I generally agree, but I’d avoid gmail with very few exceptions. They are going to read your email, so whether your solution as another protonmail account, an alias, simplelogin, or another service entirely, it’s almost certain to be an improvement. Keep in mind that you can tell gmail to forward your emails, for anyone who hasn’t updated their address book yet.

It is an option, but not a particularly good one seeing as it’s run by amazon. I personally use Signal just because it’s popular, but Wire seems equally good, and I’m glad they exist to provide competition.

I do that early game, but eventually I need night vision for combat, and then I just stop.

The server is physically connected to my laptop with only a switch in between. However, my Qubesos config has two routers (one of which is a firewall) between the hardware and what I’m actually working on. I checked with curl, and I have access to ports 2049 and 111, as well as the webui on 443.

The one problem I have with VLC is that it waits to read the next file from disk until it’s time to play it, which can be disconcerting when switching from one track to the next.

If you use cue/flac, then you don’t need to worry about this. VLC 4.0 will fix the problem, but until then I find strawberry to be an adequate solution.

Strawberry is paywalled on windows, but WSL would be worth a try, and clementine, which strawberry is based on, is not.

Edit: Oops, I assumed an Earth day is 1 second instead of 86,000 seconds

I don’t think that one’s been made for Youtube yet.

You can daisy chain displayport, as long as you have the bandwidth for it. I think the real issue is not how many monitors, but just how many pixels you’re trying to drive. Since secondary monitors are typically 1080p, the whole collection of them should be the same as a 4k main monitor.

Are you talking about business email or personal email. For myself, I use mailbox.org, which is based in Germany (relatively good in the modern world). They also provide encryption at rest by pgp if you request it, which isn’t nothing I guess.

This template I got from the internet does, though this file is almost certainly not the problematic part.

For the sake of accuracy: Incoming emails from external services are initially not encrypted. It’s only truly zero knowledge for either emails sent by another tuta user, or for emails that have already been received.

That being said, they don’t record this information unless specifically required by a court order, which to my knowledge has never happened. I understand that they make the decision of whether your account is spam within 48 hours, and after that it is in the clear. I created my account over Tor, didn’t use it much at all for the first few days, and have been using it fine since. That’s only one data point of course.

Interesting that this happens in Ireland, which is known for capitulating to big tech (because they’re a tax haven). Almost like this is not actually about restricting the ability of big tech to cause damage.

I’m not entirely sure what you’re trying to say here. To clarify, telegram uses a store-forward architecture, meaning that it deletes messages from the server once they have been received by everyone. Until that time, the messages are stored on the server in plaintext, unless you’re using a secret chat. They do this to avoid having to exchange keys between different clients, but what that really means is that it isn’t actually private most of the time.

By default, yes. It is possible to create a so-called secret chat, which is standard for signal and similar, but that’s something you have to manually do. Furthermore, it’s not even possible to make secret chats for groups. When it was initially released, I was cautiously optimistic that it could turn into a good, secure application, but knowing it’s been this long and it hasn’t, I wouldn’t consider that likely.

HID means a human interface device, so most commonly a keyboard, but remote controls can and do use the same protocol just fine.

It’s easy to find a TV with USB-C input, though not universal. That still uses the DP protocol, and cables with different connectors on opposite ends are both cheaper and more common than those with HDMI as a result. Also, this is only even an issue if HDMI 2.0 isn’t fast enough for you, so old devices aren’t a concern.

I’ve never actually used CEC, but everything I’ve seen says it’s just like a USB HID, correct? According to wikipedia, there already exist USB to CEC adapters.

Yes, but that adds more cost. I don’t have any hard data on this, but it feels like their current solution works fine, since anyone using more data than 2160p60, who also won’t accept chroma subsampling, probably is already using DP. Maybe this is a direction to pressure the HDMI forum, since unlike AMD, valve’s drivers are actually open source on the majority of their users’ machines. And if things change in the future, external adapters or proprietary adapters are both solutions.

All of these supposed advantages are solved by USB-C though. Even the length is higher (5m, I believe). I’d be fine if the DisplayPort connector is gone, but the actual standard is just better for most purposes.

That’s still a licensing issue: you’re not allowed to license from the HDMI consortium and then freely sublicense to all your users, which is what open source requires. Hopefully this eventually concludes in the end of relevance for HDMI and we can have a freer, and just better ecosystem in general.

This exists in Canada, and it’s called jmp.chat. They use jabber, rather than simpleX, but they will optionally provide a server, which you could then bridge to your own server without needing port forwarding or anything like that.

They do take payments in monero, but for some reason you can’t create an account with only monero unless you contact support first…and they don’t do support by email, only phone/sms and jabber. There are public jabber servers, so it should be entirely possible, just inconvenient. They also take payment by mail, which I think includes cash.

I’m not sure the logistics of using jmp.chat outside of Canada, but I know it is somewhat possible to do in the US. Of course, there’s nothing forcing you to actually be in the same area as the service, but people who live in the same area as you might question the +1 phone number, and might get charged more by their provider.
