  • I wanted my computer to be secure but headless. Suse, fedora both had supposed instructions but in classic Linux style they had a bunch of out of date commands and software and it didn’t work. Fedora always required a human to enter a password on boot, suse just bricked.

    Endeavarch had instructions (a maze of unclear gibberish, to be honest) that actually worked and did what I wanted with minimal fuss and it’s been operating well for 2 years.






  • I think it’s safe to say you went too fast (id always start with email forwarding and slowly moving services over in ascending order of importance, and make sure you avoid email 2fa if at all possible), but that does suck.

    Tuta is definitely the least reputable of the privacy email services, I still don’t know why they get recommended. I’ve made and lost several accounts with them and treat them like a burner.

    Protons a bit risky to me because they’re very aggressive about immediately locking you out if you don’t pay right away (in this case a trial expired, they charged me with no credit card on the account and threatened to block me from accessing my account if I didn’t pay up even though I immediately contacted them and tried to cancel as soon as I saw the trial expired). To me that level of inflexibility is, while maybe acceptable in Europe, not for me. I keep a few email addresses and as soon as the above happened immediately moved everything out of proton.

    But really what I’d recommend is the more traditional services that you pay a small amount for. Posteo has been good for me for several years. I’ve read similar things about similar services which aren’t marketed as “privacy” services but instead they just aren’t Google.













  • Well 40% of my country thinks a pedophile nepo baby failed businessman should be in charge and the majority of states are trying to kill the concept of democracy and the majority of my congress is in favor of further dismantling the government and my supreme court thinks the pedo is a god-emperor who can shoot someone in the face and have no negative consequences and the majority of the state apparatus is working to violate the constitution on a daily basis.

    So…no, I don’t think we do have enough people in my country who want to fix this.

    Your username says petrol so maybe you do, but that’s not the case in my country.
