I use https://github.com/ckb-next/ckb-next You can check if your device is supported https://github.com/ckb-next/ckb-next/wiki/Supported-Hardware here

Select your device -> select the button -> binding -> keyboard -> Miscellaneous -> Page Up or Page Down -> Apply

I used the links in https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Main_Page to get the latest builds

Lol I spent a week going back and forth with Revolut support in august. I could sign into the app but it would always ask me for a “selfie” verification and every time support would say its a super dark selfie.

Eventually I decided to try a stock ROM and it just worked and I realised what was happening so I transferred all of my money out and deleted my account.

Most local banks here are terrible at making apps, some even require a separate device that looks like a calculator to use online banking, so hopefully they wont follow suit anytime soon

Am I out of touch?

a writing assistant was one of the most requested features in our recent survey

Apparently, I am. People actually want this

For Proton Mail, 59% of respondents want an easier way to send end-to-end encrypted emails to non-Proton users, while 29% want a writing assistant for proofreading, grammar, and composing emails.

Nothing I hate more than not giving a link to the repo

Scribe relies on open source code and models, and is itself open source and therefore available for independent security and privacy audits

Not on their support page specifically for it either

Had to got to Reddit and look at their comments to find out they’re using Mistral

https://reddit.com/comments/1e68sof/comment/ldsbs24

We built Scribe in r/ProtonMail using the open-source model Mistral AI to empower anyone in need of email productivity to use a privacy-respecting alternative to r/ChatGPT or r/GeminiAI that:
 ❌ doesn’t log or save prompts
 ⛔️ doesn’t use your data for training
 🔎 open-source code that anyone can inspect
 🖥️ can be run locally, so your data never leaves your device
 
See the official announcement here: https://proton.me/blog/proton-scribe-writing-assistant

https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1/discussions/8

Hello, thanks for your interest and kind words! Unfortunately we’re unable to share details about the training and the datasets (extracted from the open Web) due to the highly competitive nature of the field. We appreciate your understanding!

Telegram uses Google services like Signal for notifications - https://telegra.ph/Notifications-FIX its the first point under the Android section

https://core.telegram.org/api/push-updates these are the docs for building your own Telegram app, specifically the push notifications section and again it mentions using APNS for iOS or FCM for Android but they also offer Simple push which would work with Unifiedpush and would be one way to bypass FCM but I don’t know if they offer that in their official app or if there are any other Telegram apps that have implemented it

I use a proton alias for any online shops that I use regularly and I have a folder set up for any emails to that alias with notifications off.

For one off/untrusted things I use simplelogin, I have proton unlimited which includes unlimited simplelogin aliases. So each of these websites gets its own alias and if that alias starts to get spam I either turn it off or delete it.

You can also add a mailbox in simplelogin so I added my proton shopping alias to that, this way all online shopping emails go to one folder with no notifications and my main proton shopping alias isn’t completely ruined with spam since I can delete any simplelogin accounts when needed.

There seems to be a lot of discount codes and affiliate links which usually means payment from the providers to the person running the list. When money is involved, truth is often the first casualty, so I would take it with a grain of salt.

https://www.techlore.tech/vpn.html has a pretty good list, its open source so anyone can create an issue/contribute on github https://github.com/techlore/website/tree/master/assets/vpn. They’re open about any affiliate links https://discuss.techlore.tech/pub/sponsors-affiliates and are pretty well regarded for an intro in to online privacy

https://www.privacyguides.org/en/vpn/ is also a great resource with a much smaller and stricter list with regards to privacy and tends to be my go to when I’m looking for a new privacy respecting service. I think they have a community here but I don’t think its very active and they also have a subreddit which was pretty active the last time I was on it a few months ago

Weirdly in this case I think I agree. You can look at my previous comments about how much I hate Apple but it seems to me that OP isn’t too technical and installing a custom ROM might not be what they’re after. iPhones don’t have any of those annoying games and stuff preinstalled, as long as the carrier doesn’t install stuff. I’d suggest a refurbished unlocked iPhone though, to save some money. Make sure the previous owners account is removed from the device or else it’ll probably just be a paper weight.

