You don’t use Mullvad for their performance, you use them for their insanely paranoid security and privacy practices.

And for the record, I was never impressed with Surfshark speeds. I dropped them when they bundled a virus scanner into their VPN client, that’s sketchy as hell. I don’t want my VPN provider scanning my files.

They said they were looking for privacy-focused, open source options. So get a Unifi AP and flash OpenWRT on it, and that fits the bill.

There are a lot of APs that can be reflashed to run OpenWRT in AP mode.

1. More control. I can make a homemade PFSense router that gives me enterprise grade features like VLANS, VPN options and advanced firewall rules.

2. Performance. A dedicated AP from Unifi or Armada is more powerful and stable than most consumer wireless routers.

3. Price. Building a decent setup yourself actually pretty cost effective compared to high-end consumer routers.

It’s DEFINITELY NOT for everyone, but if you’re a nerd with some networking skills and time to spare you can make a baller enterprise-grade home network for under $300. My budget setup made from used components blows any $500 “premium” router away.

Because OP is asking about APs, not a router/firewall.

Apparently you can flash OpenWRT on some Unifi APs, though I’ve never tried it personally. I have a Unifi AP (with stock firmware) connected to my DIY PFSense box and it’s working great.

I’m smart enough to know that there’s a lot I don’t know, and I took enough psychology classes to know that IQ tests are basically made-up nonsense. Comparing your intelligence to others is a losing battle and a waste of time.

One of the perks of being agnostic is that you don’t have to tell people you’re agnostic. When others ask me about my religion, I just shrug and say I was raised Christian but I’m not really religious anymore. I don’t mention that I’m agnostic unless they pry and ask more questions.

To be fair, it’s just California trying to save us from the monsters that they created 😂 … 😫

Fair, I got about halfway through before I got bored.

Wow he still uses the same intro song and everything

More importantly, if you find something free, expect it to be from a very sketchy company. You should be paying for something like this, and you should go through a company that you TRUST.

Depends on how much money they take over the long term I assume.

Personally I don’t care and I don’t really think it’s THAT unethical, but it is definitely theft. So be aware if you pull little tricks like that in the future. If you get caught, you’ll DEFINITELY get fired and your employer MIGHT press charges (and they would win).

Uhhhhh honey what you’re describing is called “theft”. Also known as “fraud” if you want a different name.

But to answer your question, I usually shit during working hours, so I get paid to shit. It’s a great feeling.

It only uses Sync if you set up a Mozilla account. If you prefer not to do that, you can still set a Primary Password and the passwords will remain local on your machine, encrypted: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-firefox-securely-saves-passwords

Yeah the distinction is pretty small, and usually people are just talking about FOSS software…but I’d rather avoid the semantics so just calling the community “open source” makes sense to me.

I don’t have a definitive answer to your first question, but why would we want to limit a sub to FOSS-only discussion? It’s a more restrictive designation. By calling the sub “open source” we’re keeping it open to software that isn’t technically FOSS.

Ah yes, they fired a bigot. How dare they!

I’ll see if I can find a password manager created by other small-minded bigots and let you know.

It’s fine, if hit-and-run leeching was a huge problem then more trackers would enforce seed ratios. But most don’t, because it’s not. The fact that you mostly leech just means that you can’t most private trackers. Oh well, just use the public trackers instead and seed what you can.
