  • But I bet poor citizens will be fucked if they fuck up their fax returns...

  • Proton

    Jump
  • They also doubled down on it with the official proton accounts and left privavy-focused social media in favor of corporate censored social media, specifically.

    Trump is good is the official position of the company now since they doubled down.

    It really really calls into question if they are lying about their company's values and it is just marketing. People seem to give them extra leeway because they are swiss and the whole "neutrality" BS, but nestle is one of the worst companies in the entire world and they are swiss šŸ˜…

  • I always found trivia murder party quite boring, myself. My friend groups always just ended up having conversations during it

  • Meanwhile the EU probably pushes for the 100th time to backdoor all communication encryption backed by fascists and Spain trying to put down the Catalans...

    And the UK doing the same thing and also a big surveillance state...

    Sadly nowhere is great right now.

  • I have a phone with 128GB of space and an SD card with 256GB. To update to 256GB internal would have cost 250€ because price reductions often only happen on base models.

    I have used 86GB of internal with the rest on the SD. That is near-zero photos, a few streaming playlists, 2 game apps, and almost no documents. Apps take up ridiculous amounts of space now because devs don't give a fuck about space.

    On my SD card I have used up 154GB of 256GB.

    My music library, all of my photos and videos are stored directly on the SD card, backups from apps, etc...

    See how 154 + 86 is way more than 128 and a 256GB SD card cost 30€ while to upgrade to 256GB internal would be more than 800% the cost? And the sum above would be at the limit of 256GB anyway? They didn't offer a 512GB model.

    The added benefit of if my phone dies or gets destroyed, the chance that I can just pull my SD card out and have all of my needed info including backups of my TOTP codes and everything without having to go to a multi-hundred euro recovery service.

  • They can't last outside of the fridge because the US strips the protective layer from the shells...

  • I would like to see the stats on that. A lot of times people who are in the industry or know someone in it see their wages and others' wages going up and say "wages went up with inflation" where the starting wage or the wage normalized to seniority level actually hasn't changed much at all. For example, in engineering like electriical (outside of silicon valley in the US which has its own economical wage ecosystem) has had entry level positions that have gone up around 20% since the 2008 while inflation has gone up almost 50% since 2008 and productivity has skyrocketed with CAD advancements.

  • Yes, but the difference is that wages have not significantly gone up since then apart from minimum wage in a few states. That is the difference. People are literally poorer because of the massively increased wealth inequality coming from employers shoving down wages while making yearly record profits...

    If peoples' purchasing power is more or less the same, factoring in inflation to game prices would result in a ton of people simply not being able to buy "luxury goods" like video games.

  • This is absolutely so true. All of the "hunting" survivalists don't realize that you would essentially have 1000 people hunting every 1 deer if you live in the suburbs and not that much better rurally. This isn't 1800 anymore.

    The best thing you can do is have enough land to farm, learn how to farm, and stock the hell up on base ingredients (wheat, rice, dry beans, lentils) and stock up on as many seeds as you know how to grow. Even then; one bad harvest and you starve.

    But seriously, I can't stress dry beans and lentils enough. They last forever, they can be sprouted and replanted, and they have many many times more protein than corn or rice which is very important when you go vegan.

    Also getting ducks will give eggs for additional protein and B12 vitamins that you would miss out on otherwise.

  • Dropping instead of blocking might technically be better because it wastes a bit more bot time and they see it as "it doesn't exist" rather than an obsticle to try exploits on. Not sure if that is true though.

    For me:

    • ssh server only with keys
    • absolutely no ssh forwarding, only available to local network via firewall rules
    • docker socket proxy for everything that needs socket access
    • drop non-used ports, limit IPs for local-only services (e.g. paperless)
    • crowdsec on traefik for the rest (sadly it blocks my VPN IPs also)
    • Authelia over everything that doesn't break the native apps (jellyfin and home assistant are the two that it breaks so far, and HA was very intermittent so I made a separate authelia rule and mobile DNS entry for slightly reduced rules)
    • proper umask rules on all docker directories (or as much as possible)
    • main drive FDE with a separate boot drive with FDE keyfile on a dongle that is removed except for updates and booting to make snatch-and-grabs useless and compromising bootloader impractical
    • full disk encryption with passworded data drives, so even if a smash and grab happens when I leave the dongle in, the sensitive data is still encrypted and the keys aren't in memory (makes a startup script with a password needed, so no automated startups for me)

  • Isn't that sources available, not open source since they aren't allowing community contributions, or am I misunderstanding that?

    Kind of like how greyjay is source available but not open source?

  • HealthyPi will be a too option too. Much more fitness focused than pinetime or banglejs

  • So then it comes down to whether enough military personnel will have the morals to stand up to fascist orders from the executive branch and disobey them, displaying that they are at odds, or if they will simply obey unlawful, fascist orders to not get prosecuted under the UCMJ.

    Also, I would be extremely hesitant to believe that the host of pilots, mechanics, MPs, and logistics did not notice at all women and children being dragged in chains, likely crying, and if on-video behavior is anything to go by, also likely being harassed by ICE handlers and thought there was nothing wrong enough to bring it up to their COs. Cargo is quickly inspected at the very least. And the fact that they didn't have any prior clearance to land at the airport they were going to... They aren't complete idiots...

    Sorry, but these things do not happen quietly. That is like saying the train drivers and the people loading them into the cars carrying the Jews only knew they were carrying "personnel, material" and happened to be going to "a labor camp".

  • Sorry, but it doesn't matter one. single. bit. that the US military "isn't a monolithic entity" if, when it comes down to it, they act like a monolithic entity and follow corrupt, unlawful, and treasonous orders like how the USAF has been wordlessly transporting kidnapped legal residents and greencard holders to foreign countries without any semblance of legal process or even a criminal act done.

    US military personnel love saying "we don't follow unlawful orders" who have never had to make that decision until they are given an illegal order and they follow it. Just see every war that the US (and most other nations to be honest) had ever fought and what is currently going on.

    It is the exact same as the argument of ACAB. If there are 50 "good" people who actively shield, enable, and do nothing about 50 "bad" people doing horrible, illegal, and/or immoral things, you have 100 bad people.

  • Or who's eyesight it gives.

    Each blind person gets horrifying deep sea fish eyesight or the eyesight of someone committing murder and now they all are thought to be hallucinating.

  • When is the last time that a non-poor has ever gotten tried and convicted for perjury?

    It is the silent threat to keep poor people honest in court while allowing rich people and lawyers to lie their hearts out and use it for publicity because "they wouldn't lie under oath"

  • I have been happy with PrivateVPN, but I can't get a read on them.

    They say no-log, but many VPNs probably lie about that. Small, based in Sweden.

    I just saw on the kumo app literally just now that they got bought out by Miss Group and are no longer independent like when I started with them in 2019.

    They have no strikes against them besides the not-disclosed buyout. No idea if I should switch, but they have good prices and port forwarding.
