They’re probably banking on the average free VPN user not being technical enough to bother. And if you actually know how to do that, you likely already have an existing VPN subscription.

Surveillance pricing is what you bring to the table when arguing with the nothing-to-hide-nothing-to-fear crowd. They understand personal privacy when it comes to giving up their phone unlocked or not closing the bathroom door, so those arguments don’t work.

It’s interesting that Filen mentions you might not be able to use the free starter plan if you’re on a VPN when you register. Wonder why they are keeping track of that? Abuse prevention maybe, but it’s weird they do it that way considering they sell a privacy-focused product.

First time I’ve seen AliasVault. The built-in email server to create aliases and receive email is cool. No need to use a separate service. Can anyone who uses AliasVault share your experience? I know it’s FOSS. I can’t find any info if they’ve been independently audited. If it’s great, I’ll switch from Bitwarden.

Nowhere in the manifesto did they mention that security is still a priority and not an afterthought despite wanting to move faster and faster with AI. That is the problem. I guess that’s why he’s a CTO and not a CISO. But you would think a company that sells security and privacy as its product would have security-centric folks all the way to top management.

Set your client to not download/show embedded images, so only the text part gets loaded.

That and the razr were pretty slick phones by Motorola.

Disconnect your TV from the internet and use a streaming stick. AppleTV is the least evil among the commercial ones. So you still have the normal streaming experience without the TV spying on you. However, as others have mentioned, these TVs are so bad that they try to find nearby unsecured wifi to transmit your data. So unless your immediate neighbors all have password protected wifi, and no one with an open hotspot gets in range, there’s still a chance.

Not just that. They’re also likely implying that if you lose money because of said agent doing unauthorized transactions, you’re not getting it back.

Bad idea in the sense that assuming just using containers means it’s secure. You can make it pretty secure though. There’s stuff like istio and cilium to lock things down. The documentation should have some general security best practices you can implement.

I was able to move my immediate family group chat to Signal. Unfortunately some of my friend groups are still active on facebook group chats. I end up rarely interacting with them, and if I ever do, I keep my messages short and avoid giving personal information.

It would be good to preface the post with that. We are mandated to use AI at my work. While I’m in tech, I’m not a developer so I don’t code. However I’ve used codex to create tools to help my team automate some of the mundane day-to-day tasks we do. Whenever I share something, I always start with “I used codex to build blah blah”.

From what I’ve read, AppleTV is the least evil among the commercial ones.

Fuck yes. Manually having to turn it off everywhere was so annoying. It should be just one toggle switch like what Firefox did for their AI features.

If you actually read the post, it says it’s not, and AI was only used to help with writing the documentation.

I feel like I read a headline like this every year. I know we are probably getting closer, but is there actually something new this time?

If you are looking specifically at commercial ones only, I read that AppleTV is the least evil. https://www.tomsguide.com/tvs/apple-tv-4k-is-still-the-best-streaming-box-when-it-comes-to-privacy

Obviously there are better opensource options out there.

The two counter arguments to this are:

1. You are giving more personal data to google to prove you live at that address.

2. A blurred house on street view makes you stand out and can make burglars think you are some rich guy with valuable stuff in their house.

This is why I avoid dipping in freshwater. Way more nasty stuff in there compared to saltwater.

Dude, everyone on this thread is talking about the rolling release nature of Arch being a risk with stability. You are pushing your point about a different thing (customization) and using it as an argument against the former. You are the one who is off topic here.
