I have a router with opnsense which has q plugin for wireguard making things quite easy for me.
A router is usually also always online and sits at the center of a network so it is the best place for it but there is nothing stopping someone from setting it up with commandline on a home device.
https://www.wireguard.com/quickstart/
There are many online video guides that cover different ways to do it (like docker)
In all casss you first setup a main server on the device that stays home and from it you generate a peer per device you want to connect. (A bunch of settings/codes) Sometimes a peer is a qr code that your device can scan (wireguard app for some devices) otherwise you have to manualy type.
Once set you can just leave it on. The only exception i found is some apps for local payments, presumably because they require both devices to report the same location to perform a transaction.

It is a valid use case. But thats not my usecase by far, which is what was asked.
My comment is slightly directed at people i know irl that are not very technological and believe that surfing the web is inherently not safe, but completely safe one you pay to connect to name_tm.
My apologies if it felt condescending for people who have good reason to tunnel outside there local jurisdiction.

I get the idea but all of it depends on placing your trust in some company who’s entire business model is to sell you privacy.
If you live in an area with such heavy censorship then can you trust the business that is legally allowed to advertise and sell to you?
I personally think such company is way more likely to sell my data on the dark web then the government has resources to investigate what web domains i have visited.

Rosie got a second wind thanks to Trump
I didn't recognize this person and people in the comments seem skeptical about this person:
I looked her up, i believe this is Rosie O'Donnell, comedian turned tv show presenter.
Relevant bits according to wiki on politics, ideology and Trump.
O'Donnell came out as a lesbian in 2002. An outspoken advocate for lesbian rights and gay adoption issues, she is a foster and adoptivemother.
From 2006 to 2007, O'Donnell endured a controversial run as the moderator on the daytime talk show The View, which included a public feud with future president Donald Trumpand on-air disputes regarding the Bush administration's policies with the Iraq War.
In early 2025, shortly after Trump was inaugurated for a second presidential term, O'Donnell moved to Ireland and applied for Irish citizenship through descent.[2] In July 2025, Trump threatened to revoke her U.S. birthright citizenship.[3]
After the Columbine shootings, O'Donnell became an outspoken supporter of gun control
O'Donnell sometimes provoked debate, at one time stating "radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam."[40] On the February 24, 2003, episode of Phil Donahue's talk show, O'Donnell referred to the sexual abuse scandal in the Catholic archdiocese of Boston resulting in $157 million awarded to 983 claimants,[41] stating "I hope the Catholic Church gets sued until the end of time. Maybe, you know, we can melt down some of the gold toilets in the Pope's Vatican and pay off some of the lawsuits because, the whole tenet of living a Christ-like life, has been lost in Catholicism."[42]
In December 2006, O'Donnell criticized Donald Trump for holding a press conference to reinstate Miss USA Tara Conner, who had violated pageant guidelines, accusing him of using her scandal to "generate publicity for the Miss USA Pageant" (to which he owned the rights) by announcing he was giving her a second chance.[58][59] O'Donnell commented that due to Trump's multiple marital affairs and questionable business bankruptcies, he was not a moral authority for young people in America. She stated, "Left the first wife, had an affair. Left the second wife, had an affair – but he's the moral compass for 20-year-olds in America."[59]In response, Trump began a "vicious" mass media blitz in which he appeared on various television shows, either in person or by phone, threatening to sue O'Donnell (he never did).[60]He called her names, insulted her by saying he would "send one of my friends to pick up her girlfriend [Kelli] and I think it would be easy", and claimed that Barbara Walters regretted hiring her.[60][61][62][63]
Over her career, O'Donnell has developed a reputation for raising funds and her own philanthropy to charitable causes. In May 1996, Warner Books advanced O'Donnell $3 million to write a memoir.[116] She used the money to seed her For All Kids Foundation to help institute national standards for day care across the country.[116]
Since 1997, Rosie's For All Kids Foundation, overseen by Elizabeth Birch, has awarded more than $22 million in Early Childhood Care and Education program grants to over 900 nonprofit organizations.[128] On October 30, 2006, she was honored by the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.[129] "It's our privilege to be honoring and hosting Rosie," said NYSPCC president David Stack in a statement.
O'Donnell is a Democrat.[143] She has contributed funds to multiple political campaigns, including to the campaign to elect Senator Doug Jones of Alabama.[144][145]

