LineageOS fixed the VPN bypass bug discovered in Android 16, which Google refuses to fix at the time of writing.

Good work! @LineageOS

The patch will presumably be adopted soon by @iode and other LineageOS forks.

GrapheneOS has already patched this bug too.

Впереди анархия, почему нет?: «Тренды порядка и хаоса», эпизод 262

Привет. Меня зовут Дмитрий Петров-старший. Почему так – многие знают. А кто не знает – узнать легко. Итак – привет. Мы продолжаем наш подкаст «Тренды Порядка и хаоса». Это эпизод 262.  Крошка-сын к отцу пришел И сказала кроха: Хаос – это хорошо! А порядок – плохо!   Я горжусь тобой сын! Ты не вырос лохом. Знаешь: хаос – хорошо! А порядок – плохо. Не знаю, кто придумал первое четверостишие. Второе придумал я. Лет 10 назад. Жаль, не для этого подкаста. А можно было бы запустить джингл, как когда-то в 1990-х на…

I found this persons blog post on the concern of Mullvad's WireGuard Exit IP correlation interesting.

Mullvad exit IPs as a fingerprinting vector

Mullvad is one of the few VPN providers that offers multiple exit IPs for its servers. If two people connect to the same server, they will usually end up with different public IPs. With only 578 servers (compared to Proton VPN’s 20,000), this kind of vertical scaling makes sense to avoid cramming too many users onto one IP, which would be a problem on sites with overzealous IP blocks and ratelimits.

New research suggests Mullvad’s WireGuard exit IP assignment could make cross-server correlation easier in some cases.

The report highlights how difficult true online anonymity can be, even with privacy-focused VPNs.

Mozilla may say this to the UK but will they listen? Ultimately... No.

The UK is a totalitarian shit hole where there was a petition against the OSA (Online Safety Act) and it got above a certain number where it would be debated in parliament. However, the government actually turn round and basically said "er, sorry mate. But we're gonna do it anyway, so fuck you"

They don't listen to their own people let alone Mozilla.
