  • If so it can still be forked because it's open source. So not an issue imo

  • Why not use KDE connect instead and skip the cloud?

  • Then you even have less privacy. Heard if UBO registers?

  • What are some privacy mistakes you've made?

  • Having an Iranian close friend. They're culturally in no way aware of why privacy is useful and important. So I have a complete profile on his phone with all my private data that's synced to every service that syncs contact details. My pics and videos are uploaded to big tech and used to train AI because of the functions they provide to improve quality or made other modifications.

  • Looks like a hacky and far from perfect approach here. In the gap where you lose your VPN connection and the script triggers, there's a timeframe that your torrent software will leak a lot of data. A better approach here is to enforce only VPN connections via your firewall. Whitelist outgoing connections to your VPN destination, blacklist the rest. On Linux make the torrent systemd unit also have a dependency on the VPN connection, that it: your torrent service won't start if the VPN service isn't active. So in case your VPN disables at some point,the firewall will still do its work.

  • +1 for urlcheck and add Rethink firewall for me

  • If the US stayed out of other countries politics and there were no coups or installation of people favorable to the US what would the world look like?

    Jump

  • You've got a good point there but limiting it just to the west shows your lack of understanding about world politics. The imperialist approach is present in many parts of the world and throughout old and recent history. Besides the west, Russia (warning: propagandists incoming) is doing that with neighboring countries and in Africa, just like China and other African countries are doing that too in Africa. Rwanda in Congo for example. China to Hong Kong and Taiwan. Japan and their massacres during WWII. Morocco in the Sahara region. Israel in Palestine, and vice versa Hamas to Israel. In Islamic countries: sunnies vs sjiets (or however it's written).

    So your point of view is a bit too brainwashed around the west I'm afraid. Lots of governments trying to subjugate other countries for wealth and power benefits.

  • Bidet anyone?

  • There's tops you can buy really cheap that you can put in a bottle and have a very cheap bidet. I think for many people it's a struggle to change their mind that this is also OK and it doesn't have to cost thousands of $$$

  • What is your "I could have been rich" story?

    Jump

  • Same, I just had no cash. I was very much involved in the discussions around it though.

  • Is Telegram really an encrypted messaging app?

    Jump

  • Functionality-wise it definitely is, but secure wise no. There's probably same kind of tracking for profit going on in the background like with WhatsApp and signal. SimpleX is a better alternative privacy and security wise, but it's still in heavy development

  • Well, he caused this himself in the end, he failed to deliver on the part of secure and private messaging because default chats are insecure and secret chats are a buggy joke. If he delivered in the promise of providing a real secure and private messenger and did real effort to fight against spam, then things mind have turned out differently. Decentralization should also have been part of it.

    In the end, he chose for fancy features instead.

  • I can't explain, perhaps due to my limited knowledge about the subject. I understood that compression was a weakening factor for encryption years ago when I heard about it. Always good to do your own research in the end 🙃

  • Do you still use older storage for archives/backups etc?

  • The big benefit theism often gives is the sense of community. Atheism should do that more often too, so people are not forced to become religious for the sake of having a community.

    But that's a bit besides your question 🙃

  • Is it good practice to run a system without a syslog daemon?

    Jump

  • I also don't like the duplication of logs in journald and syslog, so I always disable forwarding to syslog

  • Encryption and compression don't play well together though. You should consider that when storing sensitive files. That's why it's recommended to leave compression off in https because it weakens the encryption strength
