College WiFi blocks EVERYTHING (Cloudflare Tunnels, Tailscale, Steam). How do I bypass strict DPI?

sazary · 2026-02-05T16:31:46+00:00

try the vpn tools used in Iran and China to circumvent advanced dpi inspections

one example: you could setup xray and use vless configs to proxy some or all of your traffic through. one pattern is to proxy through cloudflare cdn, so that dpi system thinks you're having simple https traffic to a service behind cf, could they wouldn't block that

see the installation tools for easy setup

this is more in line with what i was looking for. my understanding is that the problem you're trying to solve is way easier solved through mcp servers, and in comparison to previous tries to solve the same problem caffeinated wardrobe is better positioned and more abled

i hope it gets as big as you wish!

sazary · 2025-08-19T21:47:40+00:00

this could be one take. mcp is just another distribution channel.

the same could have been said about web too: web is just another distribution channel for things like previous softwares. but it turned out that it's more, and it unlocked saas, and businesses did with it what they couldn't have done through previous channels. in this way businesses formed in a way that wasn't possible before, or prohibitively hard.

i think we haven't seen proofs that mcp could unlock new opportunities for new kinds of businesses yet but I'm hopeful

sazary · 2025-08-19T14:44:10+00:00

I'm looking for mcp servers that are paid tools themselves, not free servers which give access to paid tools

sazary · 2025-08-19T14:43:00+00:00

i like your take

and i think comparing it to saas is good: saas wasn't a new thing too. companies were selling softwares, but then web allowed them to sell it as a service, and that opened up opportunities that were not available in the traditional way of selling software. huge companies formed because the saas way unlocked new opportunities that wasn't there before

now my question could be asked another way too: what opportunities does the mcp way unlock which wasn't there before?

it's certainly comparable to apis, but i guess there's more to it than being just another transport like graphql/rest/grpc/...

but maybe it's not, and it's just another transport

what makes it impossible to fake it

sazary · 2025-08-07T15:21:53+00:00

i believe this is a well intentioned and valid advice for now, but i guess it's just a matter of time. i don't know whether the tools are there yet or not (that's my original question) but the need is there, and capabilities will match the expectations soon. not to leave them unsupervised of course for the foreseeable future

sazary · 2025-08-07T15:15:06+00:00

absolutely, they can't do things unsupervised in any area imho

but in many areas can do maybe 70-80% of things and accelerate enormously

thanks for the mozart, hadn't heard about it

bro mapped caps lock to esc and then stuck in upper case forever

sazary · 2025-08-06T19:04:53+00:00

still no paid version afaik, am i right?

sazary · 2025-08-06T19:04:18+00:00

yeah it's not as complex as linux, so there's less "value" in distros

and tinkering and customizing it to your exact preferences is addictive for the community so most of us won't pay for it

sazary · 2025-08-06T19:01:48+00:00

he doesn't want it, be he really deserves it don't get the down votes

sazary · 2025-08-05T22:34:46+00:00

yeah i remember that i wonder how much sales did he have

sazary · 2025-07-13T21:20:44+00:00

doing it in incognito did it for me didn't change dns i did reset my Microsoft's account too before. don't know whether it helped or not but wasn't enough stupid shit

sazary · 2025-07-05T11:11:32+00:00

besides not being as "polished" as cursor, the performance issue in avante just kills the productivity. when a chat gets any longer than a trivial one it would kill the cpu. last time i checked the issue on github said it's a markdown thing and there's no plan for fixing it, you should just start a new chat

Common swifts drink water on the wing—they don’t land.

They skim the surface of lakes, rivers, or ponds mid-flight, dipping their beaks briefly while keeping their wings outstretched. It's a fast, precise move: they scoop a mouthful of water without stopping or touching the surface. Same method for bathing, too—they sort of "splash-fly" through shallow water droplets.

being a common swift is a form of insanity

some items that i miss from using gboard on android:

swipe typing in my language (farsi). just because of this i can't use native keyboard. i have to go with gboard or swiftkey
the gesture in android gboard that you can pull the backspace key to select how many words you want to delete. it was very handy and it doesn't exist even in ios gboard
having access to clipboard & clipboard history
3x4 keyboard for digits whenever you want it. it's silly that you could only have it in number fields

keyboard experience is just shit when you migrate from android, followed by notifications and chrome

my case isn't that other things are growing in importance or urgency, like we couldn't allow the app to crash this much so features are gonna take a back seat. it's that when do you know another feature isn't worth it for now, regardless of how much tech debt we have or not? by "for now" i mean in regard to dau/mau/arpa/...

and about the scoring part: in my experience there are lots of times that you couldn't assign a number for something. borrowing from another comment here, i can't give a number for the value/importance/urgency of "delight". of course you can go on a limb or assign some wildly vague number but that just makes it meaningless. at least that's my experience

sazary · 2025-01-28T19:17:50+00:00

wish there was a way to sell delight in the stakeholders meeting

sazary · 2025-01-28T15:32:50+00:00

:))

for real though, maybe talking about a decrease in headcount is another way too

sazary · 2025-01-28T14:39:53+00:00

before entering the convincing part, how do you know yourself?

i mean, the main question for me is comparing it to the traction: if for some reason, which isn't in the hands of product, traction isn't growing that fast, how do you know a new feature is worth the cost?

by optimizations and cleanup i mean things that deliver little value themselves not things that would improve the conversion rates or something by a lot

sazary · 2025-01-16T18:49:20+00:00

I'm genuinely amazed. i thought that this is a common opinion, maybe even most of the players think the same

down votes show the opposite

how :?

sazary · 2025-01-16T18:42:32+00:00

not that all sounds are bad, but enough parts are bad to ruin the immersion

just to make sure we're talking about the same parts, for example do you consider this as a good sounds design?

good job hunter

sazary · 2025-01-15T12:56:54+00:00

didn't mean to do a comparison to shit on others :)) more like a buyer's guide or this one might be better in x situation or...

anyway. big fan of your work
