Looking to set up a basic static website. What domain registrar should I go with? Would prefer something that has more privacy obviously. Any recommendations on hosting services (cannot host on own hardware right now)?

I would need something that has reasonable security, can work with LetsEncrypt SSL certs, and preferably has either privacy respecting analytics or no analytics. Don't want google to bother me or my website visitors.

This looks fantastic. Thanks for the link!

 

Are there any robot vacuums/mops that respect privacy; that don't map your house and phone home with the information?

Really looking forward to this wave; the tracks look amazing! Koopa Cape especially

Nah, that was just the cherry on top for me. GOG also refuses to support Linux with their client, delisted a Taiwanese game due to Chinese government pressure, have hedged REALLY close to DRM content like with Hitman...

The cyberpunk 2077 was just another case if acting in bad faith. CD projekt red acts in bad faith. Till they change that, I am sticking with steam

Thank you for the informative reply! I am curious; why does the framework laptop fall short of a dream laptop? Can you elaborate?

Aw darn it. I was just about to switch to them too... Unless they get bought by an idealist buyer, they are just gonna get gobbled up by the big 3...

 

Title. Still haven't figured that one out. On mobile

It seems meta wants "off the record" meetings with instance admins, such as Fosstodon https://fosstodon.org/@kev/110592625692688836

 

I say tell Meta to pound sand

In that case, assuming I read you correctly, I have to disagree. Privacy and security companies cannot rely on advertising or telemetry to be profitable; doing so is counter and paradoxical to their standing as a security/privacy company.

Bitwarden seems to be doing just fine. 1Password should be taking cues from them, not advertising revenue

Being honest, its really hard for me to buy a pop_os laptop when the framework laptop exists. Being able to have that level of customizability and self repair options are just too good to pass up.

Suggestion: perhaps pop_os could collab with framework to make a pop_os laptop that is far more customizable and repairable than what is currently available

Nah. Its just a tried and true step of enshitification. Fingers crossed that bitwarden is already profitable so we still have a good cloud password manager...

Genuinely cannot tell if you are sarcastic or not.

I'm not sure its a good idea to recommend in privacy guides if it is a security issue or it breaks things...

 

Just wanna take a moment to let people know about a very, very good and reputable tool for privacy and windows. I personally think it should be recommended on the main Privacy Guides site if you use windows. This is not a substitute for using Linux, however.

Linux is better, but if you have to use Windows, the Chris Titus Tech tool is quite easy to use, extremely powerful, and has been actively developed for a long time. You can set power-user privacy options easily, massively debloat your windows installation, install programs, and easily set your update settings to security only, if that is what you want.

Just wondering about the communty's and mod's thoughts (like Jonah). I've used the tool for a long time and I am always impressed with it, especially as it comes from somebody who has a sterling reputation on computer and Linux know-how
