URnetwork is another distributed VPN.

Unlike Deeper, it doesn't use hardware - instead, running on your phone or your computer.

It does seem that the exit notes are less commonly residential, but you do get a bunch of traffic for free each month.

When I am laid, am laid in earth, May my wrongs create
No trouble, no trouble in thy breast;
Remember me, remember me, but ah! forget my fate.

Not sure how I missed it, but I’ve found the catch with the Loop devices. They operate as network status probes for upstream operators.

I don’t particularly have a problem with that. But THERE’s the money.

It only happens about once a month and only earns me about £1-2 when it does, but the real value of making a sale on RedBubble is that it makes me grin.

Someone liked my dumb jokes enough to lay money on them. It's a good feel.

are they even trying any more

Oh fuck YOU Limitless. Seems there's no parallel on the market. Plaud is closest but is manually controlled recording and has no API or MCP.

You got acquired by Meta and cut service overnight, and now I'm left without a tool which made my life SO much easier.

Fuck you. I'll fucking build one then.

Interesting. So the Loop's mobile connectivity is definitely on Three. Confirmed that.

I just signed up for their eSIM product too (two months free, why not). That, on the other hand. Is Vodafone.

Huh. Nifty. EE now gives you a fully routable IPv6 address.

Once we all dunked on furries. Now we look back on it cringing, because trans furry hackers in programmer socks and nekomimi mind-reading cat ears are the best allies we've ever had.

Big up the trans furry hacker collective. I'm only two of those things. But support your local disaster furry.

The Right's pet cause always looks like a pound shop Patrick Bateman.

Enoch Burke has "engaged in a strategy of confrontation, verbal aggression and bullying" (Justice Cregan). He won't stop trespassing on school grounds.

And they try to sell him to you as a political prisoner against pronouns.

Oh, Warp (https://warp.dev). I do love you. Your claim of being a 'development environment' fucks me off a bit, but you're a superb terminal.

Your AI integration is a real help. Just one stumbling block.

Your support for remote MCPs AIN'T SHIT.

I mean the problem's fixed with mcp-remote. But […]

This fucking potato. She doesn't even argue against it. Just rambles about how people having ~~labels~~ is... destroying Western civilisation somehow?

"Wes Streeting must stand up to the ADHD activists" is literally the only cogent argument she farts out onto paper. The title […]

Give me shit about vibe coding as much as you like, but you absolutely can't match modern LLMs' ability to build data analysis tooling around the specific data itself.

Obviously the code is throwaway when done. But that's what LLM code allows. Domain-specific code you can throw away afterward.

Is there a better NuWho double whammy than Heaven Sent / Hell Bent?

Science says no. Though Extremis / The Lie of the Land is close.

This Loop stuff is fascinating. Like, I have done my due diligence. I can't speak to whether functionality will be disabled later, but I can certainly say that ordering one won't bite you in the arse. But people refuse to hear that. I'd probably be the same. There has to be a catch. And people […]

The Loop device has turned up after two days (https://www.loopdl.co.uk).

It's a full-on Android 15 device. In pretty much every way, it's a phone, with a cracking speaker. And I have confirmed. The pricing is for real. You can cancel the £25/mo mobile plan immediately without paying it once […]

Uh. So. The Loop. A gadget.

A gadget which is literally £1. Comes with an unlimited data plan you can cancel.

I have been through checkout and this is legit.

As brave loss leaders go...

Anthropic acquiring Bun: did not see that coming. But as long as they don't dick with it, has to be a good thing. Have used Bun for a year or two now and have never looked back.

SONOS v1 (okay it's old, but just wait) and Samba is a fucking nightmare.

You have to allow SMBv1. That's THIRTY TWO YEARS OLD. 32 YEARS.

Fucking thing is running kernel Linux 2.4.22-rincon - a 22 year old kernel.

Absolutely wild.
