I'll have to test that, I have 16C/32T so I'll try dropping my compiles down and see if I do get diminishing returns. Never really considered that. Also I do not use CCache, I'll have to check it out though because it does sound really useful.

The IP suite is not nearly as neatly layered as OSI was and the OSI model doesn't neatly fit the IP suite since it wasn't actually designed for IP at all. In the IP suite layers 5 and 6 basically don't exist in the OSI sense, TCP handles things that are part of both layers 4 and 5 in the model despite being a single protocol, etc. The OSI model is often considered obselete as it just doesn't actually fit the IP world all that well but it's been around so long and does have uses in certain situations that it tends to stick around.

No idea, I use mercurial mostly

What does the ChromeOS of Linux even mean? ChromeOS is already Linux

I have a friend who won't leave windows because of League...in fact when we work on projects together I often have symlinks in my repo and he won't even turn on developer mode to deal with them because it means if he wants to play league he has to restart his computer since it breaks the anti-cheat...so I have to make sure to desymlinkify any repo I expect him to clone...it's cursed how much of a hold a stupid game can have.

That makes more sense and is...even worse tbh because that's actually enforceable and so obvious I don't know how I missed it. That would also probably impact Tor since those IPs are already heavily reputation damaged. The stuff governments have been pulling recently is just insane

You good sir underestimate the stupidity of courts

😭😭😭😭

So what do you propose? Just not using a VPN? If you're that worried you can run a second public VPN on top of your private one. The point of the private one is to avoid ISPs outright blocking known major providers.

C++, ew, no thanks, also where is C??

If a company I have a paid account with asked me to verify my age they'd lose my subscription so fast their head would spin. Ultimately I'm just one person but if enough people feel the same way it could be a deterrent but in the grand scheme of things there probably aren't enough of us

As apex32 pointed out, it isn't about logging, it's about your ISP either ratting you out or outright blocking the domains and IP blocks of major providers and that's why I said you can setup your own. Ofc even hosting one yourself your ISP can probably still determine you're using a VPN through traffic analysis even if you're using TCP 443 to blend in but it makes it harder.
