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.
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.
Are there really that many terrible drivers out there?
I see so many YouTube videos of people running blatantly red lights and getting in accidents or other videos of people stopped and gunning it backwards, hitting something, then they put it in drive and launch full speed forwards and hit something else. What is going through these peoples mind? I just don't get how there is such a high quantity of these videos.
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.
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
Yea this too. If you are ever debating doing this search you up some aftermath pictures. People's femurs break and their feet are up by their face. Just don't do it.
LPT: If someone makes an inappropriate joke you don't like then play dumb. This will wreck the joke and might even get them to stop.
If someone you know constantly makes reproductive anatomy or other borderline jokes and you think they should stop just play dumb. After the joke just say (with a straight face) that you don't get it. When they have to explain it it the joke satisfaction is gone and then more technical words need to be used to explain it making red flags pop up for them and anyone listening. They might get in trouble and you won't need to confront the behavior directly.
Works especially well in the military (even better if it's a superior).
pfsense multiple VPN destinations and split DNS
I’ve been tooling around with this for a few days now and I think I stumbled into a couple pretty useful things.
1.) having multiple VPN destinations with proton (because proton wont just load balance you to country specific plus servers):
If you already have a working openvpn config you can go to the custom options and add this to it at the bottom:
remote x.x.x.x 1194; remote y.y.y.y 1194; remote-random;
where x.x.x.x and y.y.y.y are different proton VPN IPs or DNS names. I picked plus servers because for some reason proton doesnt have us-plus.protonvpn.com or any country based DNS entry that just does that for you.
I was manually changing VPN IPs when each one would go down for maintenance and that got old quick.
2.) Split DNS
Maybe you want to have your firewall do DNS lookups for VPN tunnel establishment and then have your clients route their DNS through the tunnel to 10.8.8.1 to stream BUT you need your pfsense box to be the DNS option because you have a host override ent
YSK that putting anything on the airbag of your steering wheel will become a projectile if you crash and can seriously harm or kill you or a passenger.
Why YSK: An airbag typically deploys at 100-200 MPH and if your phone is sitting there it will be launched towards you and probably impale you. Don't put your phone on your steering wheel over your airbag. Don't put any alternate logos or bedazzling on your airbag. Basically don't do anything to or put anything on your airbag because anything you put on it will launch on impact.
Shameless crosspost from my reddit as I move over.
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.
Why aren't US voting machines open source?
I see stories about how election is rigged or that there are security vulnerabilities and lots of people don't believe the outcome. Why don't they just open source everything so that anyone can look at the code and be sure the votes are tallied correctly?
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.
