I don't think a vpn and mail providers can relate in this scenario.

I have heard in the past that authorities have forced (possibly proton, but I forget) to basically wiretap incoming mail before proton can encrypt it for storage on the users account (because pretty much no one sends encrypted mail in a way that only the receiver can read it).

The only data other than that, that they store is ip logs (when forced to, I believe) and recovery email addresses. They are not able to present existing encrypted mail to authorities (from before a wiretap).

This seems overblown, I don't think theres more they can do. Users have to start sending encrypted mail from their inbox, then the wiretapping won't be an issue (proton address to proton address can work like this I think).

Them dropping sms took away a big carrot for adoption though.

Still miss that feature everytime I get an SMS or have to send an sms if data isn't working.

That article is stupid. Any company that receives a "legally binding order" has to comply with it.. what would you expect?

Most companies aren't going to commit a crime to protect a user (like that one dude who ran an email service and destroyed it when he was required to hand over data, forgot his name!!!!). If they did, they'd be out of business...

(The article isn't exactly dumb, but it doesn't address this properly in my opinion. The outrage over it seems dumb to me. The government will force companies to do whatever it wants, be mad at the gov not the corpo in this case when its to apprehend a journalist or whatever.. i understand if its a terrorist or similar, but this specific case may be more poopy om the gov behalf)

Not sure why people care so much, the individual can think whatever he wants, it hasn't stopped proton from continuing on its good path (even though I don't use them much nowadays, they are a great service with a respectable free tier).

The problem is unfettered access, not access at all.

average user doesn’t even know what a port number or IP address is

They don't need to, just give them a url, username and password and let them type each for each field.

(If you mean because you want them to configure a vpn to access your jellyfin instance, then just expose it to the internet and skip that, which surely you pretty much have to do for your plex instance)

Cost:Convenience

Do people really think this or will they think (like everyone i know) that it's free and I can watch what I want.

I don't know why the car has the persons name, but it's the same thing with most peoples smartphones. People usually never turn off bluetooth when not in use and it's always blasting their name. Though it is of course easier to see who Oscar is when there's a whole car model to match it to.

For car's, I wonder why they can't only blast a device name while in pairing mode. Dunno of it's just not a possibility, but that seems smort.

Very fun fact, so much so I wanted to know more.

originates from the Greek helix (ἕλιξ), genitive helikos (ἕλῐκος), "helix, spiral, whirl, convolution"[1] and pteron (πτερόν) "wing"

Thanks for your reply, I will definitely keep that in mind if Seafile fails to meet any critera moving on, but yeah your last point is also right, it would probably be a big pain to migrate out at this point with all my data for multiple users here.

It seems a lot has been modernising recently, I didn't know they were also using Go, but hopefully they continue with it for new code.

That makes a lot of sense, wish you good luck on the whole process

The problem is that content rights holders setup bots that track who is torrenting media that they own (all the peers they can connect to).

Then they use your ip to ask your ISP to stop you.

As far as i am aware (and possibly wrong), magnet links aren't any more secure than using a .torrent file, it's just another form of it that can be easily clicked (or copied) to open in your client (i've never looked but it might just be a link containing the info that would be in the torrent file).
