I’ve heard this before but don’t understand how it works… Eventually they’ll need to pay it off, no? So they sell stocks to pay the loan?

Find me a new phone with dual front facing speakers and I’ll give up my pixel 3.

At this point, I’m pretty sure all my information is already public.

With all the breaches and everyone selling information to anyone with cash, do you really think there’s a point? I didn’t have an Equifax account in 2017 but I had a credit card, cellphone, etc and I can’t opt out of my info being sent there…

If the site fails to load, they provide a mirror on their actual blog. The one linked by OP took over a second to load for me.

Running curl piped to bash with sudo has become pretty common. Just run this one line to install software or repos+keys that are later used to install software. That along with most older articles starting with turning off SELinux make me sad.

I think the most important part is to take your time and understand what you’re doing before you do it. Tech savvy admins can also be caught if they’re in a rush or just blindly trust AI without confirming the command is safe.

I’m interested in this as well. If you figure something out can you let me know?

I’ve bridged my SMS/MMS to a matrix chat server and call forward my number to a VoIP provider. This phone stays at home 100% of the time.

I have a data only plan and use “acrobits: VoIP SIP softphone” for calls and “elements” for all my messages. When I travel I just get a local data sim and can use my Canadian number like I’m in Canada.

There’s also https://jmp.chat/ but I’ve never used it.

Huh, no, I had no idea that was there. Thank you.

I have /home/username/username/ and I sym link important dirs (like Downloads) to my new home. I strongly dislike all the dot files and dirs cluttering up my home dir.

Yup

It’s not so much about the ports, its about what you’re running that’s accessible to the public.

If you have a single website on 443 and SSH on 22 (or a non-standard port like 6543) you’re generally considered safe. This is 2 services and someone would need to attack one of the two to get in.

If you have a VPN on 4567 and everything behind the VPN then someone would need to hack the VPN to get in.

If you have 100 different things behind 443 then someone just needs to find a hole in one to get in.

Generally ssh, nginx, a VPN are all safe and they should be on their own ports.

NC is kind of a pain to run and tries to do far to much. I’d pick different software to run than adding addons to nextcloud.

That being said, I add contacts and calendar and use it to sync to my PC/Phone

Thanks, I removed the pic but left the link for context.

Edit: apparently this is really bad google translation.

I have a gen 5 with 1TB storage and a larger battery. My only complaint is the connector. I’ll replace it with USB-C eventually.

Or because they got what they wanted a different way.

I’m early 30s and my wife is pregnant with our first.

Before I met her 5+ years ago I had no interest in kids, not to the point of considering a vasectomy but I didn’t want kids. I planned to travel and do your typical no responsibility shenanigans. It was clean pretty early on she wanted kids and that really got me thinking what I actually wanted out of life. I’m happy I didn’t end it over kids and I’m super excited to go through this with not only her but a child. The plan is to have more than one and I’m 100% excited for this.

All of that being said, if things went differently, I’d still be happy living a no kids life. My opinion never really changed, I’m almost 99% sure I’ll avoid other peoples kids but I’m also excited for mine.

Do you test public WiFi with ZeroTier at all?

I ask because there’s a few public networks where WG won’t connect and I’m trying to find ways around it. I could always use cell data but this is more fun to me.

I know this doesn’t answer your question but I’ve never had this kind of problem with Usenet. I pay $35 USD a year and bought a couple “lifetime” memberships 6 years ago.

What others have said should help solve the problem with torrents. If you can, it might be worth getting an account with a private site.

I don’t
