burning petro dollars vs renewable commodities

China is in first place with 32% of global renewable electricity production. They have built more solar capacity than the rest of the world has ever had installed in one year. No other countries are anywhere close to the green acceleration they have purposefully spearheaded for themselves and the world.
placing it near Poland
and well above the US, France and Japan
per capita consumption mix is probably a more useful comparison
ourworldindata.org/grapher/per…
I'd really like to see a graph with per GDP energy consumption mix as well. Most of the countries with better mix than China have a fraction of the GDP.
They just recognized that selling solar pannels and stuff to othercountries is very profitable.
If it was very profitable, countries and companies would be falling over each other to do it.
if you can’t stuff the sun into barrels and sell it for outrageous profits
For anyone that's not twigged it yet
They're already turning this into another culture war to ensure they can continue to enrich the establishment.
The petrochemical industry has a lot of money to burn on propaganda if it's facing an existential threat.
Remember this when you read anything other than "we should be decarbonising as quickly as possible"
The best thing for everyone (in basically every possible way) except petrochemical shareholders is heavy investment in renewable technology and the ending of petrochemical subsidies.

you have to laugh at the absurdity of the pot calling the kettle black when it comes to genocide & suppression; especially so when the american pot is SO MUCH blacker than the chinese kettle.
and laughing becomes a coping strategy when an overwhelming majority of americans and other westerners have swallowed so much propaganda that they willfully & sometimes violently remain ignorant of it.
¿por que no lo dos?
Both are terrible. But in the light of the absolute state of the world, China's a much lesser evil.
genocide
Wasn't there a pic of Xinjiang and Gaza being shared to show that this was western exaggeration and blame shifting?
No, China is not commiting genocide. The best and most comprehensive resource I have seen so far is Qiao Collective's Xinjiang: A Resource and Report Compilation. Qiao Collective is explicitly pro-PRC, but this is an extremely comprehensive write-up of the entire background of the events, the timeline of reports, and real and fake claims.
I also recommend reading the UN report and China's response to it. These are the most relevant accusations and responses without delving into straight up fantasy like Adrian Zenz, professional propagandist for the Victims of Communism Foundation, does.
Tourists do go to Xinjiang all the time as well. You can watch , though it obviously isn't going to be a comprehensive view of a complex situation like this. Even with all of the real complexities, though, nothing material measures up to claims of genocide.
As for "freedom of speech," it's largely capitalist speech that is suppressed. As class struggle is very much alive in China, they can't let the bourgeoisie take control of the media and manufacture consent for its own ends.
Xinjiang: A Report and Resource Compilation
Western governments have levied false allegations of genocide and slavery in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. A closer look makes clear that the politicization of China’s anti-terrorism policies in Xinjiang is another front of the U.S.Qiao Collective

Green energy is good, but I'm sceptical of China's intentions these days. They seem to have a pretty aggressive stance towards other countries, as seen in their handling of the nine-dash line.
I just get the sense that China is less interested in helping the whole world, and more interested in subjugating the whole world.
Issues Installing ProtonVPN Official App on Bazzite through Distrobox
I'm a linux newbie and would really appreciate some help here.
I'm on bazzite and want to install protonvpn. Ideally the official app, not flatpak, so I can use the apparantly newly added split-tunneling.
Previously i installed both protonvpn-cli and the gui version, "layered on top of rpm-ostree" as far as I understand it. And thats actually not desireable? I think i removed those.
Now i entered my distrobox, which is better for this(?), and followed these instructions:
protonvpn.com/support/official…
These commands are the ones I used:
wget "https://repo.protonvpn.com/fedora-$(cat /etc/fedora-release | cut -d' ' -f 3)-stable/protonvpn-stable-release/protonvpn-stable-release-1.0.3-1.noarch.rpm"
sudo dnf install ./protonvpn-stable-release-1.0.3-1.noarch.rpm && sudo dnf check-update --refresh
sudo dnf install proton-vpn-gnome-desktop
sudo dnf install libappindicator-gtk3 gnome-shell-extension-appindicator gnome-extensions-app
(the last one is supposed to install the system tray icon)
But protonvpn is nowhere to be found.
(protonvpn --version doesnt show anything.)
Any suggestions or resources that might help me?

The official installation process won't work, as Bazzite is an immutable distro.
You can install it with rpm-ostree. If you choose to do so, I invite you to look into what immutable distros are, and what problems they solve (and create).
I was curious and searched if it was more complicated than it looked for ProtonVPN. It doesn't look complicated, but it is not very straightforward either.

