    They also doubled down on it with the official proton accounts and left privavy-focused social media in favor of corporate censored social media, specifically.

    Trump is good is the official position of the company now since they doubled down.

    It really really calls into question if they are lying about their company’s values and it is just marketing. People seem to give them extra leeway because they are swiss and the whole “neutrality” BS, but nestle is one of the worst companies in the entire world and they are swiss 😅






  • I have a phone with 128GB of space and an SD card with 256GB. To update to 256GB internal would have cost 250€ because price reductions often only happen on base models.

    I have used 86GB of internal with the rest on the SD. That is near-zero photos, a few streaming playlists, 2 game apps, and almost no documents. Apps take up ridiculous amounts of space now because devs don’t give a fuck about space.

    On my SD card I have used up 154GB of 256GB.

    My music library, all of my photos and videos are stored directly on the SD card, backups from apps, etc…

    See how 154 + 86 is way more than 128 and a 256GB SD card cost 30€ while to upgrade to 256GB internal would be more than 800% the cost? And the sum above would be at the limit of 256GB anyway? They didn’t offer a 512GB model.

    The added benefit of if my phone dies or gets destroyed, the chance that I can just pull my SD card out and have all of my needed info including backups of my TOTP codes and everything without having to go to a multi-hundred euro recovery service.


  • I would like to see the stats on that. A lot of times people who are in the industry or know someone in it see their wages and others’ wages going up and say “wages went up with inflation” where the starting wage or the wage normalized to seniority level actually hasn’t changed much at all. For example, in engineering like electriical (outside of silicon valley in the US which has its own economical wage ecosystem) has had entry level positions that have gone up around 20% since the 2008 while inflation has gone up almost 50% since 2008 and productivity has skyrocketed with CAD advancements.


  • Yes, but the difference is that wages have not significantly gone up since then apart from minimum wage in a few states. That is the difference. People are literally poorer because of the massively increased wealth inequality coming from employers shoving down wages while making yearly record profits…

    If peoples’ purchasing power is more or less the same, factoring in inflation to game prices would result in a ton of people simply not being able to buy “luxury goods” like video games.


  • Dropping instead of blocking might technically be better because it wastes a bit more bot time and they see it as “it doesn’t exist” rather than an obsticle to try exploits on. Not sure if that is true though.

    For me:

    • ssh server only with keys

    • absolutely no ssh forwarding, only available to local network via firewall rules

    • docker socket proxy for everything that needs socket access

    • drop non-used ports, limit IPs for local-only services (e.g. paperless)

    • crowdsec on traefik for the rest (sadly it blocks my VPN IPs also)

    • Authelia over everything that doesn’t break the native apps (jellyfin and home assistant are the two that it breaks so far, and HA was very intermittent so I made a separate authelia rule and mobile DNS entry for slightly reduced rules)

    • proper umask rules on all docker directories (or as much as possible)

    • main drive FDE with a separate boot drive with FDE keyfile on a dongle that is removed except for updates and booting to make snatch-and-grabs useless and compromising bootloader impractical

    • full disk encryption with passworded data drives, so even if a smash and grab happens when I leave the dongle in, the sensitive data is still encrypted and the keys aren’t in memory (makes a startup script with a password needed, so no automated startups for me)
