  • Everyone suggests proton and their whole infra just makes me sus. Just because of how much they are the “go to” alternative.

    Maybe I’m paranoid. But I feel like these companies that focus on “privacy” are just not as good as we all assume.

    It’s like all the YouTube sponsored segments of “Ingogni”. It just makes me feel like these companies that sell “privacy” are just consolidating data on the people that are worried about their privacy.

    This is less a comment about proton I guess. But, incogni, is sus as fuck. Like, really, “give us all your personal info and we’ll “scrub” it from the internet, trust us.”

    Are they sharing your emails. Probably not. But I just don’t really trust anything.

    Edit: lots of strong responses. Which I appreciate. But, my comment was more “vibes” based on Proton. But I’ll take a stand on these “Ingogni” types services. I think they are sus as fuck.

    I’ve heard people had luck with Tailscale playing nicely with non Plex options. I can’t say I’ve tried it. Though I do use Tailscale. Essentially if you setup Tailscale for Grandma it’ll be like she’s sitting on your local network. Even better, set it up on her router and you can literally debug all her Internet problems if you can ping it.

    Beyond that a raspberry pi with a battery backup on a 4G subscription connected to the router. That would be the ultimate “grandma” setup. Connect her router/modem power to remote power cycle. But I digress.

    For some reason I get permission errors on jellyfin every time I use it. Never with Plex. I’ve gone through the steps to fix it before. But when you change your shit as much as I do. I just stay with Plex because it’s plug and play. And I have the pass. I don’t have the time to fuck with stupid shit with jellyfin.
