I think the intercept did a good story on the lab leak theory. It's more broadly focused on gain of function research. you can read the transcript or listen to the podcast here

Brave Browser may be a bit problematic.

pirat ,

Totally, but it's the same company, no?
Wouldn't the issues with the ownership of the browser also pertain to the search engine?

Kagi gives money to google?

pirat ,

Wasn't matrix developed by Amdocs initially? which has ties to the Israeli intelligence infrastructure?

This combined with the collection of metadata would be a redflag for me.

pirat ,

AirVPN is the best. whole heartedly recommended this service.

pirat ,

Are you open to some additional thoughts / feedback on feedback / constructive criticism?

pirat ,

I thought I had hit reply on your other comment going into more detail (whoops!).

Like I did in this example, ask if people are open to feedback (if you're the one giving it).

Often when I am training groups on how to work together, I always try and frame feedback as a gift.

If someone is giving you feedback, they are genuinely trying to help you grow - and that's a gift. The issue here though, is not everyone is a good gift giver - and we can't control that.

What we do have control over is how we recieve gifts - often all you need to do is say thank you. Don't explain why you're not going to use this feedback (if you plan not to incorporate it). Other than clarifying the feedback to better understand how to incorporate it, saying thank you is the best way to go about it.

As far as delivering feedback I always say "if you can choose to be anything in this world why choose anything other than kind."

It is important to state that "being kind" doesn't mean not having the difficult conversations or delivering difficult feedback - you can still do that without being cruel. Being assertive isn't being aggressive.

A bit rambly but if you're ever working with folx on delivering feedback, I've found that presenting these frameworks with it ste super helpful

What's your budget and what's your risk appetite?

what are you goals with having a music streaming service (IE: just to play albums you know or discover new artists)?

pirat ,

If you're okay doing a little bit of legwork:
Whatbox.ca as a remote service that you can upload (or download torrents) directly to it. I think they're Canadian but I'm not 100% - just has a lot of good guides to get you up and running.

I'm a fan of Plex, but they are an American company and they continue to enshitify with their policies - I bought a lifetime pass a long time ago because I really enjoyed their music player plexamp.

Jellyfin is the free and open source option, but I don't think you'll get some of the nice features like music analysis and a library radio that tries to pull things together in a somewhat comprehensive way.

This is my music solution. If you're listening at lossless and only have 1000 albums their smallest option is 2tb(€14/mo) server slot which would likely be hosted in NL.

RE: risk tolerance if you've got the know how you can set this up on a locally hosted server using Jellyfin and torrent directly to it. Advantage of a seedbox is the transfer of risk.

in 2010 as well...

curious as to your recommendations?

10 Years of /r/Conspiracy: Archive Ready to Clone & Host (2008–2018) ( conspiracy.hackliberty.org )

I’m excited to share a comprehensive archive of /r/Conspiracy posts spanning 10 years—from August 15, 2008 through October 15, 2018! The archive includes every post that either achieved a score of 25+ or garnered 25+ comments, ensuring that even those seemingly low-scoring yet controversial posts are in the mix. ...

Contrapoints new video is quite timely.

Seedbox: how to start?

Hi people! I have been pirating for myself for over 30 years now, and with the ever growing size of warez and the laughable upstream limit my ISP has, i have come to the point where it's not practical to maintain a 1:1 ratio for all torrents anymore - my active torrent list keeps growing beyond practical limits, and i'm someone ...

pirat ,

whatbox is awesome and their support team is top notch.

lots you can do with their system.

pirat ,

100%
they're awesome - and you can install your own apps on the instance, probably could use it for hosting a site if wanted.

I set up a foundry instance on mine.

pirat ,

most security planning workshops start with this statement:

"it is unreasonable as well as impossible to try and protect against every threat out there. there is no magic app, website, service that will solve everything. security is a mindset, and taking the time to understand what you want to protect and why will serve you better than any application."

pirat ,

Pretty sure this is a fan video lifting clips from Ron Fricke's non-narrarive documentaries Bakara and Samara. Dangalfd (the YouTube channel) also did this with Sega Sunset pulling from the anime anthology "Neo Tokyo" and is the short "Running Man."

I just have an issue with people lifting things and not even crediting where they have found them from.

Lorn only has a few official videos which are wonderful in their own right:

regarding privacy concerns - is mailbox.org a problem as Germany belongs to the 14 eyes treaty?

pirat ,

is there a specific order in which these are supposed to be read?
I feel lost as AF, but dig the art and a lot of the different pieces as I come across them.

pirat ,

Tuta also doesn't easily support pgp and has no plans to integrate it. "we encrypy our stuff for you, trust us bro"

pirat ,

So any concern about mailbox.Org severs being in Berlin and Germany being apart of the 14eyes alliance?

pirat ,

I'm just teaching myself - maybe good practice.

I have concerns about mailbox being under jurisdiction of 14eyes.

pirat ,

That's right
feels a bit silly now

pirat ,

they look interesting but I can't find out anything about where they have their servers located.

pirat ,

I can't find anything specific on their data security - do you have a link to that?

pirat OP ,

For being tired this outlined a lot of great points and good alternatives. Nubo has my eye and I'm going to look into starting the process with them.

pirat OP , (edited )

They look pretty good; I can't tell from their site of they offer custom domain support for email.

pirat OP ,

Yeah - mostly was the hope of this post to see what others you put up.

I had looked at tuta but I'm looking to be able to move my digital workspace (email, calendar, storage, docs, etc) over.

pirat OP ,

Yeah, been strongly considering that recently as well but I have a lot to learn.

I really want to have a custom domain, murena seems to have everything that I'm looking for, if I wanted to have a custom domain still I'd have to self host.

I've heard that self hosting can lead to a bunch of email getting snagged in spam filters. In regards to self-hostijg I'm definitly in the unconscious ignorance (I don't know what I don't know) phase of it.

pirat OP ,

It seems murena has all in looking for with the exception of supporting custom domain names (unless you self host). The workspace aspect is important to me as I do a lot of collaborative work that is much easier with shared access to a spreadsheet.

pirat OP ,

I mean I couldn't find a lot of the other things but I do know the climate activist one is verifiable.

I found this article that goes more in depth with cooperation with other lawn enforcement agencies.

pirat OP ,

I am genuinely curious about other sources - I tried to do digging on some but couldn't verify all the claims. No rush, get some rest and whenever you get a chance I'd love to read / learn more.

pirat OP ,

Totally fair point there.

I do want to move to a more secure OS for my mobile device, and I'm just in the babysteps of understanding the wide world of the Linux ecosystem.

pirat OP ,

XD
The HOAs are out to get folx

pirat OP ,

Yeah, long term I do want to self host and I've now been doing reading on next cloud.

I used to flash to cyanogenos on a galaxy2 back in the day and I'm looking at different ROMs to try out now (suggestions welcome).

That being said, I'm new to Linux and haven't done much home server stuff, but am motivated to learn more.

pirat OP ,

Well the company's board has a choice on who represents them and what their values are as a whole.

If the company thought that this person (CEO on this case) doesn't represent their values effectively they can remove them.

pirat OP ,

Yeah, I ended up going with mailbox until I can self host my own stuff.
