The desire path is proving its resilience in c/[email protected]

[–] fedev 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Welcome to Southeast Asia! In some countries here road planning is an afterthought. Pedestrian or cyclist access is optional.

I've seen it a few times, both of the developers do better planning on their side (not great, just better) but when it comes to connecting to a neighboring area, not such a great job.

This desire path is right in the middle, so without it, it's a 7km journey left or right from where the picture was taken to the other side.

There are plans for a road about 100m away but funny enough, one side belongs to a township developer and the other part to another. The 2 parts do not meet. One side is complete (up to their side of the project) and the other has been blocked with a construction hoarding for the past 2 years.

With the project not seeing completion anytime soon, people started to find their own ways around it.

Limited series have become my new go-to with shows in c/[email protected]

Limited series as well. Otherwise, I wait for a few seasons before watching and before I do, I check online to see if they were cancelled.

I reached out to them, made a case about it. I'll post an update here once I hear from them.

But yes, it's 7km so people walking and cycling are pushing through.

It's not just a desire path but also a shortcut that saves you 7km. They are trying to block it but it's coming back on the side.

Edit: Update, how it's going...

Is there a way to automatically take a btrfs snapshot prior to upgrading? in c/[email protected]

[–] fedev 2 points 1 month ago

I use snapper. It takes snapshots not only triggered by pacman hooks but also on an interval or manually.

DNS Redirection and Censorship Concerns (www.malaymail.com)

submitted 5 months ago by fedev to c/malaysia

I've encountered a significant issue with my DNS resolution due to what appears to be a mandated DNS redirection implemented by my ISP. Despite configuring Quad9 as my upstream DNS server, queries were not reaching the intended endpoints. This behavior persisted even after verifying the correct IP addresses.

While I understand the potential rationale behind such a policy, the lack of transparency and communication from my ISP is deeply concerning. The claim that this redirection will enhance security is questionable, as it could inadvertently introduce vulnerabilities or compromise privacy. Furthermore, it raises red flags about potential government censorship efforts.

To mitigate these risks, I strongly recommend employing DNS over TLS (DoT) or DNS over HTTPS (DoH) protocols. These methods can help bypass the redirection and ensure your DNS queries remain private. If these options are not feasible, consider using a VPN service, such as Cloudflare's Warp.

Maxis, sent last month an SMS saying they will block SMSs with URLs and then, after the block has taken effect, they are sending me an SMS with URL which doesn't get blocked because it is conveniently theirs.

They'd be doing me a favor if they blocked those too!

PAS constantly tells people that the changes they suggest will not affect non Muslims and they expect the population to believe them.
