What's this you've said to me, my good friend? Ill have you know I graduated top of my class in conflict resolution, and Ive been involved in numerous friendly discussions, and I have over 300 confirmed friends. I am trained in polite discussions and I'm the top mediator in the entire neighborhood. You are worth more to me than just another target. I hope we will come to have a friendship never before seen on this Earth. Don't you think you might be hurting someone's feelings saying that over the internet? Think about it, my friend. As we speak I am contacting my good friends across the USA and your P.O. box is being traced right now so you better prepare for the greeting cards, friend. The greeting cards that help you with your hate. You should look forward to it, friend. I can be anywhere, anytime for you, and I can calm you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my chess set. Not only am I extensively trained in conflict resolution, but I have access to the entire group of my friends and I will use them to their full extent to start our new friendship. If only you could have known what kindness and love your little comment was about to bring you, maybe you would have reached out sooner. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now we get to start a new friendship, you unique person. I will give you gifts and you might have a hard time keeping up. You're finally living, friend.

You got it almost right, the game "west of loathing" does have a bread-based class if I remember correctly

You can use the advanced mode of ublock to replace noscript too

Tenkard ,

This is what I think: You cannot be 100% private, but you can be 95% private. Most of the tracking I want to avoid is from websites, mail and my devices OS.

With ublock origin in advanced mode, thunderbird + Protonmail, Linux (I'm dual booting and also have a windows VM for the things not working on Linux) and a VPN I can reach a satisfying amount of privacy without wasting too much time and effort. I'm also hosting an unfederated matrix server for private communications but I rarely use it.

To have better privacy than this I'd need a lot more effort, but the return wouldn't be big enough, so I'm good. The only other thing I'd like to do is switching to a phone with grapheneOS or something like that.

Search engines such as Google need to rank results in some way, to decide which ones to display on top.

This algorithm changes depending on new developments, both cultural and technical, see Google recently putting results from reddit firsts.

One typical way to do this is checking "how many other websites are pointing at this result", and since traffic is money, people try to game the algorithm by creating fake websites which links to the one they want to push.

Same, 2k laptop with a 3070 ti and I cant even remember what game is installed there

Tenkard ,

I use a self hosted vpn because my main reason to use a vpn is avoiding monitoring from my isp and whoever is managing the local network, and I don't want websites to know where I'm located.

Tenkard ,

Yes. I used it too for a year but the clients were bad

Tenkard ,

Bitwarden apps have been open source since the beginning, mobile + backend + web

Tenkard ,

Put ublock in advanced mode https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Advanced-user-features and test if it's enough for you. I use it this way and I'm pretty happy with it

Tenkard ,

It's normal to track crashes and utilization to make software better, I don't think they tracked to sell data for advertising in bitwarden case

vpn on nextcloud? (kbin.social)

I plan to selfhost nextcloud, for now just for bookmark sync. is there a point to installing a vpn on the computer running the instance? it shouldnt matter as long as i have https right? what about if i dont have a domain? i cant have https without a domain (ill buy one later just want everything to work first). or maybe use one...

Tenkard ,

It's an extra layer of security. Your nextcloud instance won't be reachable from anybody who isn't on your vpn, if a bug which allows unauthorized access gets discovered you will be protected, if they steal your nextcloud credentials you will be protected, but if you're on a device without the vpn you won't be able to access nextcloud.
As for the domain you can buy a random xyz for a couple of bucks per year so just do it
