By default it should be configured to allow all outgoing, and block all incoming. That’s perfectly fine for a desktop/laptop and you don’t need to mess with it.
You can’t really do that much outgoing filtering with a firewall that will be useful, because basically everything operates on port 80/443, and often connects to the same CDNs or datacenter IPs for multiple services.
Instead DNS blocking is a much more effective way to handle it, plus uBlock Origin in your browser.
Migrate PWs to bitwarden first.
Then you can use Firefox Sync if you want to sync data between the browsers.
Or just do a one-time bookmarks export and import if you don’t want to use sync.
It would, but it would be a very small difference. Maybe 2-3% at most.
Torrents work by someone directly connecting to your computer, that’s what happens when you download and seed a torrent after.
So the whole time you’re doing anything with torrents, hundreds/thousands of other computers are connecting to yours to make that work.
No but people use it because it’s pleasant and easy to use with a nice UI, lots of features for stickers and sharing content, etc…
Having encryption and being ‘secure’ is not what will get most people to switch from Discord and Telegram, having the same features and doing it even better will.
Notice it says “MAY be collected”, because if you want to you can share your phone number, email, etc with the app to allow people to find you easier.
Same with location and stuff like that, if you use an option to share your location or connect to bluetooth devices it will obviously need your location permission.
Correct any personal info is opt-in, ie; you can put your phone number and email in if you want to make it easier for friends to find you.
Only through Jitsi as I remember, it wasn’t very good if that’s what they’re still using.
The same issue as XMPP, tons of clients each with partial support for features.
Well that’s disappointing.
Just add it onto the pile of all the other stupid stuff Mozilla is doing I guess.
You can adapt SATA drives to an SAS controller, but you cannot adapt SAS drives to a SATA controller.
I don’t see any of it really, my feed is all gay stuff lol
Is that any different from no one checking the code every update?
You can run a basic model on pretty mid-range hardware, the smaller ones are only 1-2GB in size.
Why would that be the case?
Does rclone support Proton Drive? That’d be an option until an official client comes out.
Regardless of whether Hoffman’s stuff is good or not, coffee taste is kind of a unique thing for each person so experimenting and trying things until you find what you want just makes sense.
I just do full system images for that reason, easier than trying to pick and choose what should be backed up. Used to use Veeam, currently using Synology Active Backup.
For online backups I don’t due to size, but for local backups it’s just way easier.
To install at minimum you’ll need to likely shrink existing partitions and create new ones for linux if you don’t want to wipe the drive, that would be a dual-boot setup with Windows still installed along side. Or you can just wipe the drive entirely and have only Linux.
Regarding the files you should already have backups of anything important, if you don’t, set it up ASAP.
Messing with partitions can easily cause data loss if something goes wrong.
You also never know when hardware failure, malware, power surges, lightning strikes, or whatever other disaster will happen and cause data loss. 1 copy of files might as well be 0 copies.
Many people use laptops and use other wifi networks or tether to their phone, both can expose you because of unknown firewall states or IPv6 being used.
