Get a .ca domain (assuming you’re Canadian), it’s the same price as a .com and the prices don’t change much since they’re controlled majorly by the govt.

Flashbacks of r/askreddit 😔

Check out orangewebsite, they are from Iceland and are pretty private. Ive been using them for around 4 years and have had no issues!

p.s. I only use their domain registration service and not the hosting, so I cannot comment on that.

I also use Windows. I get the attraction of Linux, I use it for my selfhosting, but I absolutely hate it for day-to-day operations or work. So, don’t feel too bad about it, people love shoving shit down others throats.

It’s the easiest when in bed to scratch an itch! Imagine you’re going downhill on a bike, and your back is itchy all the sudden, or you’re swimming in the olympics and you’re now itchy… people take this for granted!

A couple of my favourites :

• Days Gone
• Metro Exodus (I would recommend you play the 2 previous games before to understand the story. They are linear, so if you do not like that, simply watch a playthrough of both of them. BUT. I highly recommend you play and experience the atmosphere of the first 2 games, just my opinion)
• Older Assassin’s creeds (BF, Unity, Creed, Brotherhood, etc)
• Witcher 3
• FFXV
• No Man’s Sky
• Need for Speed Unbound/Heat (which ever one is cheaper, I prefer unbound, but they are pretty similar.)

And, if you have a good computer that can emulate switch games, I would highly recommend BOTW and TOTK as you’ve mentioned in the post. The best open world games there are.

I would prefer to say sane, but maybe you’ve had a taste already and it’s messing up your thoughts…

This ^. A very big downside of defederation. Just be more concious with what you post, and change up ur typing habits.

I would rather just making a wireguard vpn and having control of my data, but privacy might not be his concern.

I’m not from or in America, but imagining a school where every person in that building (kid or adult) is holding a gun walking from point A to point B is very dystopian.

Yeah drive is a pretty good feature. Do be warned though, proton’s overall Linux support is bad, including the VPN and drive. $8 for unlimited (which comes with everything you mentioned) a month is a little steep, but if you’ll use the VPN and the email it’s definitely worth it. Enjoy man.

Which ones? I mentioned more than 2 lol

What made you adamant on getting proton? Curious, cause I could mention some cheaper, but very competent email services.

I have an account I bought from an Indian friend for around $20/y, and the only way I use it is for my TVs. They are “smart”, but not android-based, causing me to not be able to install smartube or the likes.

+1 for Deemix. ARLs are easy to find and the metadata is flawless for the 1-200 or so songs I have.

• Tutanota
• Protonmail
• Mailbox.org
• Posteo.de
• Runbox
• Fastmail

I would recommend either Mailbox or Posteo simply because they cost 1€/m. For email I find that anything more than like $2 is a waste of money, but that is my opinion.

Both Tutanota and Protonmail offer freemium versions of their services.

https://esc.sh/projects/devops-from-scratch/ is a good resource. Most questions you have (that are more specific) are easily searchable on the internet.

ways to safely connect to home servers over the internet while away A couple methods include :

• Installing Wireguard on the host machine
• Reverse-proxying with a VPS
• Cloudflare zero-trust tunnel

when it may be better to spin up services on a VPS instead

Most services you probably won’t need a VPS to do, but off the top of my head a couple services which would be better hosted (not saying self-hosting them on your own hardware is bad) would be services which proxy a service. Example SearxNG, Invidious, Proxitok, etc. This is so that traffic can be shared among multiple users, and not linked back to your home IP.

I was not saying that spending time with my dog was meaningless, just that I prioritized my work, indirectly issuing “less” meaning to the time I spent with him. Either way, the past is the past, I can only go up from here.

Very valid. Hope you find a good alternative, as I understand that ass support is very frustrating to deal with.

Weird. Support was top tier when I had issues. I also own a business account for 30-35 people, and the issues we get are easily resolved by Tutanota. You most likely got a bad rep.
