I'm not sure how real companies handle this, but I can share what we did in a student organization at my university that provided internet to its members.

Not only could we monitor who was downloading a lot of data, but we also received emails from legal organizations informing us that a specific IP in our network(All members had a public IP) had downloaded copyrighted content. They would ask us to disconnect that user. These emails typically came with an XML file attached, filled with legal information and details about the content being downloaded, often including the exact torrent filename.

We built a system that would automatically parse the XML and forward the email to the user responsible. The subject line may or may not have been "Use a VPN, you idiot!" at some point.

We also maintained a "high score" list to track what was trending. The last time I checked, Rick and Morty was in the top 3, but that was a while ago.

Microwave for 2 minutes, or until the popping slows down.

Historically, I've been terrible at interpreting hints. These days, I often worry about whether these hints are genuine, leading me to assume they are simply being kind.

Whenever I attempted to decipher these hints in the past, I was invariably rejected. Consequently, as an adult, my self-esteem has suffered greatly. So much so, that with the last woman who dropped hints, I merely wanted to be friends. Five years later, I still think about it.

Needless to say, my job doesn't provide many opportunities to meet women.

Confidence and weight issues, and I lost? Some of my social skills during the pandemic? I'm not sure how to put it, I feel like I can't speak anymore.

Skulle vara kul att köra en riktig instans, men då skulle man typ behöva hitta något ställe med redundant lina in och lite rackspace.

Tycker det är synd att det inte finns något riktigt bra svenskt hostning bolag som riktar sig till de lokala privat personer/bolag, Sverige är ju bra rätt bra på IT överlag så känns lite skumt att det inte finns något som är välkänt.

Tittade på att köpa colocation av Bahnhof för några år sedan, då var det inte super dyrt för typ 5 eller 6U men nu vetta sjutton. Sedan var det inte för privat personer utan för bolag så då skulle man behöva etablera det.

Great question, the answer is no.

[Edit]

I do have the feature "Detect suspicious networks." enabled, so it might be that? Never thought about this setting before.

Yeah, it was. But I can use it now, so it must have been a glitch. But even so, I don't want this feature to exist at all.

 

I just connected to my home Wi-Fi and got the notification, "Google play has switched off your Wi-Fi." It hasn't done this before, but after a while it connected again with no complaints.

First question: Why?

Second question: How to prevent it from doing that again?

I don't like it that "Snoople" can choose that my home Wi-Fi should not be used. They have no right to making that decision.

Network details.

I have pi-hole running as a DNS with a lot of block-lists active (haven't added a new one since 2021) All are up to date.

Wi-Fi uses WPA3, and up to date.
