Okay fair enough, but that is at least slightly different than saying Proton isn’t FOSS, but I understand.

They have a pretty good FOSS standing and audits for software they distribute. While that doesn’t make it easy to host privately, it does make it trivial to see how data is shipped to their servers.

WDYM? Isn’t it?

I pay for Proton and I’m very happy with it. I think they need Contact phone integration but otherwise rock solid products. I don’t like the CEO, but generally I hate them all, so I try not to think about that. Their full suite of products has treated me well for a few years now.

Not at all saying the alternatives aren’t better, just sharing my experience.

The last reply is great.

No. You’re the only one I see implying there are no cases where data is private outside a VPN. Strictly speaking, if you need only the data across a connection to be private TLS is sufficient. Who is implying that is a complete threat model. You are building more and more strawmen against which to argue, but it really just sounds silly. I’m a professional that has been in the industry for decades, so your dick waving contest just doesn’t move me.

Yes, a more complete risk analysis in many cases may show that you’d like the host one is reaching to also be private, but nobody is saying such a situation doesn’t exist; you’re barking at the moon.

Are you saying TLS doesn’t make the data that traverses a connection private? If so, I think we’ve discovered the deficiency in your viewpoint.

e: missed a word

They didn’t say they don’t value privacy; a bit of a strawman. Most connections are private even if not anonymous. TLS is sufficient for many uses. Knowing this allows one to be discerning about when a VPN is more useful.

Actually maybe I misread your intent. On second glance, looks like you might be yes-and’ing.

It is quite good. It has good readout voices and offers idiomatic alternative translations. Also has good bookmarklets.

SMS 2FA is insecure though. Something like a fido key would be an option.

Correct. I prefer to avoid the browsers that use their browser engine.

I have used Zen a lot since the early days and it has been very good. Suits my needs perfectly. However, recently I started testing out Orion and it has also been very nice. It has very good privacy and is WebKit if you’re into that. I’m just happy with anything not Blink.

Glad to see this shared again. This tool is legendary.

You mean when streaming video bandwidth, bidirectionally across the radio?

As long as there is a list, probably worth mentioning, the new Zig term on the block, ghostty.

wezterm: A GPU-accelerated cross-platform terminal emulator and multiplexer written by @wez and implemented in Rust

This is my favorite terminal emulator and very configurable with lua.

zoxide: A smarter cd command. Supports all major shells.

This is such a handy tool, and the database can be queried for other tools too. Like project switchers or fzf for example.

On a similar note: zellij.

If a provided service is good and made accessible reasonably, I’ll use it and happily pay. As soon as it is intentionally obtuse or consumer hostile, say no more; I take to the seas.

But in all cases, I prefer FOSS first. It is generally better, more secure, has more vibrant communities, and represents a dying breed of freedom that we all need.

But you still need the user accounts. Which must be created and are verified by email. Then you have to generate tokens for them to call the api endpoint to add the star. I’m not saying it isn’t doable, but it would be non-negligible and GitHub is going to squash you back at some point creating all those accounts from one source.

How would the raspberry help? It is accounts needed.
