Many people use laptops and use other wifi networks or tether to their phone, both can expose you because of unknown firewall states or IPv6 being used.

It’s crazy to me that all these websites advertise pirated/stolen Microsoft keys and aren’t getting in trouble for it.
By default it should be configured to allow all outgoing, and block all incoming. That’s perfectly fine for a desktop/laptop and you don’t need to mess with it.
You can’t really do that much outgoing filtering with a firewall that will be useful, because basically everything operates on port 80/443, and often connects to the same CDNs or datacenter IPs for multiple services.
Instead DNS blocking is a much more effective way to handle it, plus uBlock Origin in your browser.
Immich has been great, I’ve been running it for something like 1.5 years now I think.
I love that they clearly say that. IMO they should keep that notice around even later on.
Far too many people spin up some solution for photos or files, either selfhosted or some paid service, and use it as their only storage. Then they’re surprised when data loss happens.
It would, but it would be a very small difference. Maybe 2-3% at most.
When you use it the browser pops up a window to select a device to connect, I’m not sure if the website can see anything until you actually pick a device and allow.
Torrents work by someone directly connecting to your computer, that’s what happens when you download and seed a torrent after.
So the whole time you’re doing anything with torrents, hundreds/thousands of other computers are connecting to yours to make that work.
It’s a very old game, from before DX12 existed.
Do you have any that you like?
Since you already have wireguard you don’t need any proxies, just set up wireguard to route through the VPS and you should be good to go.
Or you could install a proxy server on the VPS and enter those settings into qBittorrent, if you don’t want to use wireguard as a default route.
That will get your domain shut down if they find out. Risky since all your accounts will be tied to emails at that domain.
Yup, no getting around that.
Domain privacy should be included on most TLDs.
Why would that be the case?
Basically all email is E2EE already since SSL/TLS is usually used for transport, even gmail and similar. But encrypted at rest in theory would help with stopping people from reading emails off the server.
You also have to trust that Proton truly doesn’t have your keys to decrypt, but I imagine they do since you just login with a username/password combo and that’s enough to decrypt the emails.
Although I don’t think it matters that much, my email is basically receiving notifications from services I use and occasional emails with a friend about planning a trip or something like that, nothing that particularly needs to be super private, just using a mail provider that isn’t actively scraping my data for ads (aka; gmail) is enough for me.
For private communications I would use something more suited to that, like any of the reasonable E2EE chat apps.
Fair warning though, using a service like addy.io with randomly generated emails can go bad if they ever shutdown, you’ll be left with tons of accounts on email addresses that no longer exist.
they have an easy way of creating alias-emails
With mailbox.org and other normal mail providers you should just be able to set a catch-all address, then you don’t have to create aliases at all, just type “whatever-you-want@mydomain.com”
If an email provider charges you more to create ‘aliases’ run far away and pick something else.
I wouldn’t switch to Proton personally, they require that you use their own apps or use an IMAP bridge which doesn’t work on Android/iOS. Their ecosystem feels very restrictive.
I don’t see the point of an encrypted email provider like Proton, since 99% of the emails we all receive aren’t encrypted anyways, and sending encrypted emails only easily works to other proton mail users.
Yes, don’t want my domain to be removed/suspended.
The info is hidden from the public since every registrar should include domain privacy for free.
Can also use something like Njalla where they register and hold the domain for you and give you access to it.