Native American Youth Face Type II Diabetes Rates Up to 64 Times Higher Than Non-Native Peers
Native American youth have Type II diabetes at a rate up to 64 times their non-Native peers. That's according to a systematic review published last week in Diabetologia, a peer-reviewed medical journal on diabetes.The review extracted data from 49 studies conducted between 1978 and 2019 on the prevalence of type II diabetes in the Aboriginal, First Nation and American Indian/Alaska Native populations. It included data from at least 15 distinct Native American studies across multiple regions, including the Great Plains, Navajo Nation, Cherokee Nation, Northern Plains Indians, and various Indian Health Service reservations.
Youth from the Akimel O'odham & Tohono O'odham and Gila River Indian Communities showed the highest prevalence of Type II diabetes at 6.4%
Young Native women bear the highest burden of the disease, with AI/AN female youth having diabetes at rates 77% higher than their male counterparts.
Native youth also experience worse outcomes with diabetes, suffering higher mortality rates compared to non-Indigenous youth, even with similar age at diagnosis and disease duration, pointing to gaps in healthcare accessibility.
Diabetes in AI/AN youth has only worsened in the past four decades. Across Native communities included in the review, the disease has risen 3-8 times since 1980.
The review noted that a handful of the studies included used data from the Indian Health Service records, which may have resulted in the prevalence of the disease being underestimated due to barriers in access to care.

Just learned about hexbear being defederated.
Parola filtrata: nsfw
I’ve had two major issues with these guys. While not necessarily worth defederating everyone, I really don’t want to deal with hexbear because:
- ALL of their content is political. When they first showed up on my feed, I watched what posts/communities came up and how their users interacted on non hexbear posts. I’ve done my best to remove all politics from my social media. These guys only talked about politics and would go to other communities to turn a normal conversation political.
- Everything was extreme and obnoxious. I don’t understand why everyone keeps calling them polite. There was a constant “you’re with us or you’re against us”/“my beliefs are always right” behavior that was really annoying, especially in a public space that wasn’t polarized before they got there. It reminded me of this one girl from middle school who would walk into a room and loudly talk about whatever she wanted until all the other conversations petered out.
They’re more than welcome to behave like that in their home, but they can’t go to a public space and expect everyone to cater to their beliefs.
From the admin on a post in Jan 2024.
While I do appreciate offering the reasoning on the matter, I'm quite surprised since I checked all banned instances and hexbear seemed like an oddity amongst the mix.
Perhaps it's so long ago that I dont remember the issues.
But to categorise the banned instances we have the likes of:
* threads
* Lemmynsfw
* maga.place
And the odd inclusion of one big instance which to me certainly feels like any average instance. Certainly no worse than lemmy.ml
Ofc its not my instance, I'm just bringing this up for reconsideration. If you don't wanna deal with it thats your decision to make. But it certainly feels unnecessary from the outside. Especially when so many nation based comms here post political content and so do most lemmy instances.

That happens all the time. There’s no way to guarantee that it won’t happen with any codec or really with anything.
Yes, so there's no reason to hold back on releasing updates, since it could very well happen on AV1.
It is very expensive to defend against even when the claim is bogus.
The principle behind AV1, once again, is to have a modern codec that is out of reach from patent trolls. Those who are part of the AOM consortium, which developed this codec, have all contractually agreed to unconditionally license all patents they hold that are necessary for the implementation of the codec.
And those who are not part of the consortium and who would like to claim patents relating to the AV1 or AV2 codecs would have to face the legal teams of the companies part of said consortium, including Amazon, Alibaba, Adobe, AMD, Cisco, Google, Intel, Microsoft, Mozilla Foundation, ARM, Huawei, Samsung, Tencent, Meta, Nvidia, Apple, Netflix, and other large companies.
The AV1 and AV2 codecs, after perhaps H264, are the most secure codecs available today in terms of patent trolls. Nobody has both the will and the means to attack it.
Hardware = pay google -
Proprietary software = pay google or 3rd party -
Open source (d@v1d) = free (this is what most people use = VLC Player)
AV2 provides enhanced support for AR/VR applications, split-screen delivery of multiple programs, improved handling of screen content, and an ability to operate over a wider visual quality range.

Definitely. The conditions that created this version of the web have been gone for some time now. We've gone from connections that were temporarily and required hours to download a few minutes of postage stamp sized video. To always on connections capable of streaming multiple HD streams faster than real time in both directions.
For my part I'm also looking in to purchasing and trying to set up a small Adhoc mesh Halow network and running a few services on it for myself and any others in the neighborhood that are interested. A small, free (after the hardware) anarchist wireless network. 16mbps can do a lot with simple services, etc.Plus, if a number of people in the area decided to adopt and contribute more nodes to the mesh, you could go faster still.
That sounds like a fantastic way to go. You might also look at meshtastic.
It's a much different use case, being for text messaging and stuff like that only. But, while it may be low bandwidth, it's still incredibly interesting.
reticulum.network/ is also pretty good for small info packets. Does a LOT more than meshtastic...but its VERY difficult to set up. Or at least it was for me.
Its a pipe dream but having small internet without a major ISP would be fantastic. But it will never happen as it is. Friends are thinking of creating a meshnet though just for fun.

