    1. I have a GL.iNet Flint 2. It’s very easy to use. It makes it easy to install VPNs, Wireguard or OpenVPN as well as Tailscale support. It has an Adguard feature built in or you can use a custom DNS service. The one thing I dislike is the inability to setup VLANs (if I’m mistaken I would love to be informed how to set one up).
    2. I use GMaps WV to look up stuff on Google Maps if it’s not on OSM, then I’ll route with Organic Maps with Sherpa Onnx TTS.
    3. I have heard Uber works well in the browser
    4. Use a Wyze Video Doorbell 1 flashed with the Thingo firmware
    5. Material Files is probably the closest you’ll get
    6. Immich, Aves, or Ente photos
    7. Lawnchair launcher. Hypatia is discontinued now
    8. Don’t worry about the licensing with Futo if you’re still using closed source apps, you’ll just hinder yourself. Look up FUTO on YouTube or Louis Rossmann to understand why they made the licensing that way.
    9. Soon WhatsApp will have interoperability with Signal, use Signal.
    10. OpenTracks. Strava has had many many privacy issues. Privacy issues that can turn into security issues in person.
    11. If I require the use of a non privacy respecting app I’ll put it on it’s own profile.

    I will finish by saying you should evaluate what’s actually necessary vs a convenience. You’ll find that you can do without some features that you may use once in a blue moon or can be done less conveniently with a cable, etc.




  • I started playing it for the first time last year and didn’t know really anything about it. I immediately noticed that how people talked didn’t seem respectful and it all seemed over the top comical. I learned that it was an English localization issue. I found the mod Yakuza Restored which makes it in Japanese but fixes the English subtitles to be accurate and the game was very enjoyable to play from that point on. I haven’t beaten it yet but I like how the main character is principle driven, it makes the story quite enjoyable.

    Nothing in that article suggests Proton doesn’t care about privacy. Every country has laws that must be abided by. Their verbage on not logging IPs was misleading but not inaccurate as they weren’t until ordered to by law. At that point the law was able to find the person because of lack of opsec on the perp’s part.

    Besides that, to my knowledge all of Proton is open source and encrypted. It has been audited and proven to be secure.

    Quit letting politics ruin our collective privacy by suggesting to people that Proton is now an evil company. They support Trump because they think his business policies will benefit their company. True or false as that may be their company is still great for privacy and we shouldn’t be infighting about that.
