So basically the perfect question for the internet?

So you admit that I’m the one with the correct concept of a phone?

Also the fire alarm battery was dead, and the entire thing was an analogy anyway.

Either way out of courtesy, I will retire from this battle of wits; it appears you’ve come unarmed.

Oh, so if there’s a fire in the building I should quietly slip a note under your door and assume you got it?

As I have stated I only call if it’s an emergency (I’m in an accident, im in danger, someone else is hurt) or it’s time sensitive (someone has face value Taylor Swift tickets at work, want me to get them for you?) I almost always text first, wait 5 min then try calling, I’m not a monster.

I find it pretty self important of people to cut off last resort real time communication with close friends and family because you think 2 minutes of your day is that much more important.

You can configure unknown numbers to go to voicemail. Heck you can make it so that only a certain subset of people ring.

Shame on you for blocking everyone instead of learning how to filter communication, and double shame on you if you get mad when you missed something that someone was trying every possible method to get a hold of you.

Dear Sir / Madame I am writing to inform you of a fire at 123 Carrington Road. Looking forward to meeting you. Yours Truly Morris Moss

If I’m calling it’s an emergency or extremely time sensitive. Otherwise I text. I can understand when you don’t want app or even text notifications. But understand and accept the risk that comes with it.

What pisses me right the fuck off is when I call, then call again, then text, then text again, and you, “mr/mrs im so important I can’t be bothered by notifications” are somehow offended at me because you missed out on something because you didn’t bother properly configuring two calls in a row from a known contact through your deny-by-default filter.

Those people, family or not, can fuck right off.

I don’t like telemarketing or spam calls. But I also take responsibility and check if it’s actually important. It’s nbd to me to hang up on a spam call. And to be honest I have gotten a fair share of legitimate calls from numbers I don’t recognize.

TL;DL Answer ya damn phone, you damn well know tiktok and insta still gonna be there 5 seconds from now

Правда?

But this user plans to leave ping running all the time to check that their own Internet connection is working.

Either way, at any given time there’s tons of traffic leaving your network, it just means that software is active, not that a human is active. On top of that, Cloudflare probably isn’t selling the fact that an ICMP ping was received at their DNS server directly to spammers quickly enough for them to act and put an email at the top of your inbox, assuming that spam isn’t caught by a spam filter first.

FPS are an adventure/puzzle game where the only solution is “USE GUN ON MAN”

If the other traffic is already correlated to your IP, then what additional info does an ICMP echo leak?

ICMP doesn’t reveal any personal details. As opposed to say when you visit with the web browser where you can be fingerprinted, and perhaps have that tied to the rest of your browsing history or real world identity.

to be clear, I’m not saying you’re wrong, just can’t help but see this in my head.

BOFH: hooked up the mains to the doorknob and asked a luser to bring their laptop over for personal attention and repair.

dmesg | less should allow you to scroll the output. You should use forward slash in less to search for the devices (hit enter), see if the modules are being loaded or if there some errors.

you gotta buy the furniture but the house is free

check lsmod before and after see what kernel modules are changing.

also look at dmesg for interesting kernel messages as you attempt to use / not use the offending hardware.

tcpdump, wireshark can capture packets.

haproxy can be a proxy of many networking protocols

mitmproxy can help see encrypted traffic by acting as a literal man in the middle.

ssh with certain parameters can become a SOCKS5 proxy to encrypt and tunnel traffic out of a hostile network
