One of the unfortunate realities of operating a sensitive service like email is that you have to cooperate with valid government requests or risk getting fined, or worse, banned from the country. The good thing is that end to end encryption restricts the information they have to turnover about your messages, but this is vulnerability of pretty much any service. Your email provider will not go to jail for you.

I do find the IP blacklisting a little ironic considering they run a VPN, but that’s not much of a surprise either considering their freemium business model. I don’t see how either of these practices would link them to Israel, but it’s fair if you’re uncomfortable with them. I think you’d be hard pressed to find services that don’t also do these things, though. What do you use for email?

What makes you think that?

I’ve found ProtonMail to be pretty nice. Easy to import your mail into too. YouTube has been hard though. PeerTube is cool but rather small (feel free to ask my any questions about it though). Ideally we’d be using stuff like Nebula and Patreon to support creators directly, but you can at the very least use a fronted to minimize contact with Google.

Well how do you like to spend your time? Finding people to share your hobbies with is a great way to build community

What makes this particular technology different from the others that allow for thoughts to be turned into speech?

Mind posting what you’re looking for?

Wasn’t there something really similar with dns0.eu? Are these related in any way?

That’s a good point. I was just thinking on it since I recently reached 500 posts. Might go scroll through them and look at some of the comments again

RSS is awesome. My favorite fun fact is that podcasts are RSS-based, which is why you can listen to any of them from any podcast app.

I mean I guess. They aren’t actively fighting or anything like that to my knowledge. I personally think the Privacy Guides is the better resource, because PrivacyTools has vpn recommendations like Nord and Surfshark with affiliate links that are not actively disclosed from my quick check.

Try Brave Search, Duckduckgo, Startpage, or Searxng. For more detail on these recommendation (that I definitely did not just steal), check out the Privacy Guides page, or The New Oil for a different, albeit overlapping, set of recommendations and take on search engines.

Here’s the article from Mozilla explaining their position. There is also this random article from The Record that seems to give a bit more of a detailed explanation from what I skimmed.

For me it’s usually plants, and I still manage to suck at them. I do know some fun facts though.

This was in a VM, but I was running Ubuntu LTS to mess around with Nextcloud, maybe even save some data to it. I also installed Pihole and ran into an issue, so I uninstalled it. Apparently, when you uninstall Pihole, it also gives you the option to uninstall important system packages like ipconfig. Borked my install. I was freaking pissed.

!crusaderkings@kbin.social and !grandstrategy@lemmy.ml. I really want some more activity for CK3 and grand strategy on Lemmy like there is on Reddit. Oh plus my daily mander.xyz shout out.

ProtonVPN still offers it I believe

I kind of regret making my account so early on the mainline instance, rather than on mander, beehaws, or elsewhere, but I still manage to stay relatively far away from the madness by just keeping subscribed to the right communities.

Shoutout to mander.xyz!
