VPN Logging Policies in 2025: Which 'No-Logs' Providers Pass the Test? in c/piracy

If you like one spy over another, be my guest. I think companies that spy are not worth it at all.

ExpressVPN is a Chinese govt aproved company... do all audits you want. You need trust. Audits doesn't matter. They can change everything after. I trust IVPN and Mullvad

Is self-hosted OpenVPN on a vps safe enough for p2p? in c/piracy
[–] Dsklnsadog 21 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

VPS VPN hides you from ISP but VPS IP still shows to peers → worst case: abuse email/suspension. Use WireGuard, not OpenVPN: faster, leaner, modern crypto. No compression, full-tunnel + DNS leak protection, firewall to block non-VPN traffic, minimal logs. If host’s fine with P2P, you’re set.

Disney's AI Paradox: Pursues OpenAI Deal While Suing Rival Firms in c/[email protected]
[–] Dsklnsadog -4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, I find it ridiculous that companies like Disney want to claim ownership over the data used to train AI models. Training data isn’t duplication, it’s learning. The same way humans study, reference, and reinterpret. Trying to monetize every aspect of “influence” is a slippery slope that stifles innovation just to protect legacy revenue streams.

This isn't about fairness, it's about control. And the more these companies try to dominate every avenue of cultural expression, the more irrelevant they risk becoming.

Even so. You can always make a screencapture.

We need to be autocritic here. Most of us don't get it. That's the problem.

Do you have to be fluent in these languages to be a polyglot, or am I considered one? in c/[email protected]
[–] Dsklnsadog 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (3 children)

Honestly, I only speak two languages, and to me, someone like you is definitely a polyglot. I get that you don’t wanna sound full of yourself or anything, but calling it what it is isn’t arrogant—it’s just being accurate. You speak four languages! That’s amazing, and you should own it. I'm bilingual, and sure, my native language is stronger, but that doesn’t mean I downplay the other one. Give yourself some credit, seriously.

Standard Notes is changing its license (github.com)

Hello everyone,

I've been using Standard Notes on the recommendation of Privacy Guides since the beginning of this year, I believe, and it has truly been a fantastic experience. It serves my purpose perfectly, is truly cross-platform, open source, and lightweight. It was a real find, and I couldn't be happier to have it installed. However, it seems that they are planning to change the licensing to one that restricts companies from abusing their code (which makes sense), but I wanted to know if this goes against the guidelines in terms of considering it recommendable.

I don't really understand licenses, so correct me if I'm wrong, but with this change if the project becomes private, a fork couldn't be created for all users who want to continue having the software format but not the backend... Is that correct?

Thanks

Is there a Fritter alternative? (self.privacy)
 

Is there any app like Fritter? I mean, I need Twitter for my job, but in a passive way. What is the best option without login in the official app or website (Linux/Android).

Thanks!

Extension Pack in VirtualBox, is there a privacy risk? (self.privacy)

Hello, I try to keep my Debian laptop as private as possible, but for work, I need to use Windows software, so I run a VirtualBox with Windows 11. My PC runs smoothly without any issues, but I need to access my specific hardware USB ports, and it doesn't recognize them. I read that I need to install the Extension Pack, so I downloaded it, but before installing it, I get a warning message that seems to suggest I'm accepting some risk to my computer. I don't really understand this stuff, so I wanted to ask the following:

Is there any security or privacy risk associated with the VirtualBox Extension Pack?

Is there any other way to access my USB-C devices without installing it? (I've already tried selecting USB 2.0 and 3.0, but the list shows "no device available").

Thank you very much to whoever responds.

PS: Also I found this on the Internet: "The user agreement VirtualBox extension pack states of sharing a user’s data to the US govt. including the hardware information and so on. Does it make sense even if I use Tails/Whonix for anonymity?" :-/
