nutbutter,

Stingle Photos. It works only with S3.

nutbutter,

What makes you say so?

nutbutter,

I was paying $7/m for their mail, VPN and drive services. One of my major reasons to switch was their lack of linux support. They claim that it is hard to find Linux developers. Second reason was their drive’s download and upload speeds were terrible, from where I am sitting. Their VPN service is great. I always got great speeds, but their linux apps have always been terrible. Their mail service is also great, but I would like more control over it, like Mailbox.org. on Mailbox, I can encrypt my inbox using a different key, while also having the SMTP submission feature. I really ned that to integrate emails with my websites and services. Mailbox can also encrypt their cloud drive with our key, while also providing WebDAV support (how cool is that). Their mail app on android is open-source but is not available on f-droid. And the apk they provide on their website neither has a notification functionality, nor does it auto-update. Another reason was that I was limited to 3 custom domains, unless I buy their business plan. Mailbox has no such limit.

One final reason was that I did not want to keep all my apples in one basket. So, for mail, I am using mailbox, for storage, I am using a personal nextcloud and a Hetzner managed nextcloud, for VPN, I started using mullvad, but their speeds are terrible and connections are unreliable. For passwords I am using self-hosted vaultwarden.

There are a few more reasons that I do not remember, now. Proton is great, I still trust them. But these small things really go a long way.

nutbutter,

I moved from Gmail to ProtonMail, then to Mailbox.org. Ypu can set up a mailserver on your home server, but you would need a VPS that would forward the traffic to and from your home server without you needing to open any ports. This guide can help you with TLS passthrough.

But setting up your own mailserver is a big hassle. Just pay a trusted provider and keep your inbox, and preferably all emails, encrypted with GPG.

nutbutter,

For me the issue with Mullvad is like this… I connect to a server, I get good speeds, but after an hour or two, I get stuck at 2-3mbps. This issue gets resolved when I reconnect, even to the same server. Also, I like using OpenVPN over TCP, but their speeds, in Mullvad’s case, are terrible for all exit nodes.

It also may be the case that my ISP is deliberately ruining the IPv4 routes because I am connecting to a VPN for privacy.

nutbutter,

Some people even use Raspberry Pis as their NAS. I use an old MacBook (5th gen i5) as a home server with 2 external hard drives as a NAS, which also runs a few docker containers like Jellyfin. Before that, I was using an old PC with 1st gen i3 for all these things.

nutbutter,

My bank, for example, does not let us use any 2FA app we want. They have their own separate app, made for handling 2FA for that specific bank only.

And in general too, yes. Like Arogya Setu. The app we had to install to prove our vaccination status.

nutbutter,

In India, they force us to install proprietary apps, which are probably spying on us.

It's funny how google pretends the music on YouTube isn't straight up piracy and everyone just goes along with it

Most people have extremely weird ideas of what’s considered piracy and what isn’t. Downloading a video game rom is piracy, but if you pay money to some Chinese retailer for an SD card containing the roms, that’s somehow not piracy. Exploiting the free trial on a streaming site by using prepaid visa cards is somehow not...

nutbutter,

Not sure, but I think its purpose is to get get these posts appear in meta search engine results (SEO).

nutbutter,

time to buy a fake mustache hehe

nutbutter,

Don’t know, left it long ago.

nutbutter,

If this was reddit, I would have given you a trophy.

nutbutter,

Using multiple config files is a bother, plus I really need the kill switch. Is there a way to replicate it manually? I didnt’t know rcloje started supporting Proton Drive, I’ll start using it.

nutbutter,

I have been paying for Proton Unlimited for a very long time. About a year ago, they changed their prices for new users. currently it is $12/m, but I have to pay only $7.50/m, and yes, I pay monthly.

I use Proton Mail with 3 custom domains, and I am an always-on VPN user. The VPN connection is always great with good speeds, but sometimes bad pings, but have a bad Linux app (yes, the new one as well). I also use their drive, currently using ~200GB. I have never touched Proton Pass because I have a self-hosted Vaultwarden server.

But I am seriously considering discontinuing their service, specifically due to their poor Linux support. Their VPN app is shit, they don’t provide and not even developing a Linux app for Drive. But their are 2 reasons that make me continue their service. One, I do not really wish to self-host my email, and I do not want to use Tutanota, because I need Thunderbird. Two, there are no trusted VPN providers that give Indian IPs.

nutbutter,

Self-hosted Gitea. 🌈

nutbutter,

There are some websites like z-lib that still work. Also, I usually just hunt for books on search engines, sometimes I also find copies on VK.

nutbutter,

Translation? Background about this channel?

nutbutter,

Here’s what I do with Dodi an FitGirl repacks:

  1. Install wine, its dependencies, and Steam. I use Fedora, so I installed Steam using rpm-fusion’s non-free repository.
  2. Double click on the installer and install the game normally in a folder.
  3. Launch Steam and add a non-steam game. I select the .exe file used to launch the game.
  4. Right-click on the non-steam game and change its preferences to use Proton.
  5. Launch the game.

I am a vegan with a man bun IRL, but I use Fedora.

nutbutter,

I use Invidious because it does not require JavaScript.

Also, does piped always proxy the data? Some Invidious instances have the option but I have never seen it on pioed instances.

nutbutter,

Vevo channel is cheaper than you think. You can submit a music video to Vevo for $500 (last time I checked), and if it gets rejected you’ll get a refund.

nutbutter,

Please, stop spamming. Please, think before posting if it is the right channel.

nutbutter,

I have used Plex with it, and I am using Jellyfin, now. I have had no issues.
