“Muh property value”

Ever had 'em fresh? Love me some warm nuts.

Aren’t those just like, twunks?

Tl;Dr: I used Proton and Tuta, both work well and respect privacy. I will encourage E2EE though.

My suggestion is largely dependent on your use case. I’m switching from Proton to Tuta actively, but not necessarily due to a slight to Proton. I simply used to use their VPN + Email combo, but recently wanted to switch to Mullvad VPN, so Tuta then became cheaper.

As far as E2EE discussions go, I dont feel E2EE/PGP is ever a bad thing to have. Namely, encrypted communications have a smaller threat surface. I’d advocate in the modern day, all respectable services should offer it anyways. With how easy PGP is to setup, any company that doesnt do E2EE by default is likely motivated against it, which speaks ill of their privacy practices.

For services in general, most privacy respecting services are hosted in Europe. Switzerland and Germany for Proton and Tuta respectively, which what might ease your stress a bit is that they do still need to follow the GDPR, but all good providers I’m familiar with are European based.

If you have a balcony, could try out what I’m giving a whirl and do a lil’ container garden! It’s nothing massive, and squirrels sure need to be planned around, but herbs seem to be working out beautifully so far.

I have often wondered how effective it’d be to just use a spraypaint canister on a pole.

Also, dont bring a phone with, at all. Or anyone else. Or any Bluetooth devices. Bad opsec can lead to bad outcomes.

Also worth noting: Flock cameras and most other ALPRs operate at 840nm, which is perfect for purchasing IR LEDs at their operating wavelength, so you can hide them behind a license plate border to toggle on whenever you drive past one to wash out any details they could pickup.

But a police officer would definitely be pulling you over and citing you if they catch that, so like, be sneaky or vigilant with its use.

What I’ve interpreted from it is that people seem to say this with an extra layer unspoken. For most of recent history, as you got older, you tended to be more prosperous. Assets you could buy into accumulated substantial value, retirement came easy, and a family was relatively easier to support. Thing is, when they look to younger ages from this point, they’ve got more than the youth does, and without explaining what you’ve probably heard a hundred times, it makes 'em wanna hold onto what they’ve got.

In recent years though, that feeling seems to be largely subsiding. People feel they cannot obtain this relative prosperity at all, some feel the world’s been sold, and the infinite growth model of capitalism has fallen off, save for the very richest of the rich. I think this explains more or less why the approach of ‘getting more conservative as you age’ seems to be dying off, and it’s more of a product of a moment that’s in the past.

Worth noting: Thunderbird also has this vulnerability. TailsOS users who care heavily about opsec are probably seething rn.

Psyllum Husk works well, Meta-Mucil if you just wanna hit up a generic store for it.

I mix a 50/50 of husk and offbrand Mucil, because it is rather sugary.

I call dibs on this guy’s rat!

Likely that the sub is called ‘Buy European’.
