the WhatsApp chat transfer feature has worked for me many times https://faq.whatsapp.com/209942271778103/

for Viber I've only tried it via the backup on old phone and then restore that backup on the new phone

me too! somehow in my retro computing/gadget collecting I ended up with two Data Discmans, a DD-8 and a DD-10BZ, they both work fine and the DD-10 is complete in original box as well.

There is authoring software available at http://www.robotsandcomputers.com/computers/dd8h.htm to create compatible CDRs full of books assuming you can find some blank Mini CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

neat devices, Sony was always ahead of the time

For my rather simple needs I've been using https://httptoolkit.com free edition, I like that it launches a independent Firefox window on its own for the intercepting so I don't have to touch my working browser or deal with configuring a proxy anywhere

Sanctioned individuals would have a hard time working anywhere for the simple fact they cannot open a bank account, practically all banks everywhere deny services to sanctioned individuals or face the wrath of OFAC

> a little IDS/IPS could help keep some nasty traffic off your home Internet pipe

the adblock package does a great job of blocking ads and other nasty stuff, it doesn't have fancy statistics or an interface like Pi-hole but it does its job without complaining

try local second hand sites and physical copies, although the quality will most likely not be as good if its only been released on DVD

that oldschool design of the site brings back memories, so clean and functional

Been using OpenWRT on a Ubiquity EdgeRouter X for years and it runs great, using adblock directly on it as well, granted there are no nice statistics for adblock like on PiHole but the important thing is that it does the job. Have a separate dumb AP also running OpenWRT which needs upgrading and the next router must support OpenWRT it has practically become a required feature

because their similarity in language with Bulgaria helps performing convincing scams

Had an experience recently where I tweeted at booking.com's profile @bookingcom only to be tweeted back by 5-6 different lookalike profiles all pretending to be customer support and asking for my personal information and a WhatsApp phone number to resolve my issue. All the accounts were something like @Bookingcomx @BookingCom_44 @BookingCom__4

I'm thinking how hard can it be to automatically block this from Twitter's end? They were all using the official booking's profile image and had something in their profile info indicating they were "booking". It's just a few simple checks and then at the very least require extra validation of the account before allowing them any further.

You can go right now and look at everyone sending tweets to the official account, their replies will be full of scammers https://twitter.com/search?q=%40bookingcom&src=typeahead_cli...
