Mullvad is much friendlier to privacy, but their proxies get blocked by A LOT of stuff, they also have a very small number of proxies. Mullvad collects literally nothing about you, but that's a double edged sword. not having any way to verify exactly who paid money into which account number means they can't help you if someone steals your account. I also have it on good authority that mullvad isn't very reliable at getting past more aggressive censorship firewalls. the one in china for example won't allow you to use mullvad unless the sim you're connecting from is a US one.

Proton doesn't record anything you're doing with their VPN and they've had to prove that many times and their "sentinel" program and the 2FA and double password you can enable make it very hard if not impossible for someone to mootch off your account. I very rarely get blocked by anything when I use proton VPN, if I ever do get blocked I just have to change the proxy I'm on. I don't even have to change the location most of the time because proton VPN has a huge number of proxies at each location.

Proton also gives you the ability to save recovery phrases and recovery files if you lose your password(s) or your 2FA

ente auth and ageis auth are great for storing your 2FAs and they allow you to back them up to a file if your account with ente fails in some way or if you forget the password to get into your ageis

as for those recovery files and phrases I talked about. save them in text files on a small capacity flash drive that you don't use for anything else

not sure about a laser disk scan. It's just a DVD box set that came included with the un-remastered editions in the bonus disk

I don't support any kind of centralized control over anything. So I don't support the EU

I like systems where you have inalienable rights from something like the US constitution, but then each town being a self-governing local community.

It's much harder to bribe policitians when there's significantly more of them you'd need to bribe. And it's harder to get away with taking a bribe when everyone you're serving knows who you are

I have copies of the second remastering box set that came included with the original un-remastered editions. What do I use to copy off those?

I keep process explorer open to monitor ram, GPU and CPU usage all the time

Livvy Dun?

It's me, I'm the Rizzler

No cat can ever be too photogenic

I don't drink alcohol, and I think I have a food aversion to all of that.

NextDNS and ReThinkDNS might be helpful, mullvad DNS, adguard DNS, also helpful

For sure. But I’ve repeatedly raised the point of how we need defensive infrastructure here in hopes that someone has the means and know-how to implement it

you can't do that without KYC, with KYC enforced across Lemmy, atthat point, lemmy would be just as bad as Facebook and Instagram

That's the same kind of bullshit Nicky Haley wanted to do.

Paid shills/trolls are here on Lemmy too

and don't think for a second that there aren't any government agents lurking around here, you'd be a moron to not realize that

maybe physically absent. but they heard and saw everything that happened there

Edit: in addition, the frustration isn’t you personally dying in some pvp, but your group of 8 friends you’re also holding back on fights. In addition to lowering damage, deaths can wear down your healers mp(and significantly lower your own damage output) so some tight mechanics can be harder to react, especially if your brain has you move wrong at first. None of these by themselves are terrible, but over the course of 3 hours working at clearing multiple fights it can wear you out and kill your enjoyment.

I don't even do PVP in anything anymore. It's too stressful to be the only one who's trying to win while the other team is a group of friends that are full of gear I can't get. Between that and the people who actually cheat to win, I just can't do it anymore.

How do I know they cheat? because my attacks registered with a pretty high amount of damage and their health didn't go down even one bit. Other times, the same attacks with the same character will wipe out each enemy player I attack and it requires the entire other team to focus on just me for me to die

I like to play as stealth classes and I'm good at going to places most people don't check, you should see how I play Gmod prop hunt. I'm great at it

the post is too much for me to read right now. Every youtuber I like is constantly getting demonetized and/or having their revenue stolen. So I watch with some heavy duty adblocking filters on multiple levels.

And then for let's plays where each video in a playlist is 40 minutes or more I use alternative front-ends exclusively

To human perception a 0.1 seconds isn't much different than 0.03 seconds

I forgot if it was you I asked about this or not. But are you sure the one with slightly less ping time isn't just cheating?

I guess I don't really play any games where that tiny difference in ping time matters THAT much...That's less time than most people can even measure without tools

Final Fantasy 14? Don't know what MCH is, never heard of Wildfire

that little of a difference really matters? Are you sure that the one with a tiny bit less ping isn't just cheating?

100 ping? you seriously can't play with a tenth of a second ping time? Sounds like you're a shitty gamer making excuses
