  • So that setup effectively gives you an all-ports available connection (except 22) from your mobile device and anything that connects through it, like a laptop? The exit node would be the VPS.

    Could I skip the home router and EoIP+VPN directly between mobile and VPS, for instance?

    I am in a situation (restrictive firewall on ethernet/wifi, prefer personal mobile connection but it’s cgnat or something equally crap) this could be very useful for me.

    FYI, two letter TLDs are country/region/jurisdiction specific. There’s an ISO standard for that.

    • .tv Tuvalu
    • .me Montenegro
    • .fm (Federation of) Micronesia

    Some countries append additional modifiers to classify their uses:

    • .uk United Kingdom
    • .co.uk Company

    Three or more are generic (traditional or new)

    • .com, .net, .org, …

    In some cases, Uncle Sam said “first!” and it stuck.

    • .edu Education (MURICA)
    • .mil Military (MURRICA)
    • .gov Government (MURRRICA)

    Just like what happens with Mali, what some silicon valley hipsters decide as a ‘fun’ acronym is just that, a fun thought. If the corresponding government decides to take away a specific domain, they probably can.




  • People in 90s and 2000s used to get informed before going online, as it used to be a big spending and commitment. Between all the tech-utopia hype you also got to hear about what to avoid and how to behave.

    Nowadays you only need a cheap smartphone and start scrolling through algorithm-fed content indefinitely. No need for technical knowledge because the company takes care of that. No need for an intro class, because who even bothers anymore?
