Coolio thanks. I am a happy Mullvad VPN user so I will check this out next. It’s good to see it uses the Gecko engine, not chromium under the hood.

- Comment on Anubis is awesome and I want to talk aout it 1 month ago:
I don’t really understand what I am seeing here, so I have to ask – are these Security issues a concern?
https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/security
I have a server running a few tiny web sites, so I am considering this, but I’m always concerned about the possibility that adding more things to it could make it less secure, versus more. Thanks for any thoughts.

I’m no expert, but the issue here seems to be replacing many smaller contracts with one big one for Palantir. I. E., one agenda headed in one dark direction.
But what do I know?
- Comment on What is a good self-hosted solution for sharing files with friends? 2 months ago:
You can consider using a Pikapods service for this. It’s dead simple to strand up a server when you need one.
https://www.pikapods.com/apps#storage
They have Gokapi and/or PrivateBin for just about a buck per month. You can turn the service on and off whenever you like. Good company to work with, IME, too.
