@Greylinux @jonah there's probably a nunber of guides out there, but I've just learned things over the years... It's actually how I used to test remote client's internet connections.
Anyway, what you'd do is have a basic, cheap, VPS from any provider and country you desire and set it up for SSH access, and I think it's "AllowTcpForwarding yes" that needs to be set in sshd_config.
Then you'd connect to it with your client machine with the-D $portparameter, i.e.ssh -D 3080 $server
Then in your web browser, you'd set up the proxy settings under SOCKS to your loopback address and the port specified i.e. SOCKS: 127.0.0.1 3080.
And that's it, any traffic from that browser will go through your loopback, to the SSH server, then off to the internet. I believe there's an option of sending DNS requests that way too in the web browser. You do need to leave the SSH session open, for obvious reasons.
Of course, only the traffic from the web browser will use this route, so you'd need to set it up in different applications' proxy config if you want them to use it too.Obviously, care should be taken to secure the ssh endpoint as much as possible, either through blocklistd, fail2ban, etc. or just allowing connections via a specific IP address
@paul @Greylinux @jonah beat me to it

@utf_7 @aral @jonah Mankind is headed (due to the will of the powers that be) to some dramatic shift of things. I hope this whole thing won't be the least of our worries. As always, bad times for the ordinary people. On the US front (and as a lesson to the whole wolrd that still has some form of elections) be careful what you vote and for those who don't... tell us what you think about your mantra "things can't get worse" or "nothing changes".

Next up will be a VPN ban. Many tech-y people will see that and think “lol yeah well that’s not going to stop *me* from using a VPN”
A VPN ban isn’t really meant stop you from using one. It means when they catch you doing so, they’ll use the fact you’re using this harmless technology itself as a *pretense* to lock you up without needing to do any “hard work” (i.e. an investigator’s job) like actually confirming whether you committed a real crime.
Don’t think you won’t be impacted just because you know how to outsmart an ISP filter! This is not a plan to protect children or stop you from consuming adult media. It is a ploy to eventually eliminate ALL freedom of expression and free access to information in the UK.
And the same goes for Chat Control and encrypted messengers, btw

@jonah Lots of people use VPNs all day every day. There's this thing called "working from home".

@TimWardCam @jonah I've twice worked in offices where everything was routed through the mothership via VPN.
Looking forward to seeing the gov call international banks a bunch of child endangering bastards any day now.

@kenobit al di là del giudizio negativo su Apple e i dispositivi chiusi... l'ipod nano 5 è quasi impossibile da riparare... ma il "quasi" è d'obblig: con un po' di manualità e gli strumenti giusti... lo ripari con venti euro, potenzialmente. oggi c'è anche un discreto business di negozietti di quartiere che riparano oggetti elettronici (qui a Roma, almeno, è pieno): è una necessità economica, prima ancora che etica, perché la corsa a cambiare cose che funzionano, è un po' il gioco del pollo...

@gitanjali alle tue legittime coscienziose domande la seconda Carica dello Stato, non frattacchia dalla val Brembana, il fascistissimo Ignazio Benito Maria La Russa, risponde con questa sceneggiata: https://lespresso.it/c/politica/2026/03/16/la-russa-invita-famiglia-del-bosco-in-senato-referendum-accuse-propaganda/60666
Queste sono le loro "argomentazioni", questa la loro strategia, non avendo modo di convincere gli Italiani.
Sul resto mi taccio, sono stanco di usare parole inutili.

@Trames @ju @mau quando si intraprende un cambiamento importante quale quello della costituzione, bisogna essere sicuri che i due terzi del parlamento sappia esattamente quali conseguenze avrà la riforma.
Sono sicuro che ogni parlamentare avrà passato gli ultimi 2-3 anni a ipotizzare, studiare, verificare le conseguenze di questa riforma e che nessuno di loro voterà secondo indicazioni del proprio partito.
