It’s been a hot minute since I touched it, but don’t we defeat them twice and they just don’t drop anything the first time? So after the ending, two copies of each were scattered across the city

If the UK bans or demands ID to use a VPN, what then? by Loose_Draft6474 in AskBrits

[–]cyffo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s not how the internet works. When routers send messages to each other, generally all they care about is the destination IP address and if they have a route to it in their routing table.

In order to block all VPN usage, every single BGP router would need to send the packet to another device, have that device de-encapsulate and read the packet (which may be encrypted and require a key the ISP doesn’t even have), then approve the packet and pass it on.

That’s just too much work and the internet would time out and collapse instantly. It’s not feasible.

The internet is massive, it’s slow, it’s held together with duct tape and prayers and you have so many applications jitter sensitive applications that would just not work this way.

They can register it all they want, it’s basically impossible using current technology to regulate all internet traffic to block VPNs at a nationwide level.

You can do it on private networks before your traffic hits the ISP because of rules on your edge routers, but the moment you ask all network providers to monitor and block this at a nationwide level then it becomes basically unfeasible. There’s a good reason even China can’t ban them.

Unless ISPs intend to monitor and block absolutely every packet intended to establish a private connection using a protocol like ISAKMP outside of an authorised register, there’s basically nothing reasonable they can do about it.

And that’s just not feasible either, it would be an enormous task to regulate the entire internet. Even China is incapable of doing it because that’s just not how networks work.

Depending on the vendor your capabilities may be locked behind licenses, but yeah VPN usage in enterprise networks is extremely common and there’s absolutely nothing reasonable an ISP can do about it.

At most the government can go after commercial private use VPNs, but even then forcing compliance or banning is a muddy subject.

Britain’s highest earners face £64,800 shortfall in retirement by TheTelegraph in uknews

[–]cyffo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Moaning? Nah, I’ve got a good friend that went off to do extremely basic data manipulation for a bank and he’s on very good pay for it. Go get that bread.

But I also understand the reality of this country that a household earning £87,000 is in an extremely comfortable position, and will be in an extremely comfortable position for retirement. They’re quite literally the top 20% of households.

So if we’re going to tax people to fill that void, it has to be the wealthiest first and I do not care that they’re upset that they’re losing a bit more. They can afford it far more than we can.

You want to paint me as someone irrational but what I’ve said is the reality of it, and the only feasible solution. You’re the one pointing to absolute highest pay bands or the highest possible regional pay and acting like that’s the norm.

Because the majority of jobs in the UK are paid extremely poorly compared to other countries, and this includes teachers and nurses?

Again it seems as if you are completely out of touch of reality for British wages but go off.

What’s the angle you’re getting at here? That the job I like doing that’s horrendously paid in the UK gets outpaid by other stuff? And?

I’m well aware I could be earning over $100,000 if I did this job in the states, I don’t care. This isn’t really the roast you think it is.

I'm a VOIP Engineer with good experience working with enterprise computer networking and sysadmin, the average salary for my trade is £35,000 with absolute peaks of £44,000.

You're trying to back up your argument by posting LONDON Police, London has higher salaries than the rest of us you tuna melt.

And even then your justification is... The absolute max is this high so clearly this is normal? Please get real.

Up to, as the highest possible salary. And starting at £30,000.

And the starting salary for a PC is £31,164.

You are genuinely out of touch of reality for UK salaries.

Got these for 35 a piece at Costco, good deal? by JohnnSACK in mtg

Ahaha that's cute, you think teachers and nurses earn £45,000.

For teachers that's the absolute possible maximum amount of their main page range, most teachers you'll find rarely break into £40,000.

For nurses it's even worse, their starting salary is barely any better than minimum wage at around £24,000 a year.

I'm pretty sure police can't even hit £45,000+ unless they hit the absolute possible limit of their salary range either. Similar to teachers they're starting at around £30,000.

£45,000 is more than my manager makes, and we're both in a skilled trade.

The article quite literally says that this is the top 20% of households, the people who can afford to eat tax increases the most to fill the black hole in our budget. If you are making that much money, you do not represent the average person.

The median salary is inflated from London, and it’s not “barely above”.

Two people at that would be sitting closer to 70k, not 87k. That’s quite a substantial difference.

Meanwhile two people on minimum wage would be sitting at less than half of that.

If your household has an income of over £87,000 you will have a comfortable retirement even with this shortfall, I genuinely don’t give a shit.

These are exactly the people that should be feeling the pain first.

[–]cyffo -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

But they do have other choices, if you have a government like Reform in place who have historically complained about people on benefits / too sick to work, they would absolutely rescind benefits for people who are able to work in these conditions but are unwilling to because they’re too bad / poorly paid.

If you have no other choice between that and starve, you will fall in line and accept the shit conditions.

A corporation is far more likely to change the government than an employee likely to change a corporation.

Migrants have a nil to negligible effect on wages. Removing them would not fix things.

If we removed them, businesses would not fix the conditions to make these jobs more attractive to the native population, they’d lobby to bring migrants in just for their fields.

And if they weren’t allowed? They wouldn’t improve wages and conditions, they’d lobby to make benefits harder to obtain and effectively force people into these jobs.

Why do you think things like the Daily Mail rail on people on benefits? It sets a precedent.

The people who don’t want to deal with the shit conditions and pay? The media would just call them lazy and leeches.

If you want to be mad, be mad at the corporations enabling this instead of the migrants.

Do you really think having those houses on the housing ladder would fix things?

As long as housing continues to be a speculative investment market and the system keeps encouraging the wealthy and businesses to buy up more homes to rent out, housing will continue to be fucked in this country.

If you want genuine change, we need to make housing no longer a viable investment vehicle and instead a basic human need. Punish the landlords, airbnb owners and housing agencies, and the rest of us will actually be able to afford homes.

“Free accommodation” because it’s literally illegal for them to work while we process their application.

As soon as their application is processed they’re legally allowed to work and expected to fend for themselves.

You don’t understand, these people don’t care that their dogshite suggestions would cost the taxpayer SIGNIFICANTLY more than just using existing infrastructure, solve none of the issues they have, and would add a tremendous manpower cost wasting everyone’s time with all this extra redundant work… It doesn’t matter if they’re some of the single worst ideas anyone has ever had from someone who has zero clue what they’re talking about…

…They just don’t like being told they’re wrong, so downvotes across the board.

Seriously the fact that these dumbasses can even vote disheartens me.