What preset were you using at the time? I know that longfast is not the best preset for larger networks that have a lot of users.
Personally, open source matters to me much more than the speed or congestion or whatever, which is why I chose meshtastic. Because the mesh core, foam applications are not open source.
Until there is an open source version, I absolutely refuse to touch it. I know that the underlying software is open source, but without having open source interfaces, I'm still refusing to touch it.

Yes, My home network setup is a bit complicated but I am using Pfsense so I have things on separate vlans with internal firewall rules to reduce risks.
All traffic in on port 443 is routed from Cloudflare to an NginX reverse proxy which decides how to connect back into my network for things
Years ago I would just run a server on the network with 443, 80 and 22 exposed directly to the world and never had any major issues. (Other than the normal automated attacks trying to gain shell access over SSH)
Gotcha, vlan setup sounds like the best possible way to do it, I don't trust my security skills at all, 22 with fail2ban is about as far as I trust myself!
The hammering 22 gets is astonishing though.
Most of these things are pretty secure out of the box.
Even without fail2ban disabling root login and only allowing SSH key authentication makes those scripts just a waste of time for the attacker. That game is a low effort attempt to just get the low hanging fruit for botnets though.
Meh.
I converted my blog from WordPress to a static site generator using Gemini's version of Markdown as the base format, and then hosted both HTTP and Gemini versions.
I later took down the Gemini version. The web site remains as static HTML driven by (a variation of) Markdown. No cookies, no JS, limited CSS. Even took out some old YouTube <iframe> tags and converted them to straight links to videos. Doing it this way does everything anyone would want out of Gemini without having to use a specialized client.
We should be promoting some kind of browser extension that flags a site as having no cookies and no JS.
How many of you out there are browsing the web using Gofer?
Gopher predated the Web.
I do agree that there have been pretty major changes in the way websites worked, though. I'm not hand-coding pages using a very light, Markdown-like syntax with <em></em>, <a href=""></a>, and <h1></h1> anymore, for example.
That depends on how you define the web
Wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher_(…
The Gopher protocol (/ˈɡoʊfər/ ⓘ) is a communication protocol designed for distributing, searching, and retrieving documents in Internet Protocol networks. The design of the Gopher protocol and user interface is menu-driven, and presented an alternative to the World Wide Web in its early stages, but ultimately fell into disfavor, yielding to Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The Gopher ecosystem is often regarded as the effective predecessor of the World Wide Web.[1]
gopher.floodgap.com is one of the last running Gopher servers, was the one that I usually used as a starting point when firing up a gopher client. It has a Web gateway up:
Gopher is a well-known information access protocol that predates the World Wide Web, developed at the University of Minnesota during the early 1990s. What is Gopher? (Gopher-hosted, via the Public Proxy)This proxy is for Gopher resources only -- using it to access websites won't work and is logged!
This has been mangled up by history. The important parts of the World Wide Web are having hypertext (basically links inside the document to other documents) and being networked (those links can take you to a completely different server). Apple's Hypercard had hypertext, but it wasn't networked. Usenet was networked, but had no hypertext.
This is laid out in Tim Berners-Lee's original 1989 proposal for the web while he was at CERN:
w3.org/History/1989/proposal.h…
Gopher has all the qualities he was talking about. Gopher was a different kind of World Wide Web. We decided against that particular route, and for mostly good reasons, IMO.
<blink>Welcome to my web page under construction</blink>
I would argue that's not quite correct. You can absolutely transfer HTML files over gopher, but you're not going to be viewing it in the gopher program.It was very much designed to be what most people would be more familiar with in concept as an FTP server today, almost. Pretty much all you could view in app were plain text files. and no links between. Everything else was a directory of files to be downloaded.
Gemini is definitely a bit of an inbetween. It does allow for linking between documents, but otherwise keeps everything simple and small, much like Gopher did.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Moth…
The 90-minute live demonstration featured the introduction of a complete computer hardware and software system called the oN-Line System or, more commonly, NLS, which demonstrated for the first time many of the fundamental elements of modern personal computing, including windows, hypertext, graphics, efficient navigation and command input, video conferencing, the computer mouse, word processing, dynamic file linking, revision control, and a collaborative real-time editor.

Wouldn't that depend on what you're watching?

Long ago, when I first got on the Internet, the big social media forum was Usenet. It was a distributed network of instances where users would have an account on a particular instance, where they could subscribe to "newsgroups" dedicated to particular topics. Their instance would broadcast their posts to a newsgroup to all the other instances that were following that newsgroup, so everyone could interact even if they were on different instances.
Then the World Wide Web grew, and centralized sites like Digg and Reddit appeared that handled the same sort of social media. Usenet faded. It's still around, I suppose, though these days last I checked it's largely a mechanism for distributing pirated files.
Someday those centralized sites might also fade. Who knows, maybe a decentralized system like Usenet might grow again to replace it?
The wheel turns.

