I use ASus AC-68U with Asus Merlin. If read I cannot use OpenWRT with it due to broadcom, ist it right?
I used DD-WRT before and it was very unstable, so I Stuck to merlin. The problem is that theres no PF firewall on it.
Whats your recommendation to me? To try dd-wrt again on asus, or keep on asus merlin?
Im having real issues understanding Main feed vs Inbox in #gossip.
Whats is the difference between them, and whats the meaning of the switch "Replies and DM and "everything" on the screen?
Why people that I follow dont appear on my Main Feed, just when I open their profile?
How can I see only the topics started directly by people I follow, ignoring when they are just replyings?
On top of that, sometimes I dont see peoples messages, so I think theres a bug, but then the messages appear. It would be nice to make it clear that messages are still being loaded
npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c It would be good to make some documentation explaining all of the things above, maybe a "how to" tutorial, with the following:
-How to see all posts initiated by the people I follow in one screen, with all of them inside?
-How to see their replies to other topics
-How do I know if gossip found no messages of a person, or if it is still loading them?
Use Farside.link/nitter/ to get automatically to a working instance. Use "redirector" plugin to automatically switch to #farside
#nitter #twitter
And in Amethyst you can block Keywords like btc and Bitcoin. They get very annoying

One of our readers asked “Is it okay to use GL.inet routers?”
For those of you unfamiliar, these are tiny “micro” travel routers that fit in the palm of your hand with a VPN/Tor toggle switch on them. Most Glinet routers are smaller that your phone. And my answer is that it depends what the Gl.inet router is being used for.
If it’s INSIDE your home as a replacement for a home router, then NO, because it’s not really open source. Glinet’s software is based on OpenWRT, but they modified it and aren’t releasing the real deal. So in this case, there would be no benefit to not using the REAL OpenWRT (or DD-WRT) on a larger router for WiFi. However, I trust Glinet way more than an ISP’s router, so don’t let perfection scare you into nothing.
Another disadvantage of Glinet is that both VPNs and Tor are both going to be much slower than the same VPN/Tor on a computer, enterprise firewall, or home router. This is because this tiny travel router has barely any processing power compared to a PC or larger full sized router. Just for an example, my 100 mbp/s home internet connection was ordinarily reduced to roughly 75 with a VPN on my desktop PC. But when I used Glinet’s WireGuard, it got cut down to roughly 35 with the same VPN and same city and under 25 on Glinet’s OpenVPN. That’s why even ignoring the open source issue, I wouldn’t use it in your home.
If you’re using it OUTSIDE your home to connect to a USB modem or some type of insecure thing, then its far better than an ISP hotspot or not having the protection of a firewall between your phone and the foreign router or cell tower. So in this case, YES it is good. But try to encrypt the traffic on your phone first, so it’s only passing through Glinet as jibberish. So for example Tor on your phone, VPN on Glinet, so the ISP doesn’t think you’re using Tor.
All routers have a WAN (whole internet) and a LAN (local area network) port. The traffic coming out the WAN is considered more hostile and harder to hack. The Local traffic or LAN, gets it’s DNS or domain names from the router’s authority. So having your phone trust a foreign router or cellphone tower directly is very dangerous IF you’re an active hack target. If you’re just looking at cat memes whatever. But if you’re a journalist in an oppressive country, do not ever touch a hostile LAN. Glinet is tiny so you can use it for a trusted LAN on the go.
Another advantage of Glinet is you can easily spoof your MAC address via mobile on the go. Now Androids by default do this automatically, so you might say “who cares”. But one cool thing about this is you can get past hotel, airport, coffee shop, and mall WiFi captchas on a burner phone with no valuable data, when normally these captchas require you to turn OFF any VPN to complete. Spoof that burner phone’s MAC to the Glinet. And then get on your real phone now behind Glinet’s firewall. This avoids you having to take down a VPN and trust DNS from a hostile LAN on a high risk sensitive device, all for a stupid captcha.
Yet another perk of Glinet is evading Tor bans on mobile, for tyranny apps such as Telegram. Telegram doesn’t outright ban Tor, but they’ll discriminate with sending the registration SMS, and if people don’t reply to you, then they’ll arbitrarily ban. You should try to avoid Telegram, but if you have to use it then you can urinate on Telegram’s censorship by putting Tor on the Glinet router and then a new VPN on your phone. Make sure to use a new VPN that you’ve never had see your real IP or there is no purpose.
Just remember that when you consider anything, it should be compared to the alternatives.
Glinet is based on OpenWRT, and the real open source OpenWRT on a home router can do Tor, will be faster for Tor, and is fully open source. You can just copy and paste commands from the OpenWRT Tor guide here:
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/tor/client
But you will need to know enough Linux to even get to SSH and basic setup for copy-paste.
Rasberry Pi is the #1 competitor. OpenWRT can be put on a Rasberry Pi using a USB modem, which would be more trusted and private than Glinet. But an OpenWRT Pi would be a serious pain for a new user to setup compared to just getting Glinet and works out of the box.
Glinet’s website uses tyranny providers such as China’s Tencent for support emails, Amazon web host, and Cloudflare. But since these routers sell on Amazon, so you can get it for Monero anonymously using AnonShop.app. And then rather than having your support email go to China’s state level surveillance company Tencent, you can reach out to us at Simplified Privacy via your favorite encrypted messenger for $30/hr and we can help you set anything up remotely (Glinet vpn configs, openWRT rasberry pis, OPNsense, pfsense).
We are NOT sponsored by GLinet. They offer it to influencers. We thought about it, but then it would then bias our opinions. So to keep us independent, if you value our work, please consider some zaps =)
What's a home router you recommend?
#reddit #foss #freedom #youtube #ads #tracking #farside #mozilla #firefox #chrome #chromium #invidious
How to redirect any service to it's open source version: use Farside.
Example:
For Reddit:
https://farside.link/libreddit/r/popular
For YouTube:
https://farside.link/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
Farside will redirect it to a currently open source online instance (other tools forget the online requirement).
You can use it with the "Redirector" add on so you don't have to type anything.
Welcome to NOSTR!
Good!!

