Lots of people recommending Mullvad which I have heard great things about, but worth noting it doesn’t have port-forwarding. If you’re doing any sizable amount of torrenting you may want to consider ProtonVPN which at least has partial port-forwarding support.

It’s good to be skeptical but I think they know what they’re talking about. It’s the forum for privacyguides which has been around since 2021, and previously as privacytools since 2015. Many of the people in the thread are active maintainers of the recommendations and knowledge base, where they apply a pretty rigorous set of standards. In fact, I think the only thing you can reasonably knock them for is being too cautious with new tools, but I think that’s a good instinct in this case, especially since you don’t really lose much by waiting to make sure something is legit and not a honeypot or flash in the pan

PrivacyGuides gang seems to think it’s sussy wussy

Imma be honest (and painfully white) I had no idea what the difference was until I looked it up a minute ago

Poggies

Intel definitely isn’t “going anywhere” but to say that a 10 year low in stock price due to revelations that two generations of chips are ticking time bombs alongside tanking earnings is no biggie seems a bit too “nothing ever happens” pilled

as opposed to gigachads like myself on Alder Lake, right

Working at a grocery store and getting chewed out for putting the brains below the NPUs on the shelf (they have to be sold as conventional now due to contamination)

yarp, that’s the CHIPS act brandon loves to talk up

That’s already covered by Privacy guides here

Appreciate the feedback! I’ll try to incorporate it in a sec. Wondering what your preferred Gallery/Calc apps are? I’m using the Fossify/Stock LineageOS ones respectively so I haven’t explored much in that area

Look into some Chi-fi IEMs. I got the Linseed Salnotes Zero for >$20 off Amazon a year or so ago and have been very pleased. Some minor imbalance issues but they go away when paired with a decent DAC

do we have any info on pricing yet? regardless there’s some very attractive benchmarking on /r/hardware regarding efficiency gains where it does seem like AMD is lacking atm. i don’t need too much beef, just enough to keep indie games chunking on for the next like 6-7 years without being glued to an outlet (i’ve got a desktop for more demanding stuff)

this whole thing has really put a damper on the pog potential for lunar lake. was hoping to finally replace my college laptop (now literally falling apart at the hinge and chassis) come the fall but :/// maybe it’ll be zen 5 for me instead

Infinite money glitch???

PrivacyGuides does actually have some of that in their knowledge base

Librewolf is very well regarded FOSS. There are real arguments not to use it, but being “sketchy” isn’t one of them

ya I meant to list the maintained fork but got the names mixed up
