My mistake, thanks for correcting me.

They dropped shadowsocks support and now mostly standard protocols like the rest. Plus logging activity like supervpn. Bro advice: Skip it.

Thanks for sharing!

From an initial look it seems like a reseller, I guess it will require identification + has some restrictions. I run some trading bots so that's out for sure.

I meant AlexHost, if you find something with similar specs and pricing I would love to jump to it. AlexHost treats customer like garbage. Plus, only use shared instances, dedicated instances are terrible (terrible internet speed and host performance) check TrustPilot.

Regarding residential proxy, it will be okay, 1usd per GB in packetstream.

For VPS, I use AlexHost as they dont require id, plus crypto payments (I wish I could use something else, capsul.org is overpriced and much lower quality)

I ended up self hosting my own in a privacy-friendly low-cost VPS after trying everything in some censorship heavy locations (SuperVPN, NordVPN, Mullvad, Surfshark, Frog{something}VPN ...) & rotating the address from time to time (I using a domain name so I don't have to change all the clients). My private one uses whatever new obfs protocol pops up and some other things to make fingerprinting very hard. Combining this with residential proxies & TOR+private bridges for browsing works like a charm EVERYWHERE.

Commercial VPNs all fail because they use standard protocols and are very easy to fingerprint if you try enough.

It has its issues but so far the most reasonable.

(If you are in a censorship heavy area, go with something else, Mullvad relies on standard protocols that are easy to inspect and shut down)

Why companies/HR get so pissed when they are rejected by the candidate? shouldn't they be calm like us and not take it personally like they say? in c/cs_career_questions@programming.dev
[–] idriss@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

Kinda funny if this is what happens 🤣

The parallel for the candidate is, skip a bunch of opportunities to focus on the one you like the most then get rejected.

Why companies/HR get so pissed when they are rejected by the candidate? shouldn't they be calm like us and not take it personally like they say? (lemm.ee)
 

I got rejected a gazillion times in my career and I still get rejected left and right.

However the moment I express my lack of interest advanced in the position, I get bombarded by emails and requests for meeting..

This happened to me twice:

  1. A few years ago. I passed all the stages, the position included relocation, I missed one thing in my negotiation: the taxes in the new place are really high. I emailed them explaining my position, not interested anymore because of taxes.. Then I start getting requests to set up meetings, and attempt to get me to explain to answer a long list of questions.. I tried to be nice and helpful but it seems people lost their temper already (started getting "unprofessional" emails)

  2. More recently, I passed the first few stages, the last stage seemed too frustrating and slow so I gave up. All of the sudden, things changed again and everyone is trying to understand more in detail...

Why are we expected to eat rejections and not take it personally but they can't take their own advice?

thanks for saying it louder!

Some people want wealth because it means power over others. Some people want wealth because it means they can minimize interactions with others. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world
[–] idriss@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

I kinda don't fit in both. I need reasonable steady income/wealth (as soon as it covers food, a car, an apartment, gym, some clothes, ... for me and some relatives) so I can do other stuff.

This will be centered around volunteering in different ways (open source, research, ...) without fearing going homeless the moment I disagree with someone.

Given my low cost geo location, I am closer to this than ever.

(I took the last summary part only for obvious reasons)

Result is hilarious but I couldn't agree more. Here's the prompt:

what's your overall view of this project? what major design flaws do you see or good design decisions you like? be brutal, reality check time

edit: clarification before you guys jump me, the company paid for agentic editing to give it a shot and this is the first thing I asked

Gossip: Trigger a webhook from an email (odysee.com)
 

TLDR

Create an email mapped to your webhook, the webhook will be called when an email will be received. It reacts instantly to emails. Check out the 1min demo in odysee

Long Story

I tried to share this previously in Reddit & HN but got 0 attention. I was hoping I could get some feedback here.

When I created this, I envisaged at least two use cases:

  1. (main one for my workplace) Plug the generated email(s) into the monitoring system to create tickets in the project management software you are using when an alert is triggered
  2. (for open source projects) Embed/Share the generated email with your users and have the email bug reports transformed into gitlab/gitea/github issues
  3. (it could serve as a starting point for an open source business automation software)

This is in a very early stage, I am more than open to feature requests. I have have a bunch of improvements planned but would like to see if there's some interest first.

The project source is in gitea.v3m.net which is not public, I am open to creating a public mirror in your favorite public place (gitlab.com, github.com, ...).

I am also open to having the current instance serving right from your open source subdomain for those interested.
