What is a good mail provider nowadays?Every single one asks for phone number, secondary e-mail address or does something retarded like you can't register to any online service without provided either of the two (Proton), some don't even use imap/pop and you can't use them with a client. It's hell.
>>108508302Temp-mail.org for signups
>>108508302Simple. Gmail. Disable smart features and grouping and you'll have ad-free mail both on mobile and web version. Every other e-mail provider is either honeypot CIA shit or simply retarded.put your meme keys into mailvelope and thunderbird encrypt your lolis whola. le epin private mail
>>108508302Buy a domain on Dreamhost, they provide paid email service even with web interface. Do not expect nothing good or private for free.

do people like authenticator apps?i broke my phone and got locked out of my bank, steam, post office and other things.everysingle one needed an authenticator or some app i didn't have access to anymore.i had to take out my sim and plug it into another phone to end up using the sms verification stuff, if i didn't have another phone, i'd be screwed.do people enjoy this? like are jobs made solely for this so they won't go away?I'm honestly so lost why things need to be so complex now, where just not having a single device causes so many issues
>>108507871Which shouldn't they?
No. They're still better than fucking email 2fa because if you lose your email address, you are locked out for life. You can't back up a gmail address, but you can back up your authenticator keys. Not with google authenticator though, I use aegis.
>>108507866i have authenticator on my phone for my work VPN. i've thought about what a pain in the ass it would be if my phone died. then i stopped caring because it's mr. shekelberg's problem. all forms of authentication and 2FA are fucking retarded. whoever invented this nonsense is going to be tortured in hell for all eternity.
>>108508153Most normie apps sell your data so at this point I think the best defense you could have is unironically writing your stuff in pencil on a sticky note or a real life notepad.The average internet zoomer is afraid of leaving their house so anything in your physical house is safe.

do i really need a VPN to torrent? ive been doing this for over 10 years now from movies to games and its not like i got spam mailed or anything, is there really a threat to not using a vpn?
I've never had to but I do anyway. You can set it up in such a way that your client won't connect unless you're VPN is on
>>108508087>functional governmentWhat a fucking retard
>>108507685I've torrented terabytes worth of JAV films in Australia without issue. No VPN.
>>108507685I've gotten complaint notices forwarded from my ISP. Movie studios have troll lawyers that scan IP pools and send out legal threats. Not going to get my service cut over some shitty movie I probably won't end up watching anyway.
>>108507685Depends on your location, but in general copy right holders spy on popular torrents, and torrenting without VPN is the only way they can catch you pirating.In NA, ISPs can forward threatening e-mails to you from the copy right holders, and some cucked ISPs can impose penalties if you are caught too many times (such as deliberately slowing down your internet). A recent court case in the USA established that ISPs are not responsible for policing whether people pirate on the internet, so ISPs are less incentivized to be cucked now; some people many such messages and are fine ignoring them. Also, copy right holders can't mass-sue people; they will have to request information on and prosecute copy right infringers individually based on lost revenue damages; so for the vast majority of torrent pirates, attempting to prosecute them will lose the copy right holders money, and there are too many torrent pirates them to be deterred by a few unfortunate examples.Being caught VPN pirating in the EU can get you fined directly by the government in some places.Otherwise, you are mostly fine torrenting without VPN elsewhere, especially if your country's internet doesn't have fixed IP addresses.

>>108506299T14 gen 2 is probably the easiest of these not to go wrong with. Screens are ok to good, RAM can be expanded and CPUs, especially the AMD ones, should be good for another few years. It isn't super sturdy by pre-2017 standards but it's backpack-worthy if you cover the screen with a thin cloth. L14 gen 2 is a passable alternative, essentially T14 but thicker, but you have to mind the screen which is sometimes an ugly 1366x768 TN.

>>108444677they still make thinkpads and they're among the best laptops for the same reasons as ever. linux support, build quality, good displays, keyboard, thinknipple, battery life, thermals, noise, replacement parts.i'm pretty excited for the newest t14 panther lake with lpcamm2 memory. libreboot is a meme but you can buy new laptops with coreboot from starlabs, nova custom and system76. that's the most attractive alternative to thinkpads.

Why can't we accept that IPv6 is a dumpster fire and leave it in the trash where it belongs
>>108502090>Why can't we accept that IPv6 is a dumpster fireIPv6 is the original boiling frog. Big tech just keep pushing and assume eventually we'll get tired, or we'll die and youngsters will not know any better.Here's what we could of had: >The Road Not Taken: A World Where IPv4 Evolvedhttps://owl.billpg.com/ipv4x/
>>108509226>NAT was great for security Meh, IPV6 drops connections by default unless you specifically allow connections on that port. Its functionally the same security, but it allows you to connect to a device without having to go through a nat or buy a static IP. IPV6 is great for everyday people who want to host their own services or want to use cool peer to peer technology. IPV6 hasn't been adopted because it would make a ton of businesses and services obsolete overnight.

>>108510399>Here's another retard. NAT is not a firewall.except it behaves like a stateful firewall, you can call it whatever you want but if it blocks packets based on some logic it is a firewall
>>108510399>Default firewall rule Sure, but that solves the security argument for NAT. So functionally there is no loss. >Nothing stops them [...] except IPV4 exhaustion So a huge unsolvable technical issue with IPV4 stops them. I agree why I want IPV6>IPV4 still works Tying a note to a rock and throwing it at the recipient still works too. If something works is only one small metric to determine whether or not you should use it. IPV4 lost a lot of traits that provided real value to the consumer. IPV6 would bring those traits back. We only need to suffer moving over and then we get all the benefits.

>>108510413I don't think fuji makes film anymore and they're just selling what they have in storage and some rebranded kodak stuff. there are multiple black and white film makers, but for color there's just Kodak, fuji and I think one in yuropsomething weird is going on with kodak, like 20 years ago they went bankrupt and had to sell the rights to sell their stills film to the bong government to meet their pension fund requirements. the bongs then sold that company, alaris, to some VC fund in LA. a bunch of companies, most notably cinestill, were violating whatever contract/order kodak had by buying movie filmstock and then respooling it and selling it as stills film, but then all of a sudden this year or last year alaris said whatever and now Kodak is rebranding a bunch of their stocks and selling it directly to people without alaris. they also brought back ekatachrome after it had been discontinued for 10 years. like they literally, in the past week, renamed portra and IDK why. though I only like portra 800. all 3 of them were professional films and they had natural color for professionals and vivid color. in like 2010 they updated 400 and 160 so they're both very digital like, probably as close to digital as you can get on film because you are supposed to edit the color timing on a computer. kodak's movie films are or were the same way where you did the color timing digitally. portra 800 is an older formula and wasn't updated like the other 2 so it's much higher contrast so it has better colors which people like from film. historically consumer films that did well were really high in contrast and professional films were flat and low contrast
