In developed countries where people don't get arrested for wrongthink mullvad is great, I'm just saying, be prepared if you plan on going to a place with a censorship firewall
It's just numbers, no punctuation marks, no letters, no math symbols. No entropy really.
For most people that's not an issue, but some people out there can guess them.
one way to mitigate that problem is simply to not load your mullvad account with more than 1 year of time at any given time. If your mullvad account has like...10 years of time then yeah, lots of people are going to mootch if they figure out which number has that
Or even if they don't mootch, they could just remove the devices on your account and fuck with you
Mullvad is much friendlier to privacy, but their proxies get blocked by A LOT of stuff, they also have a very small number of proxies. Mullvad collects literally nothing about you, but that's a double edged sword. not having any way to verify exactly who paid money into which account number means they can't help you if someone steals your account. I also have it on good authority that mullvad isn't very reliable at getting past more aggressive censorship firewalls. the one in china for example won't allow you to use mullvad unless the sim you're connecting from is a US one.
Proton doesn't record anything you're doing with their VPN and they've had to prove that many times and their "sentinel" program and the 2FA and double password you can enable make it very hard if not impossible for someone to mootch off your account. I very rarely get blocked by anything when I use proton VPN, if I ever do get blocked I just have to change the proxy I'm on. I don't even have to change the location most of the time because proton VPN has a huge number of proxies at each location.
Proton also gives you the ability to save recovery phrases and recovery files if you lose your password(s) or your 2FA
ente auth and ageis auth are great for storing your 2FAs and they allow you to back them up to a file if your account with ente fails in some way or if you forget the password to get into your ageis
as for those recovery files and phrases I talked about. save them in text files on a small capacity flash drive that you don't use for anything else
I don't support any kind of centralized control over anything. So I don't support the EU
I like systems where you have inalienable rights from something like the US constitution, but then each town being a self-governing local community.
It's much harder to bribe policitians when there's significantly more of them you'd need to bribe. And it's harder to get away with taking a bribe when everyone you're serving knows who you are
the post is too much for me to read right now. Every youtuber I like is constantly getting demonetized and/or having their revenue stolen. So I watch with some heavy duty adblocking filters on multiple levels.
And then for let's plays where each video in a playlist is 40 minutes or more I use alternative front-ends exclusively
Okay, so I looked into it. Andy Yen just said that republicans would be more likely to crack down on the censorship that big tech is always doing compared to what the democrats would do.
The Biden administration tried to start the "Board of Misinformation" Yes, that's right, the same people who lied to start every war in my lifetime were going to arbitrate who is and isn't telling the truth and possibly even lock people up for saying otherwise.
What's the word for that again? The word for a government that arrests people for saying things they don't want them to say?
Why with the downvotes? You're okay with the government dictating what you can and can't say? Is that it?
Whenever I see the front page while I'm signed out I just see nothing but "ORANGE MAN BAD! ELON BAD!"
alright, don't you want to talk about things you enjoy? do you actually enjoy anything at all? or do you want to live in that miserable place where you do nothing but feel hatred all the time?
I'm not a fan of Trump or Elon either. But there's other shit you could be posting about that's better for your mental health, don't you think?
