Yeah but that means users need to go get a different launcher (technically, since it’s a fork to a new project) than the one that they have installed. The already installed launcher will just continue with a new license.

It got sold to a new company and the original dev left…they can just release it under a new license if they want, so whatever license it once was released under could be irrelevant when they did a new release/update.

Don’t even plug in your shitty ISP router, they always suck. Always use your own router directly, don’t just put theirs in bridge mode.

It’s absolute bullshit that they refuse to reopen when the user reaches out for a solution. Just replying with an autoreply, probably without even actually looking in to it, telling the user to basically fuck off is as scummy as it gets.

it needs to be done right to be secure and I’m afraid I will not be able to do it right and won’t even know it until it is too late

Most self hosting needs are fulfilled sufficiently without really exposing anything outside your own LAN, so that’s basically no more insecure than your home PC.

I’ve heard of locking/freezing accounts, but the only case where a person got identified (that I’ve heard of) was because the user used their apple ID mail for recovery and got identified that way from the information handed over.

My bad, didn’t notice the different username

Just drop it (both of you)…at this point you’re just a sea lion and a troll exchanging messages.

Ingogni is super suspicious and I don’t believe what they claim to do is even possible. But to me it’s what they claim to do that makes them suspicious, and that’s and entirely different thing than what proton does, and at least proton has documented audits to back up their privacy claims. INB4 the links to articles talking about proton complying with law enforcement requests, every company does that, even respected ones like mullvad. It’s not important that they hand over information they’re legally required to, it’s important that they save as little as possible so they can hand over everything without identifying you.

And also, any privacy conscious service is never better than your own opsec, so if you get caught because your recovery email was your apple ID, that’s on you and not them.

You’re using redundancy and backup synonymously, but they’re not. Raid 1+ absolutely provides redundancy, you are 100% wrong in saying that it doesn’t, because it provides a failover system that prevents operational interruption if a drive fails.

Unless you’re building just now, those 128GB would’ve cost very little.

It is not legal to force tracking or payment. Tracking has to be voluntary and privacy may never be conditional of payment.

Yes I know, and it’s legal in many other places…what’s your point? I am not allowed to state that this shitty behavior is illegal (albeit mostly unenforced) somewhere that is closely related to the location of this particular website?

This is hella illegal in EU, though I’ve seen many EU sites do it.

It’s extremely common…most production lines I’ve ever been to only do manual updates on equipment, if any at all.

Lineage updates are the most seamless I’ve ever seen

Really!? I always had to fiddle for an eternity with magisk to get things working again when I updated lineage. It drove my nuts to the point of me avoiding updating.

Definitely this…never ever do anything personal from company issued devices. I barely even let my work laptop access my WiFi when WFH.

Aah you talking India specific, I was talking from a European perspective given the context of the posts I replied to originally.

What does withdrawing cash have to do with owning a phone?

No phone it is then…