If OP is open to custom ROMs then GrapheneOS is a great choice but LineageOS and DivestOS are also great options for someone that wants to get started with privacy and they support a lot more devices, that can be got for cheaper than an iPhone/Pixel. Again, I’d recommended a refurbished, carrier unlocked phone that is supported by one of these projects

Its been a little over 5 years for me now.

For the past month or so I’ve been making Pad Thai that I’ve been calling Pad Italian because I use tomato paste and lime juice instead of tamarind paste since I’ve never been able to find it and I use spaghetti instead of noodles because I can’t find noodles that don’t have egg in them. I also swapped out tofu for lentil “tofu” because tofu has gotten so expensive here.

Pad Thai recipe I loosely follow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CNavd3G_Qs

Lentil “tofu” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIBCSf0e_6k

Another one I’ve been loving recently is gardeners pie

I undercook lentils in veg stock then use that stock to boil some frozen veg. Then use that stock to make gravy. Blend a tin of chickpeas and mix everything together with spices/seasoning. I find thick gravy and blended chickpeas help keep the lentils sticking together so it doesn’t all completely fall apart when I go to eat it.

Boil some potatoes and sweet potatoes together and mash them and put them on top and then bake it in the oven.

One of my favourite desserts is a no bake brownie https://rainbowplantlife.com/no-bake-nutella-fudge-bars/#wprm-recipe-container-6608

I’ve adapted the recipe a bit, I switched out hazelnuts for a mix of whatever nuts and seeds I have and I’ve swapped the dates for raisins with a bit of water since there are rarely ever dates in stock where I shop. I heat it up in the microwave before I eat it to melt the chocolate a bit.

Does windows give you just under 100C when you’re just browsing the web or watching videos??

If so then your thermal set up is not working properly. You should check to make sure you’ve got thermal paste on your CPU and the cooler is mounted properly and making good contact. Also some people may accidentally leave the clear plastic sticker on the cooler where it makes contact with the CPU.

I’ve never water cooled so I can’t give advice there.

The 8700k is rated for a max temperature of 100C so it shouldn’t really be anywhere near that at idle. https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/126684/intel-core-i7-8700k-processor-12m-cache-up-to-4-70-ghz.html

For context my 7900x is at about 40C at idle and I don’t think I’ve seen it go over 75C under load.

CPUs thermal throttle as they reach their maximum rated tempuratures which would explain why everything is running slower.

The service could not appeal because a Swiss law had actually been broken and because “legal tools for serious crimes” were used.

Yep under Swiss law he was a criminal, we may not agree with the law but unfortunately that’s the case here

https://friendlylinuxplayers.org/ is a group that you might be interested in

https://github.com/zotify-dev/zotify its python not bash but may be helpful, also it downloads the files from Spotify instead of YouTube.

I know it checks the playlist folder to see if its already downloaded each song but I’m not sure if it checks other folders too, but it should be easy enough to edit yourself to make it do that.

ProtonMail also guaranteed that “by default” it would not store any IP addresses that could be linked to users’ email accounts.

They don’t store IP addresses by default but when required to by law, they don’t have a choice just like any other company would.

Bad OPSEC by the activist, Protons hands were tied

Insular uses the work profile to isolate apps.

Or you can add a whole new user to the phone and switch between them when you need

The issue with this is the difference between GB (1,000,000,000 bytes) and GiB (1,073,741,824 bytes) https://massive.io/file-transfer/gb-vs-gib-whats-the-difference/

HDD manufacturers use GB, which is a metric measurement, because its better for marketing while computers use GiB, which is a binary measurement. So people think they’re buying 15GiB but in reality they’re buying 13.5GiB marketed as 15GB

You probably need to set up split tunneling in your VPN app on your phone. Either enable split tunneling for the apps on your phone that you use to connect to your home server or enable split tunneling in the VPN app for the local IP address of your home server so that you can use any apps to connect to your home server while still having the VPN enabled for any other websites you visit in those apps. I know ProtonVPN and Mullvad both automatically have split tunneling set up for local IPs on PC but not for Android, this would explain the differences between your laptop and phone

https://github.com/pablouser1/ProxiTok is similar to teddit and invidious, you can self host an instance or use a public one

NOYB have a good write up about how they came to the agreement by using this simple trick, the EU and US have different definitions of the word “proportionate” but the US’s definition is undisclosed…
