Not mullvad in this case, since they no longer lffer port forwarding.

No, since on GrapheneOS Google Play Store/Services doesn't have permission to silently install/uninstall apps. They are sandboxed like any other app (i.e. F-Droid).

Agreed, but in this case the external drives have the same USB to SATA/M.2 adapter internally. So the amount of parts is the same, but they can be replaced individually.

Also, the seperate adapter can help reusing any other old internal drives. For example as an offsite backup.

I'd rather use torrents, since they are p2p which I really like (decentralized, not possible to take down, etc). The reason I'm downloading through Usenet is that there just isn't dual language content on public trackers. And I don't know the private trackers that have german dl, and neither do I have ratio on any trackers except %30 with a few hundred gb upload on torrenleech thanks to a seedbox.

It's similar in Germany and I guess most of Europe. For any device capable of copying copyrighted material the GEMA collects royalties because it could be used legal private copies. It's currently 0,30€ for USB sticks and 13€ for PC's. They even collect fees for devices like smartwatches and printers.

This fee is explicitly not for illegal distribution of copyrighted material but only for legal private copies. It's absurd.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a complete iso, but a part of the "Linux ISO" is enough. Since your still helping others complete their "ISO" illegally.

Yes it's inexcusable in my opinion that they want over 1000€ for a single movie. 600€ is still a lot of money but asking so much more than the "damage" is obviously worth is just...

I heard of some people who actually paid the fine they were asked for, since they didn't know better (it wasn't them but an exchange student from a country where torrenting media isn't an issue, or so they said).

It probably depends on the consumer. Most (older) people I know are always irritated which cable they actually need, so it's great to just be able to give them one with USB C.

Edit: They often have other devices with USB C anyway (e.g. headphones).

I don't know any reason why switching to USB-C would've been on Apple's roadmap. Controlling the lighting ecosystem is far too valuable for them. Apple's refusal to switch to the common USB-C is one of the reasons this law exists in it's current form.

If that was the case apple wouldn't talk so openly about how that's bad for the consumer. They want to keep Lightning since they want to control the iPhone accessory ecosystem.

Instead of ssh I use wireguard directly. It's a simple protocol based on public/private keys with great performance and security.

Wireguard is stateless and establishes connections really quickly on demand. This means the battery isn't impacted even though it's always on, since the VPN doesn't have to maintain a constant connection. At least that's the case if your routing only a specific subnet (e.g. 192.168.1.0/24 and not all traffic through it 0.0.0.0/0).

It's planned to allow pointing immich to a directory as a read only gallery. This wouldn't import the images, but still show them.

Can't find it atm on my phone though.
