I don’t think a vpn and mail providers can relate in this scenario.

I have heard in the past that authorities have forced (possibly proton, but I forget) to basically wiretap incoming mail before proton can encrypt it for storage on the users account (because pretty much no one sends encrypted mail in a way that only the receiver can read it).

The only data other than that, that they store is ip logs (when forced to, I believe) and recovery email addresses. They are not able to present existing encrypted mail to authorities (from before a wiretap).

This seems overblown, I don’t think theres more they can do. Users have to start sending encrypted mail from their inbox, then the wiretapping won’t be an issue (proton address to proton address can work like this I think).

Them dropping sms took away a big carrot for adoption though.

Still miss that feature everytime I get an SMS or have to send an sms if data isn’t working.

That article is stupid. Any company that receives a “legally binding order” has to comply with it… what would you expect?

Most companies aren’t going to commit a crime to protect a user (like that one dude who ran an email service and destroyed it when he was required to hand over data, forgot his name!!!). If they did, they’d be out of business…

(The article isn’t exactly dumb, but it doesn’t address this properly in my opinion. The outrage over it seems dumb to me. The government will force companies to do whatever it wants, be mad at the gov not the corpo in this case when its to apprehend a journalist or whatever… i understand if its a terrorist or similar, but this specific case may be more poopy om the gov behalf)

Not sure why people care so much, the individual can think whatever he wants, it hasn’t stopped proton from continuing on its good path (even though I don’t use them much nowadays, they are a great service with a respectable free tier).

The problem is unfettered access, not access at all.

Thanks for your reply, I will definitely keep that in mind if Seafile fails to meet any critera moving on, but yeah your last point is also right, it would probably be a big pain to migrate out at this point with all my data for multiple users here.

It seems a lot has been modernising recently, I didn’t know they were also using Go, but hopefully they continue with it for new code.

The problem is that content rights holders setup bots that track who is torrenting media that they own (all the peers they can connect to).

Then they use your ip to ask your ISP to stop you.

As far as i am aware (and possibly wrong), magnet links aren’t any more secure than using a .torrent file, it’s just another form of it that can be easily clicked (or copied) to open in your client (i’ve never looked but it might just be a link containing the info that would be in the torrent file).

NextCloud being so slow forced me to migrate to Seafile.

Seafile being less one-stop-shoppy made me not use it so much, but whenever I do it is always fast and responsive (unlike nextcloud, where 80% of the time I was looking at the loading indicator). Looking it up now though, it looks like it has a lot of new features I haven’t yet tried so I’m probably gonna start using it more now.

Only downside with Seafile is it’s deduplication (for me), because it stops me from easily accessing files directly (always gotta use a client). Likely a benefit for most though and I do rarely need to access a file directly on disk, just when I do, it’d be an easy shortcut for whatever I’m doing.

Depending on where you live, it may not matter if you don’t use a VPN, you could possibly research what usually happens in your area?

Many people never get warnings, others ignore them and nothing happens.

Usually nothing happens because ISPs don’t care if you torrent, it wastes their time and resources when studios/content owners send dmcas (or whatever) and they have to send a warning. I bet the warnings are just automated for most isps so they can mostly ignore them. ISPs also don’t want to punish their customers because then they’ll lose revenue by cutting you off.

(The ignoring part is heresay, i’m just combining info i’ve heard over the years and experience)

Some (most?) countries it’s not illegal to torrent copyrighted content either, unless you distribute it (seed).

Poopin every morning with your morning coffee (as seen on tv) is a weakness. Be proud!

Sucks when doctors just assume things, it can cost lives.

wow did not know this was a possibility https://www.wikihow.com/Regrow-Foreskin

If it’s on wikihow i’ll believe it’s real

We need them to rappel from the helicopter and swing right into your appartment through the window. This is how we save lives.

This support is provided at no cost, reflecting Akamai’s commitment to giving back to the open-source community.

Sounds like it wasn’t a choice so much as one of the biggest CDNs in the world giving a free hand out to a project it relies on itself.

Anyways a lot of companies use Akamai, I don’t think its odd.

Yeah, the numbers are different everywhere, but mosquitoes cause at least 50% of that million.

you are in luck we have the answer: https://youtu.be/aIIBBj6KR-Y

Maybe it’ll be fun enough that we’ll simply forget to explore it’s depths YAY

fun fact: animals, exluding humans, kill about 1 MILLION of us humans a year, most of which are not sea animals.

They are correct though, don’t vegans have to take suppliments to fill in on things missing from their diet? Maybe eating less meat can be a goal for humanity, but I think we still need some until lab/fake meat is yummy enough.

Edit: now i think of it, suppliments are available so maybe my comment doesnt matter.

You have signed away your doggy rights.
