As a software dev myself, I must say with all due respect that devs are not known for their intuition.

Probably need to look for less than a short. Water is conductive but not THAT conductive.

Yes your original point was well made. It just wasn't clear yet how DNS requests would leak search queries. So more precisely, multiple DNS requests with local cache misses in a short period of time can be used to infer search queries. Like if there are DNS requests for google, amazon, and a botany supplier one after another, then it could be inferred that you searched for something related to shopping and plants.

Thanks for the detailed response!

How would a DNS request leak a search query? Not much more than the domain name is sent in a DNS query. And likely the OS has the search engine in the DNS cache so each search doesn't require a DNS query.

I didn't diagnose them. I said they could have it. It makes it harder to thrive if it isn't treated. I had two important adults in my life get diagnosed recently and they are so relieved to begin understanding their executive deficits, and knowing their history it seems much clearer now why they were struggling. I only brought it up because if they are untreated, they could potentially have easier lives by finding treatment. I'm sad to see that so many people were offended by my mere suggestion that they could be affected. The disorder is hereditary, but not every relative is affected. Having ADHD doesn't make you a shitty person, but it's more likely you end up in bad situations when you have less control of yourself.

What are you printing so much of that requires a nuts and bolts drawer? I want in!

I had to essentially read the same thing four times before there was any new information in this post. Not sure if that's a Jerboa thing or what, but probably could have been avoided.

One main reason for keeping the pressure in the system is that whichever global superpower exploits their population the most effectively has the upper hand in most fronts. If there wasn't a competition for world dominance then we could all relax a bit more. Til then we are forced into vigilance.

I've also used VoIP.ms. Making and receiving calls is possible but requires setting up a SIP client app on your phone. Getting the settings right can be tricky.

Damn dude, who beat the shit out of you, took all your stuff and banged "your" women?

As a default, a spouse and kids will rope you into decades of regular social interaction.

Look into fixed wireless or 4G/5G home internet. Fixed wireless is sometimes exactly what you need in spots like that. It is not 4G or 5G, sometimes it is just long range WiFi or other lax spectrum.
