If you see that I’ve edited some of my posts/comments, it’s most likely a grammatical error or a spelling mistake I’ve fixed as I’m not a native speaker :)

  • They can still see what sites you visit even with Secure DNS though. That only blocks your ISP from seeing what domain names you’re connecting to, but they can still see the IP addresses. It’s useless, unless you’re using a VPN in which case it is worse for your privacy as it makes you more identifiable than just using your VPN’s DNS.


  • My recommendations:
    Organic Maps -> CoMaps (they got forked because of some bad decisions.)
    Brave -> Helium (has full uBlock Origin and Ungoogled Chromium patches, and no crypto bloat)
    LibreTube -> PipePipe (has some nice features like live chat, and less buggy in my experience)
    LibreOffice -> OnlyOffice (has better Microsoft Office compatibility, and easier to use in my experience)

    Disable your third-party DNS, that only works to make you more identifiable as you’re already using a VPN. You can also use Syncthing to sync your password vault etc. between your devices. I’d also recommend using Posteo instead of Tuta because it is cheaper and its privacy policy is kinda better.



  • Mullvad VPN is always enabled with lockdown mode on my PC and my phone, I’m supposing that they’ve shadowbanned me because I’m using a VPN. I also don’t think Reddit is going to keep my IP private from the government so that’s why I do not plan on creating an account without a VPN.

    I guess I could go to a cafe and try signing up via public Wi-Fi, but most of those in my city require a phone number to connect to, so I’m currently trying to find a way to do this without searching for a cafe that doesn’t have such a requirement :(

    She was that way for some time, telling everyone that she respected trans people, just didn’t want them in the bathrooms she was in. She has long dropped the act though, and now fully supports the idea that trans women are all rapists.

    It’s the same shtick all conservative influencers do. They act like their position is one of common sense while strawmanning the opinions of the left to hell (JKR does this with constant tweets about how biological sex is a real thing, which no one fucking denies, she’s the one denying the scientific consensus around sex, gender, and gender dysphoria), and then when they have garnered enough followers and people gain more of an emotional attachment to them instead of a rational one they show their true colors. This tweet from when Trump won the election comes to mind:

    And no, trans people are not serial rapists.