Yeah, Usenet was structured that way more for practical reasons than political ones. Local users were truly local, as in you usually connected to a server that was geographically close to you. Often it was on the same university campus you were on. The long-distance connections between servers didn't have the bandwidth for everyone to just be freely hopping around browsing whatever they wanted whenever they wanted, at least not at first, so mirroring the content was a better approach. It also made things much more reliable, the servers didn't need 100% uptime.
Usenet was a lot more "trusting" in its structure. The newsgroups didn't have moderators per se, and they weren't hosted by specific instances; they were more just a "tag" you could add to a post to let people filter which subjects they were interested in seeing. There was a globally agreed upon list of newsgroups and a distributed system for creating new ones, but it was all pretty informal. Wouldn't work well in the current Internet, it'd get spammed to death in seconds. But on the surface level it really felt a lot like the modern Fediverse does, with subject-specific groups and threaded discussions and such.

No, it was every service replicating all posts in groups it served.
Like FTP mirrors of FOSS software, there are plenty of mirrors of Debian, for example. Except far bigger traffic.
Sort of. It predated the web, so calling it a "site" is wrong. Just like you can have an email application that's completely separate from your web browser, you can have a Usenet client that's also its own thing. Of course, people made web-based clients as time went on.
Your ISP ran a Usenet server that connected to other Usenet servers. The biggest problem with this system was that your ISP would automatically delete posts past a certain age. Following old threads was a pain.
Google Groups started as a Usenet archive where messages were kept forever. Google bought them and turned it into what it is now.
I get what the video is saying, but I don't see this as a bad thing. We moved on from many of those services because we found better ways to do things, or at least ways that we liked more. And when we move on from the services we use now, it'll be because we once again found something we liked better.
The internet has died several times, but each time it came back in some new way that had adapted to the new ideas and ways we came up with on how to interact with each other. I'm sure when it dies next, we'll replace it with something that better fits our changing wants and needs.
And hopefully, when that time comes, it's something much more decentralized and resilient against governments and corporations meddling and censoring us.

VPN Comparison
I made a spreadsheet comparing different open source VPN providers.
Part 2 here
Providers
Notes
- Please do not start a flame war about Proton.
- Please do not start a flame war about cryptocurrencies. Monero is the only cryptocurrency listed because of its privacy.
- The very left column is the category for each row, the middle section is the various VPN providers, and the right section is which VPNs are the best in each category.
- IVPN has two differing plans, which is why "Standard" and "Pro" are sometimes differentiated.
- For accounts, "Generated" means a random identifier is created for you to act as your account, "Required" means you must sign up yourself. Proton VPN allows guest use under specific conditions (e.g. installed from the Google Play Store), but otherwise requires an account.
- Switzerland is seen as more private than Sweden. Gibraltar is seen as privacy neutral.
- All prices are in United States Dollars. Tax is not included.
- Pricing is based on the price combination to achieve the exact time frame. For example, Proton VPN does not have a 3 year plan but you can achieve 3 years by combining a 2 year plan with a 1 year plan.
- The availability section is security based. Availability is framed around a GrapheneOS and secureblue setup.
- The Proton VPN Flatpak is unofficial, but based on the official code.
- Availability on secureblue is based on the
ujust install-vpncommand. Security features must be disabled on secureblue in order to use the GUI for IVPN and Mullvad VPN, but not for Proton VPN. Mozilla VPN and NymVPN are available as Flatpaks, which are safer than layering packages. - I wanted to include more categories, such as which programming languages they are written in, connection speed, and security, but that became far too difficult and complex, so I decided to omit those categories.
Takeaways
- NymVPN is very very new, but it's off to a strong start. It wins in almost every category. I actually hadn't heard of it until I started this project.
- If you want a free VPN, Proton VPN is the only one here that meets that requirement.
- If you want to pay week-by-week, IVPN is the only one that allows that.
- If you're paying month-by-month on a budget, Mullvad VPN is the cheapest option.
- NymVPN is the cheapest plan for anything past 1 month.
- If you want to use Accrescent as your main app store, IVPN is the only VPN available there for now.
- If you want to pay for a bundle of apps, including a VPN, Proton sells more than just a VPN.
- Mozilla VPN is terrible. The only thing it has going for it is a verified Flatpak, but NymVPN also has that so it doesn't even matter.
VPN Comparison 2.0
After making a post about comparing VPN providers, I received a lot of requested feedback. I've implemented most of the ideas I received.
Providers
- AirVPN
- IVPN
- Mozilla VPN
- Mullvad VPN
- NordVPN
- NymVPN
- Private Internet Access (abbreviated PIA)
- Proton VPN
- Surfshark VPN
- Tor (technically not a VPN)
- Windscribe
Notes
- I'm human. I make mistakes. I made multiple mistakes in my last post, and there may be some here. I've tried my best.
- Pricing is sometimes weird. For example, a 1 year plan for Private Internet Access is 37.19€ first year and then auto-renews annually at 46.73€. By the way, they misspelled "annually". AirVPN has a 3 day pricing plan. For the instances when pricing is weird, I did what I felt was best on a case-by-case basis.
- Tor is not a VPN, but there are multiple apps that allow you to use it like a VPN. They've released an official Tor VPN app for Android, and there is a verified Flatpak called Carburetor which you can use to use Tor like a VPN on secureblue (Linux). It's not unreasonable to add this to the list.
- Some projects use different licenses for different platforms. For example, NordVPN has an open source Linux client. However, to call NordVPN open source would be like calling a meat sandwich vegan because the bread is vegan.
- The age of a VPN isn't a good indicator of how secure it is. There could be a trustworthy VPN that's been around for 10 years but uses insecure, outdated code, and a new VPN that's been around for 10 days but uses up-to-date, modern code.
- Some VPNs, like Surfshark VPN, operate in multiple countries. Legality may vary.
- All of the VPNs claim a "no log" policy, but there's some I trust more than others to actually uphold that.
- Tor is special in the port forwarding category, because it depends on what you're using port forwarding for. In some cases, Tor doesn't need port forwarding.
- Tor technically doesn't have a WireGuard profile, but you could (probably?) create one.
Takeaways
- If you don't mind the speed cost, Tor is a really good option to protect your IP address.
- If you're on a budget, NymVPN, Private Internet Access, and Surfshark VPN are generally the cheapest. If you're paying month-by-month, Mullvad VPN still can't be beat.
- If you want VPNs that go out of their way to collect as little information as possible, IVPN, Mullvad VPN, and NymVPN don't require any personal information to use. And Tor, of course.

