Signals registrar is Markmonitor and is hosted from the US. Should everyone stop using signal?

Op didn’t ask for security practices.

What is the benefit to using your own key on top of protons encryption? Why not just use your own encryption with any other provider?

This privacy community and the conspiracies or flat out misunderstandings that are coming back from the Reddit grave feel like they are coming from the anonymouse joker and Rob Braxman.

I agree the balance is difficult and I agree asking later sometimes yields different results. My for instance about a sub and corresponding question asked endlessly is the privacy guides sub where people ask something like: “I’m using brave or firefox browser how do I be more private?”

Like my man you are on a discussion sub for a website literally full of instructions and recommendations with a link to that site pinned to the top of the sub. My goodness it can barely slap you in the face any harder.

It’s not as bad as it was but the question is so vague that it almost demands follow up questions like what country, what threat model and what OS? It’s not as bad anymore but it got super old and its the questions that are too general to be helpful and repeated hundreds of times over that really depressed me to read.

The middle legs are those the horse half or the centaur half?

Asking questions that are asked all the time in a sub or are already answered in the wiki. Not doing even basic searching for information before asking.

Its been good. Can second this recommendation.

You are the first person I’ve ever heard of that referred to the framework as thicker and clunkier. That’s good for you that you buy used and have had your desktop PC running with the same processor for 4 years but also that’s upgradable. You don’t need to get a new case or power supply to upgrade components. It’s not just about upgradability but reparability in case something breaks or you break something. Even supporting second hand market a macbook only has so much life. The hardware can go EoL and no longer get software updates but your screen and keyboard still work fine. Would be great to just upgrade your chipset instead of the whole laptop because the processor is so old that companies don’t want to support it anymore.

It looks like ente.io for photo management will probably be listed on the privacy guides website soon: https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/ente-photo-management/11763

For email/calendar/drive Proton is the easy choice. I know photo upload is on their radar too but like everything with proton it will probably be a while before that’s ready to roll out.

My next laptop will be a framework. They offer parts and manuals and it is built to be fixed and upgraded instead of thrown away like almost everything else now. https://frame.work/

All of that is 100x harder than installing Graphene. Graphene can be installed by almost anyone who can watch this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAZlmYKrwfk

ICANN’s RAA says nothing about your address needing to be your home address. It can be a P.O. Box or a mail forwarding service. It just needs to be a contact address.

I’ll second porkbun. They are great.

If not porkbun then name cheap.

If not either of those anyone but godaddy.

Don’t forget to run the DEJIGAMAFLIPPER on your domain after purchase. Very important.

I think The Verge has been getting better over time. Its kind of a breath of fresh air they seem to mostly stay politically neutral and they occasionally use tasteful euphemisms while reporting very accurately. I miss Paul and Dieter but the newer people are doing great work too.

Google play music was the last straw for me. I will never depend on them for a service ever again. They just aren’t reliable.

Just going to add it does look like its available on android through izzyondroid fdroid repo. I’m not a developer and I wanted toupdates automatically as they are released so this is great.

There are so many registrars out there that consolidation really isn’t a concern.

The things some people think are relevant or important in relationships are weird.

I stand, for standing. Stanground.

But yea me too. Stand up to tiny kings.