Advancing humanity
I believe the propaganda here is idea that some people are born special, brighter than every one else.
The message here is not that Bezos wants a trillion humans, the message is that the majority of people are not special and will never archive greatness (like him)
Rich people love to think they belong to this special group but it’s not real, all humans have the capacity to archive greatness if only given the resources to not only survive but thrive.
If everyone had acces to free and quality education, healthcare and food we could have more than a thousand Einsteins and Mozarts right now.
Once everyone is able to archive greatness, it becomes the norm, therefore the rich no longer able to justify their wealth by claiming to be geniuses. Helping the poor thrive and become not poor is a direct threat to their ego and status.
Edit: Wholesome to realise i am the fourth person to comment this. Positivity woke!

If that is the premise we can definitely exclude Xavier.
He may be chaotic and freaky and loooove stabbing people in the back and eating them. But i bet hes also earnest, loyal to his friends and dedicated to their cause.
My bets are on the noble cause i don’t like the rich.
The only reason a noble would leave the safety of their royal home and go on a super dangerous quests would be for clout and prestige. Hiding behind your teammates isn’t brave though… being the only survivor though..
That concludes my in depth psychoanalysis of these single use meme characters.

New EU 'handling fee' due to come in will 'likely' apply to each item within a parcel
Reply in thread
I have to wonder if they’re even trying.
I believe the previous fee was also only for consumer purchases and that industry could still move large amounts of goods without it.
What ended up happening is that the Chinese webstores simply build some warehouses in Europe and thats where your purchases is officially send from, therefore no one needed to pay the fee.
I don't know what they think they achieve with adding another fee.

I was going to say i think only the graphic is ai and got photoshop on a real picture.
But i am no longer sure now.
I don’t know how synth id is designed but this makes me think the id is in the picture itself.
It could also have been “hey chatgpt can you put this (human) graphic on this guys shirt on this (real) photograph..

Lazyness would have been to not bother making a comment at all.

France says West Bank violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians justifies its sanctions against Israeli minister Ben-Gvir
Reply in thread
There seem to be a serious lack of western countries with enough of a spine to stop support for Israel.
But its also important to remember that the conditions at the end of ww2 where that no country wanted to house all the freed jews. Most countries had tight immigration quotas.
For the most part it was the UK which ahum “owned” Palestine according to imperialist bureaucracy.
For a simple minded person it might have made sense.
Zionist jews were already actively occupying Palestinian land. And even the early Nazi regime allowed (often rich) jews to move to Palestine retain some of their wealth trough the UK (i am not sure about the economic details here, i am talking about the Havaara agreement)
The UK could legaly do with Palestine as they wanted.
Europe needed a solution to house all the freed jews.
Obviously it is a bit of an issue that their where already people living there and the two state solutions was never more then an attempt to claim “we tried”
But heck was it easy, all France and other nations essentially had to do was nod and they had a solution with no further effort required.
Fast forward many years later and i am certain those very same nations are very troubled with the current events.. not the events themselves but the knowledge that they are responsible for it.
A nation can at that point do two things.
Admit wrongdoing of their past, which rarely happens.
Double down supporting the idea as the supposedly only possible option.
In highlight of that, it is somewhat applaudable that some are finally starting to correct their stance.

Wow i feel so ashamed now.
I had a talk with her and she is such a nice person. I didn’t know that goblins from the -zak mountains just have a natural facial expression like that.
Turns out the jitter is a symptom from an illness she had since birth.
We have all been so judgemental.
Shame on everyone here, and especially shame on me. I thought i had better standards!
