You’re partially right, I’d like to add some details: websites can also check if a domain (e.g. example.com) actually exists. So if you smash random letters on your keyboard and you end up with a non-existing domain, a website will be able to stop you from using that address.

More advanced websites also check for an MX record on the domain DNS. If a domain exists but it doesn’t have an MX record, then it’s not going to be able to receive emails and may be blocked in sign up forms.

Edit: not only an MX record, but also an A record, because if no MX record is present, then the mail is sent to the A record as a fallback (even though, in all honesty, I think this is a very uncommon configuration on the modern internet).

Qwant is also good. And it’s building their own index together with Ecosia.

Yes. Disabling RCS is the first thing I do on every new phone. Nobody uses text messages in my country anyway.

Haha yeah sure. That will never happen.

You can also send them money in a letter

Also, the Proton CEO publicly supports Trump

I can’t stand the fact that they don’t support Linux

I think copyright should last maximum 10 years. Plenty of time to earn enough from your creation.

Imagine how advanced we would be, as a civilization, if everything created before 2015 was free for everybody.

That’s exactly what Meta did, they torrented the full libgen database of books.

If they can do it, anybody should be able to do it.

I love em dashes. Fuck AI.

Proton = Trump support

So no for me.

Too bad the owner of Proton supports Trump, so when my two years subscription ends, I’m moving to Tuta or Posteo

Agree. I used to love GNOME, but after GNOME 3.0 everything went to the shitter.

I simply migrated to KDE and I just like it.

I think it’s better on Windows. It feels like a good old school Win9x app

I live in Italy and I’m in your same situation. Never bothered with VPNs and whatnot.

Been torrenting (and eMuling) for 20+ years, never received any letters.

Of course it depends on the country you live in

Also, are you sure you actually need a VPN? Most countries don’t give a fuck about piracy.

Please note that many countries don’t give a fuck about private-use piracy, so in many cases you don’t need a VPN.

Also, my mom doesn’t know what Tailscale is. She just want to watch movies

One other sad thing of Jellyfin is that you can’t access multiple server at once with a unified view

It’s useful to have one of your friends host a home server and share all the movies with your friends. Then you can watch from the smart tv
