It’s literally a covert project funded by google to both sell pixels and harvest data of “privooocy” minded users. It seems to be working well.

Is it actually funded by Google? Citation needed.

I would assume Graphene users make up a statistically insignificant number of Pixel buyers, and most of the users of it I've met opt to use it without any Google services.

This Unusual Traction Engines page doesn't include the vehicle in the post, but has some similar ones like this:

The Hornsby steam crawler: 1910

This machine was shipped to Canada from England in 1910, being sold to the Northern Light Power & Coal Company for use hauling coal to the Klondike gold fields in the Yukon, where it worked until 1927. This was the only sale, and the Hornsby company became disillusioned with their "chain track"and sold the patent rights to the Holt Manufacturing Company in 1914.

It's better to run it as not root, which you can presumably do on Linux Mint by adding yourself (or another user account) to the wireshark group after installing the package. See https://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/CapturePrivileges and https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/raw/master/packaging/debian/README.Debian for details.

You can use Wireshark to see the packets and their IP addresses.

A word of warning though: finding out about all the network traffic that modern software sends can be deleterious to mental health 😬

I do have wireguard on my server as well, I guess it’s similar to what tailscale does?

Tailscale uses wireguard but adds a coordination server to manage peers and facilitate NAT traversal (directly when possible, and via a intermediary server when it isn't).

If your NAT gateway isn't rewriting source port numbers it is sometimes possible to make wireguard punch through NAT on its own if both peers configure endpoints for eachother and turn on keepalives.

Do you know if Yggdrasil does something similar and if we exchange data directly when playing over Yggdrasil virtual IPv6 network?

From this FAQ it sounds like yggdrasil does not attempt to do any kind of NAT traversal so two hosts can only be peers if at least one of them has an open port. I don't know much about yggdrasil but from this FAQ answer it sounds like it runs over TCP (so using TCP applications means two layers of TCP) which is not going to be conducive to a good gaming experience.

Samy Kamkar's amazing pwnat tool might be of interest to you.

I have a device without public IP, AFAIK behind NAT, and a server. If I use bore to open a port through my server and host a game, and my friends connect to me via IP, will we have big ping (as in, do packets travel to the server first, then to me) or low ping (as in, do packets travel straight to me)?

No, you will have "big ping". bore (and everything on that page i linked) is strictly for tunneling which means all packets are going through the tunnel server.

Instead of tunneling, you can try various forms of hole punching for NAT traversal which, depending on the NAT implementation, will work sometimes to have a direct connection between users. You can use something like tailscale (and if you want to run your own server, headscale) which will try its best to punch a hole for a p2p connection and will only fall back to relaying through a server if absolutely necessary.

See https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling for a list of many similar things. A few of them automatically setup letsencrypt certs for unique subdomains so you can have end-to-end HTTPS.

this track really has a lot of flavor

done.

Ok, just make a post or comment there (that is where the button will be for me to appoint you a mod).

i think as the crow flies it is about 6.2 million meters from Bohai Bay to Neva Bay, and the country in the middle is actually Mongolia rather than Kazakhstan.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_that_have_gained_independence_from_the_United_Kingdom says the current count is 65 countries, but cites https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/most-countries-to-have-gained-independence-from-the-same-country which says 66 (4 + 62).

France and Spain are in second and third place with 28 and 17, respectively.

that sounds great! is there more information somewhere about this plan yet?
