I'd say typical Apple User fucking up opsec.
How to use protonmail securely:
- Create account via https://protonmailrmez3lotccipshtkleegetolb73fuirgj7r4o4vfu7ozyd.onion/
- Never ever, ever connect to protonmail through anything else than Tor (I don't think they have i2p yet)
- don't use any personal data, especially a recovery email (duh)
- Profit

I had major problems with i2pplus. The good news is that standalone snark 2.5.0 is working well with my current setups.

This is a very complex question. The Arch people were to NOT able to get a decent Qubes template even though they CAN kick Qubes developer ass blinded and one hand tied behind their backs. Arch has the best software people and documentation. Did I kiss your ass enough?
One of the problems is the update/installation networks. Arch handles most hardware like a champ. At this point torrents are your best bet.
Maintenace screen time is another problem. If it is more than 5 hours a week, you lost me. I hate screen time even TV and sometimes cinema.
The level of skill of the user is also a factor (audience). Arch requires a very knowledgeable user. The Austrian Arch-Crap is just unsecured crap with my rating being toxic.
The rest is standard: reproducible builds, snapshots and the rest of the buzzwords that do mean something.
Let me know if you have a decent Qubes template that I can install the easy way. I did use Arch for a few month and some hardware wizards use it all the time, but they need a truck load of equipment to make it safe and anonymous.

The Law Firm that I use once in a decade uses Proton VPN and Proton email. It is more of an advertising gimmick. I offered, I rarely do for this profession, to set them up, but they refused saying it will make them a target. I personally did not have any luck setting a free account or it was closed in a few days. I would be very careful with any Swiss claims in general... bullshit is their way of living.

This is more sinister than it sounds. I currently don't have a cellphone for this very reason. I was able in the past to make hardware and software changes to cellphone to greatly reduce the tracking ability of service providers. One of the problems is that once you start roaming your service gets shut down and in some cases the phone is locked because the next guys don't make enough money from you. It is a jungle out there and really the solutions are cost and time consuming. I don't believe slavers can be reformed under the current conditions. These people are descendants of Sugar and Cotton slavers. Maybe somebody can explain to me why a Sugar Slaver is called a Sugar Baron.

The story would not be complete without the side effects which I personally experienced.
When I graduated the prestigious Burger Flip University the top 10% could not find jobs. The bottom 40% were employed at 6x the minimum wage before the last day of class. The rest was a mixed bag. I eventually found a workaholic which offered 2.5x minimum with an agreement that I would not leave for 1 year. He offered that to a lot of briliant people. It was not enough to pay student loans so a lot of people turned to drug dealing on the side. Nobody was ever caught and nobody got addicted. After another such experience at 4.5 x minimum I became a hired gun... which turned up OK and fited my lifestyle.

Yes it works when dockerized. In the upcoming week I will be making a blog post at blog.itcomputes.i2p. I have updated everything and started using tailscale to expose the port on the mesh network locally. It is the same for tor and i2p. I was having to many issues so I waited to figure it out fully then google started blocking my tube.itcomputes.net / banning my ips. Right now I finished my search2.itcomputes.i2p searxng, working on many projects atm.
Email me if have any questions be then: privacyosint@mail.i2p/ privacyosint@tutamail.com/ privacy_osint000@proton.me

There is a RIGHT 2 REPAIR movement. Car companies are aware that customers would choose that Right over some crap data that cops might get. PC Magazine is crap and does not mention what data the cops got. Most car companies are also aware of the term "to much data" when they tried 2 switch 2 "just in time production" without warehouses. I know so much about the industry that I put this story into the DECEPTION category.

Interesting. Will have to look into this rumor given the unprecedented banning of tiktok happening.
Everyone keeps asking him to buy everything since they like Twitter -- for now. I think it will become open to more restricted as user dependence increases. Or maybe it will slowly be filled with AI bots to shape user mindset (oops, too late!). ;)
Seems once in the US... Lobbyists get their claws into everything commercial.

Nice - Another I really like is Netsurf: https://www.netsurf-browser.org/
But may have to check this one out for fun.
Example: lower resource devices like Pinephone / single board computers, these lightweight options can be quite nice.
Another one that has comparable features to firefox (and its own options) is Falkon: https://www.falkon.org/
As someone who ran i2p browsing set up on (original / beta) Pinephone as main phone for a few years (til screen broke), finding something lightweight enhances pinephone user experience quite a bit, compared to FF ( ram hog).
Thanks for sharing this new option (new for me anyway). :)

The police would pay to much to get that data from cell phone companies, insurance companies etc. I guess the car lobby did not pay the dues to them locusts. It appears that Tesla might be the new Tik Tok silent owner but I don't really know all the details. Blinken went to cosign that lower tit yaughurt... Maybe you are better informed on the subject.

For his situation it is a wonderful idea. For me it is a terrible ideea. I doubt that you want to be in his shoes at the current time. Go see a Taylor Swift concert or watch House of Russia. Very few uninitiated on this network.

Take a look at latest post by IDK - at the moment suggesting turning off Sybil banning and latest dev release has this. Until updating, good idea to turn it off to help stabilize network: https://www.reddit.com/r/i2p/comments/1cdprxg/network_weather_update_still_stormy_suggested/

http://waycuw2c27ruakfblkf5tcegwmt3ot445dlfoypil6bzmm4yxg7a.b32.i2p/ The idea is that it will work as specified on the above site. You have the info there and maybe it does work. A Wikipedia page would be ideal. I wonder what school did the poster attend... it is too late for me.

Some explanations/screen-shots would be nice. If I somehow I spent days on it and I found it less desirable than expected, you would might bite your tongue. There is a great oportunity to create the Wikipedia page for BitChan if you have that much time on your hands. To many questions to ask...

Considering the goggles, I would say you were watching the eclipse or picked up welding. I'm going to look into the Snark thing next month. Until than it makes a great reseed along with the official (waiting for a brain transplant list) update. To understand that you cut your vacation short because the network is running great... don't worry is not your fault.

Due to the recent network attacks, prior to rolling out mitigations I2P+ may have presented some issue for some due to the extra-aggressive Sybil detection/banning implementation. This should now be resolved. Please let me know if you're still experiencing issues.
