    Wow that is... Magnificent! I'm glad you de-dusted it but I'd be more worried about cables becoming disconnected while you're trying to clean it.

    Glad it worked out for you though! Fingers crossed it continues to work🤗

    FYI the PSU box with those black shielded power cables is meant to fit internally in the big hole at the top 🤣
    I usually use compressed air to clean the dust out of my cases. If you're feeling adventurous, you could slide that side panel off and attempt to re-home the PSU inside the case.👌🤣

    Likewise, I run/host/contribute to several public projects and typically get $0 unless someone feels like throwing $20 my way. Happens very rarely, though. I feel like most FOSS projects started like this, where the devs are just trying to "scratch thier own itch".

    Yeah you're not wrong, I used DDG without uBlock the other day and it's basically become Google that "doesn't track you". Which I think is the main thing going for them. I wish they'd use OSM or something that's actually not slow as fuck.

    Absolutely! Wireguard (for example) uses UDP 51820 (normally) which will mlre than likely be blocked, but that won't stop you from using something like cntlm to proxy it over an allowed port like 443/80. DPI or some intercepting proxies would likely still filter it.

    DDG AI chat is actually pretty decent, offers multiple options for free with no noticable limit; maps is dogshit agreed, still have to fall back to google, use uBlock and can remove the featured results on DDG.

    Good explanation, a note that most public WiFi will use client separation. Macca's, starbucks, airplanes etc you will only ever see your device and the gateway. (More for other people that are reading, I assume you know this 😄)

    It depends on his threat model and what he's trying to hide really. Public WiFi is fine, as long as you validate/check the SSL cert it's using is from your bank and is legitimate. Using public WiFi with a VPN is more secure as long as you trust your VPN provider. If he's asking these questions, then he's probably not doing banking though, and should ideally be using VPN+TOR or something similar.

    Yes a VPN will hide your IP address from the server you're connecting to. The VPN service will still see your IP and may log/record it. You also have to watch out for things like DNS leaks.