Can Nym be used on an OpenWrt router?
A guide is in the works.
Does it require a special app or can it be used with a standard wireguard config?
Nym looks interesting and I hadn't heard of it before, but based on my reading I wouldn't say it supports wireguard.
It implements wireguard but it still looks like you need to use their client instead of a vanilla wireguard one.
I've included it both as a post image and as an embedded image for maximum compatibility (e.g. for RSS readers), so there shouldn't be any problems. I've tested it on multiple browsers on multiple devices just fine.
Edit: It seems lemmy.world is breaking all lemmy.ml images

Israeli firm buys Private Internet Access (PIA) VPN raising privacy concerns
Private Internet Access VPN users don't look happy with the development. Read what they have to say & why they're concerned about privacy.Sudais Asif (Hack Read)
Pure vpn seams like a pretty generic scammy vpn like surfshark or nordvpn they have there own blog dedicated to why they are the best stating reasons like securing yourself in public wifi, protecting you from scams or getting hacked, protecting you against ddos atacks??? and just advertising vpn's as a jack of all trades privacy toolkit, which they really aren't.
VPN companies that are willing to lie to consumers about what vpn's actually do means they could be lying about other things, like there no logs policy.
Proton does a better job at explaining what a vpn actually does and doesn't do.
Why these common VPN myths are misleading
Does using a VPN slow down internet speeds? Is self-hosting your own VPN better for privacy? We clear up common VPN myths vs. reality.Douglas Crawford (Proton VPN)
Where is AirVPN? Arguably much better then these VPN providers offering static port forwarding among their features.
Provides configurations built for Wireguard and OpenVPN with each server having unlisted IPs to completely get around VPN blocks.
Owned by a "hacktivst" lawyer in Italy.
Multiple audit along with police attempting to sieze running servers. These are configured to dump there configuration on shutdown and run entirely in ram.
This is a battle tested VPN that has existed since 2010. They allow for completely anonymity using Creptocurrencies payments.

How is it arguably "much better"? You just value port forwarding above all else? Has airvpn even been audited yet?
Anytime VPN discussions comes up in privacy forums it ends up being a bunch of torrent users whose only criteria is port forwarding
That seems to be a bug. That's my bad. Thanks for catching that! I'll fix it soon and edit the post.
Edit: Fixed! Sorry about that.

