mod in several >1 million communities.
Deleted everything, replaced my comments (>15k total) and posts (>500, including announcements on subs moderated) with a message stating my reasons, and then deleted both accounts. Plus 4 alts I sparsely used, between 3-8 years old.
Those poor trees.
Finally managed to add it to the sidebar. You’re a champ!
I’ve been trying to edit it with my primary account on another instance (only set this one up because I wanted the community on the German instance) and it’s crashing. Apparently there is a known bug with lemmy 0.17.4 and sidebar editing by a foreign-instance-mod.
Wir haben noch nicht mal ein offizielles Deutschverbot hier ;-)
Yeah, they have 3 years starting from the end of the current year. Plenty of time.
I’m not much of a developer unfortunately, and there’s no automod right here… Nor is there a wiki system. But I’m sure that will come over time. Until then we’ll just have to make do with an off-site wiki somehwere.
They don’t allow hyphens in usernames, so I had to ditch the life ;-)
Care to join the mod team?
Nah they identify the protocol handshake and block it altogether, so you need to find a VPN with a proprietary protocol that keeps updating.
It’s probably a modified openvpn with some package obfuscation, but works surprisingly well.
