Last I checked, Mint only allows you to encrypt your home partition. I know that Fedora supports full disk encryption via a toggle at installation.

Classic Rangeman! Looks great

I believe a diver who was a member of the Vietnamese Marines died.

Yeah, he was never Tony Stark. He's been consistently spouting shit his entire career, and a lot of people failed to see it.

Having a dedicated IP is not necessarily as important as having support for port forwarding. For example, Torguard has support for port forwarding, and their implementation happens to bind the port to a dedicated IP. In that case, port forwarding is the feature that matters for torrenting, as it will make you more easily connectable to peers you're sendind / receiving data to / from.

You are correct about a lack of standardized VOIP encryption, I hadnt thought of that as I never make calls using XMPP.

I was talking about individuals self hosting XMPP, not organizations. And I would imagine its much more popular for organizations to host XMPP servers, as government agencies and business already have been since the early 2000s.

As for the metadata leaking, while metadata is obviously available to the admins of the servers you and you recipient are using, these chat histories are not synced in their entirely, and not to other instances. Is this not the same in Matrix, except that the metadata is more freely shared between servers?

Either way, SimpleX chat addresses most of Matrix and XMPP's shortcomings, I hope it can one day replace them.

I use KISS, which I do not think has this feature. Bummer!

How can I use these icons?

I recommend Torguard. Works great for me.

I had this exact issue yesterday! Either link to Imgur or Pixelfed via the url field, or downscale the image. I recommend ImagePipe or Image Toolbox.

True, but thats a search engine. They inject ads into every search, your web browser has no business doing that.

Because assuming theyre not breaking any other laws, I dont think you can differentiate the public place outside of a masjid from any other public place. Urination and intoxication are illegal in all public places.