Like 90% are just wanting an encrypted tunnel to a proxiy right?
VPNs and Tor are used for different purposes (sort of).
And common tasks like downloading big-ish files or streaming video should not be done on Tor (it's possible, but I believe it is discouraged), but can be done easily over a VPN.
As long as you can generate a wireguard config that works, for example, on your desktop/main pc with wireguard directly, then Gluetun should have no issue (as far as im aware).
Gluetun specific provider support is usually just there to get setup faster (I think so it can automatically get configs for certain countries, etc).
Assuming every connection you make is encrypted with TLS (HTTPS) or otherwise encrypted:
If you use encrypted custom DNS, your ISP sees only the IP addresses you connect to. If you use unencrypted DNS or ISP-provided DNS, they see the hostnames plus the IP addresses.
How does one know if their DNS is encrypted?
And what would the benefits of a VPN be, if any, in this scenario?
It can prevent man in the middle observation or attack and allow you to avoid a particular type of location tracking.
Another user on an instance I don’t see posts from talked about tls in response to your question about https. It’s important to recognize that the certificate based system for establishing identity when making a tls connection is cooked and has been for twenty years at least. It may have been designed flawed from the start.
Because of that, the combination of dns over https or dns over tls and a vpn you trust allows you to bypass certificate attacks.

I didn’t suggest F-Droid for inclusion though. I merely used its applicable terminology.
My bad, I understand now.
Because it's security focused, it includes app stores that are good for their security (regardless of privacy). Other app stores, such as F-Droid, have security issues that Accrescent and the Google Play Store don't share. This topic has been argued to death countless times before, and I don't want to start a flame war, but do try researching it and see what comes up.

FWIW took me less than 1h yesterday to setup WireGuard on 4 different devices :
- server with
wg-easyand thus easy to use Web UI (before 2-step auth) - peers
- BananiPi 3 F (RISC-V) headless via
nmcli - desktop on Debian via NetworkManaged
- mobile phone on /e/OS via the WireGuard client (with Ente Auth to login back on server as admin)
- BananiPi 3 F (RISC-V) headless via
... and it was the first time I used WireGuard.
So I'm trying to imply that one shouldn't use commercial VPNs or benefit from their services, solely that setting up your own depending on your abilities and needs might not be as complex as you initially imagine.
PS: I did have experience with OpenVPN before and a running server already with Docker and nginx as reverse proxy.

I do not agree with placing switzerland over sweden in that location category
and i think a category should included, that tracks age of vpn or something like that, considering this is nymvpns biggest flaw.. still hard to say how trustworthy it is + their software is less battle tested
(~~and just for someone curiouse, it should be mentioned that nymvpn does use mullvad servers/ has a deal with mullvad~~ sry i mixed that up obscura and mullvad had partnership, not nymvpn)
I do not agree with placing switzerland over sweden in that location category
I'd be happy to hear your elaboration on this. From what I know, Switzerland is seen as the gold standard in terms of privacy.
and i think a category should included, that tracks age of vpn or something like that
The issue is that age doesn't correlate with security. There could be an outdated, insecure VPN that's been around for 10 years, or a modern, secure VPN that's been around for 10 days. If I included it, there would be no "good" or "bad" values. Nevertheless, I will include this in version 2.0.
(and just for someone curiouse, it should be mentioned that nymvpn does use mullvad servers/ has a deal with mullvad)
I knew NymVPN used a small bit of Mullvad VPN's code, but I didn't know they used their servers. Could you link to this?
this is awkward i am sorry it seems like my memory failed me,
for one it is was mullvad and obscura that have a deal, not nymvpn..
and then i also thought somehow that vpns are in sweden protected by the constitution, but it appears its more like normal laws. Which appear to be effective tho.
But mainly i thought about that recently switzerland was proposing laws like this tuta.com/blog/switzerland-surv… (possible that laws like these get proposed in sweden aswell ofc)
which makes it sound like the privacy stands of the goverment is not that strong anymore, but there are probably no effects really at the moment.
I think i would rank sweden and switzerland equally i guess, i mean the famouse mullvad example kind of proofs that they are safe i think...
But like my research into the countries is not that deep, so if you really looked into this deeply and switzerland is really better for some reason, than i guess it is like this.
But i still think the age is important, like sure its completly possible that an old vpn suddenly gets infiltrated or idk what really,
but since for vpns are mostly trust based,
i think that the track record is the best option for this.. and new vpns just dont have that long of a record (personally i would not use like a 1 month old vpn for example, whoever good it sounds)
or can nymvpn offer garantuees similar to tor?

