@superboom12s Welcome to the instance!

@Richard @Saorsa @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha Yea, VPNs are used by everyone at this point. ​​

@Saorsa @alex @xaetacore @musha Sad thing is thatin Europe they want to remove this option... It is already limited, since you might have to face fees for just taking your money, not being able to pay more than a thousand with it or that you just CAN'T be paid phisically for your work...

The digital euro sounds pretty dope in theory. Would be a shame though if they did transition their physical euro over to the digital.

@Saorsa @alex @xaetacore @musha Nope. I do use it as secondary mail but I usually use Tuta, but God, I hate this place, let me out already!

@alex @Saorsa @xaetacore @musha I use neither, but I sometimes use my quest 3!

@Richard @alex @Saorsa @xaetacore @musha Thank God they are keeping you away from it.
/j it may be trash but it should be anyone's choice to use it.

@Richard @Saorsa @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha I even know some ex yandex dev ​​

Steam Frame is looking to be a better alternative for VR. With Valve's current track record, there will likely be free software drop-in replacements for the operating system and software as there is for the Steam Deck.

@Saorsa @alex @xaetacore @musha That's the idea... They won't completely remove the phisical currency, but pretty much it will be inconvenient enough to not be able to use daily.

@Saorsa @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha @pm.me Yea I subbed to a year of it cause of VPN and my custom domain mail for work emails

I've been wanting to try their VPN but declaratively configuring the settings for one on NixOS seems like a hassle.

@Saorsa @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha I use it cause it supports port forwarding, mullvad stopped doing it ​​

Mullvad is such a dope VPN. They go above and beyond by using tmpfs for the filesystem on their servers so that the absolute bare minimum can be retained for law enforcement when compelled through subpoenas.

@Saorsa @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha I use their browser extension sometimes, easier than an app at times. For websites only though, and I have an ultimate VPN setup that uses it to proxy different websites to different countries. It uses like 5 VPNs ​​

I usually just end up using Brave's tor window for whenever I need to cheekily access something from another IP address.

@alex @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha

@Saorsa @alex @xaetacore @musha I don't know much about public proxies or VPNs, but please, don't use the Brave Tor client, it had it's HUGE security flaws in the past and it is not kept as updated as the original Tor one.

(Plus Brave is a hateful browser, I wouldn't use it personally, but I think it's better than most commercial browsers out there.)

@Saorsa @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha It is more to unlock features. Netflix streaming, twitter 18+ outside of EU, Russian websites that can be only accessed in Russia, all behind one VPN connection and the server decides where to route it.

I usually try to keep at least one Chromium and Firefox-based browser on my system at any given time. There really aren't any better alternatives at the moment. With Ublock Origin on the way out, it is the only browser with that kind of functionality built in due to it being a fork of it. I only ever use it for stuff that doesn't usually require careful opsec. For anything like that, I would use the Tor browser as you've rightly pointed out.
