While the original comment has validity, I think it's important to know that a lot of the proton news you'll find is very "drop it immediately" biased.

I definitely think the news left a bad taste that's worth keeping an eye on, but I don't think it should eliminate them completely as an option. Especially for newer privacy advocates.

Edit: full disclosure for future readers, I may be biased as well since I do continue to use proton services and I love it. But I still try to look at both sides on things like this.

Yeah. I'm trying to compromise based on "threat level" but I'm also happy to try a way to f*** over the data tracking/profiling anyway I can. Lol

Awesome explanation. Thank you! I've been getting more into privacy and security here and there and I've also degoogled with graphene, run brave with strict blocking, VPN with ad blocking, etc. I knew JavaScript could be bad but never looked into it much. I may make that my next endeavor.

Pardon my ignorance but HTTPS certs can be middle manned? Could you give me a TLDR of how if you got some time?

Question on that topic, is blocking JavaScript generally advised in browser settings? I've tried it once or twice and noticed things like login buttons might not work. Any difference with using the extensions?

I will definitely check this out. Sounds really promising from the quick glimpse and most importantly, affordable.

Edit: gesture typing made me type adorable lol.

Any specific ones to look into?

Not a contributing comment but just wanted to say:

THIS IS THE WAY

For those that needed to hear that.

I currently use Waze because the features are awesome but how has your experience been with organic maps? I want to use it but worried about it not being great. I haven't actually tried it.

Thanks for the advice. It isn't an end all if I can't get it to work in this way. Just thought I'd give it a try since I saw there was a helper script for Proxmox. I wasn't aware of the limitations that may come with this though. I guess either upgrading routers in the future for something for customizable may be a better option.

[–] JackAttack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Both great questions. I did not check the hardware and I definitely should have..as far as passthrough I have not. I really only ran the helper script to install the Proxmox VM and configurations. I'll have to check the settings when I'm back home to see what exactly it did.

Well currently I have a nest wifi pro router that doesn't allow a lot of customization. (I used to be a Google fan). And since I had a beelink I figured I would try it. I was also wanting to be able to run a VPN on my router and the nest doesn't allow clients.