Welcome to the VPN Comparison! This section is meant to be a resource to those who value their privacy, specifical...thatoneprivacysite.xyz
I was grumped by not seeing PIA on this break down. I’ve been using it for years and have always had a good experience with it. But I’m not so sure I know their privacy side now that I see this great break down
Edit: just re read the post again and I think PIA isn’t on here cause it’s not open source?
PIA is an American owned company obligated to comply with the Five Eyes Alliance, they’re legally obligated to retain your personal information unless noted otherwise.
Source their privacy policy, which FYi compare their Privacy Policy to another company like Mullvad and notice how theirs reads like a novel compared to Mullvads, that’s an immediate red flag.
Privacy Policy | Private Internet Access
Private Internet Access is committed to protecting your privacy. Please read on to understand what data we collect or don't collect, how we collect, store and use the data.www.privateinternetaccess.com
Thank you for this
Still learning here
I’m finding out that I’ve been mislead. Probably by their marketing.
I remember an ad I saw for PIA saying something along the lines of “the only VPN that can prove in a court of law that they don’t retain your data”
Either it’s a lie or it doesn’t actually carry the weight I thought it did.
ProtonVPN has started to become blocked on tons of websites. I have to switch servers all the time, to the point I won't be able to keep a VPN connection up like I used to.
I've read Mullvad has worsened as well. There seems to be a general ban on VPN use (there was always some of course)
My last hope: non profits who offer VPN. They keep logs, don't allow torrenting, and require a real name to subscribe. Very few server choices, if any.
I'm... fine with that. I just want privacy. No surveillance. And I trust the non profit. Plus I torrent on a VPS anyway
What I would like to see are local VPNs, with a small enough pool of users on each server to not get flagged. A rotation between servers from time to time. Compliant with the law of course (as long as the law doesn't require total surveillance, evidently).
The goal is to hide everyone's activity from the providers and websites (yes, I know, fingerprinting)
But maybe there's some other existing tool/service I'm not aware of?
VPN on VPS (easy to do with gluetun)
Basically you use a container that's a VPN connection and connect other containers to it.
Both comments are me. Configuring Tailscale (or Headscale?) is on my to-do.
To be clear, connecting to the VPS is not what I use for the anonymizing part, it's the gluetun container that connects to ProtonVPN servers. This way I can still access my VPS with its real IP.
Not sure if there was a confusion there.
Simply using my VPS as relay would still attach my browsing to a single IP I'm the sole user of... or not? I do not know how that works.
No advantages privacy-wise, but it's like a seedbox! I keep the torrent client running.
Also I'm on a limited mobile data plan on my router at home, so this helps.
When I found out you could get a free 200GB VPS (look up free tier vps) - and because I had another paid VPS already anyway - I decided to make a seedbox. It's not a ton of storage but it works really well, very happy with it.
What would happen if you tried to put I2P on there?
... I guess you'd have to go by the different outproxies... ?
Using one only because it's super well known? Sure. It can be well known and scummy. But it can also be well known, trusted, vetted, etc.
And you also probably don't want to use one that is barely known as there's the lack of trust, getting, who runs it's, etc.
I'm not sure about your statement, but using a very unknown vpn could lead to possibly tracking you because theres less of a crowd to blend in with.
Assuming your statement is correct (idk if it is), then there's a middleground i guess.
You are right.
It is easier to blend in though if the vpn doesn't log (and before logging is added by feds if possible) or if the person tracking you is not a government and doesnt have that control or is just the service you use, etc.
Great work!

Never heard of NymVPN. Does anyone use them?
I use Mullvad, and I really trust their devs. Not really looking to change, but having more options is always good.
I looked on the website. This is actually an “early bird” special price that is ~80% discounted. So after a while, it’s going to be $162/year and $310/2 years.
I don't really pay attention to these "discounts". It is, generally, just a marketing tactic. Plenty of services/websites/shops have the same discount 24/7.

trovate di pazzia tra i rifiuti della mia esistenza (dalla mia tastiera esce di tutto)
Nell’arco di pochi giorni, qualche settimana scarsa, le mie giornate sono diventate così tanto credo noiose che iniziano a spuntarmi fuori riflessioni assurde… vorrei stare infinitamente nel lettino a dormire, perché fa freddo e fa buio prima, e tutto ciò fa un pochino male all’anima (soprattutto il freddo, sto ferma e ho freddo, mi muovo in casa e il vento che creo muovendo l’aria mi fa freddo, non ce la posso fare), e le altre cose rimangono difficilmente in primo piano… ma, se questo mi porterà ad andare a dormire prima per stare in coma più a lungo, forse è meglio, tanto non è che ho molto da fare la sera… ben 2 post di recupero per i miei manga li ho scritti, e tanto domani mattina mi piazzo col PC a lezione e programmo come se fossi a casa, e tutto si ripeterà così all’infinito… 😤Ah ma, attenzione, ho divagato; le riflessioni assurde di questa sera non sono quelle di cui sopra, che tutto sommato non penso si possano nemmeno tanto etichettare come anormali, bensì… che minchia di roba esce dalla tastiera (a membrana, maledetta, mannaggia alla miseria) del PC? No, non è un pensiero che non c’entra assolutamente nulla con tutto il suddetto, perché in effetti usando meno il PC fisso ultimamente — ma in realtà, stando meno alla scrivania in generale, visto che troppi giorni sto fuori — dovrebbe accumularsi meno roba strana, e invece… scuotendola tra ieri sera e poco fa è uscito tutto questo bel tesoretto di roba (almeno, bello per chi apprezza il discarica-core, credo)… 🤢
…Peli minuscoli che mi tiro dalla faccia mentre faccio altro ed evidentemente ogni tanto finiscono anche lì in mezzo, quelli che sembrano pezzetti di unghia forse finiti lì dentro quando le ho sistemate l’ultima volta… e il resto, di colore marrone, a parte qualche microplastica sparsa e appena visibile, credo sia tutta pelle morta che rilascio gradualmente nell’ambiente anziché fare la muta ordinatamente come i serpenti… Va a finire tutto in questa specie di griglia nera di buchi (che non è come un buco nero, purtroppo, perché in quello la roba sparirebbe, invece qui girando o soffiando riesce tutta fuori, e che schifo) e boh, mi fa sembrare un mostro in decomposizione. 🧟♀️A parte tutto, non ricordo precisamente da quanto non la scuotevo così per pulirla, ma è stato non troppo tempo fa, credo… eppure, si riempie sempre di roba, e io non me ne capacito. Ma ci sarà un fottuto modo per evitare in primo luogo che diventi abitualmente una discarica? A parte i vari frammenti solidi di cheratina che vabbé, a me sembra di fare attenzione a non farli finire lì, ma evidentemente ho problemi di skill… come stramaledizione faccio a non farci finire almeno la pelle morta??? Io non sono Asmongold, le mani e la faccia me le lavo, quindi, veramente, sono esterrefatta! (NON toccate mai la mia tastiera, che sennò vi prendete 10 malattie, di questo ne sono alquanto sicura.) 😾

