Headline was a bit confusing. How does destroy improve the economy? Ads

Does it? Seems like one of many small, old, mostly forgotten systems. Nothing against them. Cool project for fun and tinkering with another kernel, but to whom would it be promising? Or is this just some random bot account that posts random shit?

Me too, but my library must not be nearly as impressive.

Wow! I thought my NAS was loaded, but good lord. What are you storing?

Depends what you mean by “fine”. Tor will still guarantee anonymity through the three-hop model, and no they cannot see the contents of your traffic. But it really depends on your risk tolerance. The real problem in this scenario is traffic analysis.

I’m not sure how the video stream packets look in that scenario but they may still be able to infer through protocol or density that some video is streaming and block that. Again, without knowing what is in the stream.

But you have to be cautious about other attackers in the network targeting your device. Those risks can circumvent all sorts of safety you might think you have.

It is at least positive how forthright they are about its use in their process.

A bit of a tautology.

Sort of, but it isn’t in my view very well deserved. There is certainly quite a bit of FUD here in the fediverse, but sometimes it feels manufactured.

The CEO has made, and partially walked back, some statements favoring right wing groups, but it was mostly antitrust stuff, so I think it is mostly rich person doing rich person things.

But they claim to be politically neutral, and they are a Swiss company which already puts it in a tier above anything hosted in many other western countries.

The services themselves are technically very well done, and the applications for using them are also very good. They have a new drive cli which is good. The password manager is great. VPN is good too. The mail bridge they provide is also very good if you want to use third party mail apps but with the benefit of their encryption.

There are other services that compete strongly on each of those and more, but I don’t think any do when considering the full suite.

Fortunately it’s that awe inspiring battery technology where the power can be remotely stored and transmitted over millions of kilometers.

I think Proton is quite good. They lack one feature that I need, which is integrated contacts on mobile, but once they add that, it will be a complete package.

2026 is weird, but the rest of the rawring 20’s are going to be a complete mindfuck.

To clarify, I’m not saying any demographic is above poor privacy concerns. But there is a subtle difference between laziness / difficulty understanding how to mitigate the threat and the believe that it isn’t a threat but an okay behavior, however subtle that difference is. I don’t want to sound like an old man tilting at windmills and blaming things on the youth. I actually think it is a problem that they are just suffering, not responsible for.

My guess is most are very young. Goes to show our civil liberties worldwide, especially since 9/11, have eroded tremendously. Young people have grown up in a world where privacy is a joke and government spying is a foregone conclusion.

They added a username feature a long time ago that makes finding each other very reliable.

Maybe, but that number seems arbitrary. Keys are a bit easier to misplace, but phones are more likely to break in a drop. Both need replaced infrequently. When a key is lost, often locks must be rekeyed, meaning new keys for everybody; maybe that’s 5:1. One allows specific keys for specific users. There are of course pros and cons to each. I’m just saying listing all these steps seems to belabor the point.

For a first time open on a new phone sure. But then your comparing it to make requisition for new key blanks, await delivery from manufacturer (could even include mining and smelting), send blanks for cut, cut key, await delivery, document who received which serial number, deliver key to you, put key in key hole, twist key… I mean, I get they’re making a point, but I think it is a bit over inclusive. Login to lock app, unlock door.

I’m not saying that wrt phones only. But credit cards get skimmed and various other atm pranks. Loads of infrastructure takedowns. Zero days released into the wild with viruses attached. All sorts of shenanigans.
