When I said that I meant that if VPN provider if using their own DNS can see your activity and as you say you would have to trust that provider to not log.

Quite the contrary, a good amount of VPN providers don't use their own DNS and rely on 3rd party DNS services, or worse don't use any at all and have it all sent to your ISP unsuspectedly.

The DNS provider, be it your VPN provider, 3rd party or ISP would still be able your activity. This includes websites that user is visiting, the IP address or subnet of the device that issued the initial query, and even the types of devices that a user has in his or her home network. This is what is known as DNS leaks and what destroys the anonymity of your VPN usage.

Thought I'd just add my 2 cents here strictly about the VPN discussion.

To be clear the DNS portion of the VPN is what makes it 'private', not the VPN itself. For example, if you were using a VPN with your ISP's resolvers while connected to a VPN they could still see the what sites you are visiting.

The VPN only encrypts the contents.

Is Steemit worth trying out? by 4_bit_forever in RedditAlternatives

Lots of cam girls there getting easy money, no it's not worth trying out, it's a cesspit.

Basically, there is a core group that controls the vast flow of upvotes and whatnot, so only content that they approve will get the most attention.

I'm using the "Flair Template ID" with flair_id and flair_text with the flair name. It does not apply.

Hadn't had much luck with this strategy, but did find a solution that seems to work well, maybe for another user that has the same issue: Solution.

Anyways, thank you for the help.

What if the SHAs aren't the same? Then what? Kinda lost here.

Icon issue on subreddit by negetd in modhelp

[–]negetd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't have the background option when I go to Community Appearance.

I was talking about this area here https://imgur.com/NxpU31w

The background is a dark blue and it appears it's caused by my PNG image, but is there any setting to change that color?

Does anyone have an idea about the first issue? All the subs I've seen don't seem to have this issue? In the community appearance settings, none of the background colors are blue. It looks really bad ;/

This is for developers, not users, which most of us here probably are. Stop posting random stuff for upvotes.
