Mullvad offers DoH and DoT, why not set firefox to use that as well?

In terms of search results, ddg sometimes will find very specific searches better and has more bells and whistles. I still prefer SearXNG, and have been using my instance almost exclusively since setting it up.

Every time this happens to me, the clerk/cashier just shrugs and is like, “okay”. They get it, but are obligated to try anyway. The best you can do is be polite.

Note that Yandex has an aggressive captcha, so it doesn’t really work with SearXNG in its current state. Tested a couple weeks ago.

I don’t know how safe this is, but what I do:

0. Make a local XMR wallet, backup, and host your own blockchain
1. Buy regular crypto, say LTC, from a legit exchange with KYC
2. Swap that to XMR on an anon swap/exchange, storing in your wallet 3 (optional). Move from your first wallet to another, for extra safety???

Spend it where you can, not many places. BTCPay server, which can be self-hosted, supports it, so there are options.

The only time I’ve willingly used a banking app is when they lock out my VPN IP. In those cases the app still usually works for whatever reason. So far, I haven’t found any functionality missing from the webapp, but I’m also dealing with brick and mortar institutions.

I would be concerned as they will eventually probably move to a phone app first ecosystem, however it will probably take a while. Some people are still only using in person and phone banking (where you call them and punch in numbers).

Something like radicle?

Also going to rep purelymail here. Been with them a while and you can really have basically unlimited aliases with custom routing and everything.

For what reason? Just curious. Don’t use them for anything critical.

Yup, thanks for the correction

I believe cocks.li is still open, so you could use them. You said in another reply that you’re not savvy enough for your own domain, but if you change your mind, purelymail.com With your own domain, you can easily switch providers without losing access to your addresses.

That’s a good point, but I don’t figure this theoretical application would be big enough for any manufacturer to care about. I just wanted something for the people :⁠-⁠)

I think an open-source general device benchmark would be cool. Including CPU / GPU / Battery life metrics. As far as I know, everything that does this is proprietary.
