What you’re talking about is basically an encrypted backup. Seedvault does exactly that, it’s included in many custom ROMs, including GrapheneOS.

The higher the number, the newer the generation of USB. Mostly it means they have faster data transfer speeds and can output more power when charging devices.

Yes.

Sudo: Always uses the root user to get access to run a command, no matter which user you want to run the command as. Doas: Uses the user you want to run the command as to actually get access to run the command.

Not really. It’s more similar to if the webserver was connected to the internet through a VPN with it’s HTTP(S) port forwarded through the VPN. You connect to the VPN’s IP address, which forwards to the webserver’s IP which stays hidden. And you yourself are also connected to the internet through a (separate) VPN. Now, instead of a VPN connection, both you and the webserver are connected to the internet through Tor circuits.

This video does a good job of explaining how it works.

When a regular website is visited through Tor Browser, Tor protects/anonymizes you as a user. If a website is hosted at an onion address, the web server is also protected by Tor, the same way as you are.

I’d say container platforms/serverless hosting. The boat element (container ship) represents Docker/containers, and the car element represents the fact that, in the end everything is still reliant on physical servers, so it’s not really serverless per se.

Because it’s my money they’re paid from.

Lots of things.

I’d start a YouTube channel to document my travel life, but Google.

I’d use LinkedIn to expand my professional network, but Micro$lop.

I’d join communities related to my hobbies that mostly exist in FB groups or subreddits, but, yeah.

There are also things I still do, although differently. Like using Google Maps to view detailed information about places, like accessibility, restaurant reviews etc. But I only do it through a browser, and I use CoMaps for navigation. Or banking apps, due to convenience. Or the GoPro Quik app so I can remotely control my GoPro when I mount it on the outside of my car. Or music streaming services.

Surveillance sucks, but I try to find compromises that I can live with when needed. I can live with some inconvenience, but to a degree.

The camera doesn’t matter, the photographer behind it does. Great pic!

Soooo, which distro to switch to next? Or are they all gonna go down this route eventually? Maybe I’ll try a *BSD for once.

No you’re not! :D

I disagree. In fact, I actually think that anything that can be said, has been said by someone, even if only one person.

And here’s the degoogled link:

And when it does, the windscreen turns blue.

One simple way to run a Tor bridge: The Snowflake extension. It’s a browser extension that runs whenever you use your browser.

Maybe we could use Bitcoin to buy pizza? I’m sure we won’t regret it in 10 years!

Oh well, they did in the past.

Several of the big privacy people have recommended them online, e.g. Techlore, so I’d say yes. Though it’s been a couple years since I saw those reviews, and I haven’t read up on them recently.

EDIT: Grammar.

Not entirely true. I’ve done the research. It’s difficult, yes, but some places in the world allow it. E.g. Scandinavian countries.
