lol, this Urban VPN addon was available for Firefox too but got removed at some point. https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1jb4ura/what_happe...

Thanks, the last fetched page on archive.org is from 2025-01-26 [1], removed after this date and before 2025-02-13. 155,477 users at the moment, 1 star reviews were mostly about not working. It's interesting that the developers didn't care to remove the button directing to the ff add-on page at least several months after the removal. Maybe was some kind of PR compromise, they probably thought that listing it with linking to a broken page was better than not listing at all.

A review page [2] mentions that this add-on is a peer-to-peer vpn, not having its own dedicated servers that already makes it suspicious.

weird, the addon (for firefox) still works btw. can connect to china and get datacenter IPs..

I seem to be able to access it just fine via ProtonVPN's Japan region tho.

I was also able to load it from Japan for the first time.

In weeks before, when the topic came up elsewhere, I had to use one of my tailscale exit nodes elsewhere.

It wouldn't work from Japan. Not from home, not from office, not from phone network either.

isn't uefi used for all the modern qcom devices..?

Yes it is. It can be hard to spot if you don’t know it’s there though.

For the N900, Maemo Leste <https://maemo-leste.github.io/> would be a good choice, if not even better.

Nice, I still have my N900 but my provider here (Swisscom Switzerland) is killing 3G by the end of the year...

I wonder if there's some sort of GSM hotspot device where it connects to 4G/5G networks, but creates a small localised 2G/3G cell for older phones. Kind of like how we have mobile hotspot devices, but instead of (or addition to) creating a WiF hotspot, they provide 2G/3G...

I bet a Stingray could do that. Have any cop friends?

windhawk patches stuff in memory, so the changes won't remain if you just disable its service and reboot

I run archiveteam warrior docker containers on freebsd using podman, it just works as well as it does on linux

how do you manage the archive? I mean the file hierarchy structures etc. i started archiving youtube videos recently, now saving descriptions and other metadatas too, but simply having them all in one directory doesn't seem to be a good idea.

seems like a glitch? it doesn't even seem like chinese translations are available for that specific page.

chinese phones usually don't have gapps installed, but many of them also have their bootloader locked and not unlockable.
