According to the linked RFC it’s due to the site’s user generated content. I guess that’s an understandable policy for Wikipedia.

Ok, that’s fair. I just use the english terms anyways and usually also change the interface language to english.

Apparently for some people (my mom) the search or filters work better on Temu. No idea why, I only ever use AliExpress.

There’s also the longer form Drachinifel version

BTW, I did fix the error. Turns out I was in a public network and the rule only applied to domain networks.
Also these fucking rules don’t show in the usual GUI, you have to look into the registry.

Get a cheap VPS and set up a VPN of your choice.

I mean it sucks for him, but after having been away for three months with more leave time coming the company probably doesn’t have any obligation to keep him hired.

At least that’s the case here in Switzerland (if you worked for a company long enough) and I’d be surprised if the US had better protections.

Yes, because he’s using Linux for those parts

You mean just not caring or something else?
Thing is, you can’t just do that as a registered corporation, even if you’re from another country.

A lot of the stuff you get on nhentai is sometimes questionable. Like 12y/o looking sister questionable.
And what exactly did nhentai figure out that Pornhub didn’t?

There are basically two different approaches to drivers. Windows will have some very basic drivers built-in, but most of them are downloaded and installed when a component that requires them is detected in current versions of Windows.

Linux on the other hand includes every driver it knows about out of the box. You won’t ever need to install additional drivers if the hardware is supported. This makes Linux an excellent portable system, you can just take a drive out of one pc with an AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU and put it into one with an Intel CPU and AMD GPU without driver issues*.

*as long as you stick to the included drivers

Using whatever works better for the current project is doing Hybrid Cloud. Now your boss can brag about how modern the infrastructure is.

An active fork (last I checked) would be hyfetch.

ISPs were already required to block the sites. I don’t think an additional block on the Cisco side would change anything in that case.

Apparently Cisco operates a popular DNS resolver? Never heard of that before.

And definitely don’t learn how to use a VPN. Or set up Unbound or Bind or PowerDNS Recursive…
