Cool map! Do you have a source? Curious if they’ve done other countries.

What’s the privacy criteria you are thinking about?

A brief technical summary from iMAP reveals what happens when users attempt to access sites using Cloudflare and Google DNS.

• On Maxis, DNS queries to Google Public DNS (8.8.8.8) servers are being automatically redirected to Maxis ISP DNS Servers;

**

• On Time, DNS queries to both Google Public DNS (8.8.8.8) and Cloudflare Public DNS (1.1.1.1) are being automatically redirected to Time ISP DNS servers.

“Instead of the intended Google and Cloudflare servers, users are being served results from ISP DNS servers. In addition to MCMC blocked websites, other addresses returned from ISP DNS servers can also differ from those returned by Google and Cloudflare,” iMAP warns.

…

"Users that are affected, can configure their browser settings to enable DNS over HTTPS to secure their DNS lookups by using direct encrypted connection to private or public trusted DNS servers. This will also bypass transparent DNS proxy interference and provide warning of interference,” iMAP concludes.

Essentially Malaysia law required ISP to drop DNS entries for some sites, local users started using public DNS. ISP started redirecting public DNS requests, and local users started using DNS over HTTPS.

The pirate wars continue in their arms races.

What in the world are they digging for?

I did a quick search and they don’t make it easy. Peter Lowe’s ad and tracking server blocklist is the only one I found. EasyList doesn’t seem to have a donation link, nor Dan Pollock at someonewhocares.org. Also worth noting that UBO doesn’t take donations. You could always subscribe to AdGuard, but that’s mixed.

The DDOS attack or the lawsuits?

Especially if it includes any YT plugins beyond redfin.

Seconded

Jellyfin is great. Worth the time and effort to get it setup. Infuse is worth the money as an AppleTv frontend too.

You will definitely need toimprove your lan speed though. I’drecommende getting off WiFi for as much of the media as you can. If not that, put in triband WiFi connection and wire them in if possible. Mesh will work, but bring your speed down.

Dumb question for the Lemmy lawyers, if enough redditors joined could a class action lawsuit be filed to be paid for their content… Or is that so outside of the TOS that it’s not worth considering?

In technical terms you mean doing an incremental or differential back up to a local network storage location, correct?

This alongside using Backblaze is what I would suggest assuming you are thinking online. Cheap and reliable, also relatively easy via a cron job. https://help.backblaze.com/hc/en-us/articles/1260804565710-Quickstart-Guide-for-Rclone-and-B2-Cloud-Storage

Deezer for one. Doesn’t have quite the same amount of music, but I don’t seem to have the issue with travel considering I am literally away for half the year.

Many others though.

Interesting, but I wonder if the car companies have any reason to reply? Be it legal, social, or fiduciary?
