It’s called DNS tunneling it’s typically used for data exfiltration tactics, but it’s also great if you’re desperate to punch through even the toughest paid WiFi paywalls to Google something really quick slow because you fucked something up on your phone lmao

Piefed has gone from being rarely if ever even mentioned at all to, in just the last few days, being mentioned hundreds if not thousands of times a day in threads on virtually any topic, makes me highly suspicious.

You make interesting points, but for this specific thing, it almost certainly has to do with the .ee shutdown which was announced just a few days ago, apparently PieFed has fantastic comm transfer tooling so that’s why it’s probably been exploding in discussions since .ee has a number of large comms that are trying to figure out their next steps

Can confirm, used DNS proxying to bypass cruise ship WiFi paywall once. It worked, but god damn did it send me into dialup flashback lmao

I crossposted it to !dota2@lemmy.world

Because of .ml comms boycott

Prob a comm in the line of !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works , but expanded beyond just Tankies/Genocide deniers. Somewhere for people to post collected documentation, screenshots, modlog entries etc. and collaboration

but just handing it over isn’t really appropriate.

Well I would hope, if they were open to it, they would have internal discussions with the main mods and maybe some sort of vote amongst their user base and/or giving those who’d rather not time to delete their data before anything changes hands

Is transferring it to someone else in the cards? I have an LLC intended for my own future instance plans, but I’d be more than happy to take over .ee under it to prevent the loss of another good Lemmy-verse instance

.ml admins and Tankies: “something something THATS JUST WESTERN LIES something NK is actually THE GOOD GUYS something something ITS JUST TO KEEP OUT WESTERN PROPAGANDAAAAA”

Here’s a recap post from a few weeks ago

I wish there was Lemmy gold for these kinds of comments, so uh take this cookie instead: 🍪

I’m trying! Lmao

As was brought up in those threads, but it’s simply not good enough, it’s just paying for .ml with extra steps (e.g. through their pay/salary rather than directly funding hosting costs)

Oh yea I started donating all right…to PieFed (I don’t even have a PF account), .world and .cafe.

I won’t be giving a penny to them until I see some major changes in regards to .ml as so many people called for on every other version of the donation thread that wasn’t .ml
