It’s not weird when they are saying weird things and you want to find out about their motives.

Each of which depend on chrome and google’s decisions.

Companies doing an IPO are not public companies (yet)

You also need to buy that TV to test that

No one encrypts their emails, yes. As a protonmail user I don’t do it either, because proton’s software does that automatically for me.

With the email system, end to end encryption is only beneficial to you, it doesn’t have a disadvantage for you. It’s totally transparent, meaning that it works without affecting how you do things normally.

Where do you turn it off?

Didn’t know it’s possible, but I also don’t understand why would you do that

But most of these are not must haves. Like, SteamDB?

But if you’re pursuing a MSc, you shouldn’t be wasting your time with gaming either, so that’s not a problem… /s

That’s true, but I may be interested in things that I wouldn’t think of by myself that they exist.

I honestly doubt that WSL runs at native speeds. WSL2 literally runs in a VM, and IO performance is known to be worse even compared to WSL1. Maybe it’s just not directly noticable. Do you run a graphical environment in it? If not, that could help a lot too in not noticing it.

That’s very weird as with docker on windows you technically run your containers in a linux vm, and besides that, in my experience windows is not nearly stable enough to be useful for running services.
All while I have been deploying selfhosted services for myself without problems on Linux for years. My only problem has been the constantly overloaded system, but that’s no surprise when you run heavy services on the 10+ year old portable hard drive system disk. Windows would only perform worse in that environment.

Fortunately that’s optional

What about 300%?

Besides a TOR node, you can also run an I2P “router” (which is a software package).

This is not an outproxy/exit node, so unless your country prohibits in law participating in routing network traffic (afaik not really a thing), this can’t get you into trouble.

I2P is a hidden network like Tor, but compared to that (while it is usable for browsing websites while hiding your IP from it) it’s a better choice for in-network services. Unlike with Tor it does not dislike bittorrent and such.
Everyone who runs a router can not only access I2P sites/services, but also participates in routing the traffic of other users, and with a stable and relatively fast internet connection you can help to improve connection speeds of the network for everyone.

I think there’s a missing detail.

Do you want to use different towels for the different parts of you even right after showering? Or only so that a different one for after shovering, another for your hands for when you just washed hands, and another for the face when you just washed your face?
I don’t think the former is normal, but the latter is. A different one for showring and just washing your hands is good to have I think, and if you have got oily skin then a third one for your face is also completely understandable.

Yes, but actually no, if you want to access it remotely. DONT OPEN THE WEB PORTS TO THE INTERNET, rather use a vpn like wireguard to connect in to the home network.

Also, backups.

Please read my comment again. My concerns are not about google drive shutting down. These have happened to real people.

Yes, that may be an option… except that google can irreversibly lock you out of your account, or they can delete your files if their content scanning think it goes against some of their terms, but also simply there are people who don’t want to lose their privacy to google.

If you can see DMs between 2 e.g. sh.itjust.works users that’s very worrying, but if you can only see messages where one participant is registered on your instance, that’s just natural.

Other than that, I think vote information should only be visible to

• the instance’s admins where the user is registered
• the community’s mods (and in turn the admins of it’s instance) where the reaction has taken place,
  and not to any and all instance admin who is federating with your instance.

I don’t use spotify, and I thought those are volume buttons, and did not understand where are the like and dislike buttons until I read the post. I think this is just a dumb design choice.