Legacy Journalists from NYT, CNN Are Mentors in a Fellowship Founded for Pro-Israel “Information War”
The fellowship has attracted 16 scholars and journalists from several mainstream publications to serve as mentors, including The Atlantic, Spectrum News, The Spectator, Ynet, Times of Israel, and two journalists at The New York Times: Jodi Rudoren, the former Jerusalem bureau chief for The New York Times, who now oversees newsletters for the paper, including The Morning and DealBook; and Sharon Otterman, who covers education, health, and religion in the New York City area for the Times and who has closely covered the Palestine solidarity campus protests at Columbia and other universities.
The New York Times handbook of “values and practices” for its journalists states they “should take care to ensure” any public engagements—including giving speeches, participating on panels, teaching classes and presenting at conferences—do not “create an actual or apparent conflict of interest, or undermine public trust in The Times’s independence.”
In response to an inquiry from Drop Site about whether having staffed reporters mentoring for a program whose founder has said it exists to help Israel win an “information war” represented a conflict with the Times’ standards, spokesperson Charlie Stadtlander said in a statement: “It’s ridiculous to suggest participation as a mentor in this fellowship is anything other than helping to build the reporting skills necessary for the next generation of independent journalists.”
Other fellowship mentors include CNN’s Van Jones, who recently issued an apology after drawing intense criticism for comments he made on HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher on Friday making light of images of dead Palestinian children and saying they were part of an Iran and Qatar disinformation campaign; and Michael Powell, a staff writer at the Atlantic and a former national reporter at The New York Times, whose recent articles include “The Double Standard in the Human-Rights World,” that criticizes groups like Amnesty International and Doctors Without Borders for becoming “stridently critical of Israel.”

Even if i wanted to defend Israel i wouldn't be allowed to anyway, i wouldn't want to be banned again for stupid reasons, just note that 78% of jewish israelis believe that Israel is trying to avoid civilian deaths, because they're brainwashed by their environment&medias(, to the point of somehow believing to be the victims here), surprise.
If people here oppose collective punishments then be coherent and don't wish it on israelis. Or do, i'm not your mom, end of the discussion for me.

in reply to rainpizza • • •We will find out in the coming days or weeks if the hostages were of any value. It is clear that israel did not give a shit about them apart from those inconsequential protests by the taken's kin. Once the hostages are returned, we can gauge israel's actions to see whether keeping the hostages around served a purpose.
This is total bs. They would have done what they did either way.

in reply to loathsome dongeater • • •This is true. The pro-Zionist media was always going to find ways to justify the genocide one way or another.
This I don't agree with. Pro-Palestine protests and direct action have played a role in pressuring Western governments.

in reply to SlayGuevara • • •Hope for Palestinians finally being able to go to sleep without having to worry about being massacred? Indispensable. But as many keep pointing out, neither rules nor international law mean anything to the Zionist entity, so there's no knowing if this will just turn out to be all smoke and mirrors.
...and this is not on Palestinian terms, but entirely on imperialist terms aimed at their advantage. Surprise surprise. The US, its lapdogs, the UK and regional comprador states (Egypt, Jordan, Gulf states), and the Zionist entity aim for it to be managed like a colonial territory where Palestinians are being managed akin to past Western colonized territories, and they'd love to turn Gaza into a tax haven and money-laundering hub for billionaire war profiteering capitalists. An Eastern Mediterranean Monaco, if you will.
