Happy cake day kind stranger!

Good old Hamachi still exists and has Linux client you can use. It's free as long as you're not needing to play with more than 5 people.

Nice! I've downloaded it just in case and I'll probably throw it up on Radicle later unless someone beats me to it

If anyone ever digs up the source, hopefully they push it to something like https://radicle.xyz/ so it can't be taken down

Incredible things are happening

I edited my post for more clarification since I think I worded it badly. What I mean is that they force you to use their client (whether that be their web client, mobile app, or whatever else they have) unless you pay because they don't provide SMTP access with their free plan.

I understand why they do it, and it's not that I don't trust the clients they provide or whatever, I'm avoiding them because I wouldn't be able to use things like git-send-email which require you to have SMTP access.

I've tried making an account with them in the past and they never seemed to let me past the manual verification process. They also don't support SMTP (even on their paid plans) which is the same reason I'm avoiding Proton since I use git-send-email quite a bit and I'd like to be able to continue using Thunderbird as well.

Probably ships with OpenSSL and/or OpenSSH. Buying a cheap CH341A programmer off of Aliexpress is a lot of fun because you can actually dump the firmware from like 95% of these things with a $5 tool and poke around/reverse engineer them and do some fun things with that knowledge.

I'd really avoid Alienware at all costs. Their machines are super proprietary (meaning you can't upgrade/replace a lot of the components with off the shelf parts) and usually have really shitty airflow and cooling problems because of the inadequate cooling and horribly designed case they come in. I've directed a couple of friends to Build Redux, they'll build a machine for you for cost of parts + a $50 build fee + shipping and you can even save $150ish bucks by not having them install Windows for you so you can just install/pirate it yourself when you get it, experience was pretty good for both friends.

Ah, it's that time again, we're bringing SS7 and it's problems back into the spotlight baby! I don't have my fingers crossed that this will be solved anytime soon... I mean it's been in mainstream media every few years since like, what, 2006?
