  • Yeah you know what? Fuck it. Maybe I will sit my ass down all day and not give a fuck at all. You know I just got back from a trip to Mexico and it was quite amazing not having to think about all the fucking political drivel that I do everyday here living in this hell hole, but I like to be informed.

    I’m planning to protest on Saturday but maybe I won’t because even the liberals here curb stomp their allies for not doing enough.

    Fuck Trump, fuck you and most of all: fuck the USA.





  • This is one of those things that if you really want to do it, you’ll have to live with the consequences.

    I’m an American that VPNs everything first to my VPS then down a double hop commercial VPN tunnel that finally exits in Switzerland. DNS traffic also travels over that VPN tunnel so you’ll rightly guess that my DNS is rather slow too.

    What I do is I run a resolver on the VPS (physically near me) that aggressively prefetches commonly queried DNS records. After years of using Unbound I found Blocky to be much, much faster (especially with huge blocklists). It’s to the point now where sure, it’s slower than a “normal” internet connection but it doesn’t feel slow to me anymore.
