Reading about reddit for me nowadays is like seeing a tech news article for something that doesn't concern me.

It doesn't feel really relevant anymore. I think that's a good thing given that I feel like I can find most of the content I used to go to reddit for on the fediverse. With higher quality even. People seem to be of more diverse options as well, which is great.

Im not sure I agree with that statement.

It's like saying using a computer means that any program on it belongs to the makers of the operating system because you need that to run it. Or every Java program was made by oracle because you need the JVM to run it.

VS Code is its own software (and service nowadays), and yes it builds on chromium in part. But doesn't make the idea, the actual application, i. e. what's on top of chromium or other associated service owned by someone else.

I do agree that many software devs and companies rely on Chromium and thus Google, often too much, and I don't think that's a good idea But they definitely retain ownership of the code and associated functionality on top.

Wireguard through gfw worked fine when I tried it. The other client did have a static IP and static Port tho, that probably helped

I think on windows you can set that in the network driver options irrc. Either in the nic configuration or the ip stack config. I've at least seen it while I was diagnosing network issues a few years back.

My brain once swapped the letters F and L in my head and I typed

iptables -F

Instead of -L.

The standard input policy was drop. It was a VPS and I didn't have access to the management panel. Fun times.
