  • Mmm do you know Linux containers? Like Docker containers, for example?

    You need to understand Linux namespace and Linux containers to understand this trick. It isn’t super advanced to be honest, just a Linux feature that is very useful.

    It can be overwhelming if you haven’t worked with containers before: https://youtu.be/fTcit7F5Bcg?si=rQlq0mJyapIpOlx8

    Basically you can have multiple “network stacks” in the same machine, and they are isolated. By network stacks I mean things like the netfilter rules and the routing rules.

    So, if you deploy a VPN inside a network namespace that isn’t the host’s namespace, the host won’t route the traffic to the VPN by default. Only the processes that are attached to that network namespace will process the network packets with the netfilter and routing rules of that namespace. So, if you only attach the Firefox process to the network namespace of the VPN, only the traffic generated by that process will go through the tunnel.



  • Ah ok, as I said, “everything that is left wing is good and paradise. Everything right wing is pure evil”.

    In a left-wing state the state always holds the power… So once that state becomes corrupted and uses that power to keep all workers equally poor, then it is suddenly right wing? Show me what were the capitalist principles in the Soviet Union? Was there a free market, private incentive, private property, competition, minimal state intervention, entrepreneurship, individual rights and freedoms? NOOO THERE WEREN’T. It wasn’t a right-wing state.

    You guys are insane. Lemmy became an echo chamber for your delusions. It’s really sad to see people this radicalized.

    A dictator is a dictator, who the fuck cares if they are right or left wing? A racist is a racist. A murderer is a murderer. They can be found in any side of the political spectrum, but you’re too biased to believe the left can be corrupted… You are too blinded by what is right and what is left and are totally unable to see there can be combinations of ideologies.

    You say dictators are right wing because they don’t follow some left-wing principles? Then I could argue that all dictators are left-wing because by definition the right strives to minimize government controls, and a dictatorship is authoritarian, which goes against right-wing policies… But I’m done arguing. This is my last Lemmy comment. You are so blinded by the left vs right argument you can’t see beyond that. This degree of fanatism can’t be healthy, I don’t want to become radicalized like you people. This self imposed blindness is sad and pathetic. Good bye.


  • It is. Just like fascism, these are terms associated with the right-wing. But that’s not my point… My point is that whatever affiliation the right or left had in the past does not necessarily represent the current affiliations. The fact that the US right-wing is turning to white supremacy is unrelated to Nazis being right wing. That is just a reflection of their systemic racism.

    What I’m saying is that it is irrelevant if Republicans are trying to associate the left with Nazis, because even if such association existed, it is not a valid argument to say that the left today is ruled by Nazis, or that the right can’t behave like Nazis. That’s just a fallacy, the same fallacy that they use to point out that voting left will turn us into North Korea or an authoritarian left-wing dictatorship.

    I can’t believe people aren’t getting this. It’s like they don’t understand I’m actually pro-left with this argument, somehow they think I’m protecting Nazis and Republicans because I’m not shouting “REPUBLICANS BAD!”

    Going back and pointing out how Nazis were right-wing is something that will bite the left in the ass because there are plenty of examples of the left turning into shit too. So instead of comparing with past examples, just analyze their current positions. Is the right currently behaving like Nazis? Yes. Do you need WWII Nazis to be right wing for this to be a fact? No. So even if they convince people that Nazis were left wing, how does that disprove that RIGHT NOW they are the racists and white supremacists?

    I’m just saying, don’t play their games.
