Wow I had no idea that this existed for such a long time. I've clearly been living under a rock... 😅

Basically the title. Maybe this is old news, but I didn't know about this trick until recently. Have fun, use responsibly :)

Seconding AdGuard. Also, there’s no need to pay, the free tier is more than sufficient. Links for convenience:

gluetun bundles a control server on port 8000 which you can query for the port number (don't worry about openvpn being in the url path, it still works with Wireguard). In my bash script (running on the host system), I use curl to retrieve the forwarded port number and then do a POST with that data to the API of my qbt client which is running in another container on port 8080.

There’s a reason why most providers don’t allow that feature anymore

Yes, cheese pizza

It’s said that port forwarding is a security risk

Says who? Assuming a fully patched system/client and a properly configured firewall/network, I'd love to hear more about these "risks".

Also, qBitTorrent works just fine without it.

Only if you don't care about seeding

Based. I use gluetun with qbt and ProtonVPN (with port forwarding). Despite this being a tricky config, it was still pretty easy to setup. Can share bash scripts if anyone is interested.

I’m personally a big fan of bore. It’s easy to setup/use and there’s a free public instance operated by the developer.

Here's a link to the PR for anyone who's interested

Allegedly Tim Cook does the same thing. Can't imagine what he'd be doing 16h a day, but I've heard he's almost always at Apple Park

Discovered this gem recently. It's not optimized for newer phones (black bars on top and bottom of screen), but it's the most creative take I've ever seen on the brick breaker genre

Just updated to the latest iOS (17.4.1) and it (un)fortunately does not work 🥲

Glad to see progress on this topic. Pretty sure microplastics will be our generation’s lead.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I treat my phone like an old school digital camera. I routinely use Image Capture to export my photos/videos to my computer and/or external HDD. I've got a 256GB phone, but I'm never using more than 1/5 of its storage space at any given time

Assuming you’re referring to Apple Store credit, I’ve run into this exact scenario before in a somewhat related way. Accidentally claimed a gift card I meant to send to someone else (be careful with that redeem button in the email lol, it’ll instantly apply the balance to your account with one click, so don’t fat finger it like me 🥲). Apple support wouldn’t (or couldn’t) undo that action. In other words, it’s a one way street. Once the credits enter your account, they can’t be used anywhere other than the Apple Store/icloud/App Store/etc