1/ The difference with my plan is each state will be within it's own bloc, & not separated like the West Bank & the Gaza strip is today.
With a huge wall dividing the two countries, neither state will have to interact with the other. Hence peace. But will the #Jews cede an inch of land for peace? 🤔
So now we arrive at Jerusalem, which was 92% #Palestinian in 1916, & which you now claim the "Occupiers" (UN resolution term) will refuse to cede an inch.
Israel should be given land proportional to it's legal Jewish population before 1948.
Or the area corresponding to privately owned Jewish land at the time
And legal is tricky because England was coloning Palestine and their colonization status being legal or not is a other debate.
Wow, that's a 100 civilians per "terrorist"!
Horrible rate. It means Israel cannot discriminate between civilians and Hamas
Iran's Khamenei calls on Muslim nations to block shipping to Israel https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2023/12/23/Iran-Khamenei-calls-Muslim-nations-block-shipping-Israel/7781703344601/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
Who is this asshole Khameini to tell anyone anything. The guy kills his own people. He has not moral authority.
That being said, free Palestine!
Can you post a link to your source?
While I see the syntax of what you say, what is it's semantics?
I can only agree or disagree with this claim if it comes with the assumed definition of Zionism and anti semitic, specially as there are many definitions of anti semitic.
I remember seeing an article written in Times of Israel by
Moshe Mordechai van Zuiden in which he says that thinking of Jews as equals to the rest of humanity is anti semitic, because it would mean denying their role as the selected people of God. I can't agree with him.
It seems they have taken the article down, but here's the link:
Another definition of anti semitism is this the IHRA definition, made by Israeli lobby.
As I remember that Germans coined definitions of being anti-german to say that protecting Jews was anti German, I tend not to trust big poweful governments defining what is to be against their people.
See more the American Civil Liberties Union on this topic:
https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/aclu-statement-senate-introduction-anti-semitism-awareness-act
Moving on from the syntax vs semantics topic, I have read some books on Constitutional Law and General Theory of State, and found very clarifying to read that a State is defined by three distinct elements:
a) a People
b) a Territory
c) a government with power to remain sovereign by acting inwards and outwards of the territory.
I agree that being anti-Israel, if Israel is defined to be it's people as in the Bible, is anti semitic, but being against the politicians of Israeli State (government) is not the same as being against it's people.
I agree that Israel (as people and State) should exist, but the territory has to be proportionate to the amount of Jewish people living on the region legally just before the creation of the State (government) of Israel.
The definition of "legally" get difficult in practice if I consider the British colonial power at the time being legal or not.
Moreover, which is the way you consider proper to criticize actions of politicians in Israel? Only in a democracy it's possible to criticize it's politicians and governments. If not, that's not a democracy

The only thing Muslims submit to is God, so Israel will not get anyone submitting to them
One way to predict the future is to look at people with a lot of money on the line. The cost of war insurance for ships transitting the Red Sea is currently about 0.5%, but has recently doubled. I'd say the risk of imminent war (during a ship transit time) is still, on an absolute basis, quite low. https://www.lloydslist.com/LL1147660/Red-Sea-war-risk-rates-still-rising-after-doubling-in-past-week
Man, everything you say is so damn clever and logic!!
Thanks for the distinction between genocide and ethnic cleansing.
I looked into UNs Definition of both. While There's a clear definition of genocíde there, there's no clear definition of ethic cleansing. The examples given give me the impression that genocide is ethnic cleansing on steroids.
