  • I wouldn’t criticise the metaphor. I would ask why they ask this again and again. What has changed in the previous decade which justify that they don’t change what they request.

    I wouldn’t criticise the analogy because it’s easy to miss things. For example, the issue I have when their analogy is that because they can’t open the door of one house with a search warrant, they ask for the right to open all the doors, of all the city, anywhen, and this right may be abused. Of course this is far less acceptable so.




  • A safe access to my home infra/lab.

    From my experience, the latency can be neglected in comparison of the latency of the connection of a mobile.

    When the VPN has connexion issues, all the apps on my phone are waiting. Some reach timeout. But they recover all at once, without DNS issues, when the VPN comes back up.

    When I move from network to network, from private wifi to public wifi, from country to country, … I am know I can try hotspots without checking if it’s from a malevolent entity (private hacker, stupide enterprises (who log for whatever reason that I go on website they don’tlike (pro-abortion, gaming, …), or anything else). If the VPN is up, I can. If it is down, I can’t but there’s no risk for me, just momentary annoyance.







  • Reminds me of a French king who wanted to be equal: I forbid rich and poor to sleep under the bridges.

    It sounds fair but strangely it isn’t. Nowadays, you can’t avoid the Street. Nowadays in westen, the first thing an beggar needs to have a hope to have a house is a phone to access some free hot spots.

    Having a new account is not enough. With browser fingerprinting and IP address you can recognise most of the people.
