Full-fat VPS and roll-your-own proxy solutions are wonderful! Can you recommend a vps service that gives you the global access and a workspace for you to build your tools for your toolkit?

Most I’ve priced were either more than $6usd /month or were very, very over-provisioned, but I’m interested in learning!

Can I ask what has you subscribing toVPN’s year round? I have three use cases for my subscription

1. Torrenting
2. Bypassing weird region locks like South Korea’s age verification requirements for Google searches and naughty things.
3. Throwing all of my internet traffic back to the same country as my employer with a reliable kill switch for any VPN drops and DNS leaking.

I end up subscribed to Mullvad for maybe 5 months a year. I still end up paying less than a NordVPN subscription, I feel good about supporting Mullvad’s mission (like the ongoing development of their own browser).

I also love that I can share my subscription with other users if I needed to, just by giving them current account ID number. In this way, it would be practical to give up to five people access while still protecting all of my devices since I throw the VPN on my travel router.

I will schill for a very short list of companies, all day long, and Mullvad would be on that list twice simply because they don’t trick me into an endless subscription of any sort while all the others get committed income out of me annually.

I didn’t even know that they claim Chrome extensions will work, I simply use the Firefox extensions in Waterfox.

My browsing style is antiquated, my ADHD will only afford me about eight tabs per browser window and I usually have about four of those going at a time.

I aggressively kill tabs to save my own mental memory more than the machine’s memory.

It’s like $6.50USD /month, 2x the cost of mainstream vpn’s.

It’s valuable for me so I’m happy to pay and support them, but I’m mostly only need them while traveling.

For want of $100 /year Apple developer subscription , the libewolf team can’t sign binaries for Silicon M series Macs.

I spent an hour and a half trying to get librewolf to work, and just gave up for Waterfox instead.

On my laptop I run Firefox for some things, Watefox for others, and fall back to Chrome only as absolutely necessary when Gecko can’t get me there.

You’d better believe marketing execs and specialists in branding will divide and conquer market segments of apathetic typical people.

Addicts in recover programs can call the general population of non-addicts ‘normies’; people that have been marginalized for neurodivergent thinking often call the mainstream population of neurotypicals ‘normies’ etc.

Gatekeeping by commonly accepted language across diverse circles only serves for your own purity testing instead of focusing on the core issue of how to sell people on exercising their own basic self-interest.

Sounds like something normies would say. 🤣

Hard disagree.

You’re basically studying viral pathology and immunology at that point. Remember how restaurant little can be for making and for vaccinations in American culture?

On top of it taking the slightest effort … We basically have to settle the solutions and then invite or incentivize them into it, which is hard when you’re against disinformation networks with better fundling.

Not to say it’s hopeless. Just that the incentives in a highly individualized society captured under surveillance capitalism are misaligned.
