This is the community fork that is still maintained. There are multiple instances like invidious and from what I understand it is relatively easy to self host. Since it is only for short term file storage and its E2EE I do not really mind using one of the public instances.
Savings in battery. It’s mostly just from not running google play in the background. If you then go on to root that custom ROM you might be able to use some specific root tweaks. I suspect the savings for a custom ROM to be 10% or less. Airplane mode and battery saver will help a decent amount which is available on stock.
I might consider kodi since it will probably be more organized. Vlc will have normal file navigation but with kodi it will organize everything into movies and TV shows. If its going to be a purely offline device then you can just flash a custom ROM and see a decent amount of savings. It will likely be difficult to find a current generation phone with an sdcard and a tablet might make more sense for this use case. If you know you are gonna flash the device you are going to get you should make sure it has decent custom ROM support. Generally if it has an official lineageos build then it is well supported. All of this might honestly be more trouble than it is worth if you are not experienced with flashing a custom ROM so maybe just start with stock and see if you actually need to first.
What would be the consequence if I was physically not able to return the money? Depending on that I will probably invest differently. I would probably be dumb and just ignore the money cause I thought it was a scam or something though.
But what if I only care about sleep. Nothing else matters but sleep
For the most part I think both systems are pretty even to protecting the passwords that are on your actual machine. One pro that I can think of for vaultwarden is its less likely that malware would be able to find it since it runs on the browser. One con of this is however you have an additional attack vector that is the server vaultwarden is running on. Should an attacker gain access to that server they could easily replace vaultwarden with a malicious version and grab your password that way.
I bought a desoldering iron for a project I was working on. Seemed to work fine although the thing had no power switch and was very uncomfortable to hold. I just needed it for one project so it made sense and I think it had a fair amount of compromises given the savings. Sometimes cheap does make sense
I am also honestly surprised how much money is to be made in drop shipping. Like is there just a significant portion of the population just seeing ads clicking them then buying whatever product from some shady website. Then they wait a month for it to arrive from China in a package that has been very obviously drop shipped. Like does no one do any research into what they are buying and what it should cost?
I’m more concerned about security. In most circumstances my data is really not worth that much especially when hardware is involved. They might be collecting some data for other reasons but I am not convinced that a significant amount of hardware has a malicious backdoor.
I have found that a lot of VPN filters to not always work. Whenever I get a screen that says blocked for using a VPN I can usually get past it just by changing my location a few times. It might also make sense to try a different provider since they are gonna have a different set of IP addresses.
I researched this a bit previously for proton and I think there was one case where someone had their account deleted but they were using the service excessively. I also read that if you do upgrade to a premium subscription support can help you merge your accounts together so I guess they kind of support it. If your making a few accounts even on the same IP you are probably fine just don’t login to them in quick succession and you will probably be fine. I do suggest you use an aliasing service when you can.
This is the perfect example of why privacy matters. No matter how much you trust a parent company one day when the investors come knocking they are legally obligated to liquidate all assets to the highest bidder. Today its 23andme tomorrow it could be discord, google, amazon, Facebook or any other tech company.
I have done it a few times although now I usually do Ctrl c and backspace
Oh the joys of Linux. The simplest things take the longest and you always end up learning some random ecosystem you never wanted to learn. Eventually you will find some weird set or circumstances that make everything work in which case you will never touch it again. Then 5-10 years from now you will finally realize all the mistakes you made when you no longer care about the problem you are trying to solve.
When you don’t want your neighbors to sell
Just did a fresh install after attempting to migrate from a proxmox VM to baremetal (turns out my mobo only supports UEFI and after spending an hr trying to convert I just gave up and reinstalled)
This is why I always wash dishes as soon as I am done with them. Sure it might take longer but it means that they always get done.
Part of it is just the network effect. If the people they want to follow are on twitter then they do not really have a choice. Also part of it is the algorithms. For some needing to manually select communities or individuals is an inconvenience. Finally I feel like fedi communities have a very distinct atmosphere simply because very few people use it. This can all change in the future but the majority of the issues stem from just not having enough creators and users as well as the additional effort required to use these platforms.
It is unlikely that the service itself will delete your data. Although if it is one of those job board sites like indeed that try to build a profile and sell it to employers it might make sense to delete your account so your information is no longer forwarded
