What security implications?

You serious? I nearly cried watching what was happening in Ukraine early in 2022. You are making bad assumptions here. But if you want to put it into perspective… think about what …

Surveillance on internet use in China probably results in many visits to forced labour camps. Or worse. Imagine the Chinese people agreed and voted for their great firewall, wouldn…

Ok, I may have made an incorrect assumption (sorry). But, do you have a method which results in the data being accessible to anyone other than the account owner? I don’t know exact…

Thank you. Is there any way you can share the exact things you do or provide when you are forced by a court order to give data about someone?

Tor onion service relays are mostly on VPS. And those VPS are mostly American. The number of tutorials I have seen about spinning up a tor relay on a VPS is crazy. These tutorials …

And indirect, through the use of manufactured ‘uprisings’ which the West are great at. But really, you can go back many more decades than that. Innocent lives are not something the…

Why don’t you instead look at the number of people killed throughout the globe as a result of China and then compare that to the number with the West. Literally soul destroying. As…

It’s not a stupid question. But to think that it will make people more safe is double think. Right wing dictorship is on the rise across Europe and the World. No-one knows the futu…

PGP encryption should be taught in school. Ingrained. Data privacy used to be trampled on with the fear of ‘terrorism’, but the Americans blasted the airwaves with the word so much…

Not really, no. Unless you want to self-host in your own home hardware.

Can you explain more about this, I am clueless to this? Appreciated!

Cool idea. But, if I personally wanted that functionality I would code my own solution with a shell script I think (because it is super easy to do).

Listen, if you don’t trust their ProtonDrive - GPG encrypt before uploading. If you don’t trust their email, GPG your message and paste it in or include as an attachment. There are…

I have been with Protonmail since 2014. And I feel that they are essentially now the same as any other company which makes loads of dollar - they give up their values. Don’t get me…

‘Meta executives’ and ‘privacy’ - I wasn’t born yesterday.

I agree with your impression. It reminds me.. when someone is cheating on a partner, they are more likely to think they are being cheated on too. I have experienced this, being acc…

I actually found it easier understanding the openbsd router than pfsense when I tried it. The abstraction confused me personally.

I did not know this, but I knew that tomatoes taste superior when left out of the fridge. The strange thing is when the packaging on tomatoes says to store in the fridge.

Is something like that really that necessary though, sure it has a lot of features but for a simple router it takes 15mins to follow a guide on openbsd.org to set up a simple route…

For SSH, changing to a random port number resulted in zero connection attempts from bots for months on end. It seems bots just never bother scanning the full 65535 port range.

Wow. The user agent they are using is so shady. But I am surprised they thought someone wouldn’t do just what the blog poster did to uncover the deception - that part is what surpr…
