I've been wanting to ask HN about Reddit & PII, I have never had an account and generally only use reddit.com when something in a public libreddit instance isn't working - for example a video.

Reddit seems to target me with sponsored posts very specific to the industry that I work in, despite the fact that I do not have an account.

- Exclusively use iOS private relay - Do not use apps, only use web versions of services - 1blocker iOS installed - I don't use any Google products or the search engine

I raised a GDPR request with Reddit, and they stated that they have no way of knowing who I am when I use the site if I am not actively signed in.

How is reddit able to target me specifically with sponsored posts that are specific to the industry and skillset I'm in? What PII do they hold and how can I request they remove it?

I'm doing the exact same thing, I switched ISPs and found that PFsense would only give me 10% of my WAN bandwidth due to the way the pppoe daemon is threaded.

My new firewall is Debian managed by Ansible, the playbook sets up pppoe, nftables and nettopng.

I really missed pfblockerng, so I wrote a shell script to download Firehol feeds and inject them as a set into my nftables rules.

Whole thing works great off a Proxmox J3455/8Gb mini PC with 2 NICs, leaving room for some LXC and Docker containers/

Thank you, I missed that detail

Does iOS lockdown mode mitigate this vulnerability?

Under what circumstances can internal traffic leak to external addresses in 11.0.0.0/8? I’d have thought it wouldn’t have been routed via a gateway if the traffic is local.
