And Mullvad is not in business if selling user profiles to advertisers, at least as far as we know

Because the data used in browser fingerprinting is also used to render pages. Example: a site needs to know the size of browser window to properly fit all design elements.

No. I’m using Tor for Reddit all the time since they banned VPN. Reddit even has their .onion site

FAKE NEWS!!! Why would you want to pull an ancient lever mechanism if you can do it in a few taps on the touch screen. Sure, unless you have a premium subscription, you’ll have to watch a short video from our partners, tailored individually just for you.

Well, luxury and rich are closely related terms, aren’t they? I think what you described is a financial independence.

I’d add that if you can support your desired level of luxurity for yourself and your family without working anymore - that’s being rich.

Edit: I misread the original question, which was asking about wealthy, not rich. Still, I think my answer applies

Private transactions, despite what people here are saying. Let me explain:

1. Privacy is not equal to anonymity. The latter is much harder to achieve.

2. There is Monero, a crypto made specifically for anonymity. It’s not very convenient to use, but it is preserving anonymity with multiple measures.

3. Even Bitcoin, which is not built for that purpose, is private enough. It depends on how you use it.

4. Deanonimization in general happens when you link your transaction with personal identifying information, but you can reduce your exposure by following certain opsec rules. I see this situation is better than traditional banking where your transactions are always not anonymous, and privacy is only protected by the bank itself. Data leaks happen, governments can get to your transaction info via legal means, but with crypto you have more options to protect yourself.

This petition is for developing something dubbed “EU-Linux”, so if implemented as is will be pretty uniform

A million or two shitcoins can buy you that easily

Microsoft is famous for nonsensical product and feature renamings. There is Microsoft 365 Copilot in their enterprise offerings, which integrates well with Copilot in Windows. And there is a tool to build your own Copilots with customized logic and data sources.

You can do 2FA with Keepass, just not TOTP. Add a key file or a hardware key on top of your master password and you pass “something that you have and something that you know” test

Yeah, agreed. If I needed a filter for allergens I wouldn’t trust noname brand too

Air filters. For car, HVAC, etc. Branded or OEM stuff is usually overpriced.

Yeah, apart from what another person said about alternative apps… Events organized by local communities or businesses are often advertised in Facebook only. I know of a few local businesses in my area with Facebook being their only online presence.

Maybe it’s because they have to? Keeping in touch with older relatives, following local events, etc

Garmin. Works reasonably well without connection to the phone. Some models supported by Gadgetbridge

Edit: corrected app name

Well, reddit is doing fine so far. Shareholders are happy

I never did it, but it’s interesting to read about. Last year I was planning a family vacation in Orlando, and we are in NYC area. The deal breaker for me was the cost which was like 3x of the flight. I understand that it would be more comfortable and probably I should compare with business class flight, but still…

The article says they replaced them with remote workers in India, I’m assuming with even lower wages

I’m running Nextcloud from a Turnkey LXC template that’s available in Proxmox. Runs solid, I have no complaints for performance or stability. But upgrades are manual and very involved. It’s not too complicated, but there is always something that needs extra attention or troubleshooting. I also wasn’t able to figure out Turnkey migration toolset that they suggest to use for major upgrades, such as to new version of OS.

I have Odroid-N2 with CoreELEC. Works as my media center in living room, but I use it only to stream video from my jellyfin server.

The only problem I have is that I have to control it from a phone app, not a remote. There are ways to do that, but I couldn’t be bothered
