    Arch and TempleOS being in the same sentence is pretty apt

    Both are weirdly religious

    Side note, isn’t TempleOS not Linux based?

    Seems like the creator (forget his name) had some beef with Linus Torvalds and was originally trying to build something to get away from his software, no?

    Edit: yeah, based on the Wikipedia Page, it looks like its not based on the Linux Kernel. Also dev’s name was Terry Davis.

      No, it’s not. I’m making fun of NordVPN for calling it one.

      He made it because his schizophrenia made him believe that god told him to make an OS. It’s quite a sad story. ):

        Yeah, I remember reading about it a few years ago. Guy seems really talented, if kinda crazy and pretty racist. Curious to see where he’d be today if he hadn’t lost his marbles.

            Yeah, I don’t think it was confirmed to be suicide, but it sure looks a lot like suicide.

            I guess what I mean to say is that I wonder what he’d be up to if he hadn’t done that.

    As a linux user you should know that all VPN companies are as trustworthy as a chronic liar, and therefore not rely on one. So it doesn’t matter that they don’t support Arch, really. And even good that they don’t support Tails.

        Of course, I need to access my two different networks from anywhere anyway. And then I can also force all traffic through random proxies.

        Probably TOR.

        I hear I2P had a lot of potential, but also a lot of issues. Haven’t checked up on that project in a bit. I know it was a BITCH to set up when I tried plinking with it some years ago.

        So TOR (despite the latency/speed issues and its own security concerns) is still probably about as good as it gets.

          I think people shouldn’t be using Tor for daily usage. It just slows down the network for those who actually need it. It would be better if people donated to the Tor project or ran their nodes instead

            Completely agree.

            Kinda get the vibe that guy I’m replying to is asking for the times when its actually needed. If I’ve got the wrong mark there and they’re looking for daily driving, then Mullvad VPN (or comparable) is probably the better way to go.

              Yeah, Mullvad seems to have done the most to prove that they’re not harvesting your data. You still have to trust them, but there’s evidence that they’re trying.

          Yea, i2p is slightly more involved than just starting up tor browser, but its not that bad. The real problem for this case is that it doesnt have exit nodes built into the protocol, so getting to the internet is a bit harder.

            So, if I recall correctly, I had to set up a device as an i2p server (seems like they were super light weight and you could configure your phone to do it) and then you could use your browser of choice with the “i2p server” as a proxy.

            Its my understanding that each of the “i2p servers” acted as both an entry point and an exit point. That is to say, while my traffic entered the network there, there were other people’s traffic that could be routed through and/or exit via my server.

            Am I wrong on that assessment?

        Kinda misphrased, I didn’t want to call out you specifically, I don’t think you’d be stupid enough to fall for VPN companies, that was more of a general statement to/about all linux users :3

      Isn’t VPN a must-have to avoid IP-tracking without downsides of Tor (slow, Cloudfare etc.)?

        A VPN introduces a new party who can harvest your data. It doesn’t avoid IP tracking, it just shifts it from your ISP to another entity.

        You have to trust that your VPN provider’s claims of no logging/tracking are accurate, you can usually get fairly confident with research but it’s never 100%.

          a foreign commercial company is the safer choice compared to ur local isp who is bound to handover ur data to ur government if they ask for it. plus there are plenty of good vpn providers who can be considered credible due to third party audits and them being open source

          What are the alternatives? I feel tor might be good, but I don’t want to overload the n/w with 1080p FreeTube videos.

        The vpn use case is mostly when you have an internet provider that is actively monitoring you or accessing blocked content

        You’re only shifting the tracking from your ISP and the target server to the VPN company, which is just as likely to talk.

          No, I mean, if I want a website to not know who I am? Isn’t Brave or Librewolf with fingerprinting protection and a VPN a valid choice?

            Would prefer a random non transparent proxy for that. Or just only use IPv6, and have your router rotate that every so often. And, of course, minimize traffic to bad websites.
