🤣 you can’t make it up

SimpleLogin is hosted with Protonmail and should be viewed as an extension of it. Proton cooperates with thousands of law enforcement requests and should be viewed as a corporation and not a just open source software that’s just code.

On the other hand, AnonAddy has a better UI, better reputation, seems like just 1 developer which is more hipster, Greenhost is a more trusted host by me, and is more representative of a FOSS project. You can self host it, and F-Droid has apps for it by different random developers. SimpleLogin uses Coinbase as a crypto payment provider, which blocks Tor and is going to get the transaction run through an anti-fraud (and therefore anti-privacy) surveillance tool.

I do not support crime, I but do support a decentralized internet. Protonmail & Coinbase are more centralized than a lone hipster with Greenhost and Globee.

My Controversial Tech Picks:

Mint over Ubuntu

LibreWolf over Brave

MPV over VLC

AnonAddy over SimpleLogin

Session over Telegram/Briar

MetaGer over Duckduckgo

SimpleX over Signal

Gossip over Iris

onlyOffice over LibreWriter

KeePassXC over all mobile 2FA

XMPP over Matrix

Monocles over Conversations

AntennaPod over iTunes

Trocador over exchanges with accounts

Feather over official GUI

Farside over LibRedirect

scp command over NextCloud

KVM Virtmanager over Oracle VirtualBox

And of course, Nostr over Mastodon

Add on to my list with your picks in the comments!

(Or dispute/ask why I made a choice)

Got this S9K up and running again.

New fans are effective and an acceptable nose level in my bedroom.

Now the question:

1. Point it to Ocean pool - roughly 30% rebate on electricity used, longer than 1 year for payout.

Or

2. Point it to ckpool - all or nothing, almost certainly nothing.

Either way it's working as a space heater.

Vote below if your client supports it👇

So, uh…should we just turn off all push notifications now?

Any one having issues with Mullvad VPN on the recent MacOS?

I'm constantly getting a lost connection message on the browser and dropped/ cancelled downloads?

Refresh of the page quickly fixes the browser issue but the downloads gets annoying.

Was fine before Sanoma release.

One drawback to using a blastr relay is that I get this message a few times a day. 🤣

USB will work, but might be slow depending on the generation of USB. Hopefully it's not *so* old. You want USB 2.0 or newer.

The main risk with external USB drive on servers is accidental disconnection.

Workarounds:

• duct tape! (the universal solution!)

• some motherboards actually have USB ports right on the internal part of the board. Stick it there.

The last issue with external drives on servers is auto-mounting. You'll want to make sure the disk mounts automatically after a reboot, especially if you are setting up automated backups. Depending on the distro it might be easy or difficult.

Yeah, I mix creatine with my water.

We’ll see how sore I feel tomorrow morning.

Good to know. I use graphene a lot as well.

I also clear site data & cache both on desktop and mobile so often I'd probably lose funds regularly just by habit.

I actually tried Mutiny for the first time today and got greeted with a blank black screen on mobile after pressing the "get started" button or whatever. Was not expecting that after the "Runs on anything. We dare you" boast. Did not investigate any further.

Don’t simp. Save yourself.

#Bitcoin is the way, not a new daddy.

Yes. Their store, their rules.

I like pwa but it doesn’t scale.

You need the App Store apps to reach people.
